《Buddhism Fanatic》


 C1

    In a relatively spacious part of the forest sat a stone Buddha. The Buddha statue''s body was surrounded by branches and branches, and its facial features seemed to have become blurry due to the erosion of the wind and rain. Although it had experienced many hardships, it still sat between the heaven and earth, as if it had never changed.


    A youth covered in blood kneeled in front of the Buddha statue. His eyes were closed and his breath was gone, but a red fruit was still tightly held in his hand.


    After a fierce battle, he finally managed to snatch the Blood Vermillion Devil Fruit from the demon beasts, but he was already severely injured. However, at this time, he had met his opponent and was chased all the way to this place.


    His heart was filled with despair as he died!


    "Brother Hu, we caught up to him!"


    An ear-piercing sound rang, and a few fifteen to sixteen year old youths came out of the forest. They all stared at the kneeling Buddha youth with unfriendly gazes, and in the end, their gazes locked onto the Scarlet Fruit in his hands.


    "Haha ¡­"


    The leader, Hu Liang, laughed complacently. "Lu Yang, you won''t be able to escape anymore. Be sensible and hand over your things!"


    With that, Hu Liang waved his hands to his comrades, and the few youths immediately spread out, surrounding Lu Yang.


    All of their directions had been blocked, but Lu Yang did not react.


    The smile on Hu Liang''s face became even wider. "It''s a waste for you to eat this Spirit Fruit. With your talent, you can''t even absorb a tenth of its spiritual energy. Let me enjoy this good stuff!"


    As he spoke, Hu Liang strode forward, and before long he was in front of Lu Yang. But even so, Lu Yang acted as if he did not sense anything, and did not make a move.


    "Since you are not willing to give it to me, then I will have to take it for myself!"


    Hu Liang could not help but become angry, he snorted and extended his hand out, grabbing towards Lu Yang who was kneeling down.


    At this moment ¡ª


    Boom! *


    Before the youths present had a chance to react, a deep sound rang out, and everyone only saw Hu Liang, who had retreated a few steps, and Lu Yang, who had stood up at some point in time.


    "Ten thousand years have passed?!"


    Lu Yang''s eyes were filled with indescribably complex emotions, there was also confusion, doubt, and vicissitudes.


    A message appeared in his mind, as if it had come from a long, long time ago.


    "The Ancestral Buddha prophesied: 80,000 years later, the classic will be destroyed. At that time, no one believed in the Buddha, and no one imprinted a scripture. Only ''Vajra Subduing the Devils'' will appear in the world, and all living beings will be able to traverse ¡­"


    The memories in the depths of his mind started to piece together bit by bit. Lu Yang realized that he had been reborn into the era of the Prophecy of the Ancestral Buddha.


    "Demons in the World ¡­" The Buddhist mantras dissipated and the daoists were cut off ¡­ The prophecy came true... This is an era where Magical Beast ran rampant and the Demonic Cultivator was everywhere?! "


    The memories of this life slowly merged together and the changes that had occurred in the world over the past ten thousand years stunned Lu Yang for a moment.


    He was once the most outstanding genius in the buddhist faith, and his intelligence could be said to have rarely been seen in ten thousand years. Because of his worry, he left the buddhist faith and entered the world to roam the world.


    "Lu Yang!"


    An angry shout came from the front, startling Lu Yang out of his thoughts. He raised his head, and saw a youth in front staring at him with a gloomy face.


    "Hu Liang ¡­" The young master of the Hu Family of Qingta City, my ¡­ "Right."


    Lu Yang recognized Hu Liang from his past life''s memories. Because the relationship between the two families had always been bad, he and Hu Liang had clashed quite a bit.


    "Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit?"


    At this time, Lu Yang also noticed the object in his hands, and could not help but laugh: "A first grade Spirit Fruit blood was born from the Spirit Demon Blood, but it also contains the berserk Qi of the Spirit Demon Blood, so it is usually used in medicine, and cannot be directly absorbed."


    Back then, when he was travelling around, Lu Yang had learnt a lot of things, and these medicinal ingredients were merely the basics.


    "Although most people can''t directly absorb it, just knowing the way to refine it wouldn''t affect any berserk energy at all."


    Lu Yang laughed and opened his mouth, allowing Hu Liang and the rest to stare in a daze, he immediately stuffed the Spirit Demon Fruit into his mouth and swallowed it!


    "Is this kid crazy?"


    The teenagers looked at each other in dismay. Everyone knew that they couldn''t eat the demonic fruit directly!


    If the berserk energy entered his body, he would at least suffer damage to his body and mind!


    Buzz ¡­


    However, Lu Yang''s body only trembled slightly, as though nothing had happened. He completely refined the power of the Spirit Demon Fruit, and then, a burst of light aura surged out from his body.


    The faint aura of the Dharma Idol was so solemn that no one dared to look at it directly.


    "This guy ¡­" Did you really absorb the Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit? "


    All the youths were stunned.


    "How dare you eat my demon fruit ¡­ Lu Yang, you are finished today! "


    Hu Liang was furious as he gritted his teeth at Lu Yang.


    Lu Yang raised the corner of his mouth and stared at Hu Liang with blazing eyes, "If you want me to die, I''m afraid you don''t have the ability."


    Everyone was startled at first, but then burst out in laughter.


    "Hahaha ¡­" Am I hearing things? This guy still has the face to say such words. Haven''t you been beaten up a lot by Brother Hu in the past few years? "


    "I''m afraid I''ve been struck dumb by that violent energy that entered my brain. I actually dare to provoke Brother Hu!"


    Hu Liang also found Lu Yang''s words to be extremely laughable. "Looks like you haven''t learnt enough lessons. I''ll teach you how to be a good person with good intentions today!"


    At the same time his voice fell, Hu Liang stepped forward, and suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yang. At the same time, he raised his fist, wanting to catch Lu Yang off guard, and a faint light actually surged on his fist.


    "Light from the outside..." Brother Hu used his spiritual energy!


    Seeing Hu Liang''s attack, the youths couldn''t help but exclaim in surprise. Using spiritual energy was something only true cultivators could do!


    "That kid is going to have a tragedy!"


    An expression of schadenfreude emerged on the faces of the youths. Although Hu Liang was only at the early stage of the The Psychic Realm, Lu Yang, who could not use his spirit energy yet, would at least be lying on the ground for a month after receiving such a punch.


    Bang!


    A deep sound came out, causing everyone''s heart to tremble, because they saw, the fiercely attacking Hu Liang, was actually casually flung away by Lu Yang with a wave of his hand!


    Plop!


    This time, Hu Liang didn''t even have the chance to stand up straight before his body was thrown to the ground. Before he could even clear his head, he felt a tearing pain in his body. He had suffered some internal injuries.


    The entire stadium was silent!


    The smiles on the faces of the surrounding teenagers instantly disappeared without a trace. They were replaced with absolute shock. Their mouths were so wide that it looked like eggs could be stuffed into them.


    "No ¡­" "That''s impossible!"


    Hu Liang, who had always held the upper hand against Lu Yang, had actually lost to Lu Yang at this moment, and even lost so thoroughly, how could he be willing!


    "Look!" The dust of light in his hands! "


    Right at this moment, a surprised exclamation came out from the crowd once again, and in the next moment, everyone''s eyes were focused on Lu Yang''s hand, and on the hand that was waving Hu Liang.


    Tss tss ¡­


    Lu Yang''s right hand shone with a faint radiance, which was also covered by a layer of faint light!


    "Exposure of Spiritual Qi to Light..." He also advanced into the The Psychic Realm! "


    One of the youths couldn''t help but exclaim, causing everyone to be stunned.


    No wonder he could defeat Hu Liang!

 C2

    After Hu Liang and the rest were chased away, Lu Yang did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he chose a secluded place and continued to cultivate.


    Although he had borrowed the Spirit Fruit''s power to advance into the The Psychic Realm, the Spirit Element contained within the Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit had not been absorbed by him, and was instead flowing within his body. If he was unable to refine it, the energy would dissipate along with time, wasting it.


    Lu Yang sat cross-legged in the forest with his eyes closed. After he adjusted his breathing, a cultivation technique appeared in his sea of consciousness.


    "Diamond Demon Subduing Scripture!"


    Looking at those incomparably familiar words, Lu Yang couldn''t help but feel a sense of familiarity in his heart.


    This was a buddhist technique that he had cultivated in his previous life. Because he had devoted his entire life''s effort into cultivating it, Lu Yang''s grasp of this technique had reached a superb level.


    Lu Yang started to circulate the Spirit Element in his body according to the technique, urging the medicinal power in his meridians to circulate through his veins. The The Psychic Realm cultivators had not even opened their Spirit Spring, but the body''s Spirit Element could only be stored with extremely limited amount of muscles.


    But Lu Yang''s movement was not purely to channel the Spirit Fruit''s power into his body, but to use this power to temper his muscles and bones!


    The Vajra Subduing Scripture was divided into two parts: the inner part and the outer part. The inner part cultivated the Arcane Demon Subduing Scripture, while the outer part cultivated the body of the Vajra Body!


    Other than a few Body Refinement cultivators, most cultivators would only let their body absorb Spirit Element.


    Although this would require more Spirit Element s, which would affect the speed at which the cultivator raised their cultivation, the strengthening of the body could increase the cultivator''s battle prowess, giving the cultivator a huge advantage against opponents of the same level, and even allowing them to use this advantage to defeat opponents of higher cultivation!


    The Spirit Element circulated for several days in his body before it finally exhausted all of its medicinal power. Lu Yang''s body trembled uncontrollably, the medicinal power of the Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit had actually been completely absorbed by him!


    Generally speaking, cultivators would not be able to completely absorb the Spirit Element that had been absorbed into their body, the absorption rate would deviate a bit depending on their abilities, but with an average of about 50%, reaching 70% was already considered extremely outstanding, and over 80% could only be achieved by those blessed by the heavens ¡­


    But even with Lu Yang''s mastery of the Spirit Element, he was actually able to reach a shockingly high mastery of a hundred percent!


    "Phew ¡­"


    Slowly exhaling a breath, Lu Yang opened his eyes and a faint golden light shone.


    Although he had completely refined the effects of the Blood Vermilion Devil Fruit, he had only used about fifty percent of it to temper his body. Therefore, although the strength of his body had increased, the increase in his cultivation level was not obvious.


    The ranking of cultivators started from The Psychic Realm, with Spiritual Spring Realm, Spirit Lake Realm, and so on. Each rank was further subdivided into the first, middle, and last stages.


    Lu Yang was currently only at the early stage of The Psychic Realm. Although he had completely absorbed the Spirit Element from the Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit, he was still a bit away from the middle stage.


    Buzz! Buzz!


    Just as Lu Yang finished his cultivation, his body suddenly released a buzzing sound.


    With a thought, Lu Yang flipped his wrist, and a burst of golden colored light and dust dispersed out from his body, slowly converging towards his palm. On top of his palm, a bunch of mysterious light engravings that seemed to be formed.


    Buzz ¡­


    The light engravings converged and in the end, it transformed into an ancient looking book.


    On the back of the book were many engravings of profound and difficult to understand truths, which emitted a strange golden light.


    "Devil Subduing Heavenly Book, you are still here."


    Looking at the book that was quietly floating in his hand, Lu Yang spoke as if he was talking to an old friend that he had just reunited with after a long separation.


    This was a magical equipment that Lu Yang had obtained in his previous life, and it was also an extremely unique buddhist artifact. The profound characters on it were all concealing secret incantations, and even the¡¶ Vajra Subduing Scripture¡· that Lu Yang had learned had been comprehended from within.


    With a single thought, the ancient book opened, revealing a blank space inside.


    There was not a single word inside the book!


    "The Devil Subduing Record is still empty ¡­"


    Lu Yang nodded slightly.


    The Devil Subduing Heavenly Book itself was a powerful magic tool, and the blank pages inside were also called "Devil Subduing Record". It was a special magic tool that could store Monster within!


    And the length of the entire scroll, was enough to contain eighty-one Magical Beast.


    The level of Magical Beast that they could subdue was also restricted by Lu Yang''s strength. If they could not overwhelm the other party in terms of strength, it would be very difficult to keep them in the records. But for those Magical Beast that were stronger than him, he could also think of ways to make them weaker so that he could subdue them.


    "And the matter of the Dharma dissipating ¡­"


    Lu Yang frowned slightly.


    In this life, he had no Buddhist memories at all. It should be said that in the world after his rebirth, the Buddhist sect no longer existed.


    However, it was still too early for Lu Yang to investigate into these things. His main mission right now was to raise his cultivation.


    After figuring out all of these things, Lu Yang stood up and patted off the dust on his body.


    He had been searching for the Spirit Fruit from home for a few days now, and it was time to go back.


    "..."


    Lu Family was not a big family in terms of size. Although it could not be compared to the top three powers, it was still one of the twenty powers that could freely conduct business approved by City Lord''s Mansion. Thus, it could be considered as a position in the city.


    "Young Master Lu Yang is back?"


    As he walked through the Lu Family gate, Lu Yang saw respectful gazes from the servants.


    He was stunned for a moment, then he smiled as if nothing had happened, nodded to the crowd, and left, completely ignoring the mocking looks on the servants'' faces.


    Lu Yang''s father, Lu Zhan, did not have much of a status in the Lu Family. His own results were last in the family exam not long ago, so his elders'' evaluation of him as not having any talent for cultivation made it even more impossible to get attention.


    Furthermore, he had previously been annulled by the Ye Family, and had even become the laughingstock of the entire Lu Family. Those servants who were adept at using the wind as the rudder would naturally not care about the face of such a useless young master ¡­


    When he returned to the side yard, he could faintly hear people chatting in the house.


    "Yang Er is back?"


    Just as Lu Yang walked in, a pale skinny middle-aged man in the room nodded his head slightly, then coughed twice, causing his face to look even more haggard.


    "Father."


    Lu Yang responded with a sound. He looked at Lu Zhan with a complicated gaze: Father''s old injury...


    "Master Chen is here too?"


    Lu Yang''s gaze moved to the other fat middle-aged man in the room.


    This middle-aged man wore a luxurious robe with two golden Dan Wan s engraved on it. One could tell from the red light that he was someone who lived like a prince with an arrogant expression on his face.


    "A Tier 2 alchemist from the Danchen Pavilion ¡­"


    Soon after, this person''s information appeared in Lu Yang''s mind.


    This person was called Chen An. He was employed by the Danchen Pavilion and did not belong to any power. He was treated as a Tier 2 alchemist among the various powers. Although he could refine pills for the sect, the fee was quite high.


    Lu Yang never had a good impression of this Master Chen, every time he came to the house, it would be because of his father''s illness, and the pills Master Chen gave him were not only unable to completely cure his father''s old illness, but also required a large fee.

 C3

    "Did father''s illness worsen again?"


    Lu Yang turned to look at Lu Zhan with concern, only to see that although the latter was weak, his Qi was stable, and did not seem to be abnormal.


    "Hmm?!"


    Upon closer inspection, Lu Yang discovered that a faintly discernible strand of black energy had flashed past the center of Lu Zhan''s brows.


    Just as Lu Yang was about to investigate further, the black aura had already disappeared, and at this moment, Lu Zhan also opened his mouth and said, "It''s not me, it''s Lian''er ¡­"


    "Little Sister Qing Lian?" Lu Yang was a little surprised.


    Lu Zhan nodded his head, "Lian''er''s strange illness has broken out again, and I''ve been unconscious for the entire morning. Seeing that the situation isn''t right, I had someone invite Master Chen over to take a look."


    Lu Yang cast a suspicious gaze at the Master Chen. After all these years, no matter whether it was his father''s or his sister''s injuries, the medicine that the Master Chen had sold to them had not improved at all ¡­


    Master Chen had a face full of pride: "Brother Lu does not need to worry, Niece Qing Lian took that ''Scarlet Nectar'', and will wake up very soon."


    "Yes."


    Lu Zhan muttered and nodded. The worry on his face showed that he did not have that much confidence in the Master Chen.


    "Redbeard Danshen, a second rank elixir, has the ability to activate blood circulation. It can be used to refine medicine, and at the same time, it contains a certain amount of Spirit Element. Because of the blood circulation effect, the absorption rate of Spirit Element is higher, consuming it can increase one''s spiritual energy, and it can also be used to refine supplementary pills and increase the elixir ¡­"


    Lu Yang muttered the information that came to his mind.


    The description that Lu Yang had given was actually a good one word, it was even more detailed than the introduction of ordinary books on medicinal herbs. To understand it to such an extent, perhaps only cultivators who wished to advance in the path of pills would put in this effort.


    Master Chen could not help but look at Lu Yang twice before praising his lightly, "I didn''t think that Nephew Lu Yang was so knowledgeable about medicinal ingredients, then I would know that with the help of this kind of medicinal herb, he would definitely be able to open Niece Qing Lian''s meridians. At that time, the warm and cold energy in her body would converge and her strange illness would naturally be cured ¡­"


    Speaking up to here, Master Chen''s expression became more and more pleased, as if the strange disease which had caused so many alchemists to be helpless in the city had been solved by him.


    "I spent a lot of effort to get this Danshen pill. I initially wanted to use it to concoct pills, but my niece Qing Lian was in a critical condition so I could only bear with it. However, this thing is still precious ¡­"


    The Master Chen stopped midway, but looked at Lu Zhan with a greedy look, as he did not notice the change in his expression.


    "Please rest assured Master Chen, we will definitely not let you suffer any losses ¡­"


    As Lu Zhan said this, he sighed secretly in his heart. He clearly knew that he would be ruthlessly slaughtered by the Master Chen, but there was nothing he could do about it ¡­ As long as he could cure that suffering child ¡­


    When Master Chen heard this, he nodded his head in satisfaction. He did not join any powers because he wanted to reap the benefits from them.


    "That''s not right!"


    At this moment, an ear-piercing sound rang in the room.


    "Yang Er, what''s wrong?" Lu Zhan asked anxiously.


    "We can''t let Qing Lian consume that Danshen!"


    Before he finished his sentence, Lu Yang had already turned and rushed out.


    The confused Lu Zhan and Master Chen were startled, but they still followed him.


    Inside the elegant room, a pretty girl was lying unconscious on the bed. Her innocent face was filled with pain, showing that she was suffering unknowingly.


    "Qing Lian, drink the medicine."


    A slightly older girl beside the bed scooped up the soup and was about to feed it to the young girl to drink.


    "Sister Lu Qi, don''t!"


    Suddenly, a shout came from outside the door, before Lu Qi could react, a gust of wind blew over suddenly.


    Lu Qi did not expect that, when the gust of wind hit her hand, it directly caused the bowl of ginseng soup to fall, and sprinkled all over the ground.


    "Cousin brother Lu Yang?"


    Lu Qi looked at the youth who walked in through the door with a face full of shock.


    She was shocked that Lu Yang had suddenly barged in and knocked down the expensive medicine, and was even more shocked that Lu Yang had acted so quickly and accurately. She never thought that she, who had obtained first place in the family assessment, would actually be ambushed by her cousin, Lu Yang, whose grades were the bottom!


    "Sister Lu Qi, I''m sorry."


    Lu Yang nodded to his big cousin, his gaze sweeping across the soup on the ground, and finally stopping at the completely red ginseng.


    "Yang Er, what are you doing?!"


    Two figures walked in, and when Lu Zhan saw the spilled soup, he could not help but shout out angrily.


    Master Chen''s face was filled with pain, "My Danshen ¡­ "This stalk of Danshen was purchased at a high price, but it''s been wasted just like that ¡­"


    As the medicinal soup was splattered on the ground, the medicinal fragrance of the Redbeard Danshen spread throughout the room. When this strange fragrance entered the nostrils of everyone present, their expressions became increasingly unsightly.


    Even Lu Zhan, who rarely got angry, had a stern look on his face.


    He still restrained himself and nodded towards Lu Qi: "Qi''er, thank you for taking care of Lian''er. You can leave first."


    Seeing that the atmosphere was bad, Lu Qi did not stay any longer, but anxiously looked at Lu Yang before she left.


    Master Chen was saddened by the waste of spirit medicine, but immediately remembered that he had already sold the Danshen, and the expression on his face became much warmer, "Brother Lu, I passed this spirit medicine completely unharmed. Although my niece did not consume the medicine, the responsibility does not lie with me, I want to take all of the original price."


    Hearing these words, Lu Zhan''s face turned even uglier, but he still maintained his composure and said: "Of course, Master Chen need not worry."


    Only then did Master Chen heave a sigh of relief, and wore a look of schadenfreude as he looked at Lu Yang.


    "Yang Er, what exactly is going on with you, don''t you know that this medicine is related to your sister''s life?!" Lu Zhan asked harshly.


    Only then did Lu Yang slowly turn around and meet Lu Zhan''s gaze. "It''s precisely because of this matter of Qing Lian''s life and death that I stopped her from consuming these Danshen pills."


    Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.


    The Master Chen was even more sarcastic, "You stopped the patient from taking the medicine to save him? "This is truly a legendary story."


    The anger on Lu Zhan''s face grew even stronger. "What nonsense are you spouting!"


    "Your son is not messing around." Lu Yang''s expression did not change, "If Qing Lian consumed the Danshen, she would have died without a doubt. In order to save Qing Lian, I had no choice but to stop her from taking the pill."


    The smile on Master Chen''s face that was originally watching the show froze, "Lu Yang, what do you mean by this? Could it be that I will poison this Qing Lian child?!"


    "What the Master Chen prescribes is naturally medicine." Lu Yang replied indifferently.


    "Since it''s medicine ¡­"


    "However, if the medicine is not right, it will eat the dead." Lu Yang interrupted the Master Chen''s words coldly.


    "Ignorant child, what do you know?" Master Chen''s face twitched slightly when he was robbed of his dignity.


    He suppressed his anger and said, "This little girl is suffering from a strange cold and heat disease. There is a wave of cold and hot air in her body at the same time. The internal conflict between the two auras caused her body to be injured." I will use these fifty years'' worth of Redbeard Danshen to open up her meridians, and allow her two auras to harmonize with each other.


    Lu Yang stared at the Master Chen, his gaze sharp: Let''s not talk about whether the unreal Qing Lian is able to handle the Spirit Element''s power, if the two powerful energies in her body clash, do you think her weak body can handle it?


    Hearing this, Master Chen was startled, but still tried to argue: "It''s just hot and cold qi, as long as it''s guided by the Spirit Element of Danshen ¡­"

 C4

    "Humph!"


    Lu Yang suddenly let out a cold snort, and his gaze that was as sharp as a blade ruthlessly swept across Master Chen: "How can the ''Earth Terminus Yin Qi'' and ''Heavenly Yang Energy'' of ''Yin and Yang Twin Birds'' be ordinary cold and hot? If you do not have the help of a spirit medicine like the ''Yuan Spirit Balanced Fruit'' or a Spirit Lord Ranker, reconciling these two auras without permission will lead to your body exploding and death! "


    The way Lu Yang said it didn''t seem like he was just randomly spouting nonsense, it made Lu Zhan feel somewhat bewildered.


    Master Chen''s face alternated between shades of green and white: "Nonsense! What ''Yin Yang Twin Body'', is simply unheard-of! "


    Lu Yang''s eyes flashed: "That''s because you''re ignorant and ill-informed. [All living things, no matter how you look at them ¡­] The physiques of humans are different to begin with. There are even some special things. Have you heard of the three great holy avatars? Have the three great evil beings heard of it? Have you heard of the Primordial Six Great Spiritual Bodies? Have you heard of the Nine Transformations? "


    Lu Yang''s words caused the Master Chen to be stunned. Just as he was about to speak, the youth had already unceremoniously stabbed him again: "I don''t even know what kind of patient''s physique is, and I don''t even know if he''s sick and yet he dares to take the medicine. It would be an honor to call you a quack doctor."


    "Arrogant child, how dare you be so rude!"


    The anger in Master Chen''s heart finally exploded at this moment.


    Crack!


    He took a step forward and a few cracks appeared on the ground. At the same time, a faint light started to surge out from his body, almost covering his entire body.


    Lu Yang, who was standing in front of Master Chen, had still not changed his expression. He swept a glance at the Spirit Element on the other party''s body. "As a Grade Two Alchemist, you''re only at the early stage of Spiritual Spring Realm. Isn''t this too disgraceful to an alchemist ¡­"


    These words also happened to touch the sore spot of the Master Chen. After becoming an alchemist, he used this title to seek benefits as well as to enjoy life. Naturally, he wasted his cultivation.


    "Brat, let me teach you how to treat your elders today!"


    With an angry shout, Master Chen''s fleshy hand also reached out explosively, grabbing towards Lu Yang with a sharp posture.


    "Master Chen, please behave yourself. This is my Lu Family!"


    Just as the Master Chen made his move, a stern shout came from the side, and following that, a figure flashed in front of the Master Chen, and blocked Lu Yang behind him.


    Bang!


    Before Master Chen''s palm could even touch the person in front of him, he was already knocked back by an invisible force, and even his fat body was forced back a few steps. When he finally managed to stabilize himself, all of the Essence in his body had already been scattered!


    "Lu Zhan... "You?"


    Standing up, Master Chen realized that the person who was blocking in front of him was Lu Zhan.


    At this time, Lu Zhan''s body was actually covered with a layer of cyan colored brilliance, vaguely forming the image of an angry lion!


    "Spiritual energy forming!?" Berserk Lion Fighting ''... It''s actually real? "


    Master Chen''s heart suddenly thumped, his eyes uncontrollably revealing a look of shock ¡ª ¡ª with his current cultivation, he definitely could not take an attack from this lion!


    Buzz ¡­


    At this time, Lu Zhan''s body trembled slightly, and the lion-shaped figure turned into light dust and disappeared.


    Lu Zhan forced himself to be calm, but his face was pale white, obviously showing that this was a struggle for him.


    "Master Chen, I respect you for being a guest of Lu Family, so I''m treating you with courtesy. Lu Zhan''s tone was stern.


    Master Chen''s face became gloomy, he was afraid of the lion so he did not dare make a move. In the end, he snorted coldly: "Good, good, Lu Zhan, you father and son sure are capable! I don''t have any rules for this little girl''s illness. If you have the ability, then solve it yourselves! "


    With that, the Master Chen left with a flick of his sleeve. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something, "Don''t forget about the red beard man''s money. I deserve it!"


    After saying these words, the Master Chen was about to walk out of his room when he was stopped by a young man shouting: "Wait!"


    Lu Yang looked at the Master Chen like lightning, and said word by word: "All these years, Qing Lian has also received a lot of ''care'' from the Master Chen, if anything were to happen to her, I, Lu Yang ¡­ I will make you pay with your blood! "


    "Humph!"


    Master Chen was so angry that his face was flushed, and he snorted coldly as he left.


    After the Master Chen left in anger and shame, only Lu Zhan and his father were left in the room.


    "Yang Er, what you have just said... Is the matter regarding Lian''er true? "


    Lu Zhan looked straight at his son, his calm eyes revealing a depth that was rarely seen.


    Lu Yang nodded with complete confidence: "Based on Qing Lian''s previous situation, it should be a ''Yin Yang Twin Body''."


    "It''s actually ''Twin Bodies'' ¡­" A strange look swept past Lu Zhan''s eyes.


    "Father knows about twins?" After all, the Master Chen from before knew nothing regarding this.


    "Yes." Lu Zhan glanced at Lu Yang, "This should be one of the nine great unique constitutions... People with this kind of physique are born with two Spirit Element s with different attributes ¡­ "


    Lu Zhan paused for a moment before continuing, "It is said that this kind of physique is extremely rare, rarely seen. However, throughout history, there have been twin bodies cultivators, and all of them were world-shaking experts!"


    Lu Yang nodded, and added: "Twin bodies is indeed one of the nine great special physiques, the rate of its appearance is extremely low ¡­ Furthermore, among the many twins with different attributes, the two Spirit Element s possessing conflicting with each other are one in a million out of ten thousand ¡­ "


    "Therefore,"''s eyes flashed with a bright light, "Qing Lian will also become a peerless expert amongst powerhouses in the future!"


    Lu Zhan''s expression changed slightly. He had once seen the domain of a truly strong warrior and knew how terrifying a true elite was. If Qing Lian could really grow to that extent ¡­


    "Maybe we can do it!"


    Lu Zhan, whose mood had unknowingly become somewhat excited, tightly clenched his fists.


    Lu Yang looked at the young girl whose face was filled with pain, and decided to take a breather.


    It seems that Qing Lian''s attack this time had endured.


    "However," Lu Zhan stared at Lu Yang suspiciously, "How do you know about all these?"


    Lu Yang smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "It''s nothing much ¡­ It''s just that he did not put in a lot of effort behind his back like Father did. "


    Lu Zhan was shocked!


    Lu Yang''s smile seemed to become even more unfathomable.


    He remembered very clearly that because of his father''s injuries, he could not use the Spirit Element since long ago.


    Just when everyone thought that Lu Zhan was already dejected and decadent, he had actually put in effort in silence behind them. That Raging Lion''s image was the best proof!


    "Good!" You truly deserve to be called my, Lu Zhan''s, son! "


    Lu Zhan could not help but laugh out loud, and did not question Lu Yang anymore.


    "However," Lu Zhan continued, "For you to go against the Master Chen today, you must be a bit reckless."


    Lu Yang was unconcerned: "That Chen An was not a swindler or swindler. He has tricked us for so many years, and we just lured him away, that''s all to him."


    As he spoke, Lu Yang turned towards the young girl who was still unconscious on the bed: "Moreover, the Yin Yang energy in Qing Lian''s body will create a situation where they clash against each other, then the quack doctor will also be held accountable. If something happens to Qing Lian this time, I will definitely not forgive him!"


    Hearing Lu Yang mention Qing Lian, Lu Zhan''s face could not help but turn serious: "Lian''er, what''s the situation right now?"

 C5

    Lu Yang muttered as he examined the body for Qing Lian. Then, he replied, "The Spirit Element in the twin bodies normally would not activate before a cultivator officially cultivates, but Qing Lian has taken some medicine that the quack doctor prescribed a few years ago. That''s why the yin and yang energy in her body activated earlier ¡­"


    "Qing Lian''s current condition isn''t too good. She is still an official cultivator and is unable to use the Spirit Element to suppress the two auras." Lu Yang glanced at Qing Lian, "However, as long as those two auras do not converge, Qing Lian''s life is temporarily in no danger."


    Lu Zhan''s face became serious: Is there any way to treat it?


    "In order to completely convert the Yin Yang Qi into the used one, one must use spiritual medicines like the Yin Yang Balanced Fruit, or have the help of experts above Spirit Lord to guide them. We do not have these conditions right now."


    Lu Yang thought for a while, then continued: "Right now, the only thing we can do is to try our best to suppress the Yin Yang Qi in her body ¡­"


    "What exactly should I do?" Lu Zhan asked again.


    "Find some medicinal ingredients that contain Yin Attribute and Yang attribute Spirit Element and refine them into a pill for Qing Lian to consume." Lu Yang had already thought of a way to deal with it.


    Lu Zhan stared at Lu Yang meaningfully: "Could it be that you have already learnt the way to refine pills?"


    Lu Yang smiled confidently, "I know a bit."


    Lu Zhan was once again stunned!


    Although Lu Yang had already given him a lot of surprises today, he never would have thought that his son had already grasped such a profound skill for refining pills!


    One had to know that alchemists had an extremely special position in the East Spirit Continent.


    Any alchemist could receive respect from any faction, and a tier two alchemist could even be treated as a guest by any faction within the Qingta City!


    "The rising tide is pushing forward the rising tide!"


    Lu Zhan only regained his senses after a long while, after which he exclaimed.


    "However," Lu Zhan was a bit worried, "Medicinal ingredients with Spirit Element s are already precious, and Spirit Element s with attributes are even rarer. If you want to find a medicine to refine pills, I''m afraid it won''t be easy either."


    Lu Yang nodded, this was indeed his biggest problem.


    Lu Zhan thought for a moment, and said: "If I remember correctly, there should be a Purple Leaf Serene Orchid at home, which your grandfather coincidentally found within the Green Python Mountain Range last year. Because it contained a Yin Attribute''s Spirit Element, even though it was only a first class spirit medicine, it could still be considered precious, so your grandfather kept it."


    Lu Yang''s eyes lit up, but he said: "Even though grandfather has the spirit medicine, this kind of precious cultivation resource will not easily be given to the younger generation of the family ¡­"


    Lu Zhan also understood this point.


    Qing Lian''s Yin Yang Twin Physique was just too inconceivable. If it wasn''t for her vast knowledge and experience, he might not have heard of it. The rest of the family might not have believed it, and even if they did, they might not have given the medicine to Lu Yang, a junior, to refine.


    "It seems like if I want to obtain the spirit medicine from your grandfather, I''ll have to go through quite a bit of trouble." Lu Zhan sighed, "The family''s cultivation resources will only be rewarded to those who contribute to the family ¡­"


    "Mm ¡­" Lu Yang was very clear about this point.


    "Alright, I''ll think of a way to deal with this." Lu Zhan waved his hand, "You have changed quite a bit this time. I don''t know how much hard work you have put in behind your back, but I can see your progress."


    Lu Zhan looked at Lu Yang with a sharp and gratified gaze: "Your entire body is filled with faint fluctuations of spirit energy, looks like you have already advanced into the The Psychic Realm, right?"


    Lu Yang laughed. A high level cultivator could easily see through a low level cultivator''s cultivation.


    Lu Zhan warned repeatedly: "According to the rules of the family, as long as you advance into the The Psychic Realm, you will be able to enter the meditation room to cultivate.


    "Got it."


    Lu Yang replied respectfully.


    Early the next morning, after Lu Yang finished his breakfast, he went to the clan''s cultivation room.


    The training room was a room made of special materials. Not only was it able to isolate people from the outside world, there were even some special mystical prints that could gather nature''s spiritual energy, allowing cultivators to train inside with half the effort.


    The setting up of these mystical prints also required quite a large amount of resources. Thus, Lu Family regulations stated that only cultivators who had advanced to The Psychic Realm could enter the quiet room to cultivate.


    "Halt!"


    Just as Lu Yang arrived at the door, he was stopped by two youths guarding the door.


    "Lu Ying, Lu Jun."


    Lu Yang instantly recognized the two people in front of him. They were the sons of his second uncle and his relationship with them was normally not very good.


    "Lu Yang, what are you doing here?" "The clan''s cultivation room is a room that only cultivators who have reached the The Psychic Realm can enter, it''s not a place that you can come to!"


    Lu Yang smiled, "I naturally know of this rule."


    "Hurry up and leave?" Lu Jun said impatiently.


    "That''s why I have to enter the training room." The smile on Lu Yang''s face did not fade.


    "Lu Yang!" Lu Jun was already a bit angry, "You''re purposely looking for fault when we''re on duty, aren''t you?"


    Lu Ying sneered, "If you want to cause trouble, you found the wrong person. Don''t forget how badly you were beaten up by me on the day of the family assessment!"


    Since Lu Yang lost to Lu Ying in the first round of the examination, it was no wonder why the latter was so arrogant towards Lu Yang.


    Helplessly shaking his head, Lu Yang said: "The present is different from the past ¡­ ¡­"


    "Humph!" Lu Jun had already completely lost his patience, "Bro, this kid is here to cause trouble. We don''t need to waste words with him. Let''s teach him a lesson and let him know his worth!"


    Lu Yang laughed bitterly: "You all want to take action?"


    Lu Ying looked at him arrogantly. "If you beg for mercy now, we can consider letting you go!"


    Lu Yang looked at the two who were still sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and shook his head speechlessly: "Forget it, you two are not my match."


    Hearing that, Lu Ying and Luo Li could not help but sneer: "Kid, you still haven''t woken up, right? How dare you, a mere defeated opponent, act so arrogantly in front of me? "


    Lu Jun echoed, "Your results in the family''s assessment are the lowest, while my brother is ranked second! is only second to cousin Lu Qi in terms of The Psychic Realm cultivators! "


    "Simply put, you still can''t defeat The Psychic Realm." Lu Yang smiled slightly.


    "You!" Lu Ying flew into a rage when he heard this.


    By the side, Lu Jun had already spoken first: "Humph! It''s more than enough to deal with you! "


    Just as Lu Jun was about to attack, Lu Yang''s voice sounded again: "If you want to fight, then attack together. There''s no need to waste time."


    These words completely enraged the two brothers. The Lu Ying duo bellowed and stepped out at the same time, attacking Lu Yang from both sides.


    Boom! *


    As if he did not care about the two of them, Lu Yang took a step forward, his body faintly flashed, and then, a wave of tyrannical wind exploded forth.


    The force of the wind sent the Lu brother and sister flying, knocking them to the ground on their butts.


    "This ¡­?"


    The two of them could not care about the pain in their buttocks, and their minds were completely blank for a moment.


    "Why would I ¡­" Lu Yang smiled at the two of them, "Didn''t I already tell you guys that you two are not my match?"


    Lu Ying and his brother''s expression froze, they couldn''t even open their mouths to refute, they could only watch as Lu Yang calmly walked past them into the cultivation room.

 C6

    After staring blankly for a long time, Lu Jun who had just gotten up from the ground regained his senses and was about to rush into the door.


    "What do you want?" Lu Ying immediately stopped him.


    "Get even with that kid!" Lu Jun was indignant.


    "Forget it." Lu Ying smiled bitterly. "We were knocked to the ground before we even touched him. How are you going to get even with him?"


    Lu Jun stared blankly for a moment, then with difficulty said, "Then we can''t just let it go like this. He broke into the cultivation room without permission. Even if this matter reaches Grandfather, we must punish him!"


    Lu Ying shook his head bitterly: "Don''t you understand? The technique he just used to knock us down was clearly using the Spirit Element ¡­ If it wasn''t for the Spirit Element, how could I have been defeated that easily? "


    "Hmm?!"


    Upon hearing this, Lu Jun''s face changed!


    Because he knew what Lu Ying said was the truth!


    And that means... Lu Yang had already stepped into the The Psychic Realm! Then of course he had the right to enter the training room!


    "How could this be ¡­" "That fellow is clearly the weakest amongst his generation ¡­" Lu Jun, who found this hard to believe, mumbled to himself.


    "The current Lu Yang... It is no longer the Lu Yang of the past. " Lu Ying heaved a long sigh.


    Lu Yang was completely unaware of the discussion between the two younger cousins, as he entered the cultivation room.


    "The spiritual energy in here is indeed much richer than outside."


    As he walked into the quiet room, Lu Yang felt a distinct surge of spirit energy rush into his face.


    Even though the Lu Family had declined a little, it was, after all, a power whose Qingta City had shocked the world once, and still possessed a decent background.


    This cultivation quiet room was made of three levels stone. Lu Yang casually walked around the ground floor and couldn''t help but look at the stairs leading to the second floor.


    "The quiet rooms on the second floor can only be used when one reaches the Spiritual Spring Realm."


    Just as Lu Yang stopped in his tracks, a charming voice came out from behind him.


    Lu Yang turned his head, and saw a young lady with a pretty face leaning on the pathway with her arms crossed, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.


    "Sister Lu Qi." Lu Yang greeted with a smile.


    "Hmph, you even know that I''m your sister." Lu Qi pretended to be angry, "Is there anyone who would sneak an attack like you?"


    Lu Yang laughed embarrassedly: "Wasn''t it an emergency at that time ¡­"


    "Cousin brother Lu Yang sure is capable now. Her strength has greatly improved after these few days of not seeing him." Lu Qi deliberately used a sour tone and said, "Just now, you also caused those two brothers, Lu Ying, to suffer, right?"


    Lu Yang did not mind and laughed: "Sister Lu Qi is here to cultivate?"


    "Mm ¡­" There''s going to be a competition in a few days. "


    As Lu Qi said this, the smile on her face disappeared by a large amount.


    "He''s hard to deal with?" Lu Yang saw through Lu Qi''s worry.


    "It''s Wu Jian from the Wu family." Lu Qi''s face became gloomy.


    Lu Yang was surprised: "Wu Jian? Didn''t he break through to the middle stage of the The Psychic Realm half a year ago? Why would I meet him? "


    Lu Qi explained, "Not long ago, my father and the others discovered a ''Pure Heart Dragon Helianthus'' within the Green Python Mountain Range. Before they could harvest it, they were discovered by the Wu Family ¡­


    "They insisted that they were the ones who discovered it first. Our families were at odds with each other, and father was also unwilling to fight with them over a Dragon Helianthus. In the end, we agreed on a method that would allow each of our families to send out a junior to determine the ownership of the Pure Heart Dragon Helianthus."


    Heart Cleansing Dragon Helianthus, a first class elixir, does not contain Spirit Element itself, but it has the unique effect of calming the mind and clearing the mind. Upon consuming it, it can increase one''s perception of Spirit Element.


    "The Heart Cleansing Dragon Helianthus isn''t of much use to cultivators, but if it''s used by someone who''s sensing spiritual energy, it can greatly shorten the time needed to advance into the The Psychic Realm ¡­"


    Lu Yang immediately understood the situation.


    The value of this Heart Cleansing Dragon Helianthus wasn''t enough to cause a conflict between the two families'' main forces, but its special effect made the two families unwilling to give it up, which was why this competition was taking place.


    "The Heart Cleansing Dragon Helianthus is mainly for my brothers and sisters to use, but I don''t have the use for it." Lu Qi said with a smile, "However, my grandfather seems to really care about this matter, he promised me that if I win the spirit medicine back, he would give my family''s'' Purple Leaf Serene Orchid ''prize to me ¡­"


    "Purple Leaf Orchid!?" Lu Yang''s eyes flashed!


    This was one of the two spirit medicines that was needed to treat Qing Lian!


    "Why?" Lu Qi saw the change in Lu Yang''s expression, "You''re also interested in this Purple Leaf Dragon Helianthus?"


    Lu Yang nodded: "Mn ¡­ "It''s kind of useful."


    "Then why don''t you come out and fight for me, since you have already advanced into the The Psychic Realm, and your strength is probably not inferior to mine?" Lu Qi stared at Lu Yang meaningfully.


    Lu Yang smiled and did not reply.


    "That''s enough. I''ll just work hard to cultivate first." Lu Qi did not continue with the previous topic, "This is the first time you have come to the training room, let me introduce you."


    Lu Qi continued to speak: "The quiet rooms have a total of three levels, and the higher the level, the higher the level of the ''Spiritual Array Gathering Mark'', and the corresponding spiritual energy concentration will be higher as well.


    "However, the usage of our Lu Family in the meditation room specifies the cultivation level to enter every floor. The first floor only requires The Psychic Realm, the second floor requires Spiritual Spring Realm, and the third floor requires Spirit Lake Realm. Currently, only Grandfather can use our Lu Family ¡­"


    Lu Qi continued to add: "Also, you can only choose one room at a time, and at the same time, there are rules governing cultivation room usage. Usually, in the early stages, you can only use one room every month for one day, in the middle stage, you can use two days, and in the late stage, you can use four days."


    Lu Yang asked curiously: "There''s even a limit to the number of days you can use it?"


    Lu Qi rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think that the Spiritual Qi in this meditation room is from the sky?"


    The spirit energy in the training room relies on the effect of the Spiritual Array Mark to gather the free spirit energy in the surroundings, but this type of gathering requires time. Normally, it would take a few days for the spirit energy in a training room to reach its maximum capacity, so you have to control the frequency of usage to make the training room work.


    It was not that Lu Yang did not understand these principles, it was just that he did not expect the cultivation room of the Lu Family to be so simple and crude.


    The quiet rooms owned by the great powers that could suppress the local powers had all been set up with high level Spiritual Array Gathering Marks, which were enough for the cultivators to use without interruption.


    "On the door of each room, there will be a Probing Spirit Stone. If the Probing Spirit Stone is shining, it means that there is sufficient spirit energy for cultivation."


    After introducing it to Lu Yang, Lu Qi said: "Alright, now that you know the usage rules of the quiet room, you can find yourself a room to start cultivating. I have to start studying hard too."


    With that, he pointed at Lu Yang, who turned and walked into a room where Spirit Stone s were shining.


    Lu Yang looked around, his gaze sweeping across the rooms, there were a few Spirit Stone on the door that were releasing different levels of light, but in the end, Lu Yang''s gaze landed on a room beside the stairs.


    The light of the Spirit Stone was the strongest on the door, and it was even brighter than the room Lu Qi had just entered.


    That''s it.


    Lu Yang did not hesitate and directly walked into the room.


    Upon entering the room, Lu Yang was immediately surrounded by the dense Spirit Element, he immediately walked to the center of the room and sat down cross legged, and started to circulate the Qi.


    Hiss ¡­


    Following the activation of the technique, a strange suction force started to spread out from Lu Yang''s body, causing the Spirit Element in the room to be drawn in, transforming into strands of smoke that converged towards Lu Yang, and finally entering his skin to temper his body.

 C7

    After quietly cultivating for two hours, the originally abundant Spirit Element s in the room had become thin. Almost all of the spirit energy in the room was absorbed by Lu Yang.


    The current Lu Yang was emitting a faint golden light from head to toe, he had actually reached the edge of breakthrough!


    "Intermediate stage The Psychic Realm!"


    Suddenly, Lu Yang''s body trembled, the strange light around him dissipated, and his cultivation had smoothly broken through to the middle stage of the The Psychic Realm.


    Lu Qi''s cultivation in the quiet room had also come to an end.


    In her heart, she was thinking about tomorrow''s competition. If she couldn''t focus her attention, her cultivation efficiency would be greatly affected.


    "Forget it, let''s rest for a while and take a look at how Lu Yang is doing."


    Thinking that it was the first time Lu Yang came to the quiet room to cultivate, as the older sister, Lu Qi couldn''t help but to be worried for her brother.


    She pushed open the door to the room and looked around the hall a bit, attempting to find the room Lu Yang had entered. This was also very easy to find, because as long as someone was consuming spirit energy in the quiet room, the roaming Spirit Stone would change.


    Therefore, Lu Qi quickly found the cultivation room used by Lu Yang. However, before she could take a closer look, she noticed that the Spirit Stone s outside had already dimmed.


    The light from the stone had completely disappeared!


    "It''s not lit up?"


    Lu Qi was suddenly startled. When the light from the Spirit Stone was extinguished, it meant that the concentration of the Spirit Element in the room had dropped to zero!


    In other words, Lu Yang had exhausted all of the Spirit Qi in the quiet room!


    The four sides of the cultivation room were lined with Spiritual Array s, the Spirit Element inside could not dissipate to the heaven and earth, it could only be absorbed by the cultivators inside.


    Although it wasn''t impossible for cultivators to completely exhaust the Spirit Element in the meditation room, Lu Qi clearly remembered that the Spirit Element in that room should be extremely full ¡­ She had especially given the most filled room in the Spirit Element to Lu Yang.


    She would probably need a whole day and night to completely attract the Spirit Element inside it.


    And how long had Lu Yang been inside? Two hours, definitely not more than two hours. Because he had only cultivated for two hours, and Lu Yang had only entered the quiet room after him!


    Less than two hours ¡­ To actually be able to completely absorb the Spirit Element in a silent room, how astonishing was this efficiency!


    Creak ¡­


    While Lu Qi was still stunned, the door to the quiet room was pushed open, and Lu Yang immediately appeared in her line of sight.


    "Cousin brother Lu Yang sure has gained a lot ¡­"


    Lu Qi did her best to restrain the shock on her face. She looked at the shining Spirit Stone s and asked with an uncertain tone, "You ¡­ Could she have absorbed all of the Spirit Element in the meditation room? "


    "Yes." Lu Yang actually did not deny it.


    Lu Qi''s mouth was agape, but the youth still said with regret: It''s a pity that the level of the s in this quiet room is too low, and there aren''t many Spirit Element s gathered, so my cultivation growth is also very limited.


    There aren''t many Spirit Element s... The amount of Spirit Element that could be absorbed in two hours did not sound like much, but it was more like the amount that could be digested after a day and a night of not sleeping!


    This was like a great stomach king who was still not satisfied after eating all the rations the others had given for a month ¡­


    Lu Qi stared at Lu Yang for a long time before regaining his senses, and said worriedly: "Absorbing Spirit Element is a good thing, but cousin brother Lu Yang has to do it according to your limits, after all, a cultivator''s body''s endurance is limited, if they absorb too much energy, it can cause harm to their own body."


    "You don''t have to worry about me on this point," Lu Yang replied calmly. "A mere quiet room''s Spirit Element, to me, is nothing at all."


    Lu Qi was stunned. Cultivators who absorbed energy beyond their limits would definitely suffer a backlash, but the Lu Yang in front of them looked as if nothing had happened to him. She didn''t seem like a person who was trying to show off.


    Could it be ¡­ Was what he said true? The Spirit Element was so huge to the The Psychic Realm cultivators, yet it was easily digested by him?


    Lu Qi looked at Lu Yang carefully for a long time, but in the end, he could not find anything abnormal, so he could only shake his head helplessly. When did it become so unfathomable? "


    Lu Yang grinned.


    After that, Lu Qi stayed in the quiet room to continue her cultivation, and Lu Yang left by herself, returning to the side yard she lived in.


    "..."


    In the morning of the second day, the Lu Family began to move. Although it was only a small competition with the Wu Family, it was still a matter of the Pure Heart Dragon Helianthus, and it was also related to the prestige of the Lu Family.


    Lu Yang had also woken up early, although this competition was not directly related to him, but his family did not prohibit the other juniors from going to watch the battle.


    "You''re up?"


    What made Lu Yang somewhat surprised was that when he walked out of the room, he discovered that Lu Zhan was already waiting for him outside.


    "Father." Lu Yang knew that for the past few years, his father had rarely appeared in public, "Do you also plan on going to watch the competition with the Wu family?"


    Lu Zhan slightly nodded his head: "I believe you already know, that if Qi''er wins this competition, your grandfather plans to reward her with Purple Leaf Serene Orchid. This matter is related to Lian''er, so I cannot ignore it."


    The father and son duo then walked towards the hall together.


    This incident was only a competition between the juniors of the two families, so Patriarch Lu Tianxiong would not personally come and watch. Instead, he was led by Master of the Lu Family, Lu Wei, and encouraged Lu Qi.


    However, Lu Zhan''s appearance caused everyone in Lu Family to be astonished. Everyone in Lu Family knew that this third master had not participated in family affairs for many years.


    Lu Tianxiong stared at Lu Zhan with a complicated expression. His lips moved, as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not.


    On the other hand, Lu Wei, who had always had a good relationship with Lu Zhan, walked over. "Ol ''Three, you ¡­ You''re also planning to go to the Goat Horn Mountain to watch the battle with us? "


    "Yes." Lu Zhan simply nodded.


    Lu Tianxiong then opened his mouth: "Are you finally willing to go out? It''s been so many years and I still can''t let go of things.


    Lu Zhan''s face darkened, and did not respond.


    Lu Tianxiong''s current mood was extremely complicated.


    Lu Zhan had once been his most proud son, and even at the peak of his Lu Family, he had been the one to bring about such an event. If not for that event, Lu Zhan would have long ago been the Patriarch of his Lu Family, and Lu Tianxiong would have long ago retired to enjoy bliss ¡­


    But when Lu Zhan got injured, he lived in seclusion. In the eyes of outsiders, he looked completely decadent, this made Lu Tianxiong feel disappointed, and stubbornly refused to pay attention to him.


    "No matter what, it''s a good thing that third brother is willing to participate in the clan''s affairs ¡­" Seeing that the atmosphere was bad, Lu Wei immediately went out to smooth things over.


    Hearing this, Lu Tianxiong''s expression became a lot more relaxed: "You are also a part of the Lu Family, although you can''t carry a heavy burden like before, but you can still share some of the family''s easier tasks."


    Lu Tianxiong spoke as calmly as he could, but Lu Yang and the others could still hear the trembling in the old man''s voice.


    Lu Zhan also understood his father''s complicated feelings towards him, so he nodded as well, "Mn."


    "Alright, it''s getting late." Lu Tianxiong waved his hand, "You guys can leave now, don''t be late, let the Wu family take this opportunity to show off."


    "Yes."


    Lu Wei acknowledged, then led the people from Lu Family to head towards the Goat Horn Mountain.

 C8

    The Goat Horn Mountain was located at the outskirts of the Green Python Mountain Range, and was only a small hill that was not very eye-catching. It was just that the appearance of the Pure Heart Dragon Helianthus caused the place to become bustling with noise and excitement.


    Lu Family and the rest used half a day to reach the Goat Horn Ridge. However, just as they ascended the mountain peak, faint creaking sounds came from all around them; it was actually the sound of a bow being pulled.


    This sudden noise caused everyone in Lu Family to be nervous, the guards immediately took up their guard, the juniors who were originally just here to watch the show started to panic.


    "Wu Shou, let''s skip the bluff!"


    As everyone was feeling nervous, Lu Wei, who was leading them with his Lu Family, finally opened his mouth and shouted out.


    "Haha ¡­"


    An uncomfortable laughter came from the top of the mountain. Following that, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man appeared from the mountain, looking down at everyone from above with a provocative gaze.


    "Look at how nervous you are. Seeing that you guys haven''t come for so long, I ''kindly'' even prepared this special welcome ceremony for you."


    Wu Shou said as he waved his hand, the trees on both sides of the road immediately revealed the figures of dozens of people with long bows drawn, the arrows were already on the bowstrings, it looked like they were waiting for an order to be issued.


    The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely tense.


    The guards took out their weapons one by one, the younger generation all had pale faces, even Lu Qi could not help but clench his fists, when have they ever seen such a scene?


    "After all, these children are still a bit lacking in character."


    Scanning the juniors for a moment, Lu Wei could not help but sigh inwardly, but just as he was about to shift his gaze away, he saw the calm and composed youth amongst the panicking crowd.


    Lu Yang acted as if he did not see these ambushes at all, and even smiled faintly, as if he did not care about anything.


    "This calmness does reflect some of his father''s shadows back then!"


    Lu Wei praised in his heart, he paid more attention to this nephew that he had never paid too much attention to.


    "Enough, Wu Shou, stop using these flowers to scare the kids!" Lu Wei shouted sternly, "If you have the guts to clash with my Lu Family, then release your arrows, or else use less of this stuff to fool people!"


    Wu Shou quickly swept a glance over the girls in the Lu Family crowd. He knew that he had achieved his goal, so with a wave of his hand, the Wu Family immediately withdrew.


    "It''s getting late. Since everyone is here, let''s begin!"


    Wu Shou looked at the youngsters beside him, and Wu Jian immediately walked forward, arriving between the two families.


    "You all have no chance of winning this competition. However, if you all want to bring shame to yourselves, I will not stop you all. Haha ¡­"


    Wu Jian walked in front of everyone on Lu Family and impolitely taunted them. With victory in their hands, the younger generation of Lu Family clenched their teeth in hatred.


    Lu Wei looked at Lu Qi with a serious expression: "Qi''er, be careful on stage.


    "Yes." Lu Qi''s confidence did not seem to be enough.


    "Sister Lu Qi," Lu Yang also walked over, "You don''t have to care too much about what they did just now. Those archers were just trying to scare us to give us psychological pressure ¡­"


    "Mm ¡­"


    Lu Qi nodded her head, although she knew that what Lu Yang said was true, the scene that she showed her still left a lingering fear in her heart.


    "Don''t worry ¡­" Lu Yang suddenly grinned, "If you lose, I''ll help you win it back on stage."


    Lu Qi was startled, and only reacted after a moment: "You, are you cursing my defeat?"


    Lu Yang smiled and did not speak.


    Seeing that Lu Yang did not deny it, Lu Qi was at a loss whether to cry or laugh.


    However, the uneasiness in his heart had been alleviated by quite a bit.


    After taking in a deep breath, Lu Qi walked forward.


    Seeing that, Lu Wei waved his hand, the people from Lu Family retreated quickly, and not long after, there was enough space for the competition, at the same time, the people from Lu Family escaped from the Wu family''s encirclement, forming a confrontation.


    "It looks like your Lu Family is really a waste of talent. The person with the highest cultivation among the younger generation is actually a girl ¡­"


    Wu Jian said with a smile, looking down on everyone.


    "Humph!"


    Lu Qi let out a cold snort. With a twist of her slender waist, she immediately flew up, and hurriedly attacked Wu Jian who was in front of her.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Facing Lu Qi''s quick attack, Wu Jian leisurely took action. The sounds of fists and palms colliding sounded one after another, and the two had already started fighting.


    The two of them were both cultivators with The Psychic Realm and could be considered to be quite outstanding among their peers within Qingta City. This battle was also very exciting for the younger generation with Lu Family.


    "Sister Lu Qi, you can do it!"


    Lu Ying and the rest were all enjoying the show. When they saw the nervousness on Lu Qi''s face, they couldn''t help but cheer for him.


    As time passed, Lu Wei''s expression became more and more unsightly.


    "The difference in strength between the two sides is too great ¡­"


    Lu Yang looked at it for a moment and came to a conclusion.


    Although on the surface it looked like the two of them were evenly matched, but in reality, when Lu Qi used her full strength, she was still able to move smoothly. He was only toying with Lu Qi.


    "Alright, enough."


    Right after Wu Jian finished speaking, a burst of light quickly wrapped around his tightly clenched fist, and immediately after, he swung out a heavy punch, smashing towards Lu Qi like falling rubble.


    Falling Rock Fist!


    Lu Qi was completely unable to respond to the tyrannical fist force, her palms intersected to block Wu Jian''s punch, and his body was immediately pushed back seven or eight steps, staggering for a bit before finally being able to stabilize his body.


    "Sigh ¡­"


    Lu Wei secretly sighed in his heart. Indeed, with Lu Qi''s strength, wanting to defeat him was still too much of a struggle.


    But just as Lu Wei was about to admit defeat, Lu Qi shouted out, waved his palms, and rushed forward.


    "You overestimate yourself!" Wu Jian laughed coldly, "Since you are unwilling to give up, then I will measure your true strength, and let you understand the gap between us!"


    With that said, Wu Jian raised his fist and once again activated Spirit Element, this time not showing any mercy.


    Earlier, when Lu Qi struck her fist into Lu Qi''s body, her breath was unstable, if she were to be hit again, it would be unavoidable for him to be injured!


    "Qi''er!"


    Lu Wei was caught off guard, and by the time he reacted, it was already too late!


    Boom! *


    Just as the people from the Lu Family were worried for Lu Qi, a figure suddenly broke into the battle, with a low voice, the figure of Wu Jian was pushed back.


    "The outcome has already been decided. Isn''t it a little too much to still want to injure someone?"


    A young man stood in front of Lu Qi and blocked him. He slowly turned around, and only then did the stunned people clearly see his face.


    "Lu Yang?!"


    Even Lu Qi, who was saved, was surprised to see Lu Yang.


    "Don''t worry," Lu Yang smiled at Lu Qi nonchalantly. "Leave it to me."


    Lu Qi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but the exhaustion in her body caused her to lose some of her strength, and it was Lu Yang who held her firm.


    After handing Lu Qi over to the two brothers who had caught up to him, Lu Yang then took two steps towards Wu Jian. Let me be your opponent! "

 C9

    The youth''s voice slowly spread throughout the Goat Horn Mountain, causing the two families to be slightly stunned.


    No one would have thought that after Lu Qi lost without any chance of retaliation, there would still be someone who dared to challenge Wu Jian.


    Even the juniors from the Lu Family believed that Lu Yang was reckless for his brazen actions.


    "What is this Lu Yang doing, actually challenging Wu Jian?"


    "That''s right, even the clan''s number one, Big Sister Lu Qi, was defeated by Wu Jian. If this bottom ranked fellow goes up, wouldn''t she be asking for trouble!"


    The members of the Lu Family younger generation discussed with Lu Yang.


    Lu Wei also frowned slightly, the opponent''s strength was indeed too strong.


    "Brat, do you think this is the Challenge Tournament?"


    Just as everyone in Lu Family were reacting differently, Wu Shou spoke out: "In today''s competition, we have already agreed on a representative from each clan, and now that Lu Qi has lost, the competition is already over, there is no need for us to continue fighting with you."


    After saying that, Wu Shou paused for a moment, then continued, "However, we are not that heartless, the Heart Cleansing Dragon Helianthus competition is already over, if you want to make a comeback, you can also take out something else, something that will satisfy us, we will not reject."


    "What do you want to bet?" Lu Yang asked indifferently.


    Wu Shou laughed slyly, "We also want a little more ¡­. Just one thousand Spirit Essence Stone! "


    A thousand Spirit Essence Stone!


    Hearing Wu Shou''s numbers, the Lu Family juniors were in an uproar, the Spirit Essence Stone s were the most useful currency among cultivators, but it was not only in currency, but also a resource that the cultivators could use to absorb the Spirit Element!


    "A thousand Spirit Essence Stone ¡­ This is enough for a middle stage Spirit Channeling cultivator to reach the late stage of the Spirit Channeling stage. "


    The people of Lu Family were speechless, this Wu Shou was obviously asking for it.


    "It''s true that the price of a Heart Cleansing Dragon Helianthus cannot reach this amount, but you should know that this elixir is extremely rare. It can be said that it is priceless ¡­" Whether or not this bet will be accepted will entirely be up to you. We don''t lose anything anyway. "


    Wu Shou looked very cunning.


    Different from the situation where many juniors of the Wu family had already advanced into the The Psychic Realm, most of the juniors of the Lu Family were still sensing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. In order to deal with the upcoming Hunt, the Lu Family really needed this Heart Cleansing Dragon Helianthus.


    It was precisely because he thought of this that Lu Wei was somewhat hesitant ¡­


    The Heart Cleansing Dragon Helianthus was undoubtedly important, but, was it really possible for Lu Yang, with the lowest Lu Family, to defeat the Wu Jian, who was ranked first in the younger generation of the Wu Family?


    "Forget it."


    After thinking about it for a while, Lu Wei finally decided to give up. After all, no matter how one looked at it, this was still a match with no chance of winning.


    "I''ll bet you two thousand Spirit Essence Stone!"


    Just as Lu Wei was about to reject, a man''s voice sounded out beside him. It was not powerful, but it was extremely clear.


    "Third Bro?"


    Lu Wei was greatly surprised to discover that the person who spoke was his third brother, Lu Zhan.


    Only then did Wu Shou''s gaze turn to the pale white middle-aged man who looked like he had been ill for a long time.


    Lu Zhan looked at Wu Shou: "If you ask for a thousand Spirit Source Stone, we will bet an additional one thousand. Do you dare to follow us, your Wu Family?"


    Hearing the provocative words, Wu Shou''s face changed.


    Even Lu Wei could not sit still any longer. "Third brother ¡­ After all, two thousand Spirit Essence Stone s is not a small number ¡­ "


    "Just a mere two thousand Spirit Element, and I, Lu Zhan, can take it out. I won''t make things difficult for my family!" Lu Zhan''s tone was weak yet determined, "Moreover, I do not think that Yang Er will lose!"


    Hearing Lu Zhan''s words, Lu Wei could not say anymore.


    Wu Shou muttered to himself as he looked at Lu Yang. Although he was unfamiliar with this youth, the Wu family had already investigated the matters regarding the Lu Family younger generation long ago. Other than Lu Qi, there should not be anyone else who needed to pay attention to him.


    The temptation of two thousand primeval stones was not small to Wu Shou, "Alright, my Wu family will follow, let''s bet one thousand more Spirit Essence Stone!"


    After the bet between the two families was completed, Wu Jian immediately laughed wantonly: "This is simply stupid to the extreme! You all still have no chance at victory in this competition, but to give up the two thousand Spirit Source Stone to me for nothing, truly is a waste ¡­ "


    Lu Yang said indifferently: "Only the losers will be the losers."


    Looking at the calm and composed Lu Yang, Lu Jian could not help but be shocked: "Could it be that this brat really has some ability?"


    But thinking about it, Lu Qi, the strongest among the Lu Family younger generation, had already lost to him easily. Wu Jian did not believe that this unremarkable fellow could be considered as an outstanding himself, to be able to defeat someone of the same age as him.


    "Next up, I''ll let you experience it for yourself ¡­" To challenge me, what a foolish action! "


    After Wu Jian finished speaking, he suddenly dashed forward, and at the same time, raised his fist that was releasing a strange glow, and ruthlessly smashed towards Lu Yang.


    "It''s Falling Rock Fist!"


    The younger generation of Lu Family all recognized the Psionic Skills that Wu Jian was using and immediately cried out in alarm. A moment ago, Lu Qi was defeated by this move!


    In everyone''s eyes, in the next moment, Lu Yang would be sent flying, and even fall to the ground ¡­


    The juniors of the Lu Family could no longer bear to continue watching, while the people of the Wu Family could not help but want to laugh out loud.


    Boom! *


    A heavy sound came from the top of the mountain.


    However, one of the figures that the crowd expected to be knocked away didn''t appear right away.


    Lu Yang also threw out a punch, and actually blocked Wu Jian''s attack. The two fists collided in the air, and entered into a stalemate.


    "It actually ¡­" and he accepted it?! "


    All the cultivators present fell into a state of shock. The appearance of this scene was far beyond their expectations!


    As for Lu Zhan and the other cultivators with rich experience, they were more sensitive to the fact that although this time''s battle seemed to be of equal strength, Wu Jian had used the Psionic Skills ¡­


    "My Falling Rock Fist ¡­" It was actually blocked? "


    Wu Jian, who was the involved party, also had a face full of shock.


    "It''s only taking down a mere Psionic Skills, no need to be so surprised."


    Lu Yang said calmly. Then, with a shake of his arm, the Spirit Element in his body immediately rushed out, dispersing the spirit light that covered Wu Jian''s fist.


    "Middle stage of the The Psychic Realm!"


    Feeling the huge power from Lu Yang''s hands, Wu Jian finally understood the cultivation level of his opponent.


    Unfortunately, it was already too late ¡­


    Wu Jian and Lu Yang''s fists clashed against each other and were blown away, while the latter took half a step forward, and all of the ferocious force was pushed out onto Wu Jian''s body.


    Bang!


    At this moment, the scene everyone had anticipated finally appeared ¡­


    A figure shot out like a sandbag, drawing a parabola in the air before fiercely falling to the ground and falling unconscious.


    At this moment, everyone quieted down.


    Everyone looked at Wu Jian who was unconscious on the ground with their mouths agape. They couldn''t even think straight for a moment ¡­


    Wasn''t this change a bit too shocking?


    Just a moment ago, almost everyone was certain that Lu Yang would lose, and now, Wu Jian, who everyone thought would win without a doubt, was actually beaten down?


    Not only was it the juniors, even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Lu Wei had his eyes opened wide at this moment.


    With just one attack, he was able to defeat Wu Jian who was using the Psionic Skills.

 C10

    The silence on the mountaintop lasted for a long time.


    "Cough ¡­"


    Lu Wei let out a light cough, and finally let out a hearty laugh. Looks like this competition is over, Wu Shou, your Wu family is defeated! "


    Wu Shou''s face immediately darkened.


    He had originally thought that there would be no suspense in this match, but who would have thought that he would lose so miserably today ¡­


    "Bring the Young Master back."


    Wu Shou ordered with a gloomy face, the two guards immediately went forward to help the unconscious Wu Jian back.


    "Let''s go!"


    Wu Shou then waved his hand, and was about to leave with the Wu Family.


    "Wait."


    Just as Wu Shou was about to turn around, a male voice suddenly called out to him.


    "Since victory and defeat have already been decided, then I will have to trouble you to finish the wager." Lu Yang''s smile was extremely brilliant.


    Wu Shou''s face twitched, but he still raised his hand with an ashen face.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    Urgent sounds of wind breaking suddenly rang out. Something flew out from Wu Shou''s hand, and shot towards Lu Yang in an extremely violent manner.


    Crack.


    Lu Yang stretched out his hand and grabbed, immediately catching the object that was shooting towards him. It was actually a Cosmic Bag, with a thousand Spirit Essence Stone inside.


    Just as Lu Yang was grabbing onto the Cosmic Bag, a huge force exploded out of it.


    "Brat, my thousand Spirit Essence Stone are not so easy to obtain!"


    Wu Shou laughed sinisterly, he had injected a strong wave of Spirit Element into the Cosmic Bag, which was enough to break the meridians in a The Psychic Realm cultivator''s arm.


    Wu Shou''s actions could be said to be vicious, and actually wanted to cripple Lu Yang''s hand!


    Wu Shou could already imagine Lu Yang''s arm being drenched in blood from the explosion, he was looking at Lu Yang, wanting to see this exciting scene with his own eyes.


    However ¡ª


    Lu Yang''s arm shook violently, a powerful burst of light burst out from his tightly clenched fist, but the scene of Wu Shou expecting blood to spurt did not happen.


    It would be better to say that nothing happened!


    Lu Yang''s arm was actually still in perfect condition, while the Cosmic Bag was still in his hand.


    Wu Shou was already completely dumbfounded!


    There was not the slightest bit of mercy in his actions, yet such a powerful force was unexpectedly unable to cause the slightest bit of harm to Lu Yang ¡­


    Lu Yang pursed his lips into a smile as if he were an unharmed person, "I really have to thank Old Master Wu for this thousand Spirit Essence Stone."


    Wu Shou''s face instantly turned ashen, he glared fiercely at Lu Yang, and in the end, snorted coldly and brought the Wu family''s people to quickly leave.


    "Lu Yang!"


    At this time, the younger generation of Lu Family also surrounded Lu Yang, and the way in which everyone looked at Lu Yang was now completely different from before.


    All of them looked excited, and in their eyes, there were even some that bowed.


    "Cousin brother Lu Yang sure has hidden his strength well."


    Lu Qi also walked in front of Lu Yang.


    Lu Yang was still as indifferent as before. "I already said, leave the rest to me ¡­"


    "Hmph," Lu Qi said as she raised her chin, "You''ve grown up."


    Lu Wei and Lu Zhan also walked over.


    Lu Wei smiled brightly: "As expected of the son of the third brother, he is truly amazing!"


    Lu Zhan did not display much on the surface, but his eyes revealed a look of satisfaction, "Well done."


    Lu Yang knew that his father never expressed much of his feelings, and only replied with a smile.


    Then, Lu Wei ordered his men to carefully collect the Pure Heart Dragon Helianthus, causing Lu Family and the rest to leave the Goat Horn Mountain and begin their journey back.


    And most likely, the focus of their discussion was Lu Yang as well. The current Lu Yang was far too different from how he was in the past, and today''s battle had brought them far too much shock.


    Lu Yang acted as if everything was normal, with a lazy smile on his face, as if he did not care about how he had become the center of attention.


    After returning to the Lu Family, Lu Wei brought the Pure Heart Dragon Helianthus with him to report to Lu Tianxiong, while Lu Zhan and his son returned to the side courtyard where they lived.


    Lu Zhan exhorted Lu Yang before leaving by himself.


    It was very hard to find someone in Lu Zhan''s house, and he would often disappear as if something happened. In the past, Lu Yang did not notice it, but now that he thought about it, it was probably because Lu Zhan used this time to work hard ¡­


    "Lu Yang!"


    Just as Lu Yang was deep in thought, a petite figure suddenly appeared in front of him.


    Her eyebrows were curved like the moon, and she was elegant and refined. Her light green skirt swayed gently in the breeze, like a blooming green lotus in the world, devoid of any worldly charm.


    "Little Sister Qing Lian."


    Seeing that she was his most beloved sister, Lu Yang couldn''t help but smile.


    He corrected again: "How many times have I said you had to call me Big Brother Lu Yang?"


    Qing Lian curled her lips in disapproval: "No, I''m not his biological father anyways."


    Lu Yang could only smile bitterly, he could not do anything to this adopted sister.


    "I heard that you guys went to the Goat Horn Ridge today?" A look of anger surfaced on Qing Lian''s small face, "Why didn''t you bring me along!?"


    "What are you bringing me for?" Lu Yang asked.


    "Then what are you going to do?" Qing Lian asked again.


    Lu Yang answered truthfully: "I''m going to compete ah ¡­"


    Qing Lian said righteously: "Then I''ll go watch your duel!"


    "¡­"


    Lu Yang was speechless, towards this little sister who had been attached to him since he was young, feeling very helpless.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    Just as Lu Yang wanted to let Qing Lian go back and rest, he suddenly heard the girl moaning in pain.


    He then watched worriedly as Qing Lian''s beautiful face suddenly turned pale white. Streams of white Qi, which could be seen with the naked eye, seeped out from her body, causing the air around her to become cold and gloomy.


    The white smoke was actually cold air!


    "Earth Terminus Yin Qi flows out from my body ¡­" The situation has deteriorated to this extent! "


    Sensing the cold energy around Qing Lian, the indifferent Lu Yang''s face suddenly changed.


    The pain in her body quickly appeared on the young girl''s face. Her petite body began to tremble, but she clenched her teeth and did not make the slightest sound.


    However, her consciousness still uncontrollably passed out.


    "Sister Qing Lian''s strange illness has started acting up again?"


    At this time, Lu Qi''s anxious voice came from behind.


    "Mm ¡­"


    Lu Yang vaguely replied as he racked his brains for a way to deal with it.


    "I''ll go call the Master Chen!" Lu Qi anxiously said.


    "Don''t go," Lu Yang stopped her, "Sister Qing Lian''s condition has worsened, and it''s all thanks to that quack doctor."


    "Then what should we do?" Lu Qi looked at Qing Lian who was being tortured painfully.


    "To find Grandfather, I need to use the ''Seven Leaf Orchid'' to treat Qing Lian." This was the only thing that Lu Yang could think of.


    "Seven Leaf Orchid?" Lu Qi opened the Wood Box in her hand, "You mean this?"


    Lu Yang swept his eyes over the item inside the box. It was an orchid, with seven leaves that emitted a light green luster, and also some spirit energy fluctuations.


    "That''s it!"


    After confirming that the object in Lu Qi''s hand was the Seven Leaf Orchid, Lu Yang was instantly overjoyed!


    "My dad told grandpa about what happened at Goat Horn Mountain. After grandpa found out that you won the Heart Cleansing Dragon Helianthus, he decided to give you the Seven Leaf Orchid as a reward. I came here this time to bring this thing over ¡­"


    Lu Qi explained her reason for coming here, but then looked at Lu Yang with suspicion. "However, can this Seven Leaf Orchid cure Little Sister Qing Lian''s strange illness?"


    "Yes!"


    Lu Yang answered with absolute certainty.

 C11

    After Lu Yang found out that Lu Qi had brought Seven Leaf Orchids, he carried Qing Lian into his room and put her on the bed.


    Lu Qi worriedly followed. Seeing the girl who was suffering greatly, Lu Qi still couldn''t believe it and asked, "Can this Seven Leaf Orchid really cure Qing Lian''s strange disease?"


    "She can''t be treated," Lu Yang answered concisely, "Because Qing Lian wasn''t sick at all, the only thing this spirit medicine can do is to ease her current symptoms."


    Lu Qi frowned: "Although I do not understand medicine, but I also understand the principle of yin and yang. Qing Lian''s current cold illness is acting up, and these Seven Leaf Orchids are acting up, isn''t that just adding frost to the snow? "


    "No ¡­" Qing Lian''s current situation is with external cold and internal heat. The cold aura exiting her body, on the other hand, does not have much of an impact on her. The true cause to her is the Heavenly Yang Energy in her body. "


    Lu Yang explained the situation.


    "You ¡­ "Are you sure?" In the end, Lu Qi was still unable to completely relax.


    "Yes." Lu Yang nodded resolutely, "Don''t worry, Qing Lian is my sister. I won''t do anything that will harm her."


    Hearing Lu Yang''s words, Lu Qi did not say anything.


    Lu Yang took out the Seven Leaf Orchid from the Wood Box, circulated his spirit energy, and wrapped the spirit medicine in a layer of faint light.


    This step may seem simple, but to The Psychic Realm cultivators who had just been able to utilize the Spirit Element, it was an extremely strenuous task.


    Lu Qi who was watching from the sidelines thought that she did not have the ability to do such a thing.


    Lu Yang''s control over the Spirit Element had already reached an extremely fast pace. This scene caused Lu Qi to be unable to help but stare blankly.


    What surprised her even more was what happened afterwards.


    Lu Yang''s five fingers clenched slightly, and the Spirit Element ignited in his palm suddenly froze, causing sparks to appear on the Seven Leaf Quiet Leaf.


    Then, the sparks extended, nibbling at the spirit stalks until they burnt all the spirit stalks to death. At the same time, the water vapor that was left behind also gathered in the center of Lu Yang''s palm.


    After a while, the Seven Leaf Orchid completely burnt up and a dark green water droplet the size of a dragon eye appeared in the center of Lu Yang''s palm.


    Lu Qi had never seen such a profound display, her eyes opened wide as she stared at the jade colored water droplets: "What is this?"


    "This is the Seven Leaf Orchid''s medicinal properties. I''ve burned away the excess material, so this is what I''ve refined." Lu Yang replied casually.


    Lu Qi''s eyes seemed to have widened again as she said, "Purification of the medicine ¡­ Isn''t that something only alchemists can do? "


    Lu Yang did not mind: "Who said it required an alchemist to purify the medicine? As long as one knows a bit about medicine and has a basic grasp of Spirit Element, even normal cultivators can do it easily. "


    Easily done?


    Lu Qi suspected that she had heard wrongly. This was not something that could be done "easily"!


    One had to know that the purification of medicine was something that every alchemist had to learn. It required the practitioner to have an extremely high understanding of medicinal herbs and an extremely strict control of the Spirit Element to be able to refine them.


    The requirements of these two conditions were extremely high, and it was far from what Lu Yang said, "as long as you understand some medicinal knowledge" and "basic mastery", being able to accomplish this!


    To the best of Lu Qi''s knowledge, a majority of the disciples were still unable to purify the ingredients with their bare hands, they would need Pill Furnace s or other similar items to purify the ingredients ¡­


    As for Lu Yang... It was actually done so easily!?


    At this time, Lu Yang spoke with regret: "It''s a pity that my cultivation is too low now. The Spirit Element is still unable to form the Spiritual Inflammation, if not the purification would be much easier."


    Lu Qi unknowingly opened his mouth wide. This was a big problem for the pill disciples to purify their pills, how did it become something that was not even worth mentioning in Lu Yang''s mouth?


    Lu Yang did not pay attention to the stunned Lu Qi. He helped Qing Lian up from the bed and a burst of cold energy came surging towards him from the girl''s body.


    The shocking coldness caused a layer of frost to quickly form on the surface of Lu Yang''s body.


    Lu Qi was shocked: The Earth Terminus Cold Qi is so strong, it is actually at such a shocking stage!


    Hiss ¡­


    The attacking cold energy also caused some ice shards to condense in Lu Yang''s hair.


    As Lu Qi looked at the teenager who looked like he had fallen into an ice cellar, he unconsciously felt a cold sensation.


    In his eyes, there was nothing more important than Qing Lian!


    As Lu Qi was sighing inwardly, Lu Yang placed his hand on Qing Lian''s back and released some power from her palm. The girl''s lips slightly parted and Lu Yang took the opportunity to put the condensed jade pearl into Qing Lian''s mouth.


    Then, Lu Yang helped her to push open the blood flow so that the medicinal power would be spread throughout Qing Lian''s body.


    Just as Lu Qi was about to ask, she sensed that the cold energy radiating from Qing Lian''s body was already weakening at a speed that could be sensed!


    "It worked!"


    Lu Qi cried out in surprise. She did not expect that this illness, which even the Rank 2 alchemists were helpless against, was solved by Lu Yang just like that!


    Not long after, the coldness around Qing Lian completely dissipated.


    Just as Lu Qi was feeling astonished because of this, the originally unconscious Qing Lian let out a moan.


    As her eyes slowly opened, Qing Lian quickly realized what was going on in her body. Surprised, she immediately said, "My strange illness ¡­ Is it over? "


    "Yes."


    Lu Yang replied softly, his voice was filled with an unspeakable exhaustion. It seems that the previous round of using it had consumed a lot of energy for him.


    "Lu Yang, thank you ¡­"


    Although Qing Lian did not know what had just happened, she could still deduce from Lu Yang''s situation that he must have expended his mental energy to do something.


    "Although your Yin Yang energy has been temporarily suppressed, your body is still injured. Have a good rest first."


    Lu Yang helped Qing Lian to lie down once again.


    "Mm ¡­"


    Qing Lian did not want Lu Yang to worry, so she nodded and obediently went to sleep.


    Lu Qi also warned Qing Lian once more, before leaving together with him.


    "You ¡­ They are very good to Qing Lian. "


    Walking out of the room, Lu Qi suddenly asked.


    Lu Yang said matter-of-factly: "Of course, she is my younger sister."


    "Sister?"


    Lu Qi gazed into the distance, as if she had thought of something from a long time ago, "Qing Lian ¡­ It was probably when Second Uncle brought her back fourteen years ago. It is said that when Second Uncle saw her by the stream, she was still an infant and was wrapped up in a huge green lotus in water. Therefore, Second Uncle named her ''Qing Lian''. "


    Lu Yang smiled bitterly and nodded: "That''s right. "To tell you the truth, when this girl grew up, she also had the memories of a child. That''s why even after she came home, she never called me ''big brother''."


    "After all, he isn''t his biological son ¡­" Lu Qi looked at Lu Yang meaningfully.


    "Hmm?"


    Lu Yang was startled, as though he did not understand what Lu Qi meant.


    Lu Qi only smiled and did not continue.

 C12

    After sending Lu Qi out of the side courtyard, Lu Yang returned to her own room.


    He took out a Cosmic Bag. Inside was the thousand Spirit Essence Stone he had won from Wu Shou.


    Spirit Essence Stone were ores that contained Spirit Element s. Because they could be directly absorbed, they were extremely important cultivation resources to cultivators.


    It was also because of this that Spirit Essence Stone became the currency for cultivators.


    Lu Yang then took out the thousand Spirit Essence Stone.


    He first held the two Spirit Essence Stone in his hands, then circulated his Spirit Qi, causing a suction force to emanate from the center of his palm.


    Traces of strange energy were then pulled out of the Spirit Essence Stone and absorbed into Lu Yang''s palm, before finally flowing through his meridians and spreading throughout his bones and limbs ¡­


    At the same time, the stone that the Spirit Element used up turned into dust and dissipated.


    This kind of cultivation lasted for less than an hour. When Lu Yang absorbed the energy from the eight hundred Source Spirits into his body, he finally stopped moving.


    The eyes that were originally shut suddenly opened as a golden light flashed across them.


    Late stage The Psychic Realm, breakthrough!


    Using eight hundred Spirit Essence Stone as a price to achieve a breakthrough was considered to be a good result, but Lu Yang was still not satisfied.


    "My body''s strength hasn''t increased enough ¡­" Looks like I still need to use some spirit medicine. "


    Lu Yang had to train both the inner and outer parts of the Vajra Devil Scripture he cultivated, as long as it attracted the pure Spirit Element. But the refinement of the body by the ordinary Spirit Element seemed to be somewhat inefficient, as it generally required medicinal herbs with special effects.


    Thinking about it here, Lu Yang took a glance at the remaining two hundred Spirit Essence Stone s beside him and decided to make a trip out tomorrow.


    "..."


    The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window and onto the youth cultivating on the bed. His eyelids twitched and then he stopped his morning lessons, slowly opening his eyes.


    "Lu Yang."


    A light and delicate voice that was as sweet as an oriole came from outside the door, Lu Yang could not help but smile.


    He pushed open the door and saw a young girl dressed in light green standing outside. She was smiling, a smile gentler than the morning sun, and her eyes were as clear as a spring in a deep valley.


    Qing Lian was only fourteen years old, which was exactly the so called young age of the beancurd. Her body seemed to possess an elegant and refined temperament, which made this young girl seem as if she was living in a muddy world without being tainted by mud.


    "This little girl ¡­"


    Lu Yang shook his head helplessly.


    If it weren''t for the fact that beauties were a disaster, Qing Lian rarely went out of the door. She had only revealed herself to Lu Qi twice, and there were already many admirers within the Qingta City.


    "You came to find me so early. What''s the matter?" Lu Yang casually asked.


    "Did you forget? You promised to take me out to play when I got better. "


    Qing Lian smiled faintly, the corners of her mouth forming two exquisite dimples, her smile like flowers blooming in the wind, Shan Shan''s Cute.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    Lu Yang thought for a bit, this was probably what he had said to comfort Qing Lian when her yin and yang energy flared up.


    However, he happened to plan to go out today, so he nodded at Qing Lian: "Then let''s go. I''ll bring you out for a good day."


    "Really?" Qing Lian''s watery eyes were filled with anticipation.


    "Of course it''s true. When have I ever lied to you?" Lu Yang replied with a smile.


    "Great!" Qing Lian was beaming with joy.


    Lu Yang cleaned himself up quickly and then led Qing Lian out of the side yard.


    When they passed by the courtyard, they met Lu Ying and the others. These youths all stared blankly at Qing Lian who rarely appeared in front of people.


    Seeing Lu Yang talking and laughing with Qing Lian, everyone could not help but feel envious and jealous.


    If it was in the past, these untactful people would come and find trouble with Lu Yang. However, as the news of the Goat Horn Mountain spread around the family, everyone''s attitude towards Lu Yang changed without exception.


    Stepping out of the house, Lu Yang led Qing Lian to stroll on the main street.


    On the other hand, Qing Lian''s interest was high. She was very curious about everything and wandered around in front of various stalls, but she was sensible enough to not ask to buy anything.


    However, it was inevitable that Qing Lian''s appearance would attract a lot of attention. Fortunately, although this young girl did not go out much throughout the year, she was well-known to all. Everyone knew that she was the adopted daughter of Lu Family, so most of the apprentices did not dare to recklessly harass her.


    Waiting until Qing Lian was a little tired from playing, Lu Yang finally brought her to circle around the streets, and in the end, they entered a dark alley.


    The alley was very narrow, and there were many hawkers lining up on both sides. Most of them were wearing bamboo hats that concealed their faces, which made them seem rather strange under the shadow of the sun that couldn''t reach them.


    "Lu Yang, what is this place?"


    The gloomy atmosphere made Qing Lian a little nervous. She stood beside Lu Yang and grabbed his sleeves as she asked.


    "Underground Market." Lu Yang''s tone did not sound unfamiliar with this place, "In every city, there are some goods that are sold for various reasons that are not convenient to appear in the sunlight, and this is precisely the place where these kinds of underground trades are conducted."


    Qing Lian nodded as if she understood something.


    Within the Underground Market, it was true that there were a lot of goods that came from unorthodox backgrounds, but there were also some rather unique items. The seller would probably get into trouble and they would sell them here as well.


    But no matter what kind of situation it was, the products of Underground Market all had one common characteristic: they were cheap.


    At the very least, it would sell for a bit less than the regular market price.


    But correspondingly, the fish and dragons were mixed here, the products were genuine and unjustifiable, and the people here were of high standards, it could be said to be a region that didn''t care about the people in the Qingta City.


    After walking into the Underground Market, Qing Lian did not fail to attract the attention of the crowd.


    In this dark underground world, the girl''s elegant figure seemed even more otherworldly.


    At first, Qing Lian was still following closely by Lu Yang''s side, but after walking for a while, the girl''s curiosity finally overcame her worry and she began to feel the various items that filled her vision.


    Lu Yang''s gaze busily swept the place, looking for the spirit medicine he wanted.


    "Hmm?"


    Suddenly, his gaze froze. What appeared in his line of sight was a bizarre looking head. To be more precise, it was a fruit that looked like a stone.


    "Good eye!"


    When Lu Yang stared at the Heterocarp, the stall owner who had extremely sharp eyes immediately opened them: "This Spirit Fruit is called ''Barbarian Stone Fruit'', it is a first grade spirit medicine, and it contains a large amount of Spirit Element, which is suitable for cultivation and absorption, and it has the effect of tempering the body, and can even be used to assist with the cultivation of the body and soul ¡­ Only selling them for three hundred Spirit Essence Stone, it is definitely worth it! "


    The vendor was trying his best to recommend his wares. His eyes that were filled with smiles beneath the bamboo hat looked at Lu Yang, who was clearly a fat sheep that was waiting to be slaughtered.


    Lu Yang grinned: "The Barbarian Stone Fruit is indeed a first grade spirit medicine, but the Spirit Element contained within is not more than fifty Spirit Essence Stone, and its mix is not pure, saying that it''s suitable for cultivation, isn''t that too laughable?"


    The smile on the vendor''s face stiffened.

 C13

    Hearing that his lie had been seen through, the stall owner''s expression could not help but change. Fortunately, he was wearing a bamboo hat so he didn''t have to worry about others noticing him.


    "Haha ¡­"


    The stall owner laughed dryly and continued to speak: "There aren''t that many Spirit Element in this Barbarian Stone Fruit, but its body tempering effect is genuine ¡­ I think there''s fate between you and the customer. If the customer wants it, you only need two hundred Spirit Essence Stone. "


    Lu Yang remained unmoved: "It is true that the medicinal power of the Barbarian Stone Fruit can be used to refine one''s body, but this kind of Spirit Fruit is as hard as stone and impossible to consume. If one wants to use the medicinal power within, one must refine the medicinal power out ¡­


    "However, this kind of Spirit Fruit is quite difficult to refine. If you ask an alchemist to purify it, the cost would be around five hundred Spirit Essence Stone. This number has already far surpassed the value of the Spirit Fruit."


    It was obvious that he did not expect this seemingly inexperienced young man in front of him to have such an understanding of this rarely seen Barbarian Stone Fruit. He could only smile and say: "Looks like this customer is an expert, then I won''t say anything more. If you want it, then just give me a price."


    "One hundred Spirit Essence Stone." Lu Yang stated his price that he had already thought of a long time ago.


    "Hai."


    The stall owner let out a helpless sigh. The other party''s offer was extremely reasonable, not even giving him the slightest bit of extra profit.


    "Alright, let''s just treat today''s first transaction as a discount." The stall owner did not continue to bargain.


    Lu Yang smiled, casually threw out the 100 Spirit Essence Stone s'' small cloth bag, and then placed the stone fruit into the Cosmic Bag s.


    It was only then that Lu Yang realised that Qing Lian was not by his side, and after looking around, he quickly noticed the small petite green figure.


    At this moment, Qing Lian stopped in front of a vendor and extended her snow white jade wrist. She picked up a silver colored pendant from the stall and started playing with it.


    The design of the pendant was elegant, but the material it was made from was strange. It was decorated with some rare ores which shone faintly in the shadows. It could be considered a special kind of jewelry.


    Qing Lian loved this piece of jewelry so much that she couldn''t let go. She played with it for a long time, but when she heard the price of the 400 Spirit Essence Stone s, although she was reluctant to part with it, she still put it back.


    To the young masters and young misses of the Lu Family, four hundred Spirit Essence Stone s was not a small number.


    Just as Qing Lian was about to turn around and leave, a clear laugh was suddenly heard from behind her.


    "Isn''t this Qing Lian? Hehe ¡­ We haven''t seen each other for half a year, I never thought that we would meet here.


    Qing Lian looked over to the source of the voice and saw a group of people walking towards her with extremely high profile. The person in the lead was a richly dressed youth.


    The youth was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance could be considered handsome. However, the carefree smile on his face was very frivolous. His eyes were locked onto the young girl''s body with undisguised passion.


    This was obviously one of Qing Lian''s admirers.


    However, Qing Lian disliked him, her eyebrows knitted lightly, and she turned to leave.


    "Qing Lian!"


    Seeing that the girl was about to leave, the youth immediately became anxious and quickly waved his hand.


    A few of her followers immediately ran forward and blocked Qing Lian''s path of retreat, surrounding her within.


    It was like a pack of wolves surrounding a small white rabbit.


    With her path blocked, Qing Lian looked anxious, her eyes were searching her surroundings, trying to find Lu Yang.


    It was a pity that the human wall had completely blocked her vision, causing her search to be unable to come up with any results.


    "Qing Lian..."


    The well-dressed youth walked up to the young girl, his eyes burning with fire as he gazed at the seductive figure.


    "It''s the second young master from Wang Family ¡­"


    At this moment, many onlookers also recognized the origin of the youth.


    The Second Young Master of the Wang Family, Wang Xuan, was quite famous amongst the Qingta City''s younger generation. Breaking through to the late stage of the The Psychic Realm at the age of eighteen, if not because of lust, it shouldn''t even be a problem for him to advance into the Spirit Lake Realm in a few years.


    "Young Master Wang Xuan, if there''s nothing else, please move out of the way."


    Qing Lian''s face showed some panic, but she maintained her composure.


    "Haha ¡­" The smile on Wang Xuan''s face became frivolous, "Qing Lian, we rarely meet. Since we''ve met, how about we go for a walk together?"


    Qing Lian looked displeased. "Sorry, I''m not interested."


    Wang Xuan''s family background was extraordinary, coupled with his own abilities, he was extremely popular within the Qingta City, how could he have been rejected so easily?


    His face darkened slightly but he still maintained his smile. "Heh heh ¡­" It''s been a long time since we''ve met. Why do you have to reject me? "


    As he spoke, Wang Xuan reached out with his palm, wanting to grab the weak girl.


    Qing Lian actually wanted to dodge, but Wang Xuan''s attacks were extremely fast, and he had a subordinate blocking her behind her.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    At this moment, the sound of rushing wind suddenly sounded out.


    Sensing that there was a hidden weapon coming at him, Wang Xuan''s palm paused, and then he suddenly changed direction and headed towards the direction of the hidden weapon.


    Bang.


    Wang Xuan had already caught the object in his hand. When he opened his fingers to take a look, he realized that the object was actually a common rock by the side of the road.


    As for the palm he used to receive the rock, it had already faintly become numb from the recoil.


    "What a powerful strength!"


    Wang Xuan was secretly shocked in his heart, and his expression immediately darkened.


    A youth walked out from the crowd. "Since Qing Lian is unwilling to leave with you, why force others to do what you have to do?"


    "Lu Yang!"


    Seeing the person, Qing Lian was ecstatic and quickly walked over.


    "Don''t be afraid, I''m here."


    Lu Yang lightly patted the girl''s head, protecting her behind him.


    Seeing how intimate Lu Yang and Qing Lian were, Wang Xuan was suddenly furious: "Kid, were you the one who ambushed me just now?"


    "It''s just a small stone. It can''t be called a trap." Lu Yang said sincerely, "Believe me, if I really were to plot against you, you would no longer have the chance to stand here and speak."


    Lu Yang acted as if he was being serious, as though what he said was not a lie, which made Wang Xuan even more furious.


    "Attack! Show that reckless brat some color!"


    With Wang Xuan''s order, his followers immediately rushed forward, attacking Lu Yang from all directions.


    Lu Yang shook his head helplessly and waved his hand.


    Hu hu!


    With the activation of the Spirit Element, an extremely strong gust of wind immediately swept out, causing the people rushing over from all directions to fall towards the sky from all directions due to the shock.


    No, not everyone, but there was an exception.


    "Kid, eat my fist!"


    Wang Xuan shouted as he came to Lu Yang''s side, that fist that was filled with spirit energy had already closed in on Lu Yang''s chest.


    It turned out that when he had shouted for everyone to attack, he had also snuck into the crowd in order to give Lu Yang a surprise attack!


    This punch was only a foot away from Lu Yang''s chest, he could no longer block it, and had nowhere to run!

 C14

    Wang Xuan had already predicted that this attack would definitely hit its target, and then that defenseless guy would be beaten until he was on the ground, unable to get off the bed for at least ten to fifteen days ¡­


    Without this troublesome person, the delicate girl would not be able to escape from his grasp.


    Thinking about it, Wang Xuan couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    But before he could smile, he couldn''t.


    Bang!


    This punch landed on Lu Yang''s body, but Wang Xuan only imagined the youth being sent flying.


    His fist landed heavily on the stone wall ¡­


    The stone wall remained motionless, but his arm received a tremendous rebound!


    "What''s going on?"


    Wang Xuan racked his brains but still couldn''t figure out what was going on.


    He raised his head, and saw Lu Yang smiling at him, but the smile in his eyes, was not very friendly.


    "You ¡­ I''ve offended the wrong person. "


    Lu Yang said softly. His body suddenly shook and a huge force exploded, causing the shocked Wang Xuan to fly backwards. Finally, he crashed into a stone wall and passed out when he fell onto the ground.


    As for the arm he used on Lu Yang, it was even softer as it powerlessly fell to the ground.


    When some sharp-eyed spectators saw this scene, their hearts could not help but jump: "Wang Xuan''s hand ¡­. It has been cut off! "


    What a decisive method!


    Seeing Lu Yang make his move, the eyes of the spectators flickered: "This unknown Young Master Lu Family, is a ruthless man."


    Other people with sharp eyes noticed more information: To be able to withstand a heavy punch from Wang Xuan so easily, the strength of this youth''s body must be extraordinary!


    After taking care of Wang Xuan, Lu Yang pulled on Qing Lian''s small hand and was about to leave as if he was a person who was fine.


    Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped.


    "Wounded my Wang Family people, and they want to leave so easily? Do you really think that my Wang Family can be easily bullied!? "


    Accompanied by a loud shout, an extremely strong pressure pounced towards Lu Yang like a fierce tiger.


    This extraordinary power finally made Lu Yang move. He quickly punched out to meet it.


    Boom! *


    The two fists collided and an invisible wave of air spread out. The dust on the ground was also blown away.


    Thump ¡­


    This time, Lu Yang''s attack was also not as relaxed as before, and his feet moved back half a step.


    Seeing that he did not succeed in his attack, the man with the ferocious momentum borrowed the force of the impact to retreat quickly, opening up a distance between him and Lu Yang.


    "He actually blocked it ¡­"


    At this time, a surprised cry came from the surrounding crowd, as though no one had expected Lu Yang to be able to block that person''s punch.


    Lu Yang''s gaze turned towards the attacker, only to see a tall and straight youth with an arrogant expression, looking down on everyone.


    In fact, he did indeed have the qualifications to be so arrogant ¡­


    "Young Master Wang Family, Wang Yu."


    This was also the first time Lu Yang recognized this person, but his expression did not change much.


    However, he finally understood the reason behind the astonishment of the crowd.


    This Wang Yu was Wang Xuan''s big cousin, and was nineteen years old. Not long ago, he had entered the Spirit Lake Realm, which attracted the attention of the entire city.


    And for the current Wang Yu, even if one called him an outstanding individual in terms of Qingta City, there was no doubt about it.


    However, such an eye-catching young cultivator had actually tripped over an unremarkable junior from the Lu Family today. This naturally caused everyone to be shocked.


    "Hehe ¡­" So you''re actually at the late stage of The Psychic Realm. No wonder you''re so arrogant. "


    Wang Yu said indifferently to Lu Yang, his expression still as haughty as before, but his eyes had an extra dark and gloomy look.


    Lu Yang laughed loudly. "Young experts of the Qingta City are only so-so."


    Hearing this, the corner of Wang Yu''s eyes twitched, and his expression instantly turned cold: "Don''t think that you have the right to be arrogant just because you received one of my attacks! After that, I will let you know just how powerful the Spirit Lake Realm is! "


    With that said, Wang Yu spread out his palms, his five fingers bent into a claw, spirit energy immediately gushing out from his fingers, as a sharp fluctuation immediately spread out.


    "This move... It is the Spirit Eagle Claw of the Wang Family! "


    Recognizing the movement of Wang Yu, many of the people''s faces changed.


    The Spirit Eagle Claw of the Wang Family was also a famous Psionic Skills, reaching the third rank.


    As for Wang Xuan''s father, who was proficient in this skill, the Spirit Eagle Claw that was used by the "Iron Eagle Hand" Wang Cong also made many people in the city feel fear.


    Of course, Wang Yu''s mastery of the Spirit Eagle Claw was far below his father''s, but if he were to activate the third stage Psionic Skills, he would be able to deal with it with cultivation, not to mention that Lu Yang''s cultivation was one stage lower than Wang Yu''s!


    Lu Yang''s gaze turned serious, but there was no fear on his face.


    The tense atmosphere caused even more people nearby to gather around and watch the battle with great interest.


    They also really wanted to know just how powerful Lu Family, this youth who had appeared out of nowhere, was. How long could he last under the attention of this eye-catching genius ¡­


    Wang Yu slightly bent his palm, and a bit of malice surged into his eyes.


    After his youth had become famous, he had always been treated as a genius, and had been sought after. Today, fighting against a young man who had no reputation, was already a bit off the mark, and if they couldn''t completely defeat him, then they wouldn''t be able to hang their heads on their shoulders.


    "Hehe, although my Underground Market is not controlled by my City Lord''s Mansion, it is still not a lawless place."


    However, just as Wang Yu was about to attack with his body leaned forward, a loud laughter rang out. Then, a few figures walked over in a line, straight to the between Lu Yang and Wang Yu who was in a confrontation.


    These people wore different clothes, but there was a red wolf head emblem on their chests.


    "It''s the members of the Crimson Wolf Fist."


    When they saw the appearance of these people, the surrounding audience could not help but shrink their heads. It was obvious that they were wary of them.


    The leader of the group was a rebellious youth. His gaze swept across Lu Yang at first, then shifted back to Wang Yu, "The order of Underground Market is maintained by our Scarlet Wolf Fist Club. If you want to cause trouble here, aren''t you giving us, the Scarlet Wolf Fist Club, too much face?"


    Wang Yu''s face darkened: Shi Yuan, this brat injured my cousin, I will settle this debt with him, if you know what''s good for you, don''t meddle in my business!


    Shi Yuan remained unmoved: "The Underground Market stage is being watched by my Scarlet Wolf Fist Club. If we do not interfere in any matters, how can we still be considered managers?"


    "Shi Yuan, this means that you have made up your mind to go against me today?"


    The eagle claw in Wang Yu''s hand shone with an extremely sharp light.


    "Hee hee ¡­"


    Facing Wang Yu''s threat, Shi Yuan smiled instead, "I don''t mind rehearsing it with you before the hunt!"

 C15

    Shi Yuan stared at Wang Yu, undisguised fighting spirit in his eyes.


    Wang Yu frowned.


    Currently, Shi Yuan''s cultivation had already reached the late stage of The Psychic Realm, but his fighting strength was extremely strong, and was reputed to be the strongest in terms of The Psychic Realm, only slightly lacking compared to Wang Yu.


    Moreover, Shi Yuan was famous for being difficult to deal with. Once this guy started fighting, he would have to use all his strength, even to the point of using all his strength.


    Even if Wang Yu were to defeat him, it would take some effort. He did not wish for this to happen.


    Moreover, this was the territory of the Crimson Wolf Fist ¡­


    "Humph!"


    Wang Yu snorted at Shi Yuan, and with a flick of his fingers, the spirit light surrounding him disappeared.


    "Shi Yuan, I will give your Scarlet Wolf Fist Club face today!"


    With that, Wang Yu waved his hand, and a few people from the crowd immediately carried the unconscious Wang Xuan up.


    Wang Yu turned to Lu Yang with a cold and sinister gaze. "Kid, don''t think that this matter will end like this ¡­ In the Hunt Competition five days from now, I will make you and your Lu Family pay for what happened today! "


    With that, Wang Yu sneered, and left with the rest of the Wang Family.


    Shi Yuan walked toward Lu Yang: "Hehe, to be able to withstand one of Wang Yu''s attacks, your strength is pretty good."


    Lu Yang laughed.


    Shi Yuan looked at Lu Yang and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you interested in fighting with me? I guarantee that it won''t be any worse than fighting against Wang Yu. "


    Qing Lian finally understood that this Shi Yuan was a militant.


    Lu Yang shrugged and looked at Qing Lian: "Next time."


    Shi Yuan understood and did not force himself to continue: "Alright, then I''ll see you at the Hunt then ¡­ "Haha, I hope we can have a good fight at that time."


    With that, Shi Yuan brought everyone and left.


    "Lu Yang, that Shi Yuan guy is not bad." Qing Lian said as she looked at Shi Yuan''s leaving background.


    "Yes."


    Lu Yang nodded, he could naturally feel the other party''s goodwill.


    Within the Qingta City, more than half of the territory was occupied by the three great forces led by City Lord''s Mansion, while the remaining territory was divided up between the hundreds of small and large forces in the city.


    Amongst these many forces, Lu Family could be considered a veteran family clan, and was one of the twenty powers that could legally operate a marketplace in the city.


    The Crimson Wolf Fist Sect was a newly risen power. They were not affiliated with any of the three major forces and relied entirely on themselves to establish a territory within the city.


    However, because of this, he was unable to obtain the approval of the City Lord''s Mansion, which was why he was able to create a Underground Market that was not restricted by the City Lord''s Mansion.


    "Our Lu Family isn''t doing very well within the Qingta City. If it''s necessary, perhaps roping in the Scarlet Wolf Fist School is also a good choice."


    Lu Yang looked at Shi Yuan''s background and said thoughtfully.


    Qing Lian nodded as if she understood something.


    "Alright, it''s time for us to return."


    Lu Yang turned his head and said to Qing Lian.


    "Yes."


    Qing Lian was also a little tired from today''s play, adding that after all the twists and turns just now, she was no longer in the mood to go shopping.


    After returning to the Lu Family, the two of them went back to their room to rest for a bit before being called to the hall at the back of the courtyard to eat dinner.


    Lu Yang and his son stayed in the small courtyard at the corner of the Lu Family. Adding to the knots in Lu Zhan''s heart, Lu Zhan and his family of three rarely appeared in the large courtyard.


    This time, Lu Tianxiong specially sent someone to call Lu Yang and Qing Lian over for dinner, it was slightly unusual.


    When Lu Yang came to the back hall of the courtyard, the large round table was already filled with people, and the main members of the Lu Family were all there.


    The moment Lu Yang and the other two entered the door, they were immediately greeted with a greeting from their families. The gazes of their cousins who were gathered on Qing Lian in the past had now turned towards Lu Yang as well.


    Scanning the surroundings, Lu Yang realized that only three empty seats were left at the table with more than a dozen people. One was beside the master of the Lu Family, Lu Wei and his daughter, while the other was the Patriarch Lu Tianxiong.


    "What, Third Bro won''t come?"


    Lu Tianxiong looked at the two people at the door for a while. After confirming that there was no third person, he spoke with displeasure.


    Qing Lian quickly explained: "Father is not at the side courtyard. I did not know grandfather would call us here for dinner ¡­"


    Lu Tianxiong''s face darkened slightly. "Do you really not know, or did you pretend that you didn''t know?"


    Qing Lian panicked, and it was still Lu Yang who replied: "Father is indeed not here, he has something important to attend to, it''s a very important matter."


    "Important things?"


    Lu Tianxiong''s mind wavered, as he vaguely realized something.


    He once again thought of the reason he had called Lu Yang here today, and the anger on his face disappeared. "If he didn''t come, then he didn''t come, and I wasn''t looking for him in the first place either."


    Lu Tianxiong smiled benevolently at Lu Yang and Qing Lian, but Lu Yang could still see a flash of disappointment in the old man''s eyes.


    "Come, come," Lu Tianxiong said as he pointed to the empty seat beside him. "The two of you, sit here."


    The seat beside the Patriarch had always been reserved for important members like Lu Wei.


    Occasionally, there would be a favoured junior or two who would be able to sit down, but the situation was extremely rare. Lu Yang and Qing Lian, who rarely appeared in the rear hall, even more so received such honor in a short period of time.


    Qing Lian was hesitating, but Lu Yang walked over.


    Seeing that, Qing Lian had no choice but to follow, the two of them sat down beside Lu Tianxiong, and luckily, they were next to Lu Qi, who usually had a good relationship with him, so she was not as nervous.


    This dinner had obviously been prepared and the dishes were very sumptuous.


    Everyone was talking and laughing at the table. Lu Tianxiong would pay attention to Lu Yang and the others from time to time, so he could not help but ask about Lu Zhan''s situation.


    It was just that the old man had a stubborn personality. He would try to cover up when he asked Lu Zhan, pretending to ask casually.


    However, they were all easily seen through by Lu Yang, and he just did not say it out loud.


    Halfway through dinner, Lu Tianxiong suddenly said: "I received news today that you guys are fighting with Wang Family brothers on the streets?"


    Instantly, everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at the main character of the incident ¡ª Lu Yang.


    "It''s not exactly a conflict," Lu Yang didn''t seem to have discovered that he had become the focus of the entire audience, "Wang Xuan wanted to find trouble with us, but I stopped him for a while."


    "Your strike was not light, you broke Wang Xuan''s hand?" Lu Tianxiong narrowed his eyes at Lu Yang.


    Hearing this, everyone''s hearts could not help but jump!


    There were many forces within the Qingta City, so it was normal for there to be occasional friction between the younger generation of the families, but the Wang Family juniors were all considered outstanding in the city, so when the Lu Family juniors met them, they would only suffer losses ¡­


    But now, not only did Lu Yang manage to beat him like he usually did with his Lu Family, he even broke his hand right away?!


    this was because the Lu Family juniors who were bullied in the past had let out a heavy sigh.


    The eyes of the elders from the Lu Family were slightly flickering. That Wang Xuan from the Wang Family had extraordinary strength amongst the younger generation. To think that he would suffer such a crushing defeat at the hands of Lu Yang, then Lu Yang''s strength ¡­

 C16

    Hearing that Lu Yang had injured Wang Xuan, Qing Lian became anxious: "Grandfather, it was Wang Xuan who stirred up the trouble first ¡­"


    "Haha ¡­"


    However, Lu Tianxiong smiled benevolently, "Don''t worry, Grandfather already knows the reason for this matter. Grandfather does not have any intention of reprimanding you two ¡­ Although someone from Wang Family came today to denounce you for your crimes, your grandfather can still support you with this trivial matter! "


    Qing Lian heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Not only Wang Xuan, I heard that you fought with Wang Yu?"


    Lu Tianxiong looked at Lu Yang with blazing anticipation, just like how he felt when he looked at his most proud son.


    "Yes." Lu Yang replied indifferently, "It was also not an official exchange, just a punch."


    When these words spread in the hall, it immediately caused a commotion among the crowd.


    Who was Wang Yu? That was the publicly recognized outstanding youth from the Qingta City, an expert whose cultivation had reached the level of Spirit Lake Realm!


    But after Lu Yang exchanged a punch with him, not only did he not suffer any damage, he even said it so casually ¡­ Could he already have the strength to fight against Wang Yu?


    "Hahaha ¡­" Lu Tianxiong finally could not hold back and laughed out loud, "It seems that the heavens have treated me quite well. In thirty years, they gave me two geniuses, real geniuses!"


    The juniors of the Lu Family shot gazes of admiration at Lu Yang, but Lu Wei and the others all had complex expressions on their faces.


    The geniuses of the previous generation from the Lu Family have long since lost their edge ¡­


    "Five days later, it will be the once a year hunt for the Qingta City. According to the rules, every family will be able to send out two people to participate, and our Lu Family will be fought by Lu Qi and Lu Yang."


    Lu Tianxiong took the opportunity to announce the news that everyone already knew. This was the main reason why Lu Yang was called over to eat.


    After announcing this news, the atmosphere of the banquet also reached its peak. The mood of the Lu Family s were all very high.


    "You have really made a name for yourself today."


    At this time, Lu Qi''s voice came from her side.


    Lu Yang shrugged his shoulders.


    Lu Qi continued, "Grandfather has very high expectations for you ¡­ Our Lu Family''s situation isn''t too good, and we have been constantly suppressed by many parties over the past few years. If we don''t create something impressive, I''m afraid our situation will become even worse. "


    "Mm ¡­" Lu Yang paused for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Who did you give that Pure Heart Dragon Helianthus to?"


    "Nope." Lu Qi shook her head, "The reason why our Lu Family urgently needs that Pure Heart Dragon Helianthus is because we want another The Psychic Realm cultivator to participate in the Hunt. Later on, Grandfather found out that you had advanced to the The Psychic Realm and you were pretty strong, so we put this matter on hold."


    After thinking for a moment, Lu Qi continued, "According to what my father said, Grandfather seems to be preparing to take that Pure Heart Dragon Helianthus as the champion prize for the current year''s exam. Of course, this does not include the two of us."


    "Oh ¡­" Lu Yang thoughtfully nodded his head.


    "Amongst this year''s participants, Brother Wang Family is the most highly regarded one. You injured Wang Xuan to the point where he cannot fight, but Wang Yu will definitely participate. When that time comes, he will definitely seek you out for revenge. Lu Qi was a little worried.


    "Are you sure ¡­?" Although it''s not a hundred percent, there are still some. " Lu Yang casually replied.


    Lu Qi''s eyes lit up, and quickly asked: How much certainty do you have?


    "Eighty to ninety percent."


    Lu Yang''s words almost made Lu Qi spit out the rice that had just entered her mouth.


    Less than 100%... Only eighty to ninety percent?


    Could this guy be bluffing? There was a eighty to ninety percent chance of winning!


    However, what Lu Qi did not know was that this was still the situation where Lu Yang did not absorb the Barbarian Stone Fruit ¡­


    "You''re talking nonsense again."


    After staring blankly for a long time, Lu Qi still could not believe what Lu Yang had said.


    Lu Yang looked like he didn''t care at all, as if he would believe it or not.


    After the banquet, everyone dispersed, and Lu Yang returned to his own room.


    He sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated for a while, before taking out the Barbarian Stone Fruit he had bought earlier.


    But Lu Yang was not in a hurry to consume the stone like Spirit Fruit, he only held it in his hand, and activated the Spirit Element from the center of his palm.


    Hiss ¡­


    A speck of sparks ignited on the surface of the stone fruit, and with the speed of a snail, it slowly spread outwards.


    This Barbarian Stone Fruit was not like the Seven Leaf Orchid, which was incomparably sturdy. It took Lu Yang an entire hour to purify and purify the medicinal power of the stone fruit.


    At this moment, that grey droplet of water quietly floated above Lu Yang''s palm.


    Lu Yang raised his hand, and the droplets of water entered the bath barrel he had prepared a long time ago.


    The bath barrel was not filled with clear water, but a semi-viscous translucent liquid. It was used as a special bath for medicinal baths.


    Only then did Lu Yang take off his clothes, entered the bath barrel, and started to cultivate in the outside world.


    The bath that had diluted the power of the Barbarian Stone Fruit covered Lu Yang''s entire body from the neck down.


    As Lu Yang circulated his arts, the power of the spirit medicine began to purify his skin from all directions.


    After an hour, the medicinal power in the bath was completely used up, and Lu Yang suddenly released the spirit force he accumulated. Under the strong impact, his body could not help but tremble.


    Weng! *


    Following that, a layer of faint golden light started to emit from Lu Yang''s body, which then returned to the pores on his body.


    "Diamond Physique, don''t injure a single level!"


    Lu Yang slowly opened his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief.


    The external text of the "Vajra Subduing Demon Scripture" talked about the cultivation method of the Vajra Body.


    However, the Diamond Body could be divided into nine stages. Each stage corresponded to a small stage, which was: Indestructible, Unbreakable, and Unbreakable.


    If the body could not be injured, then it meant that the sword could not be injured. At this level, one could even disregard the attacks of ordinary weapons; they could be said to be invulnerable to swords and spears!


    Right now, Lu Yang was only at the first stage of not being injured yet. Although he was not completely immune to swords, he was still able to have a certain degree of resistance, and the strength of his body increased by quite a bit.


    It was just that the [Vajra Body Refinement] was extremely expensive, and the cost was so high that even the current Lu Family would not be able to support it.


    Fortunately, in any era, alchemists did not lack money to spend ¡­


    Five days passed in the blink of an eye.


    During this time, although Lu Qi did her best to cultivate, her time was limited, she had only raised her strength slightly, and her cultivation had not changed.


    Lu Yang fought steadily and the situation was more or less the same as Lu Qi.


    On the day of the hunt, the bustle of the hunting grounds outside the Qingta City had reached its highest point every year.


    The Hunt was a grand occasion held once a year by the Qingta City, and the importance it received was second only to the yearly Martial Meet held every three years.


    However, unlike the Martial Competition, the participants of the Great Hunt were limited to cultivators under the age of twenty. Apart from the prizes set up by the organizers, it was also an opportunity for the younger generation of various forces to show their faces.


    If he could get a good ranking in the competition, he would definitely be able to raise his family''s reputation.


    Therefore, not only would the various large and small powers of Qingta City, the surrounding towns would also come and participate, causing this competition between the younger generation to be extremely lively.

 C17

    The hunting competition''s arena was set on the hunting grounds outside the Qingta City.


    The hunting grounds took up an enormous amount of space. Including the numerous hills, the interior was naturally ecological, and the surroundings were surrounded by high walls, ensuring that the Magical Beast inside could not leave, and the Magical Beast outside could not enter.


    "The majority of the Magical Beast in the hunting grounds are at the Spirit Channeling level, but there are also a few with Spiritual Spring Level. Generally speaking, Magical Beast s are of a lower level and are not too dangerous for The Psychic Realm cultivators. Thus, when there is nothing important to do, everyone would usually come here to hunt Magical Beast and increase their combat ability. "


    On the way to the hunting grounds, Lu Qi explained the situation to Qing Lian.


    "Are you familiar with the hunting grounds?"


    The one who suddenly asked this question was Lu Yang.


    A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lu Qi''s beautiful face, "Uuu ¡­ "Not really."


    "How many times have you been here?" Lu Yang asked again.


    "One time... "Nor." Lu Qi''s fair face blushed faintly from the awkwardness.


    "Oh!"


    Lu Yang had an expression like this.


    Lu Qi became angry from embarrassment: "I heard that Elder Sister Xinyu got a lot of information on the hunting grounds, so she definitely knows more about the grounds than you do! "After you enter later, just follow behind me!"


    Lu Yang still maintained his indifferent look. "Mmm ¡­"


    Lu Family had finally come to the hunting grounds, it was already packed with people, all sorts of forces were gathered there, many of them were greeting each other, and those who did not have a good relationship with each other took this opportunity to build a relationship.


    was busy with social events, so Lu Wei said to Lu Yang: "The rules of the Great Hunting Competition are very simple, it''s about the number of Magical Beast killed in six hours.


    "There are Spirit Channeling and Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast in the hunting grounds. Killing a Spirit Channeling level Magical Beast will give you one point, and killing one will give you ten points. In the end, you will use the Animal Core''s body to obtain points, understand?"


    Lu Yang nodded his head: "In that case, we just need to kill Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast s ¡­"


    "Do you think Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast are so easy to deal with?" Lu Qi unhappily rolled her eyes at Lu Yang, "Magical Beast and us humans are different, their strength will change as the body grows, so there is no distinction between the former and the latter stages of strength.


    "The so called Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast refers to the overall strength of the Magical Beast after it reaches the mature body. However, if some powerful Magical Beast can reach the strength of the late stage of the Spiritual Spring Realm when their body is at its peak condition, how can we, two The Psychic Realm cultivators, handle this kind of Magical Beast?"


    Lu Yang had known these words for a long time, hence he did not have any special reaction to Lu Qi''s explanation, he only nodded in agreement.


    Lu Qi also didn''t know if this whimsical guy heard it or not.


    Lu Wei warned again, "Qi''er is right, the Magical Beast''s specific strength needs to be judged based on the situation. If we meet them, we can try it.


    After saying that, Lu Wei paused for a moment, his gaze turned to Lu Yang, and said meaningfully: "However, Yang Er is able to fight with Wang Yu who is at the early stage of the Spiritual Spring Realm, so if he meets a Magical Beast, he might be able to fight as well."


    Lu Yang grinned, revealing a profound look.


    "Hehe, Lu Tianxiong, it has been a long time since we last met ¡­ If you didn''t come out, I would have thought that you were a step ahead of me. "


    Right at this moment, an ear-piercing laughter came from not too far away, causing the faces of everyone in the Lu Family to change slightly.


    Lu Yang looked towards the source of the voice and saw a group of people approaching them aggressively.


    There were two old men in the lead. One wore a gorgeous robe, his eyes were sharp, and his head was half bald. The other man was tall and thin, dressed as a scholar, but his eyes were sinister.


    "It''s the Wang Family Patriarch Wang Zhenshan and the Wu Family Patriarch Wu Wenzhong."


    Lu Qi''s voice transmitted over from beside Lu Yang. "The two of them are enemies with our Lu Family."


    Lu Yang nodded his head slightly. The juniors from the Wu and Lu Family Families were looking for trouble with him, more or less due to their family''s relationship with him.


    A few familiar figures appeared in Lu Yang''s line of sight, and those three people were currently staring at Lu Yang with extremely unkind gazes. They were the brothers Wu Jian and Wang Yu who once had conflicts with him.


    "Lu Tianxiong, a few days ago, our family''s Wang Xuan was taken care of by you two."


    Wang Zhenshan smiled, but his eyes revealed a little viciousness.


    "Wang Zhenshan, at your age, could it be that you''re going to get involved in the conflict between the younger generation?"


    Lu Tianxiong replied with a faint smile.


    Wang Zhenshan squinted, and the smile on his face became even wider: "You''re right... "Today''s hunt is also a competition between the younger generation, and the children have not acted lightly or heavily. If anything happens, please take care of them ¡­"


    As Wang Zhenshan said this, he also made a provocative gesture towards Lu Yang.


    Lu Yang glanced at him nonchalantly, but didn''t react at all. He only shifted his gaze away.


    Wang Xuan suddenly became angry, and he actually ignored him.


    "It''s not easy to produce a good seedling with Lu Family. If something were to happen here, then it''s truly a place with no successors ¡­" The scholar dressed Wu Wenzhong said indifferently.


    Wang Zhenshan laughed out loud, waved his hand, bringing the Wang and Wu family members over.


    When Wang Yu was passing by, he suddenly stopped in his steps. His cold gaze swept across Lu Qi, and then stopped on Lu Yang''s body: "You guys had better pray that you do not meet me, or else I will let you experience a terror ten times more terrifying than a Magical Beast ¡­"


    As his voice fell, the corner of Wang Yu''s lips rose into a ghastly sneer, and then, he strode off.


    "This guy is too annoying!"


    Looking at the background Wang Yu had left, Lu Qi said angrily.


    Lu Yang still maintained that indifferent look on his face. In regards to Wang Yu''s threats, he seemed to not care at all.


    As more and more forces entered, the hunting grounds'' audience stands quickly filled up, and the time for the start of the competition finally arrived.


    "Everyone ¡­"


    An old man with a powerful demeanor stood up on the platform. His loud and clear voice quickly rang out, causing the clamor in the hunting grounds to immediately lessen.


    As the leader of the three great forces, the City Lord''s Mansion of the organizers of the hunt held a very high prestige in the region of Qingta City.


    "Today is the day of my Qingta City Hunting Competition. Everyone should already know the rules, every party would send out two people, and within six hours, the party with the highest score will win!"


    The host''s voice rolled around as it was wrapped in Spirit Element. It spread to every corner of the audience seats, and the cultivation level of the elder was obviously not low either.


    "Then now, each team enter the stage and the match begins!"


    At the command of the old man, many figures walked out of the viewing gallery and towards the entrance of the hunting grounds.


    Halfway there, Lu Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze turned towards the peak of the mountain, but there was no one in his line of sight.


    "He''s here yet he doesn''t show himself ¡­ This is the tradition of our family.


    Lu Yang murmured to himself as he continued walking with Lu Qi.


    There were many entrances to the hunting grounds, so Lu Yang and Lu Qi chose the closest place, which was confirmed by the organizer at the entrance, and then officially entered the hunting grounds.


    As the representatives of various forces entered the stage, the annual hunt for the Qingta City officially began!

 C18

    The hunt had already started, Lu Yang and Lu Yang did not waste anymore time at the entrance, and immediately headed inside the forest.


    "Follow me."


    Just as she had said at the beginning, Lu Qi walked straight to the front.


    Lu Yang replied casually and followed him.


    When they just entered the forest from the entrance, before they could disperse, Lu Yang and Yue Yang also encountered other teams on the way.


    To a certain extent, fights between participants in the hunting competition was not forbidden, and to some extent, it could be said to be tacit agreement. Therefore, other than hunting Magical Beast, stealing the Animal Core from the hands of other participants was also one of the ways to obtain points.


    However, the competition had just begun and the teams hadn''t gotten anything yet. As a result, they only needed to face each other once before warily leaving.


    Lu Yang and Yue Shan explored the forest for a while and met with a few Spirit Channeling Magical Beast that were easily destroyed. However, after two hours, their harvest was not much.


    "We can''t continue like this ¡­"


    Lu Qi looked at the few Animal Core s in her hands, and her brows knitted slightly.


    "Let''s go to the interior of the hunting grounds," Lu Yang said as he looked around, "Most of the teams are currently gathered near the entrance, so the Magical Beast in this area should have more or less been hunted down. If we want to obtain more Animal Core, we must enter the deeper parts of the forest."


    Lu Qi was a little hesitant, "The deeper we go, the more likely we will encounter Magical Beast with Spiritual Spring Level ¡­"


    Lu Yang said as if he was looking forward to it, "Then it''s just right, the Spiritual Spring Level Animal Core is worth ten points each."


    Lu Qi was startled, was this guy planning something?


    However, Lu Qi knew that the number of Magical Beast in the vicinity was not many, so she could only accept Lu Yang''s suggestion and go deeper.


    As the two went deeper, the frequency of encountering Magical Beast increased, and Lu Qi''s footsteps became more and more cautious.


    "Elder Sister Xinyu said that the deeper you go into the hunting grounds, the more dangerous it is ¡­ At any time, we may encounter an ambush from a Magical Beast deep within the forest. "


    Lu Qi carefully looked at her surroundings as she explained to Lu Yang.


    However, when her gaze landed on the youth behind her, she was stunned.


    It was because while she was carefully moving forward as if she was walking on thin ice, Lu Yang, who was behind her, was swaggering.


    "Lu Yang, you ¡­"


    Lu Qi was a little angry in her heart, just as she was about to teach him a lesson, Lu Yang suddenly raised his hand, and a small stone immediately flew out from her hand.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    Hurried wind sounds suddenly rang out, and the stone almost brushed past Lu Qi''s face, causing her face to feel slight pain.


    Just as Lu Qi was about to get angry, before she could even open her mouth, he had already stepped forward, snatching from her side.


    The sudden turn of events caused Lu Qi to pause for a moment, and when she regained her senses, she anxiously cast her gaze forward. She saw that Lu Yang was standing at the position of her previous master, and he was holding a light brown thing in his hand.


    "Dry branches?"


    Lu Qi stared at the object in Lu Yang''s hands and stared intently. She could not help but cry out: "No, it''s a snake!"


    Lu Yang said indifferently: "This is a Withering Vine Snake, a Spirit Level Magical Beast. It does not have poison but its teeth are quite sharp and it has strong attack power. The problem with the Magical Beast is that it can hide its Qi, it is very good at camouflage, and even cultivators would not be able to detect it. "


    Lu Qi was upset.


    If she was not careful and was bitten by this withering vine snake, not to mention that she was unable to move, it would probably implicate Lu Yang and he would not even be able to continue hunting.


    She had clearly heard of the existence of this Withering Vine Snake from the Elder Sister Xinyu, and she had been extremely careful along the way. She hadn''t thought that she would still not find the existence of this Magical Beast!


    But Lu Yang found out...


    In her opinion, the careless Lu Yang had not only discovered the Withering Vine Snake that she hadn''t noticed, she had even killed it before it could attack!


    "This guy ¡­" "As expected of him."


    Lu Qi curled her lips. She was dissatisfied that Lu Yang did not warn him beforehand, but she also understood that the situation at that time was extremely urgent and that he did not have time to speak further, hence she kept this praise in her heart.


    "The situation in the deeper parts of the hunting grounds is very complicated. Let me walk in the front to scout." As Lu Yang spoke, a light flashed in his hands, and he took out the Magic Cores of the Withering Vine Snake.


    Lu Qi did not insist, but deliberately used a dissatisfied tone to say: "Since you''re so capable, you should have taken the initiative to scout ahead a long time ago!"


    "Didn''t you ask to go to the front?" Lu Yang said as a matter of fact.


    Lu Qi was stunned, she was about to retort, but instead shifted her gaze.


    Lu Qi who was suspicious of any Magical Beast immediately became alert and remained silent.


    "Hehe ¡­" Lu Qi, you guys still have the leisure to bicker here, isn''t that a little too leisurely? "


    At the same time, two youngsters around sixteen to seventeen years old walked out from the forest.


    One of them was at the early stage of the The Psychic Realm, and the other had already reached the middle stage of the The Psychic Realm.


    "Song Cheng, Song Jun?"


    Recognizing the person, Lu Qi heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Don''t worry, they are two brothers of Song Family, my friends."


    Lu Qi looked at the youth beside her. The words were originally meant for Lu Yang, but she suddenly realised. There was no trace of nervousness on that guy''s face at all!


    Well, he had said that again.


    Lu Qi was a little helpless towards Lu Yang, and could only turn her attention to the Song Family brothers: "Why did you two suddenly appear, it can''t be that simple to greet, right?"


    "We did indeed come looking for you ¡­" Song Cheng laughed, "We plan to find people to work together and hunt Magical Beast together, are you interested?"


    Lu Qi looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Cooperation on what? With your strength, it should be easy to deal with Spirit Channeling Magical Beast, right? Do you want to deal with the Spiritual Spring Level''s Magical Beast? "


    Song Jun said: "We still do not know our limits. The Magical Beast s of Spiritual Spring Realm are not something we can provoke ¡­ Our target is the Poisonous Tarantula. "


    "Poisonous Tarantula? Isn''t that a Spirit Channeling Magical Beast? Even though it is poisonous, it isn''t lethal. Given your strength, it shouldn''t be impossible for you two to deal with it, right? " Lu Qi did not understand.


    "If it''s just one or two, of course there''s no problem ¡­" Song Jun intentionally kept him guessing, "We found a cave, and conservative estimates of the number of Poisonous Tarantula inside there should be more than a hundred. With the strength of the two of us, it''s a little difficult."


    Lu Qi then understood the reason for their visit: "Poisonous Tarantula s are not hard for The Psychic Realm cultivators to kill, it''s just that its poison is a little troublesome, so as long as there are sufficient numbers, it will not be a problem."


    "Yes."


    Song Cheng readily admitted their intentions: "How is it, do you want to join?"


    Lu Qi was also a little moved, this was a good chance to obtain a large number of Animal Core!


    But... This matter was quite risky, because once they were struck by the Tarantula''s poison, their participation in this competition would come to an early end.


    "If we work together, how do we split the Animal Core?" The one who asked was Lu Yang.


    "We each rely on our own strength," Song Cheng replied. "The Animal Core will belong to whoever killed it, this is the most fair way."


    Lu Yang nodded his head: "Alright, we agree."


    The Song Cheng brothers were overjoyed, but they still shifted their gaze towards Lu Qi. In their eyes, compared to the unheard-of youth, the big sister of the Lu Family younger generation was the heart of the team.

 C19

    Lu Qi was originally still hesitating, but when she heard Lu Yang agree to cooperate, she opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she nodded her head, "Alright, we will cooperate with you."


    The Song Family brothers were overjoyed. "That''s great! This way, we can definitely take care of those Poisonous Tarantula! "


    After the two families decided to cooperate, they didn''t waste any more words, and immediately brought Lu Yang and Yue Yang to the cave they discovered.


    After walking through the forest for a while, the four of them finally arrived at a damp and dark place.


    In front of them was a small mound of earth. To the north of the mound was a hole that could accommodate a person. This was the entrance to the cave, but there was nothing to be seen from inside.


    "It''s dark in the crypt, so we''ll light it up with sunstones." Song Cheng explained, "Poisonous Tarantula are very sensitive to light, the moment we enter, we will be the target of their attacks.


    The three of them nodded.


    "All of them?" Song Cheng asked again.


    Everyone nodded again, and only Lu Yang laughed casually: "There''s no need."


    Everyone was taken aback.


    Song Jun looked at Lu Yang with dissatisfaction: "Without the antidote, how can we beat the Poisonous Tarantula?"


    Song Cheng frowned, "You don''t even have the most common antidote? Poisonous Tarantula s are not very poisonous. As long as they do not meet a person like the Spider King, ordinary antidotes will be able to cure it. "


    Lu Yang shook his head, indicating that he did not even have an ordinary antidote.


    Song Jun was extremely dissatisfied: "Lu Qi, what''s wrong with your son? You didn''t even bring ordinary medicine before the hunt? "


    "It was my negligence." Lu Qi said embarrassedly, "I forgot to remind him to bring some commonly used medicines."


    Song Jun said with an unhappy face, "Then what do we do now? Without the antidote, how are we going to enter the Poisonous Tarantula''s nest? "


    "I''ll give him half of my share." Lu Qi could only think of this compromise.


    "No need." However, Lu Yang rejected him untactfully, "You probably don''t have much antidote with you, leave it for you to use, I don''t need it."


    Hearing the arrogant words of the teenager, even Song Cheng was angry.


    Song Jun said directly: "If you want to bring suffering upon yourself, we won''t stop you. Just don''t drag us down when the time comes!"


    Then, he walked towards the entrance of the cave.


    Song Cheng was worried that his brother would be in danger, hence he immediately followed him.


    "Let''s follow them as well."


    Lu Yang did not wait for Lu Qi''s reply and headed towards the cave.


    Lu Qi sighed and followed along.


    The four of them entered the cave and quickly entered a completely dark environment.


    "Take out your weapons, I''m going to take the sunstones."


    Song Cheng spoke a word of warning, causing the cave to immediately flash with light.


    In the end, Song Cheng took out the Sunlight Stone and a gentle ray of light illuminated the sunless cave as bright as day.


    At this moment, everyone held their weapons in their hands. The Hunt did not prohibit the use of weapons.


    The two Song Family Brothers each held a steel blade, while Lu Qi only had a long sword in her hand. Both of them were ordinary weapons, without any rank.


    "Hmm?"


    Suddenly, Lu Qi seemed to have thought of something, she turned and looked behind him, and saw Lu Yang with empty hands.


    "This guy that makes people worry ¡­"


    Lu Qi let out a long sigh. Lu Yang did not even bring her commonly used medicinal pellets, so it was not surprising that she did not have a weapon with him.


    She adjusted her position and protected the unarmed Lu Yang behind her back.


    Everyone carefully moved forward, their eyes vigilantly scanning their surroundings, afraid that there would be a sudden attack from the Poisonous Tarantula.


    Only Lu Yang seemed to still be outside, looking like he was leisurely strolling in the park.


    "He''s here!"


    Just then, Song Cheng issued a warning, a group of black figures suddenly jumped out from the nearby crevices, pouncing straight at the three.


    Song Jun, who was the closest to the spider, brandished his blade and rushed forward. With a flash of cold light, the plate sized spider was sliced in half.


    Song Jun skillfully took out the Animal Core s and they continued to move forward.


    Along the way, the group of people encountered many Poisonous Tarantula s, but fortunately, they did not encounter any groups of Poisonous Tarantula.


    With the Song Family brothers taking the lead, killing Poisonous Tarantula was naturally the most. Lu Qi had also contributed the most, but Lu Yang, who did not have any antidote or weapons, was constantly being protected at the back.


    When everyone stopped to rest, Song Jun expressed his dissatisfaction: "We called you here to work together, and you did not do anything, what''s the use of us asking you?"


    Hearing that, Lu Qi was already ashamed, but Lu Yang still had a confident face: "Didn''t you say who fought the Animal Core, and who took it? I saw that you guys had dealt with it enough, so I gave the Animal Core to you guys. "


    Song Jun was slightly startled.


    The reason why he and Song Cheng would actively take action every time they met a Poisonous Tarantula was to some extent so that they could snatch the Animal Core. If Lu Yang did not take action, it would actually be beneficial for them ¡­


    However, the word "let" that Lu Yang used made Song Jun feel extremely uncomfortable. He sneered: "Let? "How laughable, don''t make it sound like you have the ability to overpower us!"


    Lu Yang laughed but did not say a word.


    "Stop arguing, they''re coming!"


    Song Cheng who was always on guard shouted out, everyone immediately turned their attention to their surroundings, and sure enough, they saw the surrounding Poisonous Tarantula s attacking them.


    "Six."


    Lu Qi swept a glance, and quickly determined the number of Poisonous Tarantula.


    They had also encountered a group of six, but luckily, their defense was very weak. As long as they managed to hit it, they would be able to kill it in one hit.


    "Fight!"


    Song Cheng gave the order, and the three with weapons immediately went forward.


    "Another Animal Core has come to our doorstep."


    Song Jun was happy with the sudden attack of the Poisonous Tarantula, he brandished his steel blade and struck out, thinking that he could slash the Poisonous Tarantula into two, just like before, but this time, he miscalculated.


    Just as the steel blade was about to hit, the poison wolf suddenly dodged and avoided Song Jun''s attack.


    "How could that be?"


    Song Jun was momentarily stunned. Along the way, he suddenly failed to react.


    "Be careful!"


    Song Cheng did not forget to pay attention to his brother''s situation. Seeing Song Jun in a daze, he immediately warned him.


    However, by the time Song Jun had regained his senses, it was already too late. The Poisonous Tarantula that avoided his attack was already close to him.


    The Poisonous Tarantula''s venom shot out in a splash, and the effective distance was exactly one chi!


    "Whiz!"


    Just as Ning Jun was feeling alarmed, a sharp whistling sound of wind breaking brushed past his ears.


    Following that, he saw the Poisonous Tarantula that had almost succeeded in its attack being struck and sent flying. It laid on the ground with its eight legs curled up into a ball, obviously dead.


    "This is bad!"


    Song Jun did not have time to understand the situation over here, and suddenly realized that the situation was not good. He was actually in such a state of chaos while fighting against a Poisonous Tarantula, and at the same time, he feared that Song Cheng, who was fighting against three of them, would not be able to react!


    Song Jun hurriedly looked at Song Cheng, but before he could do anything, three things had already pierced through the wind and landed without exception on the three Poisonous Tarantula that forced Song Cheng into a dangerous situation.


    In the blink of an eye, all of the Tarantula that Song Cheng was tired of dealing with had been killed ¡­

 C20

    The two Song Family Brothers only needed the space of a few breaths to get out of danger from welcoming the enemy, the matter had developed too quickly and too suddenly. When the Poisonous Tarantula was killed, they were still unable to recover.


    Stunned, the two of them remembered that Lu Qi had been assigned to deal with two Poisonous Tarantula.


    Song Cheng and Yue Shan hurriedly looked towards the girl''s direction, only to see Lu Qi who had stopped moving and was standing in his original position ¡ª She was also out of danger.


    However, Lu Qi''s face did not have the doubtful expression of the two.


    She stared at Lu Yang who was at the back of the crowd: "Did you do it just now?"


    The Song Family brothers'' eyes flashed, and looked at Lu Yang suspiciously.


    "Yes."


    Lu Yang was rather generous in admitting it.


    The Song Family brothers were suspicious. The person who had killed six Poisonous Tarantula in a row with a lightning-like method was actually this lazy fellow who kept on walking?


    Furthermore, those were not ordinary Poisonous Tarantula. Those Poisonous Tarantula were extremely fast, and even the Song Family brothers could not easily hit them!


    Just as the two wanted to ask more, they suddenly saw Lu Yang flip his wrist and take out a few small items from the Cosmic Bag.


    Sou sou sou ¡­


    Under the gaze of the crowd, Lu Yang raised his hand, and the object in his hand immediately shot out, bringing with it an ear-piercing sound of wind.


    The things that were shot out from Lu Yang''s hands shot out in all directions, and when the Song Family brothers hurriedly turned their attention to the target of the concealed weapons, they could only see a few black shadows that were sent flying.


    Four Poisonous Tarantula s died in an instant!


    The two Song Family brothers who had their suspicions about this earlier, after seeing Lu Yang''s attack, were no longer able to question it.


    The truth was right in front of him, and those Poisonous Tarantula were also killed by Lu Yang earlier. This was something without a doubt, but the problem was, how did he do it?


    With new doubts in their minds, the two brothers simultaneously cast their gazes at the spider''s corpse on the ground. They were astonished to see that the spider''s head had been smashed to pieces.


    "What a great technique!"


    "What a precise technique!"


    Song Cheng and Song Jun exclaimed in their hearts, and then looked at each other, as if noticing the dense surprise in each other''s eyes.


    Using a small stone to kill a Poisonous Tarantula was not difficult at all, but to kill it in one shot, and to hit the head directly, which was not an obvious target compared to the body, would require a lot of skill.


    However, what truly shocked the two brothers the most was Lu Yang''s attack ¡ª He had only raised his hand once, yet he had actually killed four Poisonous Tarantula, and those four Poisonous Tarantula were respectively located in four different directions!


    "It doesn''t matter if it was just one arrow or four condors. They are all targets with different positions and distances. Furthermore, they all hit the same target at the same time ¡­ Is this really something that a human can do? "


    Song Cheng thought and forcefully swallowed his saliva.


    The two of them were silent for a moment, and in the end, their gazes shifted towards the young lady with Lu Family. "Lu Qi, this guy ¡­ Just who is it? "


    Lu Qi was also secretly shocked in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm: "Ah, it''s my cousin ¡­ He is the son of my Third Uncle. "


    Song Cheng was a little speechless, they had obviously asked them about Lu Yang''s identity a long time ago.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Song Cheng coughed twice, "Your Lu Family are really well-hidden, I haven''t heard of such a genius appearing for such a long time."


    Lu Qi could only smile. It wasn''t because his Lu Family was deeply hidden, it was purely Lu Yang that had hidden it deeply.


    "We should have entered the middle section of the Spider Lair. The Poisonous Tarantula here are obviously stronger than the ones outside, and there will be more of them. Everyone be on your guard." Lu Yang warned everyone.


    The one who should be on high alert is you!


    All three of them shouted at the same time in their hearts. All along the way, only Lu Yang looked carefree, as if he had awakened with full concentration.


    Song Cheng also reminded them, "The deeper we go, the more danger we encounter. Everyone, prepare the antidote."


    Then, he turned to Lu Yang and said, "Lu Yang, you didn''t bring the antidote.


    After witnessing Lu Yang''s methods, Song Cheng''s attitude towards him also changed.


    Lu Yang still acted as if he did not care. "There''s no need for that.


    After saying that, Lu Yang took a step forward and walked to the very front.


    Song Jun was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Yang''s overconfident look, "Since he wants to be careless, then let him be, after all, the Poisonous Tarantula will bite him, and he will suffer!"


    Lu Qi was also helpless. "Forget it, if it''s necessary later on, I''ll give him the antidote in time."


    The three of them followed Lu Yang and continued forward.


    As they went deeper, the number of Poisonous Tarantula they encountered became harder and harder to deal with, and the number also increased.


    However, ever since Lu Yang had made his move, their progress had been extremely smooth, and their speed had not decreased in the slightest.


    When they encountered twenty Swift Poisonous Tarantula, the Song Family Brothers thought that they would die here. The two of them even started to discuss retreat with Lu Qi, but before they could even come to a conclusion, those quick spiders were already completely wiped out by Lu Yang.


    Just as Lu Yang had said at the beginning, the antidote that they had brought was indeed completely unnecessary, because under Lu Yang''s protection, those spiders did not even have the ability to close in on them!


    Sometimes, they would even be too engrossed in watching the battle with the Poisonous Tarantula. Even if the three of them were to attack at the same time, Lu Yang alone was more than enough to handle those spiders that seemed to have popped out of nowhere.


    This caused the Song Family brothers to be extremely shocked ¡­ Lu Yang didn''t need to work with them to easily deal with this spider lair!


    However, Lu Yang was still very kind. Not only did not one person kill all of the Poisonous Tarantula, but they had also missed out on a few at the right time, allowing the Song Family brothers to reap some rewards.


    At this time, Song Cheng and the other two finally understood the meaning of Lu Yang''s words. When Lu Yang did not make a move at the entrance of the cave, it was indeed on purpose for them to deal with the spider.


    Otherwise, with Lu Yang''s capabilities, they would not be able to snatch him away even if they wanted to!


    After entering the cave for over an hour, Song Cheng and the rest had used up a lot of their physical strength and Spirit Element, so they stopped to rest again.


    "We should have already entered the depths of the cave, and the number of Poisonous Tarantula we encounter has clearly decreased. There shouldn''t be many poisonous spiders left ¡­" Song Cheng analyzed the current situation.


    "Our two families have already gotten close to a hundred Animal Core. This collaboration is pretty rich." Lu Qi also counted the spoils of her battle.


    Song Jun rolled his eyes at her: What''s close to a hundred Animal Core is our Song Family, your Lu Family probably has more than one hundred already ¡­


    There was no other way. Who asked Lu Yang to be so efficient?


    The Song Family brothers could only feel envy and jealousy ¡­


    "Another prey has come to our doorstep."


    While everyone was resting, Song Jun noticed a black shadow moving in front of him, laughed lightly and then leaped up.


    "Song Jun, don''t be rash. Take a good look first!"


    Song Cheng vaguely sensed that something was amiss and hastily warned.


    However, Song Jun did not care. He was confident that he had the ability to handle a mere Poisonous Tarantula.


    Clang!


    Song Jun used his Fast Slash and landed on the body of the black shadow without the slightest deviation.


    "It worked!" Song Jun was instantly overjoyed.


    "Quick, retreat!"


    At this time, Song Cheng''s urgent shout came out at an inappropriate time.

 C21

    Song Jun''s attack succeeded, but right when he was feeling proud, he suddenly heard Song Cheng''s shout to retreat quickly. Although he did not understand, but because of his trust in Song Cheng, he still chose to retreat.


    "Hiss ~ ~ ~"


    Just as Song Jun was retreating, a hissing sound came from the front, followed by a sharp arrow like thing that shot towards him at an extremely fast speed.


    Boom! *


    Fortunately, Song Jun was already prepared, he immediately held his blade horizontally in front of him to block. At the same time as the sound of the impact, his body was also pushed back six or seven steps.


    "What the hell is going on?"


    Song Jun was secretly shocked in his heart.


    Song Cheng and the other two rushed over, the light from the sun stone moved, and very quickly, the black shadow revealed its true form ¡ª ¡ª It was a spider that was as big as the opening of a water jar!


    "What is this ¡­?" Poisonous Tarantula''s body should not be this big ¡­ "


    Shock surfaced in the eyes of Lu Qi and the other two. The gigantic spider that appeared in front of them was several times larger than a Poisonous Tarantula.


    "It''s the Giant Poisonous Wolf Spider." The one who spoke was Lu Yang, "The probability of the appearance of the Poisonous Tarantula''s giant variant is not low. The main characteristic of the variant is that its body size increases multiple times, and at the same time, its strength and toxicity increases.


    After hearing Lu Yang''s introduction, the three of them couldn''t help but look at Lu Yang when they were on guard against the Giant Poisonous Wolf Spider. This young man actually had such a deep understanding of this kind of Magical Beast ¡­


    "This Giant Poisonous Wolf Spider is too strong, it should be equivalent to the late stage of The Psychic Realm. With the poisonous gas that it can release, it''s very troublesome to deal with."


    Song Cheng stared at the dent on the giant spider''s leg that was created by Song Jun and already had thoughts of retreating.


    "No matter which Spirit Channeling Animal Core it is, they are all only worth one point from ¡­ We don''t need to gnaw on this hard bone. "


    Lu Qi also agreed to the plan of retreat.


    Lu Yang was silent. Using a hunting competition to fight against the Giant Poisonous Wolf Spider was not necessary, but the poison sac in the Giant Poisonous Wolf Spider''s body was a rare material ¡­


    "Then what are we waiting for? Let''s retreat!"


    Song Jun who was just about to be hit shouted anxiously.


    "En," Song Cheng made his decision, "We will leave immediately ¡­"


    "Whiz!"


    Song Cheng had only spoken halfway, when a figure had already rushed forward.


    "I''ll deal with this Magical Beast, you guys go first!" At the same time, Lu Yang''s words reached everyone''s ears.


    "This guy, why is he causing trouble at this time!"


    Lu Yang''s actions were out of everyone''s expectations, and they couldn''t just leave Lu Yang behind either. However, they all had their reservations if they were to go up and fight him.


    The venom of the Giant Poison Wolf Spider was stronger than that of ordinary venomous spiders. The antidotes that Lu Qi and the other two had brought might not have any effect ¡­


    Boom! *


    As the three of them hesitated, a deep sound rang out in front of them, immediately attracting their attention.


    Lu Yang had already arrived in front of the gigantic spider. Both sides maintained a certain distance from each other, as the giant spider continued to shoot poison arrows at Lu Yang, and Lu Yang also saw the opportunity and counterattacked with a stone.


    Furthermore, Lu Yang had the upper hand!


    The giant spider''s poison arrows were extremely fast, but Lu Yang was able to easily dodge them every time. At the same time, all the stones he shot out landed squarely on the Monster''s head!


    "This Lu Yang... Was he playing with the Giant Poisonous Wolf Spider? "


    Looking at the Monster in a state of being beaten up, the three people watching from the sidelines were already in a mess.


    If the Monster was so easy to deal with, they wouldn''t have needed to prepare to retreat!


    However, they were well aware in their hearts that none of them would be able to achieve Lu Yang''s exquisite dodging technique ¡­


    Hiss, hiss, hiss.


    The giant spider, who had been beaten up this time, was completely enraged. It gathered its strength and spat out four poison arrows, and with four tricky angles, it blocked all of Lu Yang''s escape routes.


    In such a narrow space, Lu Yang was no longer able to dodge!


    Lu Qi and the other two who were watching the battle were already secretly cursing in their hearts. Even the nimble Lu Yang was unable to dodge in this situation!


    In the end, he saw Lu Yang''s figure twist to the side. After three movements were completed in one go, the four poison arrows had already been completely dodged by him, and did not even touch the corner of his clothes.


    Lu Qi and the other two were already dumbstruck!


    "Is he even human?"


    Song Cheng was truly unable to find anything else to say to express his feelings, but to say these words caused Song Jun and Lu Qi''s deep approval.


    Boom


    Four deep sounds rang out from the top of the giant spider''s head.


    "F * ck me!" When did he counterattack? "


    Song Jun could not help but curse.


    The three of them stared fixedly at Lu Yang''s movements, not even noticing that Lu Yang had casually attacked while dodging a series of excellent attacks.


    "Not only did he dodge the attack, he even completed the counterattack."


    Lu Qi was amazed.


    "This guy is not a genius, he''s a freak ¡­" At least a perverted genius! "


    The Song Family brothers exchanged glances, and instantly reached a consensus in their hearts.


    A battle that was supposed to be thrilling and hair-raising was dominated by Lu Yang to the point that it turned into a smurf.


    That Poisonous Wolf Giant Spider was after all the leader of the Underground Winter Spider, but it was still played to death by Lu Yang ¡­ That''s right, not even a single hair on the spider''s head was injured. After a quarter-hour of being suppressed and beaten up, the spider''s life ended with incomparable grievance.


    "Phew ¡­" This battle is more tiring than I thought. "


    Only then did Lu Yang heave a sigh of relief.


    The three people behind him rolled their eyes at him, "You think you can kill the Giant Poisonous Wolf Spider so easily?" How easy do you think it is?


    Lu Yang walked forward, and slapped his palm on the spider''s abdomen, causing its round stomach to split open, and an object the size of a finger was sucked into his palm.


    "Is this the Poison Wolf Spider''s Magic Cores?" Lu Qi asked.


    "Yes."


    Lu Yang opened up his hand, allowing the Magic Cores to appear in front of Lu Qi.


    Magic Cores s were a type of strange, irregular crystal, and the majority of them were dark gray colored. As for the one in Lu Yang''s hand, it was a relatively rare dark green, and it emitted a faint fluorescent light.


    "The Magic Cores s of the Giant Poison Wolf Spider are a little special," Lu Yang explained. "The Magic Cores s are the places where they store the Spirit Element in their bodies.


    Lu Qi nodded her head. Normally, Poisonous Tarantula s were not very toxic, the production and storage of the poison was in the organs. This Giant Poisonous Wolf Spider, on the other hand, kept the poison in the Magic Cores.


    "What is the use of Magic Cores?" Lu Qi asked again.


    "It can mainly be used to refine poisons, but there are some pills that I need to use with it." Lu Yang replied.


    Lu Qi nodded her head and stopped asking. She did not know much about refining pills.


    "Haha ¡­"


    The Song Family Brothers smiled as they walked towards Lu Yang, their faces filled with respect.


    Lu Yang''s performance just now was just too powerful. This youth had effortlessly tortured the Giant Poisonous Tarantula to death without getting any injuries.


    "Lu Yang Brothers, your movement technique is truly exquisite. Your method of striking out rocks can also be said to be superb."


    Song Cheng praised her with incomparable sincerity.


    "Hur hur, I''m fine."


    Lu Yang smiled faintly. This kind of display was nothing to him.

 C22

    Song Jun was extremely impressed by Lu Yang''s methods, and asked: "I wonder, what technique did Lu Yang Brothers use to create the stone?"


    "It''s not a special technique, it''s just injecting the Spirit Element into a rock. After shooting it out, it will only hit the target." Lu Yang replied.


    The Song Family brothers were stunned, Lu Yang''s explanation was too simple, they did not believe that such a basic movement, could reach such an astonishing level, and could even sweep away the entire spider''s underground cave!


    Thus, the two of them looked at Lu Qi, obviously wanting to hear the answer from her.


    Lu Qi, who was similarly completely clueless, could only shake her head helplessly. "Don''t look at me.


    The Song Family brothers were skeptical, but they couldn''t get to the bottom of this.


    "We''ve almost killed most of the spiders in this underground cave. Let''s leave."


    Song Cheng looked around and said.


    The group left the Spider Cave.


    "The cooperation this time around is very enjoyable. With this result, we should be able to smoothly enter the top ten." Song Cheng was obviously very happy.


    Song Jun, who was at the side, also agreed. "That''s right, there are only a few people like us who would directly discover the Monster''s lair. It''s already not easy for a normal team to kill forty to fifty Monster."


    "The arrangement for the hunt is that as long as you can get a prize from the top ten," Lu Qi laughed, "However, do you really think that getting the top ten is enough?"


    Song Cheng laughed: "The two of us are not considered outstanding amongst the participants, to be able to get into the top ten is already not bad. Next, we have to be careful not to attract the attention of other teams. "


    Lu Qi nodded her head. Compared to hunting Monster s and acquiring them, powerful teams would rather fight over them with other participants.


    "Well then, goodbye to the two of you."


    Song Cheng bid farewell to the two of them, then turned and left with Song Jun.


    "What should we do next?" When Lu Qi asked Lu Yang about it, she seemed to have already treated Lu Yang as his backbone.


    "Let''s head towards the central platform."


    Lu Yang said as a matter of fact.


    Lu Qi looked at the sky: "There is still two hours until the end of the competition, isn''t it a little too early for us to go to the stage? "The rules of the competition states that as long as it''s before the end, you can attack other teams no matter where you go ¡­"


    Lu Yang looked at Lu Qi: "Are you worried that we will be targeted?"


    "Yes." Lu Qi nodded her head, "We now have a hundred and fifty-three Magic Cores, and the previous champion was only a little over two hundred, so the number of Magic Cores in our hands should be enough to obtain a good result. "It would be such a waste if someone else took it ¡­"


    Lu Yang was unconcerned: "Don''t worry, being targeted is nothing ¡­" "It''s hard to say who will win."


    Lu Qi was startled, could it be that this fellow had already planned this long ago?


    He planned to head to the stage earlier. Could it be that he wanted to snatch a few more Magic Cores s along the way ¡­


    Thinking about it, Lu Qi suddenly felt speechless, but then again, with Lu Yang''s ability, it was not easy to steal things from his hands.


    Lu Qi did not persist anymore, and the two of them walked towards the stage.


    Along the way, the two of them met a few Spirit Realm Magical Beast, but they were easily dealt with by Lu Yang. When there were still half an hour left until the end of the competition, Lu Yang and Yue Yang arrived at the foot of the mountain where the stage was.


    "Phew ¡­"


    Lu Qi heaved a sigh of relief.


    Her breathing was heavy. The hunt was already coming to an end, and the long battle was a huge burden for the competitors.


    On the other hand, Lu Yang was still as calm and relaxed as before, as if nothing had happened during the previous underground cave test ¡­


    "You ¡­" Is it really a monster? "


    Lu Qi looked at Lu Yang with astonishment and envy, and even a little reverence.


    Swoosh swoosh.


    Suddenly, two human figures rushed out from the forest in front and stared at Lu Yang and Yue Yang with malicious intent.


    "Hand over your Magic Cores s!"


    The tall teenager shouted at the two of them.


    "Two of you are in the middle stage of the The Psychic Realm ¡­"


    Lu Qi''s gaze was a little solemn, it could be seen that the strength of the two wasn''t ordinary.


    However, Lu Yang still maintained his composure, as if he did not put the two of them in his heart.


    "Attack!"


    The young man did not want to waste his breath, after he gave the order, the two of them immediately rushed towards Lu Yang.


    "Take care!"


    Only Lu Qi, who was in the early stages of the The Psychic Realm, was facing a great enemy. She activated her Spirit Element and prepared to attack, but Lu Yang, who was by her side, silently rushed forward.


    Boom! *


    The two sides collided heavily, stirring up a strong gust of wind that blew away all the crushed rocks and grass on the ground.


    In the next moment, the two figures flew backwards and crashed onto the ground as they wailed in pain.


    "Done?"


    Lu Qi was at a loss. She did not even have the time to activate the Spirit Element, and the battle had already ended?


    Lu Yang walked over to the two unlucky fellows and cleanly took their bags from them. A light flashed in his hands and he immediately broke the two Cosmic Bag s that recognized them as their masters.


    When the Spirit Element entered, Lu Yang flipped his wrist, and all of the Magic Cores came out.


    "Only three?"


    Looking at the pathetically few Magic Cores, Lu Yang was a little surprised.


    With the strength of these two, it shouldn''t just be this kind of result.


    "Hehe, you can''t blame them."


    While Lu Yang was still confused, a laugh came from his left.


    Lu Qi, who had just relaxed her nerves, tensed up again and looked in the direction of the voice in alert. Two youths walked out from the dense forest with a vicious expression.


    The clothes they were wearing were all marked with the red head of a wolf.


    "Shi Yuan?"


    Lu Yang recognized the person who just arrived. It was the participant from the Scarlet Wolf Fist Club.


    Shi Yuan smiled as he glanced at the two people lying on the ground: "These two guys are unlucky. Not long ago, they met Wang Xuan with Wang Family, and all of their Magic Cores s were robbed from them."


    Lu Yang nodded in understanding.


    Shi Yuan stared at Lu Yang, and said half jokingly: "The Wang Family is determined to win the championship, this time they have sent Wang Yu to participate in the competition, in the entire hunting grounds, there is only him, a cultivator from the Spiritual Spring Realm, if he sees us, there are very few teams that can keep the Animal Core in their hands."


    Lu Yang met Shi Yuan''s gaze. "Have you fought with him?"


    "Yes." Shi Yuan laughed bitterly and shook his head, "The Wang Family used up all of his resources this time and gave Wang Yu a first grade spirit treasure, increasing his fighting strength by quite a bit."


    Lu Qi''s face changed slightly, "Grade one spirit weapon? That is a weapon with Spirit Element! "


    Shi Yuan nodded his head: "His cultivation level was above mine in the first place, adding the Grade 1 Spirit Treasure, it is difficult for me to have a chance of winning."


    After saying that, Shi Yuan added with an unwilling tone, "If you''re barehanded, there''s still room for debate."


    Lu Yang laughed.


    "Although we can''t beat him in a head-on battle, we can still suppress him in a match." Shi Yuan continued, "We still don''t know who will be the champion of the competition with Wang Family."


    Lu Yang finally understood the reason for Shi Yuan''s visit, "Since Wang Yu is snatching Magic Cores from others, then if you all want to surpass them in numbers, naturally, you can only do it through the same method."

 C23

    Hearing Lu Yang''s words, Lu Qi immediately understood why Shi Yuan and the rest were here.


    She couldn''t help but become nervous again.


    Even if he knew that Shi Yuan had come for them, he would not be shaken by the slightest bit.


    Shi Yuan suddenly said: "Do you know how many Magic Cores Wang Yu that guy has snatched?"


    "How much?" Lu Yang asked.


    "Based on the information I''ve received, he has around a hundred and fifty Magic Cores on him," Shi Yuan said slowly. "Everyone is currently hiding from him, it won''t be that easy for him to find a target either ¡­ If we are lucky, we will be able to find a few more targets in this two hour period. The final score should be around two hundred and fifty points. "


    This number already made Lu Qi speechless.


    Shi Yuan gazed at Lu Yang, "How many Magic Cores do you have right now?"


    Lu Qi never thought that Shi Yuan would ask it in such a straightforward manner. Just as she was thinking about how to answer, Lu Yang''s voice came from beside him, "Including the three which we have just obtained, we have a total of one hundred and fifty-eight magic crystals."


    Despite knowing that the other party was here to snatch the Magic Cores, she actually told the other party the number of her Magic Cores ¡­ Most people wouldn''t do such a thing, right?


    Lu Qi gave Lu Yang a fierce look, but the latter didn''t notice it.


    "..." Or maybe he didn''t see it on purpose.


    However, Lu Yang''s truth had made Shi Yuan''s good impression of him multiply: "Haha ¡­ That''s great! "


    "Since Brother Lu is so honest, then I will tell you the truth. We have 128 Magic Cores here, although it is less than you guys, it is not too far off."


    Shi Yuan said, his gaze on Lu Yang suddenly became sharp: "How is it? Do you want to come and bet with us and bet with the Magic Cores in our hands? "


    Shi Yuan eventually revealed his purpose for coming here.


    Lu Qi was already frowning slightly, this Shi Yuan was not someone that could be easily dealt with.


    Seeing that Lu Yang and Yue Yang were hesitating, Shi Yuan continued: "You guys probably don''t want Wang Yu to become the champion either, right? Agreeing to this bet is the only way to stop him. "


    However, Lu Qi said: "Even if we want to fight for the championship, there is no need to fight with you, right? Isn''t it the same if you steal from other teams? "


    "There isn''t much time left, most of the teams are already hiding, waiting for the competition to end. It won''t be easy for you to find them." Shi Yuan laughed, "Being able to persevere to this point in time is not easy, even if you can find them, you may not have the absolute confidence to snatch the Magic Cores from them."


    Shi Yuan was right, even if Lu Yang and Yue Yang had the power to defeat their opponent, if they wanted to escape, it would be difficult to catch up with them in this kind of environment.


    "Therefore," Shi Yuan''s eyes burned with a fiery fighting spirit, "This gambling match is the only chance for both of us to fight for the championship."


    Lu Qi knew in her heart that what Shi Yuan said was true, it was false to say that he did not covet the champion, but against such a famous warrior, Lu Qi was not very confident.


    "Alright, I agree to this match!"


    Just as Lu Qi was in a dilemma, Lu Yang had already agreed.


    Lu Qi glared at Lu Yang again, but the latter still... I didn''t see it.


    Lu Yang continued: "But I have a condition, that the outcome of this bet will be decided by a match between us."


    "Sure." Shi Yuan agreed readily.


    Seeing that the two of them were ready to fight, Lu Qi could only sigh and accept the development helplessly.


    Lu Qi and the other person from the Scarlet Wolf Fist School stepped back, giving the center area to Lu Yang and Shi Yuan.


    "Haha ¡­"


    Shi Yuan''s eyes that were filled with fighting spirit looked at the young man in front of him: "Lu Yang, other than Wang Yu, you are the one I am looking forward to the most, let me enjoy this battle!"


    Lu Yang smiled faintly: "Then, take out your ability."


    "Alright!"


    Shi Yuan laughed out loud, he took a step forward, and his body had already rushed in front of Lu Yang as he threw out a heavy punch.


    Although Shi Yuan had only used Spirit Element on this attack, it was still powerful enough to make the wind blow. Before the punch had arrived, a powerful gust of wind had already surged towards Lu Yang.


    Boom! *


    Lu Yang clenched his five fingers, raising his arm and punching out to meet the blow.


    The two fists collided and created a strong wind that blew away the dust on the ground. It quickly covered the figures of the two people.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A series of boxing sounds immediately rang out from the smoke and dust, indicating the intensity of the internal battle.


    Hearing that, Lu Qi was shocked, she opened her eyes wide, wanting to see the situation, but no matter how she tried, all she could see was the dense dust.


    The continuous deep voice suddenly stopped, Lu Qi''s heart tensed, but silence only lasted for a few breaths.


    Then, as if to make up for the previous silence, a loud crashing sound suddenly came from the smoke.


    Bang!


    Lu Qi''s heart seemed to have been struck hard, following that, the two of them flew out of the smoke and dust respectively.


    Thump thump ¡­


    Only after Shi Yuan landed did he barely stabilize his body after staggering a bit. His chest was violently rising and falling, evidently, he had exhausted a lot of energy.


    However, his eyes were still fixed straight ahead, wanting to clearly see the situation of his opponent ¡­ ¡­.


    Ta.


    The other figure that flew out from the smoke and dust lightly landed on the ground like a feather, and on his seemingly eternal face, there was still that confident and calm smile, as if he didn''t care about anything.


    Looking at the skillful Lu Yang, everyone knew very clearly that the outcome had been decided!


    Shi Yuan was startled, then patted off the dust on his body, and laughed: "Lu Yang, you are truly strong, in this battle, it is not my fault that I lost!"


    Lu Yang smiled, but did not deny it.


    "According to the agreement, our Magic Cores will belong to you."


    Shi Yuan was straightforward, with a wave of his hand, a cloth bag was thrown at Lu Yang.


    Lu Yang smiled as he reached out to catch the bag.


    "I''ll leave the task of seizing the championship with Wang Yu to you." Shi Yuan wasn''t too concerned about her defeat, "Although I can''t personally defeat him, at least I can see him suffer a loss, haha ¡­ Lu Yang, you better not disappoint me! "


    After Shi Yuan finished, he cupped his hands together and left with his junior brother.


    Lu Yang waved the spoils of war in his hands towards Lu Qi: "The Magic Cores that has been delivered to my doorstep, is in my hands."


    Lu Qi glared at him snappily. "You still have the nerve to say that?


    "Ugh ¡­" Lu Yang muttered to himself for a moment, "I really never thought that I would lose."


    Lu Qi was stunned.


    Although she knew that Lu Yang was thick-skinned, she never thought that he would be so shameless ¡­


    "Bullshit."


    Lu Qi curled her lips and asked: "But then again, what exactly was that battle between you and Shi Yuan just now? "Covered in smoke, I didn''t see anything ¡­"


    "It''s nothing. I fought with him for twenty punches, but he lost in the end." Lu Yang replied.


    "It''s that simple?" Lu Qi looked at the teenager.


    "It''s that simple." Lu Yang met the girl''s gaze.


    Lu Qi was instantly speechless, that continuous sound of heavy colliding fists, didn''t seem to be that simple no matter what ¡­

 C24

    In the hunting grounds, the six hours of competition had finally come to an end. Master Old Man had brought along a few judges as he walked up the stage.


    From the moment the host entered the stage, the high platform became the place where the hunt ended. All the competitors that stepped onto the high platform were no longer allowed to fight with each other.


    Not long after, two youths came up on stage from the foot of the mountain, immediately attracting a lot of discussion from the audience. This was the first group to finish their hunt.


    A referee quickly stepped forward and took away the two Cosmic Bag s. After counting the points, they would return the Magic Cores s to the participants and the results would be announced after the competition.


    As the time to end approached, more and more people went up to the stage, and the judges got busy, to the back, and some of the later teams still had to wait in line to submit their Cosmic Bag.


    Lu Yang and Lu Qi also wanted to reach the stage before it ended.


    "It''s finally over!"


    Stepping on the platform, Lu Qi spoke as if she was making a declaration.


    Lu Yang casually swept his eyes across his surroundings. There were almost two hundred teams registering for the hunt, but only a few dozen would be able to make it onto the stage.


    "We have two hundred and eighty-six Magic Cores. Compared to last year''s championship results, our victory this year should be ours."


    Lu Qi said complacently.


    "Hehe ¡­" It''s only two hundred Magic Cores and you want to take the championship? You guys are too naive. "


    Just as Lu Qi finished speaking, an unpleasant male voice came from behind, and following that, two figures walked over to Lu Yang and Yue Shan.


    "Wang Yu, Wang Hua." Lu Qi''s face instantly changed.


    Wang Yu looked provocatively at Lu Yang, but the latter''s gaze stopped at Wang Hua and sized him up.


    Seeing that Lu Yang had ignored him, the smile on Wang Yu''s face could not help but freeze slightly. I''m not afraid of telling you in advance, but we already have more than three hundred Magic Cores with us, and the victory in the hunt is already in our hands.


    After Lu Qi heard this, the confidence she had previously immediately lessened by more than half.


    Lu Yang, who was at the side, looked at Wang Yu.


    With this said, the three people present were all startled.


    Even Lu Qi threw an incomprehensible gaze at Lu Yang: Their Magic Cores is so much fewer than Wang Yu''s, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle any longer ¡­


    Lu Yang maintained his confident look, not bothering to explain with a smile.


    "You''re the only one who can talk tough now."


    Wang Yu determined that Lu Yang was bluffing, and laughed faintly. He brought Wang Hua and walked forward, directly interrupting Lu Yang and the others, and handed the Cosmic Bag over to the referee.


    Lu Qi was once again filled with anger. "These two fellows are too shameless!"


    Lu Yang looked indifferent again.


    "Sigh ¡­" Lu Qi let out a long sigh, "Wang Yu''s proud expression is really annoying, and I really don''t want them to win, but, our Magic Cores can''t compare to them."


    "It''s still too early to admit defeat." Lu Yang said with a smile.


    "You have a secret weapon?" Hope ignited in Lu Qi''s eyes once again, "For example, how many Magic Cores were still hidden for me to know?"


    Lu Yang shook his head instead, "No."


    The fire of hope in Lu Qi''s eyes immediately extinguished, and at the same time, surged with a bit of anger. We have at least twenty Magic Cores less than them, so we will definitely lose! "


    Lu Yang still carried a confident and calm smile on his face.


    This confident look made Lu Qi suspicious. Could it be that this guy that hid his strength was hiding something else? But the difference between the Magic Cores and him was like that of heaven and earth.


    While Lu Qi was thinking, they were in line too. When she handed in the Cosmic Bag, Lu Qi purposely checked if the number was indeed two hundred.


    Letting out a long sigh, although Lu Qi was filled with unwillingness, she could only accept reality.


    Lu Yang swept his eyes across the arrogant Wang Family brothers, and suddenly said: "That Wang Hua also broke through to the middle stage of the The Psychic Realm ¡­ there must be twice the amount of people in the younger generation of Wang Family. "


    Lu Qi disapprovingly said: "The Wang Family is ambitious to replace the Jiang Family as one of the three great forces of the Qingta City, so of course they wouldn''t hesitate to spend all their resources on a junior ¡­ Otherwise, with the innate gifts of those few people from Wang Family, how could they have broken through so quickly in just a few short years? "


    Lu Yang laughed.


    After handing in the Cosmic Bag, Lu Yang and the other participants waited for a while on a plate. Only then did the Master Old Man walk to the center of the stage.


    "Cough, cough ¡­"


    The elder cleared his throat twice, and the chattering among the audience quickly died down.


    "This year''s hunt has ended. The results are now announced." The old man looked at the youngsters behind him and nodded expectantly, "The hunt this time is very intense. The participants have performed very well and have obtained better results than the previous years."


    "According to the rules of the competition, for those who are ranked in the top ten, they will be rewarded with a prize, the tenth place will receive a thousand Spirit Essence Stone, and each increase in rank will result in an extra thousand. Twenty thousand! "


    Walla ~ ~ ~


    Hearing the number of rewards reported by Master Old Man, the hunting grounds was in an uproar. The prizes for the first three were extremely tempting, for some of the small families in the neighboring towns, twenty thousand Spirit Essence Stone s was their annual income!


    As for those juniors, they had never seen such a large number of Spirit Essence Stone, and their eyes were all shining. Even they knew that the prize obtained from this competition did not belong to them.


    The old man used both hands to signal for everyone to quiet down. When the voices in the surroundings became quieter, he continued, "Now, announce the results of the top ten ¡­" Tenth place, Qingta City, one hundred and twenty percent! "


    The audience members of Song Family all started to cheer, but the Song Cheng and Song Jun brothers who were on stage were a little disappointed, they had originally thought that they would be able to obtain a better result.


    "This year''s competition is indeed very intense."


    Lu Qi sighed deeply. In the past, this result could be ranked around seventh.


    "Ninth place, Luo Xi town Wei family, one hundred thirty-three points ¡­"


    Master Old Man announced his results one after another, and the spectators started to cheer. The atmosphere of the competition was slowly pushed to the climax.


    Lu Qi nervously calculated the difference between the reported results and them, wanting to use this to deduce their rankings.


    When the Master Old Man announced the number two hundred and thirty-seven, Lu Qi then put down the heavy burden in her heart, "At least our second place soldier has been saved."


    Lu Yang was still completely confident, "Let''s keep watching."


    To be able to win the championship in the past, he had only won third place this year. This scene undoubtedly caused an uproar among the audience. Very soon, they realized that they were still too surprised.


    "Next up, announce the champion of this hunt ¡­" The old man''s sonorous voice rang out.


    "Hmm? Where''s our runner-up? " Lu Qi was confused.


    "The one who won the champion of this year''s Great Hunt, is Qingta City. Their result broke the record of three hundred points set by Lu Family twenty years ago, and their final score is three hundred and two!"

 C25

    The voice of the old man resounded throughout the hunting grounds, causing the entire audience to tremble!


    The juniors who were still in their teens were fine, but the elders of the various families clearly remembered and even participated in the hunt themselves. To this day, they had never forgotten the hunt nor the youth''s amazing charm.


    And that young man later on, had even raised his Lu Family to an unprecedented level ¡­


    Even at the peak of Lu Family, the three great forces still could not compare to it!


    "Is the Wang Family going to produce such a genius today?"


    Many people were thinking in their hearts.


    "Father, the condition of that kid, Wang Family, cannot be compared with the condition of third brother back then."


    Lu Wei said to Lu Tianxiong who was seated inside the Lu Family spectator''s seating area whose expression was not too good.


    Lu Tianxiong nodded slightly.


    Lu Wei was moved: "All those years ago, a small beast tide suddenly appeared in the hunting grounds, Third Brother, in order to not let them cause any harm to the other participants, you killed all of the ferocious Monster by yourself! This was the reason why they were able to achieve such astonishing results ¡­ With the strength of that Wang Family brat, it was basically impossible for him to do such a thing! "


    Lu Family Second Old Master Lu Xing also agreed: "That''s right ¡­ Under normal circumstances, it would already be difficult to find and kill a few dozen Magical Beast in the competition. The teams that enter the top ten would more or less snatch away other teams'' Magic Cores s.


    Lu Tianxiong pondered for a moment, then said: "The reason the Wang Family is doing this, is only to raise Wang Yu''s status. They wanted to use this hunt to earn their reputation and make preparations for the future! "


    The Lu Wei brothers nodded. Everyone already knew the intentions of the Wang Family.


    "Haha ¡­"


    At this time, a complacent laughter came from the side. Wang Zhenshan, who was seated not too far away said complacently: "Lu Tianxiong, I''m sorry ¡­ ¡­ Your Lu Family has maintained the record for twenty years, so from today onwards, it will be completely removed from the hunting competition ¡­ "


    The expressions of everyone in the Lu Family changed slightly.


    Wang Zhenshan continued to ridicule him: "With your Lu Family''s current situation, I''m afraid you don''t have the ability to break this record anymore, right? "Hahaha ¡­"


    The Lu Family juniors found it difficult to calm their anger, but they were helpless.


    "I can only blame Qi''er for being too disappointing!" Lu Wei said resentfully.


    Lu Tianxiong did not speak, and only sighed.


    "However ¡­"


    The voice of the Master Old Man on the stage in the middle once again rang out: "This year''s competition is a bit special, two champions have appeared ¡­ The other one is from Lu Family, who also received three hundred and four points! "


    The voices in the audience stands stopped for a moment, and then an uproar broke out.


    Same Score... Moreover, with such a high score, this was the first time this had happened in a hunting competition!


    Everyone in Lu Family was stunned for a while before reacting, followed by Lu Ying and the rest cheering excitedly.


    "A draw?"


    Lu Tianxiong also stopped for a moment. When he said the two words, even his voice was trembling uncontrollably.


    "Joining the championship?"


    A moment ago, Wang Zhenshan was extremely pleased with himself, but the smile on his face suddenly froze!


    "Haha ¡­" Lu Tianxiong laughed happily, "Wang Zhenshan, it seems that the name of my Lu Family will not be eliminated that easily!"


    Wang Zhenshan''s face twitched violently.


    "This... "What''s going on?!"


    The ones who were in a daze were Wang Yu and Yue Yang.


    According to their knowledge, Lu Yang should not have more than three hundred Magic Cores in his possession.


    Forget about the Wang Family brothers, Lu Qi had personally counted them personally, there were only two hundred and eighty-four Magic Cores in their hands ¡­


    "What did you do?"


    Lu Qi looked at Lu Yang, puzzled. In her opinion, it must be the doing of this self-confident guy.


    Lu Yang however, had an innocent look on his face. "I didn''t do anything ¡­"


    "Stop pretending. If it wasn''t for you, why would there be 18 points?" Lu Qi did not believe it.


    "It really wasn''t me ¡­" Lu Yang feebly said the truth.


    "If you really want to say it, you should thank Shi Yuan." Lu Yang explained, "Among the Magic Cores that Shi Yuan lost to us, two of them are Spiritual Spring Level ¡­"


    "The Spiritual Spring Level''s Magic Cores is worth ten points each!"


    Lu Qi suddenly realized.


    "However," she stared at Lu Yang suspiciously, "this result, you already predicted it?"


    "Of course not." Lu Yang said, "I am not a fortune-teller, how could I expect such a result?"


    Lu Qi did not say anything, but the way she looked at Lu Yang was filled with suspicion.


    Lu Yang sighed helplessly. He didn''t even have the basic trust between people anymore?


    "Haha ¡­" Master Old Man seemed to be very satisfied with the results of this competition, "This year''s hunt was quite exciting, to think that there would be two teams that broke the records together ¡­"


    The old man paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Yang and Wang Yu with hope: "Then let me announce, the champion of this year''s competition is ¡­"


    "Wait!"


    Before Master Old Man could finish speaking, the voice of a youth sounded from the stage.


    "Wang Yu?" The old man seemed surprised. "What do you want to say?"


    Wang Yu laughed and took a step forward: "Since we have spent so much time in this competition, no matter what, we should have at least determined the outcome of the match ¡­"


    As he spoke, Wang Yu looked at the youth in front of him with a provocative gaze: "Lu Yang, do you dare to fight with me to the death?"


    The goal of Wang Family was to be the champion, and the only one at that. Only in this way would they be able to obtain the greatest reputation, and they did not wish for this reputation to be shared.


    Once Wang Yu''s voice fell, the entire arena was once again in an uproar.


    Everyone knew that Wang Yu was a Spiritual Spring Realm cultivator, the person with the highest cultivation in this hunt!


    As for that Lu Yang, compared to him, he was merely a nobody ¡­


    Although he unexpectedly obtained 302 points in this hunt, the majority of people believed that he was lucky to have snatched a large number of Magic Cores from the soft-footed shrimps ¡­


    No one would think that he had the ability to deal with Wang Yu!


    "Although Wang Yu has issued a challenge, that Lu Yang might not accept it ¡­"


    "Nonsense!" I won''t accept a competition that I can''t defeat. "


    "That''s right ¡­" If he doesn''t accept it, he will still be tied with Wang Yu as champion, and once he loses, he will become the runner-up. "


    Everyone in the audience was discussing.


    But no one thought that Lu Yang would be so foolish as to accept the challenge.


    The smile on Wang Zhenshan''s face returned. "Lu Tianxiong, do your Lu Family not dare to accept this decisive battle?"


    and Yue Shan becoming champions was a pleasant surprise to them. They knew that it was fine to maintain this kind of outcome, but facing the provocation of Wang Family, not daring to fight was always a blow to their morale.


    "Lu Tianxiong, are you afraid?" Wang Zhenshan continued to provoke her, "Looks like you''re really getting old ¡­ You don''t even dare to accept this kind of competition! "


    Lu Tianxiong was a heroic youth when he was young, but after being agitated by Wang Zhenshan, he could not help but become a little angry.


    At this moment, in the line on the high platform, a young man took two steps forward. At the same time, a clear voice resounded clearly in the hall ¡ª


    "My Lu Family has agreed to this competition!"

 C26

    The sudden clear voice also silenced the large hunting grounds. After that, a bewildered gaze was cast towards Lu Yang, who was slowly walking out from the stage.


    "Yang Er, don''t mess around!"


    Lu Tianxiong was also extremely displeased with Lu Yang''s reckless actions, and shouted out.


    "Grandfather." Lu Yang looked straight at Lu Tianxiong, his expression calm and full of confidence, "Trust me."


    Lu Tianxiong''s and the youth''s calm gazes met, and his heart was moved. He actually couldn''t help but begin to hesitate as well ¡­


    Could it be that Lu Yang really had the confidence to deal with Wang Yu?


    "Haha ¡­"


    And at this time, the spectators had already erupted into laughter, they did not think Lu Yang had the ability to handle the Spiritual Spring Realm Wang Yu!


    "This idiot ¡­"


    "That''s right, why don''t you just obediently be first? Why do you have to go through so much trouble for yourself?"


    "This time, they don''t even have the Lu Family to be tied as champions!"


    The din was mixed with jeers of all kinds.


    However, Lu Yang''s expression still did not change, and even that faint smile on his lips, as if he did not care about anything else, had not changed.


    "Hey!"


    Lu Qi, who had finally reacted to the situation, stepped forward and pulled at the corner of Lu Yang''s clothes.


    The young girl''s pretty face was filled with astonishment and anger. "We have already won the championship, so we simply did not have any reason to agree to their challenge. Why do you think you are looking for trouble?!"


    Lu Yang laughed and looked at Lu Qi: "Champion... There was only one. "


    Lu Qi was slightly taken aback.


    Lu Yang continued: "Besides, don''t you want them to tumble?"


    Thinking about Wang Yu''s annoying face, Lu Qi couldn''t help but nod her head.


    "Then that''s it." Lu Yang acted as if everything was normal.


    Lu Qi finally reacted: "I want to let them down, but I want us to have the ability! If I agree to their challenge, I''m afraid that we will be the final ones to blame! "


    Lu Yang laughed calmly: "Don''t worry, leave the rest to me."


    Lu Qi was startled, and her heart began to pound.


    It was true that this Lu Yang had done this a few times before, and it was true that she would always let Lu Qi finish a ton of things. But this time, the one he was facing was Wang Yu, who was an entire realm higher, could he still perform miracles like before?


    "Hehe, Lu Tianxiong, looks like you''re really getting old ¡­ "His guts are actually less than that of a junior."


    Hearing that Lu Yang had agreed to the competition, Wang Zhenshan was overjoyed, and sarcastically said those words.


    Lu Tianxiong silently sighed, the depths of his eyes also had a deep sense of exhaustion.


    His Lu Family had experienced too many ups and downs, and it was already difficult for him to maintain his current state.


    Now, the young man on the stage who had proudly accepted the challenge, actually allowed Lu Tianxiong to see a few hints of himself, who had just emerged from the Jianghu. Not only him, but also the figure of the son he was most proud of.


    "My Lu Family has indeed been dormant for too long ¡­ Forget it, let''s just fight it out this time! "


    Lu Tianxiong thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head, as his muddy eyes suddenly shone with light: "Good! This competition, my Lu Family will accept! "


    Hearing this, Lu Yang could only slightly nod his head, as if this result wasn''t unexpected at all.


    "Haha ¡­"


    A burst of insolent laughter came from the stage. Wang Yu glared at Lu Yang and said, "Since you have already said it, you can''t go back on your words!"


    Lu Yang looked at him indifferently: "As long as you don''t go back on your words."


    "However, just this competition alone is meaningless ¡­" Lu Yang suddenly said.


    "What do you want?" Wang Yu looked at him.


    "Let''s bet on the wager." Lu Yang said casually, "Let''s bet on the prize money for second place, fifteen thousand Spirit Essence Stone ¡­"


    "Alright." Wang Yu didn''t even think about it.


    "And all of your Magic Cores s ¡­" Lu Yang added.


    "Sure." Wang Yu was slightly unhappy, but he was afraid that Lu Yang would go back on his words, so he agreed to it.


    "..." As well as that grade one spirit weapon you have. " Lu Yang added.


    "Kid, you better not push yourself too far!"


    Wang Yu''s face revealed an expression of anger, it seemed that Lu Yang was planning to strip off all the valuables on his body.


    Lu Yang glanced at Wang Yu: "Why ¡­ Can''t you afford to lose? "Even if you can''t afford to lose, you can still reduce the stakes ¡­"


    The muscles on Wang Yu''s face twitched!


    Some people in the audience had already started to giggle.


    It was clearly their Wang Family that came to issue a challenge. Lu Family was originally in a disadvantaged position that didn''t even dare to accept the challenge, but now that Lu Yang had said those words, why did it seem like it was their Wang Family that couldn''t afford to lose?


    "Humph!"


    Wang Yu snorted with anger: "I agree to the bet that you want to add! If there''s nothing else, let''s start the competition! "


    Lu Yang was not ready to make a move yet: "Wait."


    "What else do you want?" Wang Yu endured his anger.


    "Since our side has requested for an additional wager, do you all want to make some requests?" Lu Yang had a compassionate look on his face.


    "No need!" Wang Yu was about to lose his patience, "Our Wang Family is not as calculative as your Lu Family."


    "Oh ¡­" Lu Yang nodded his head, "That''s fine, anyway, it''s useless to mention it, it''s not like you guys can win."


    Puff ¡ª -


    When they heard this, some of the spectators couldn''t help but burst out laughing.


    Wang Yu, on the other hand, almost vomited blood from anger!


    "Lu Yang!"


    Wang Yu glared at the youth who had a carefree look on his face. He was so angry that his eyes looked like they were about to spit fire.


    Lu Yang did not seem to feel Wang Yu''s anger at all, he slowly turned to Lu Qi and said, "You can go down first, I''ll take care of this place."


    Lu Qi''s eyes still had a look of worry, but looking at this inexplicably calm youth, her heart felt a bit more at ease.


    "Yes."


    Nodding her head, Lu Qi turned and walked down the stage.


    The other teams also quickly left, and before long, only Lu Yang, Wang Yu and the Fang Chi Elder remained on the gigantic stone platform.


    Master Old Man was also very interested in this competition, he wanted to know just how capable these two young men who broke the record together were.


    "Both sides get into position, let the match begin!"


    Seeing the two of them standing still, Master Old Man gave the order.


    Dong!


    As the old man''s voice fell, Wang Yu, who had long since been unable to restrain himself, suddenly stomped on the ground, as his figure explosively rushed forward, flying straight towards Lu Yang.


    "Brat, I will let you know the consequences of being so arrogant in front of me!"


    In the blink of an eye, Wang Yu was already in front of Lu Yang. He punched out with his fist and the Spirit Element in his body poured into it at the same time.


    "Huff ¡­ Huff ¡­"


    A strange light surged on Wang Yu''s hand, and a burst of tyrannical force immediately formed and formed a fist force, quickly enveloping Lu Yang inside.


    "This is bad!"


    Below the stage, Lu Qi secretly cursed, the current Lu Yang was completely under Wang Yu''s attack, and even his retreat path was cut off!


    "Then Lu Yang lost ¡­"


    "I didn''t expect this match to end so soon."


    "How could The Psychic Realm have any chance of winning when it comes to Spiritual Spring Realm?"


    Looking at Lu Yang who was trapped in a desperate situation on the stage, everyone laughed in ridicule, the limelight the young man earned from winning the championship, had come to an end.

 C27

    Seeing how easily his attack was able to take control of Lu Yang, Wang Yu was overjoyed, he did not expect this Lu Yang to be so foolish as to stand there and be beaten up by him.


    However, from the moment he had completed the seal, he was already certain that Lu Yang would lose!


    Wang Yu shouted complacently as he swung his heavy fist at Lu Yang. Boom!


    "It worked!"


    Feeling the sensation of his fist hitting its target, Wang Yu was immediately overjoyed.


    However, before he could even smile, he suddenly felt a huge force surging toward him from the other side of his fist!


    Bang!


    A dull sound of impact rang out, and a wave of wind quickly spread out, shaking and dispersing all of the dust on the ground. Wang Yu''s body was also sent flying backwards by that powerful recoil.


    When Wang Yu''s feet touched the ground, he still took half a step back to stabilize his body.


    He raised his head, looking at Lu Yang who was in front of him as if nothing had happened, his face was extremely gloomy.


    "Unexpectedly ¡­" Knock Wang Yu back?! "


    Below the stage, in the audience stands, there was complete astonishment!


    That day, Lu Yang had also forced Wang Yu to retreat during the Underground Market, but that was a different situation.


    But Lu Yang was able to easily receive it ¡­


    This, this, this... In the end, who was the one with the lowest cultivation?!


    "Looking at the situation, that kid from Lu Family seems to be difficult to deal with ¡­" Wu Wen Zhong leaned towards Wang Zhenshan, "That brat is hiding too deeply in the water!"


    Wang Zhenshan''s expression was also extremely ugly as he said sternly: "That kid does have some skills, but Yu''er definitely won''t lose!"


    Hiss ¡­


    While everyone was in awe, Wang Yu who was on the stage spread out his five fingers, and out came a strong and impenetrable body, which slowly circulated around his fingers.


    "This move... Is it the Spirit Eagle Claw of the Wang Family?! "


    Seeing the strange light on Wang Yu''s hand, a few people in the audience exclaimed.


    This was one of the passed down skills in the Wang Family, it was extremely powerful, even if it was used by beginners like Wang Yu, it still could not be underestimated!


    "Brat, you asked for this yourself ¡­"


    Wang Yu stared at Lu Kong with a trace of fierceness in his eyes.


    Suddenly, Wang Yu bent his fingers into claws and rushed forward, closing in on Lu Yang in a fast speed.


    The youth didn''t even move his feet. Even his expression didn''t change in the slightest.


    "Hiss ~ ~ ~"


    Wang Yu''s right hand reached out towards Lu Yang, the sharp Qi tearing the air apart, and releasing an ear-piercing scream.


    He could imagine, if this move were to hit Lu Yang''s body, he would be either dead or crippled!


    "Lu Yang, quickly dodge it!"


    Below the stage, Lu Qi was shocked, she used all of her strength to shout out.


    "It''s too late to avoid it now!"


    Wang Yu laughed sinisterly, the eagle claws that were filled with formidable power pierced straight towards Lu Yang.


    At this time, Lu Yang, who had always been passive in his battle, finally made his move.


    Arhat Fist!


    He raised his right fist and punched out, and actually chose to clash head on with Wang Yu''s move ¡ª ¡ª


    Boom! *


    Under the attention of the entire stadium, the two people''s fists clawed at each other as a powerful Spirit Element rippled outwards, causing a few minute cracks to form on the stage''s stone floor.


    Immediately afterwards, a figure flew out from the center of the collision. Like a sandbag, it drew a parabola in the air before finally heavily falling onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    "Wang Yu..."


    Everyone''s gazes were focused on the figure of the young man that was lying on the ground. Their eyes were immediately filled with dense shock, and the huge arena descended into silence.


    The faces of everyone in the Wang Family instantly went pale!


    This outcome could be said to have exceeded all expectations. Even if it was Lu Tianxiong and the others, no one had the confidence to win against Lu Yang ¡­


    Those spectators, who were certain that Lu Yang was going to lose, were even more dumbstruck. No one had thought that the Wang Yu who was extremely famous within the Qingta City would lose so easily to Lu Yang, who no one had ever heard of ¡­


    "It actually ¡­" You really won? "


    Lu Tianxiong stood up unconsciously, his complicated gaze looked at the youth on the stage who had a normal expression, and felt as though he was in a dream, and did not dare to believe in such a reality.


    "Brother Lu Yang won!"


    On the contrary, those simple-minded juniors were the first to react, as a burst of cheers sounded out from the Lu Family seating area.


    "Tiger father ¡­" No son of a dog! "


    After standing there blankly for a while, Lu Tianxiong finally regained his senses.


    All the depression he had accumulated over the years seemed to have been swept away at this moment!


    Lu Family had been toiled for too long, he really needed a landmark victory to boost his morale.


    And Lu Yang''s appearance, was far from giving Lu Family a victory. More importantly, his appearance, allowed everyone in the Lu Family to see hope, saw hope that allowed their Lu Family to rise once again!


    Compared to the laughter and cheers coming from the Lu Family side, the situation over at the Wang Family side could only be described as deathly still ¡­


    Wang Family had originally planned to make use of this competition to make a name for himself and gain some fame for himself. He planned to make some plans for the future, and after seeing that his plans were going to succeed, he was forced to give his all at the last moment by Lu Yang!


    "I... "I haven''t lost yet!"


    On the stage, Wang Yu who was knocked to the ground had climbed up with much difficulty, and was staring at Lu Yang hatefully.


    Lu Yang''s gaze casually swept past him, as though he was shaking his head, smiled and ignored him, turning to leave.


    The arrogant Wang Yu was originally unable to accept the fact that he had failed, and upon seeing Lu Yang''s attitude, he became even more furious ¡ª ¡ª


    "I will kill you!"


    Wang Yu''s eyes flashed with a fierce light, suddenly he roared and rushed out with all his strength. When he arrived behind Lu Yang, he flipped his wrist, and a cold treasure sword appeared in his hand.


    The tip of the blade that was suffused with a sharp light pierced towards Lu Yang''s back, with this strike, Wang Yu had already made up his mind to take Lu Yang''s life!


    "Lu Yang, behind you!"


    Lu Qi who was below the stage exclaimed.


    Lu Yang, who had his back facing Wang Yu, seemed to not have noticed the danger that lay behind him.


    When Wang Yu''s long sword stabbed into Lu Yang''s back, the latter suddenly stopped ¡ª ¡ª


    Under countless nervous gazes, the sword finally touched Lu Yang''s back, but what made everyone astonished was, the incomparably sharp treasure sword did not stab into his back at all!


    "This?!"


    Wang Yu felt that the sword in his hand was like an iron plate, his mind that could not turn around was a blank, he was shocked speechless!


    Although Lu Yang''s Vajra Body was only at the first stage of not harming him, a mere first rank spirit artifact was no longer able to easily harm him.


    "Cheap Shot ¡­" It''s not a good habit. "


    As soon as Lu Yang finished speaking, a faint golden light blossomed from his body, followed by an explosive surge of immense power.


    "Bang ¡­"


    Wang Yu''s longsword was immediately knocked out of his hand and he staggered backwards, losing his balance at the same time.


    Before he could even stand steadily, Wang Yu had already turned around. With a wave of his hand, the flying treasure sword flew into his hand.


    "Chi ~ ~ ~"


    A cold light flashed in Wang Yu''s eyes, followed by the sound of muscles tearing, and at the moment the cold light disappeared, Lu Yang had unknowingly arrived in front of him.

 C28

    Lu Yang''s indifferent face, in Wang Yu''s eyes, was indescribably indifferent ¡­


    He only felt waves of intense pain coming from his abdomen. Lowering his head, he saw that the longsword had pierced into his lower abdomen and entered three inches into his body.


    "Chi ~ ~ ~"


    Lu Yang pulled out the sword that was pierced into Wang Yu''s body, and at the same time, he retreated.


    "Ah ¡­"


    Only then did Wang Yu let out a shrill cry, and his entire person fell onto the ground.


    Some of the sharper eyed people saw Wang Yu''s injury and frowned: That is where the cultivators'' Spirit Spring are ¡­ With his Spirit Spring destroyed, Wang Yu''s cultivation could be considered as crippled!


    "Little bastard, you dare injure my son?!"


    At the same time the shout was heard, a figure rushed out from the audience and appeared on the high platform in the blink of an eye.


    "Wang Cong?!"


    Recognizing that it was Wang Yu''s father, Lu Family and the rest were all shocked.


    Spirit Eagle Claw!


    Wang Cong bent his fingers into a claw, and the berserk energy turned into a gigantic eagle claw image, grabbing towards Lu Yang''s head with an incomparably sharp attack.


    To think that there was such a huge difference when different people used the same Psionic Skills!


    "Iron Eagle Hand" Wang Cong had bitterly practiced this skill for twenty years, and had already mastered this move to a certain degree. Even if it was a famous expert in Qingta City, not many would dare to receive this move head on.


    And with Lu Yang''s current cultivation, it was even more impossible for him to survive under Wang Cong''s killing move!


    "Wang Cong!"


    This sudden turn of events also caused everyone in the Lu Family to turn pale with fright. However, it was already too late for them to lend a hand even if they wanted to.


    "Roar!"


    At this critical moment, a roar that shook the forest resounded throughout the hunting grounds!


    "This pressure ¡­" is it a Magical Beast from the Spirit Lake Level?! "


    Feeling the deafening roar, an indescribable pressure enveloped the entire hall, causing all the cultivators to turn pale.


    But in the hunting grounds, there shouldn''t be such a high level Monster ¡­


    The roiling vicious voice made Wang Cong, who was about to kill Lu Yang, freeze up as well.


    When he finally reacted and was ready to attack again, a figure dropped from the sky and pounced towards Wang Cong with an incomparably ferocious aura.


    Wang Cong was so shocked that he had no choice but to change his moves to face the incoming attack.


    Bang!


    A heavy sound of impact resounded on the high platform as the Spirit Element formed a powerful shockwave that swept across the area and even flipped over a large piece of the floor.


    Soon after, everyone was astonished to see that the famous Iron Eagle Hand within the Qingta City had actually been forced back more than ten steps!


    When the Lu Family people who were about to unleash their power saw this scene, they could not help but be stunned.


    Even Lu Tianxiong, who was originally burning with anger, felt his heart tremble ¡­ That lion''s roar, that kind of aura ¡­?


    Swish!


    In the next moment, everyone''s gaze simultaneously gathered on the figure that had suddenly appeared on the platform.


    What everyone saw was a slim yet tall figure.


    "Lu Zhan?!"


    After stabilizing his body, Wang Cong quickly recognized the person who came and cried out in shock.


    At the same time, the older cultivators in the hall began to mutter the name that had disappeared 15 years ago ¡­


    Berserk Lion Fighting...


    "Ferocious Lion" Lu Zhan!


    "Your strength... have you recovered? "


    Wang Cong looked at Lu Zhan in shock. Everyone in Qingta City had heard of the latter.


    "It can''t be called a recovery," Lu Zhan said as his eyes met Wang Cong''s gaze. "However, killing you is enough!"


    As this incomparably confident voice spread, it made the hearts of all the experts jump!


    Lu Zhan''s injuries were not so simple to heal. This was something that everyone knew, but the lion roar and attack just now had all displayed his tyrannical strength.


    In the end, Wang Cong was still unable to determine how much of his power he had recovered.


    "Whiz!"


    When the two parties on the stage were in a stalemate, Lu Tianxiong also jumped up.


    "Third brother, you ¡­"


    The old man excitedly grabbed Lu Zhan''s arm, he could not even speak properly.


    "Father, I''m sorry. I''ve worried you all these years."


    Lu Zhan said guiltily.


    "All these years... You''ve suffered. "


    The old man squeezed out these words with great difficulty, and the father and son nodded at each other. The icy relationship between the two of them for many years could finally be considered warm today.


    "Let''s settle the matter here first."


    After Lu Zhan said this, he turned his gaze towards Wang Cong who was seated in front of him, as well as Wang Zhenshan who was sitting in the audience''s seats behind him.


    "If your Wang Family wishes to fight head on with my Lu Family, we do not mind accompanying you!" Lu Tianxiong shouted at the Wang Family father and son duo.


    Wang Cong''s expression changed, "Lu Tianxiong, don''t think that my Wang Family is so easy to mess with! The brat from your Lu Family injured my son, don''t tell me you want him to just let it go like that? "


    Lu Tianxiong laughed coldly: "Then what should we do about Wang Yu wielding the sword and wanting to kill Lu Yang first?"


    Wang Cong''s face changed when he heard his.


    If this matter really came down to it, it would at least be their Wang Family being in the wrong ¡­


    "Cough, cough."


    Just as the two parties were at a stalemate, the Master Old Man finally stepped forward as well. "Everyone, this is a hunting competition hosted by the City Lord''s Mansion, so please give me some face on City Lord''s Mansion and don''t make things difficult for this old man, okay?"


    Both Lu Tianxiong''s and Wang Cong''s eyes flashed.


    This old man looked gentle on the outside, but everyone in the Qingta City knew that his strength was extraordinary and that he was not someone who could be easily provoked.


    "Haha ¡­"


    Lu Tianxiong smiled at the old man: "It''s because we missed our limits for the moment. Since Old Mo is here, Lu Yang shouldn''t be in any danger ¡­"


    The old man could only smile, and turned to look at Wang Zhenshan.


    Wang Zhenshan''s face turned slightly green, but in the end, he still endured the anger and nodded: "Since Old Mo has already spoken, we will definitely give you this face."


    With that, Wang Zhenshan waved his hand and the people immediately rushed up the stage, bringing Wang Yu who was in so much pain that he fainted back.


    The Old Mo announced loudly: "This match, Lu Yang wins! The final champion of the Great Hunting Competition is Lu Family! "


    As Old Mo''s calm and quiet words spread out, the quiet audience stands immediately burst into applause.


    The people from various forces were shocked. They understood, with an outstanding junior like Lu Yang, coupled with the recovery of his strength, the strength of his Lu Family would undoubtedly increase by a lot.


    "The Jiang Family is weak. The various forces that are eyeing the status of the three great powers are ready to make a move, the Qingta City ¡­ "A storm is brewing."


    "The reason the Wang Family have been laid out so many times is also because they want Jiang Family to replace it. Since the Lu Family has destroyed their plans, I''m afraid that they won''t let this matter rest!"


    "Wild Lion''s furious battle has reappeared. I''m afraid that the long-dormant Lu Family will no longer be willing to be dull ¡­"


    Looking at Lu Family, grandfather and grandson duo, all the various powers had different thoughts.


    "Humph!"


    Wang Zhenshan stared at Lu Yang with a gloomy expression, killing intent surged in his eyes: The strength that this guy has displayed is astonishing, he will definitely become a huge threat in the future ¡­ I can''t let him stay!

 C29

    After leaving the hunting grounds, everyone in Lu Family was in high spirits. On that night, Lu Tianxiong even specially held a feast to celebrate their Lu Family''s good results.


    The main characters of this celebratory feast were naturally Lu Yang and Lu Qi, but Lu Zeyang''s father, Lu Zhan, was also present at the feast, which was an extremely rare occurrence.


    It couldn''t be helped, this time Lu Tianxiong was the one who directly called him over at the hunting grounds, Lu Zhan couldn''t avoid it even if he wanted to. Furthermore, the relationship between father and son had just eased up a bit, so it wasn''t good for him to pour another bucket of cold water.


    The conversation of the crowd naturally revolved around the two meritorious officials of today. Everyone in the family practically praised Lu Yang, who had made a name for himself, to the heavens.


    The words of them saying that they were the future of Lu Family, and even hoped that the two of them could make Lu Family return to its peak, caused Lu Qi to feel extremely embarrassed.


    "Isn''t it just a competition''s champion, is there a need to make it sound so exaggerated?" Lu Qi muttered to Lu Yang.


    "Yes."


    However, Lu Yang merely responded nonchalantly. He did not seem to care much about the praises that swarmed in from all directions.


    "I really envy you, you have such thick skin." Lu Qi curled her lips at Lu Yang.


    After eating all five dishes, Lu Tianxiong''s gaze once again landed on Lu Yang. "Haha, Yang Er''s performance in the hunting grounds today is really amazing ¡­"


    Lu Yang laughed.


    Lu Tianxiong was still staring at Lu Yang, but his eyes had already become serious: "Yang Er, you destroyed Wang Yu''s Spirit Eagle Claw today, but it doesn''t seem to be my Lu Family''s Psionic Skills, right?"


    "Mm ¡­" "It really isn''t." Lu Yang answered honestly.


    Lu Tianxiong and the rest were moved.


    With regards to this unique profound art, Lu Family naturally held some fear, if there was a method to restrain it ¡­


    "Oh?"


    Lu Tian''s gaze swept across Lu Zhan, intentionally or unintentionally, but he continued to ask Lu Yang: "Then what move are you using?"


    All the people who were curious about this, shot their gazes at Lu Yang at the same time. The entire arena quieted down, waiting for Lu Yang''s answer.


    Lu Yang still acted as if he did not care at all, "It''s not some special move ¡­ It''s a very ordinary fist technique called Luohan Fist, a first stage Psionic Skills. "


    "Hmm?"


    All the Lu Family people in the entire hall could not help but freeze for a moment as they began to suspect that their ears had not misheard.


    "One ¡­" A first stage Psionic Skills? "


    Lu Wei asked Lu Yang in disbelief for confirmation.


    Lu Yang nodded: "Yes, first grade Psionic Skills."


    Pa ta pa da ¡­


    Hearing Lu Yang''s answer, the hall was filled with the sound of chopsticks dropping.


    Even Lu Tianxiong, who was the Patriarch and was used to seeing the winds and waves, could not help but reveal an expression of astonishment from the wrinkles on his old face.


    "Wang Family''s Spirit Eagle Claw... If I recall correctly, it should be a third grade Psionic Skills, right? " Lu Tianxiong looked at Lu Yang in disbelief, "You said that you used a first stage Psionic Skills to break Wang Yu''s Spirit Eagle Claw?!"


    As if he had not seen the interesting expressions on everyone''s faces, Lu Yang said matter-of-factly: "Yes, that''s it."


    "Gulp ¡­"


    The hall was faintly filled with the sounds of people swallowing their saliva. Everyone felt their throats dry up, unable to speak for a while.


    Defeating an Advanced Psionic Skills with a Beginner Psionic Skills was already shocking enough, but don''t forget, Lu Yang''s cultivation was even one realm lower than Wang Yu''s!


    What kind of situation was this? A cultivator with a low cultivation base and low skills had actually turned the tables in a situation where he had no chance of winning?


    How was this defying the wind? This was simply defying the heavens!


    Amongst the people from the Lu Family, only Lu Zhan''s expression was relatively calm. He had seen today''s competition and had a rough guess in his heart.


    "A low rank technique might not have the same offensive power as a high rank technique." Lu Zhan, who rarely spoke, took the initiative to speak.


    Everyone''s attention was attracted over there. Everyone in the Lu Family knew that Lu Zhan was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, even Lu Tianxiong couldn''t be compared to him in this aspect.


    Seeing the doubtful look in everyone''s eyes, Lu Zhan said: "The power of the attack, is not only related to the cultivation level and Psionic Skills''s grade, at the same time, it is also related to the user''s ability to use the techniques ¡­"


    All the juniors were confused, while Lu Tianxiong and the others suddenly realized something as their minds moved.


    "Father, what does the level of usage of the Psionic Skills refer to?" Lu Ying asked Lu Xing.


    Lu Xing muttered to himself before continuing to explain, "Generally speaking, the level of use of the Psionic Skills by cultivators can be divided into four levels: initial stage, mastery, mastery, and extreme stage. The power of the Psionic Skills that each level can unleash is also different.


    "Take Wang Yu for example, although he can use the Spirit Eagle Claw, his ability to use it is only at a beginner level. If he can ''master'' this level of power to a hundred percent, then he can only display sixty to eighty percent of his initial level ¡­"


    At this time, the juniors finally understood why Wang Yu''s Spirit Eagle Claw was so much weaker than his father''s. It turns out he hadn''t completely grasped it yet.


    "Therefore," Lu Xing looked at Lu Yang with a strange expression on his face, "If the use of low level Psionic Skills is high enough, such as reaching ''Master'', then one would be able to unleash 120% of its power. Against high level but only a beginner level Psionic Skills, winning against it is not impossible."


    "So that''s how it is ¡­" All the juniors nodded in understanding.


    However, the strange gazes of Lu Tianxiong and the others were locked onto Lu Yang. "Yang Er, your Luohan Fist ¡­ However, he was able to reach the level of ''Master''?


    "Mm ¡­" "More or less." Lu Yang casually replied.


    Lu Tianxiong and the rest were shocked!


    Master of Psionic Skills... It actually happened to a fifteen year old teenager?


    This was simply unbelievable!


    It had to be known that raising the level of one''s Psionic Skills''s usage was something that required a huge amount of time and effort to accomplish, and the higher the level, the more time it would take.


    Take the master of the Wang Family, Wang Cong, for example, the Spirit Eagle Claw, was extremely famous in the entire Qingta City. This was because he had spent more than ten years researching this Psionic Skills, and had cultivated it to the "Master" realm!


    But how old was Lu Yang? He was only fifteen years old, and he had already mastered the Luohan Fist?


    This Reality... Too shocking!


    In truth, his usage of Luohan Fist had already surpassed his proficiency, to the point that it had even reached the pinnacle, a level that even Lu Zhan could not imagine.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Lu Tianxiong coughed dryly twice, and spoke to Lu Yang sincerely and earnestly, "The study of the Psionic Skills requires a large amount of time and effort, so ordinary cultivators would not spend too much energy on it. Thus, it is enough for most cultivators to master the use of the Psionic Skills ¡­


    "Only those cultivators whose cultivation has reached a bottleneck and can no longer continue to raise their cultivation will be able to raise their combat strength by specializing in the Psionic Skills ¡­ You are still young, and your cultivation still has a long way to go. You don''t need to spend too much time on this, especially since this is a first rank Psionic Skills. "


    With regards to Lu Tianxiong''s words, Lu Wei and the rest also agreed.


    However, Lu Yang didn''t think much of it. "I didn''t spend much time, I only learned for three days."


    When Lu Yang''s voice rang out, the entire hall suddenly became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

 C30

    As Lu Yang''s words fell, the Lu Family Hall also sank into a strange silence ¡­


    It only took him three days to raise the proficiency of the Psionic Skills to a proficient level?


    This was way too shocking!


    However, this was not entirely impossible ¡­


    Thinking about that, Lu Tianxiong, Lu Wei and the rest could not help but look at each other. In their eyes, there was a strong sense of ecstasy.


    Genius!


    Only geniuses who were rumored to be extremely talented in the use of Spirit Element would be able to do such a thing, which ordinary people did not even dare to think about!


    Furthermore, to raise the level of Psionic Skills to the level of proficiency in just three days, even if it was only a first rank Psionic Skills, it was still not something that an ordinary genius could achieve ¡­ This was indeed a monstrous genius ¡­


    As they thought about this, the gazes of the Lu Tianxiong trio could not help but turn towards the other genius of Lu Family ¡ª ¡ª Lu Zhan.


    Although Lu Zhan tried his best to maintain a calm appearance, the unconcealable glint in his eyes still revealed the excitement in his heart.


    With such astonishing talent, not to mention Lu Zhan, perhaps even in the entire Duanmu Region, there were not even two people like him!


    Regarding the reactions of the people from the Lu Family, Lu Yang seemed to have nothing to do with it. He was actually able to eat as if nothing had happened in front of the stunned gazes of the people.


    Lu Qi didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. This fellow''s mental strength was probably also on the level of a demon ¡­


    The feast ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and Lu Tianxiong handed over the prize money that he deserved.


    The champion of the hunt had twenty thousand Spirit Essence Stone as a reward, and the two of them split it evenly, each with ten thousand Spirit Essence Stone. He and Lu Qi shared the Magic Cores equally.


    As for the fifteen thousand had won from him, Lu Qi had insisted that she did not have any contribution points and were not willing to accept them, and so they all went into Lu Yang''s pocket.


    Furthermore, the 304 Magic Cores s that Wang Yu had lost, as well as the first grade spirit sword, were all in Lu Yang''s hands.


    With these things, Lu Yang''s pocket expanded by quite a bit, especially his 25,000 primeval stones. Even if he called it getting rich suddenly, it wouldn''t be too much.


    However, Lu Yang did not directly absorb it, he was not lacking in Spirit Essence Stone, he was only preparing to break through Spiritual Spring Realm, the absorption of the Spirit Essence Stone was not worth it.


    Thus, the next morning, he went to the largest central market in the city.


    Now that he had money, he naturally didn''t need to go to the underground bazaar. More importantly, only the central bazaar had some truly good items.


    The central city square was under the jurisdiction of the three great forces and was the largest city square with frighteningly high business profits. It took up more than half of the city and its prosperity was evident.


    Lu Yang then arrived in front of the Gathered Treasure House.


    Gathered Treasure House was the largest shop among the Qingta City, and belonged to the Jiang Family of the three major forces. Although the impact of Jiang Family had greatly decreased, this Gathered Treasure House possessed the rare treasures accumulated over the decades of Jiang Family, so the business wasn''t affected too much.


    Lu Yang walked into the Gathered Treasure House.


    On the first floor of the Gathered Treasure House, there was an extremely large quantity of goods, which could even be said to be numerous. Weapons, medicinal pellets, materials, and even Psionic Skills were all there.


    However, these items all had a common denominator. Although it was better than the shops outside, it still could not be considered a high-grade item.


    Lu Yang knew that the real treasures were upstairs.


    He walked towards a Waitress.


    "How can I help you?"


    Seeing Lu Yang walking closer, the lady asked first with a professional smile.


    "I want to buy Refining Pill Furnace." Lu Yang went straight to the point.


    Waitress looked at Lu Yang, and said: "Please follow me, the refining Pill Furnace is over here, our Gathered Treasure House just happened to have entered a few new Pill Furnace s suitable for disciples ¡­ ¡­"


    Lu Yang, however, did not intend to move. "What I want is a Spirit Pill Furnace."


    Waitress froze when she heard this.


    She would think that Lu Yang was just an apprentice alchemist, not only because he didn''t have the slightest mark of being an alchemist, but also because of his age ¡­


    One had to know that the art of alchemy was vast and profound. Without several years of hard work, one could not even learn the basics, and the youngest medicinal pellet in the Qingta City was already twenty years old. This fifteen or sixteen year old youth, how could he possibly be an alchemist?


    The Waitress advised with good intentions: "For beginners, normal Pill Furnace are already enough. Even if they buy higher quality ones, they will not be able to unleash the abilities that a Spirit Pill Furnace should have ¡­"


    After the Waitress finished speaking, Lu Yang said in an indifferent tone: "Although I am not an official alchemist, but I do know a little about alchemy, and I can unleash the power of a Pill Furnace. This sort of simple technique is still possible."


    Waitress looked at Lu Yang as he secretly shook his head: In the end, he is still young and vigorous, how can a Spirit Pill Furnace be so easily used? Even those apprentices who were accepted by the alchemists as disciples would need several years of hard work to do so!


    If alchemy was that easy to master, alchemists would be everywhere ¡­


    However, Waitress still maintained her professional standard when facing customers: "If you want to go up to the third floor, please go up."


    Lu Yang nodded, then was led up to the third floor by the Waitress.


    Therefore, they had also sent guards to guard the entrance. However, those who were familiar with the Gathered Treasure House knew that the ones who truly protected this place were not these Spirit Channeling grade guards, but more powerful people ¡­


    Lu Yang was led to the third floor and into a hall that was about the same size as the first floor. It was just that the items placed there were much less than the ones on the first floor, but they were much more valuable.


    "All the Spiritual Stove in the Gathered Treasure House are stored here," Waitress was also a little proud of the products here, "To tell you the truth, customers even know that people from the Medicine Master Guild are coming here to select and purchase Spiritual Stove."


    As Lu Yang nodded, his gaze swept across the surrounding Pill Furnace s. It was unknown if he heard it.


    "What kind of Spiritual Stove do you want? We have Spiritual Stove of different materials here ¡­ " The Waitress introduced them attentively.


    Lu Yang did not hesitate at all: "Which one is the best Spiritual Stove in your place?"


    Waitress couldn''t help but look down on Lu Yang. Wasn''t this brat too arrogant? Not only did he want Spiritual Stove s, he even wanted the highest grade one? Did he really think that Spiritual Stove were so easy to use?


    However, she still maintained a professional smile on her face, "The best Spiritual Stove in our Gathered Treasure House are at the third rank ¡­"


    As he spoke, the Waitress led Lu Yang to a shelf made of Hundred Years Aged Sinking Wood. Three Pill Furnace of varying sizes were placed there, and some strange veined patterns were faintly discernible as they emitted a brilliant light.


    "Grade three ¡­"


    Lu Yang''s gaze swept across the three Spiritual Stove in front of him.


    Waitress could not help but start to hate this arrogant guy. A third grade Spiritual Stove, how could he find its grade low?


    Even if it was the Qingta City Pharmacist Association, the number of people who could use a third stage Spiritual Stove could be counted on one''s fingers!


    Just as Waitress was criticizing Lu Yang, the latter''s eyes suddenly flashed.


    Lu Yang turned his head and looked at a corner on the floor. In that inconspicuous place, there laid a dusty Pill Furnace, obviously no one had bothered to take note of it for a long time.


    Lu Yang''s eyes suddenly lit up.

 C31

    Lu Yang''s line of sight, suddenly landed on a Spiritual Stove in the corner.


    The Waitress followed Lu Yang''s gaze, and when the Pill Furnace that was covered in dust entered her sight, her eyes could not help but flash a look of astonishment.


    Was it a coincidence? Or could it be that this youth''s gaze was truly so vicious?


    With some suspicions, Waitress led Lu Yang in front of the Spiritual Stove.


    The Spiritual Stove was placed in the most inconspicuous spot. If it was not deliberately found, most people would not have noticed it.


    The Spiritual Stove was about the size of a canteen, and the material it was made from seemed to be special as well. It was completely black, and there were a few dark red inscription patterns on the surface, making it look somewhat mysterious.


    "This is the Scarlet Tattooed Spiritual Stove ¡­"


    Waitress''s melodious voice rang at the right time, "It was made from extremely high temperature resistant black iron. On the surface, it is believed to be a type of inscription pattern that can raise the furnace''s temperature."


    With that, the Waitress paused, and sneakily glanced at Lu Yang: "Also, this is a Six Grades Spiritual Stove ¡­ and also the only Six Grades Spiritual Stove s. "


    Lu Yang''s expression did not change in the slightest, as if he had already known of this matter.


    "How much is the price?" Lu Yang asked.


    Waitress hesitated for a while, before answering the question: "This Spiritual Stove is a bit special ¡­ Although its grade has reached the Six Grades level, in reality, no one can activate it. Even the alchemists of the Alchemist Association would not be able to do anything to it. "


    Lu Yang finally understood why a Six Grades Spiritual Stove would be treated like dust in the Gathered Treasure House.


    Seeing that Lu Yang was not moved, Waitress continued: "To tell you the truth, this Spiritual Stove is a little strange. In the past, there were alchemists who bought it, but they burned it while it was refining pills ¡­"


    The fact that an alchemist could be burnt by a Spiritual Stove could be considered a miracle.


    However, Lu Yang did not think much of it: "That''s because they won''t use the Spiritual Stove."


    Waitress frowned, thinking that this guy was too arrogant. If the alchemists of the Alchemy Association did not use Spiritual Stove, then who else would, could it be that this brat did?


    Lu Yang did not seem to notice the disgust on Waitress''s face. He stared at the Spiritual Stove: "Tell me your price."


    "This Spiritual Stove is not for sale!" Waitress''s tone was already somewhat unhappy.


    "Not selling?" Lu Yang then looked at Waitress.


    "Hehe ¡­" Little brother, you might not know this, but because this Spiritual Stove has burned a few alchemists before, our Gathered Treasure House is extremely responsible to our customers, so it is classified as a non-selling item. "


    At this time, a man''s voice came from the door, two middle-aged men walked into the hall, towards Lu Yang.


    One of them was short and fat, with a face full of hostility towards Lu Yang, Lu Yang recognized him, he was the second stage Alchemist Chen An, the Mongolian doctor who often went to his house to cheat.


    The other person who spoke was dressed in the same style as Waitress, but with a higher level. It was clear that he was at a higher level than Waitress.


    When Waitress saw this person, she immediately called out respectfully, "Deacon Jiang."


    The Deacon Jiang nodded and looked at Lu Yang with a slight smile: "Little brother Lu Yang, are you interested in this Red Striped Spiritual Stove?"


    During the hunt, Deacon Jiang also met Lu Yang once.


    "I''m not really interested, but this Spiritual Stove is the highest grade one in your place, so I guess it''s alright." Lu Yang said.


    Hearing such arrogant words, the complexions of Chen An and the Waitress both changed. Even the calm and steady faces of the Deacon Jiang couldn''t help but freeze for a second.


    Six Grades Spiritual Stove ¡­ It was actually just "passable"?


    "Humph!" Chen An suddenly snorted coldly, "Brother Jiang, you still don''t know, but this young master from Lu Family is truly something. A few days ago, I went to the Lu Family to treat that girl who suffered from the cold and heat disease. Not only did this brat knock over the medicine I prescribed, he even slandered me for poisoning that girl!"


    "Oh?"


    Deacon Jiang had always known that Chen An''s actions were flippant and deceptive, thought that he was exaggerating, but he still looked at Lu Yang twice.


    "Little brother, you know a lot about pills ¡­" Deacon Jiang thought for a moment, then asked, "You also study it?"


    "I don''t know much about it, but I do know a bit about it." Lu Yang replied.


    Waitress glanced at him. Why did this arrogant youth suddenly become modest?


    Just then, Lu Yang continued, "But compared to the Master Chen, he''s still much stronger."


    Waitress almost vomited a mouthful of blood. Just by being "slightly knowledgeable", she dared to say that she was stronger than a second tier alchemist? This fellow was indeed lacking in modesty.


    Master Chen was also hit by the arrow while lying down, his face was as black as coal ash.


    "What an arrogant kid!"


    Master Chen clenched his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Lu Yang! "I, Chen An, challenge you in the name of an alchemist to a battle of potions. Do you dare to accept my challenge?!"


    When the Deacon Jiang and the Waitress heard this, their expressions changed. This Chen An actually started a battle of potions against a young man like Lu Yang ¡­ Moreover, he even used the name of a Grade Two Alchemist!


    It could be seen that Chen An''s self-esteem had been aroused by Lu Yang, and he did not hesitate to challenge Lu Yang as an Alchemist.


    Lu Yang scoffed, "Do you still remember that you are an alchemist? You actually challenged a The Psychic Realm cultivator who could not even form spirit flames, you have the nerve to ¡­ "


    Chen An''s face twitched!


    Alchemists could refine pellets without Pill Furnace s, but they could not concoct without spirit fire, and the lowest cultivation level for condensing spirit fire was Spiritual Spring Realm. It was impossible for Lu Yang to do that right now.


    Thus, Chen An''s aggressive challenge had suddenly turned into a bullying of the weak ¡­


    But Lu Yang had humiliated him time and time again, so he really couldn''t take this lying down!


    "If we really want to fight ¡­" Lu Yang slowly said, "Why don''t we have a competition to see who can use this Red Striped Spiritual Stove."


    Hearing Lu Yang''s suggestion, Chen An fell into deep thought for a while.


    In fact, amongst the Qingta City alchemists, it could be said that none of them had not held fantasies about this Six Grades Spiritual Stove, and Chen An was no exception.


    However, the Spiritual Stove was very strange. All the alchemists who tried to tame it had failed, and there were many who had been injured.


    It was only until a reputable alchemist received a strong backlash from the Spiritual Stove during the taming process, and almost lost his life, that the number of people who had ideas about the Spiritual Stove slowly decreased.


    Now that Lu Yang had suggested to try using the Spiritual Stove, it inevitably made Chen An''s heart thumping. He was never willing to do such a risky thing.


    Lu Yang, on the other hand, had a very relaxed look on his face. "The Spiritual Stove''s usage is also one of the basic tasks in refining pills, if you can''t even activate the Spiritual Stove, what face do you have to call yourself an alchemist?"


    Master Chen An''s face twitched again.


    Provoke, this was naked provocation!


    Even though the matter with the Deacon Jiang did not concern the spectators, they still laughed bitterly in their hearts. Although Lu Yang''s words were seemingly sarcastic towards Chen An, it was actually a slap to the faces of all the Qingta City alchemists.


    "Ignorant brat!" Master Chen''s face was filled with anger, "Since you want to die ¡­ I''ll grant you that wish, I''ll agree to compete with you! "


    Lu Yang was extremely satisfied with his answer, and smiled slightly.

 C32

    Hearing Chen An agree, Deacon Jiang frowned.


    "Little brother, this Spiritual Stove is not normal, if we try to use it rashly, it is very likely that we will be hurt by the backlash. This is not a joke."


    Deacon Jiang hastily reminded him. He also didn''t want his guests to have any problems at Gathered Treasure House.


    Lu Yang heartlessly replied with a question: "Can''t you control the Spiritual Stove well and not let it devour you?"


    Deacon Jiang immediately choked.


    Controlling Spiritual Stove was easy said, but it was extremely difficult to do it. Otherwise, this red striped Spiritual Stove would not have eaten so many years of ashes in the Gathered Treasure House due to the concern of the entire city''s alchemists ¡­


    Deacon Jiang still wanted to continue persuading him, but he was already stopped by Chen An: "This kid is looking for trouble, who can stop him?"


    After pondering for a moment, the Deacon Jiang finally did not make a sound.


    But he also made up his mind that he would have to increase his vigilance in the future. If there really was a problem, he couldn''t let Lu Yang get injured here, and he didn''t want his Gathered Treasure House to get into any trouble with him.


    "Then let''s begin." Lu Yang''s tone was still as calm as ever.


    "Wait!"


    Master Chen suddenly shouted and stopped. He stared at Lu Yang with sharp eyes, "Although it''s just a small test, but I can''t say that there''s nothing after a test ¡­."


    Lu Yang raised his eyes casually: "What do you want?"


    "Haha ¡­" Master Chen''s laughter was filled with greed, "If you lose, you have to publicly apologize for humiliating me time and time again, and compensate me for the loss of a hundred thousand Spirit Essence Stone''s reputation!"


    Hearing this number, Deacon Jiang''s eyes couldn''t help but flicker.


    Even for a force like Lu Family, a hundred thousand Spirit Essence Stone was not a small number!


    Lu Yang did not even bat an eyelid as he replied, "Sure."


    Just as Master Chen was about to be overjoyed, he heard Lu Yang''s following shocking words: "It''s just that if you lose ¡­ "I will trouble you to cancel the Alchemist Association."


    Lu Yang laughed as he looked at Master Chen, but his eyes were blazing: "I think, since you lost to a youth who isn''t even an alchemist, you won''t have the face to call yourself an alchemist anymore, right?"


    "You!"


    Master Chen was furious, he immediately clenched his fists.


    Lu Yang was still as calm and composed as before: "If Master Chen wants to change the content of the competition to battle, I don''t mean it, but do you have the confidence to beat me?"


    Master Chen was stunned again, his face ashen!


    Disregarding the fact that the Lu Family behind Lu Yang and Lu Zhan, just him alone was an expert who had defeated a Spiritual Spring Realm cultivator, and Master Chen was an alchemist, so his fighting strength was already weak, thus he dared not clash with Lu Yang.


    "Humph!"


    Master Chen snorted, his tightly clenched fists finally loosened: "Although your request is too excessive, my lord will not bother with you!"


    "Then, are you agreeing?" Lu Yang asked again.


    The Master Chen nodded silently.


    It was true that Chen An had been tricked by Lu Yang, but he also had his own plans.


    No matter what, he was a Tier 2 alchemist. Although he did not have the confidence to activate the red pattern Spiritual Stove, he could still barely make it light up some inscriptions.


    He determined that Lu Yang would not even be able to do this much, and at that time, he would use this weak advantage to win. As for Lu Yang, he might even suffer a backlash from the Spiritual Stove ¡­


    Thinking to this point, the anger on Chen An''s face dissipated, replaced by a sinister smile.


    Lu Yang maintained his calm demeanor. "Then let''s begin ¡­ Who''s going first? "


    "I''ll go first."


    Master Chen was worried that Lu Yang would be injured by the Spiritual Stove and interrupt the competition.


    Lu Yang expressed that he did not mind.


    With regards to this, the Deacon Jiang could only nod towards the Waitress, who then brought the Spiritual Stove over.


    Master Chen took the Spiritual Stove and supported it on his right hand, glancing at Lu Yang: "Watch carefully!"


    Saying that, a wave of Spirit Element poured into the Spiritual Stove from his body.


    The Spiritual Stove did not react at all.


    ''s expression changed slightly. Using his cultivation technique, he poured an even stronger Spirit Element into the Pill Furnace.


    The Spiritual Stove still had no reaction.


    Master Chen''s expression was filled with awkwardness. With a red face, he channeled all of his power into the Spirit Element and grinded his teeth as he channeled all of his power into the Spiritual Stove.


    As if the Spiritual Stove heard Chen An''s urgent call, and finally pitied this helpless master, the inscription patterns on the Spiritual Stove began to slowly glow with a red light.


    "..." A very weak red glow.


    Master Chen''s face was as red as a roasted suckling pig!


    But no matter how much he continued injecting the Spirit Element, the light shining from the Pill Furnace did not increase at all. On the contrary, it still showed signs of weakening.


    Master Chen knew that he had lost a lot of face.


    Thinking about it, he was actually lighting up the Spiritual Stove''s inscription patterns. This point was already enough to completely defeat Lu Yang, who couldn''t do anything.


    Moreover, he didn''t suffer any backlash from the red-striped Spiritual Stove. Wasn''t he stronger than those injured alchemists?


    Thinking about this, Master Chen couldn''t help but become somewhat proud of himself.


    He kept the Spirit Element back into his body, and the faint red light on the Pill Furnace that looked like it was struggling at death''s door finally dimmed down.


    "As long as you can make this Spiritual Stove shine brighter than me, I''ll consider it your victory."


    Master Chen said with a look of victory.


    Seeing such a despicable attitude, the Waitress, who did not have any good impressions of the Master Chen in the first place, could not help but feel disgust towards him. She actually somewhat hoped that Lu Yang could win.


    But when faced with a genuine Grade Two Alchemist, how much chance would this young man that spoke so arrogantly have?


    Lu Yang had already caught the Spiritual Stove in his hands.


    "You''re unable to even light up an inscription, I really wonder how you obtained the identity of a Grade Two Alchemist." Lu Yang said in a bland voice.


    Master Chen was so angry that he laughed instead: Brat, you can only be arrogant now!


    Weng! *


    The smile on Master Chen''s lips had just hooked up, but before he even had the chance to maximize his smile, it suddenly stopped.


    Because the red pattern on the Spiritual Stove on Lu Yang''s hand had already blossomed into a red light!


    It was not the dying glimmer of light that was activated by the Master Chen, but a bright red light!


    When the three people saw this scene, they were stunned. Even a tier two alchemist was unable to accomplish this, yet this 15 year old youth had done it so easily?


    "This... What exactly is going on?! "


    Even if it happened right in front of his eyes, Deacon Jiang still wouldn''t dare believe it.


    He was very clear about how this Spiritual Stove had changed owners. According to his knowledge, there was no alchemist in the Qingta City that could light up this Spiritual Stove''s inscription.


    There were at least five alchemists who were only one step away from achieving this, but without exception, all of them had suffered from the backlash of the Spiritual Stove, of which three were heavily injured and one was crippled!


    But now, the Spiritual Stove that many alchemists yearned for day and night, but revered, was like a docile little kitten in Lu Yang''s hands. Not only was the Inscription completely lit up, the repulsive effect that everyone heard about did not even occur.


    If not for the fact that Master Chen had also failed to activate the Spiritual Stove, they would have started to suspect whether the sword in Lu Yang''s hand was fake ¡­


    "This... No... Impossible! How did you manage to activate the Scarlet Tattooed Spiritual Stove, and what did you do?! "


    Chen An yelled, unwilling to accept reality. He no longer had the appearance of a master.

 C33

    Chen An asked Lu Yang loudly. Deacon Jiang and Waitress also looked at the calm youth in shock.


    Facing the Master Chen who had lost his composure, Lu Yang''s expression was normal: "I am just activating this Spiritual Stove."


    What a simple and unadorned answer, but it was so natural that no one could refute it.


    "You are all mistaken about one thing ¡­"


    Lu Yang looked at the spirit artifact in his hand, and slowly explained: "This item''s name is'' Scarlet Pattern Furnace '', and it is indeed a Six Grades Spiritual Stove, right? However, this Spiritual Stove has some special uses ¡­"


    Deacon Jiang immediately asked: "What special function does it have?"


    "Condensing Spirit Fire." Lu Yang answered, "Once this Spiritual Stove is activated, it can condense spirit fire in the furnace, to make up for the pill refiner''s lack of cultivation, and to refine higher level pills."


    Deacon Jiang''s eyes flashed.


    "Nonsense!" The Master Chen retorted, "As everyone knows, when alchemists refine medicines, they must use the Spirit Element in their body to condense spirit fire. The Pill Furnace''s use is to refine pills in large quantities and to reduce the technical difficulty of refining pills ¡­ But no matter how hard it is to refine, if the Spirit Fire is not pure enough, it will not be able to concoct a high level pellet! "


    Deacon Jiang knew the basics of these pills.


    In order to refine a medicinal pill, an alchemist needed to possess two abilities: cultivation and techniques.


    The purity of the spiritual fire condensed by an alchemist was determined by the level of the alchemist''s cultivation. The higher the purity, the higher the grade of the medicinal pills that could be refined.


    Generally speaking, normal pellets were divided into nine levels. The Spiritual Spring Realm that could condense spirit fire at the beginning could refine pellets of the first to third grades, and Spirit Lake Realm could respectively correspond to four to Six Grades s and seven to nine grades.


    As for the grade of the pill, it would depend on the pill refiner''s skill.


    For example, Master Chen in the early stages of Spiritual Spring Realm was able to condense spirit flames that could refine medicine pills below the third stage, but his own skills could only refine a second stage, and this could only be done with the help of the Spiritual Stove ¡­


    And now, Lu Yang actually said that the Red Striped Congealing Furnace could condense its own spirit fire?!


    If the Spiritual Stove was able to do this, it would be equivalent to breaking the restriction of the Spirit Fire on the grade of the pill!


    But was that possible?


    Deacon Jiang also didn''t quite believe him in his heart.


    The Summer Bug could not speak of the ice, and he did not intend to explain to these few people the miraculous use of the Fire Congealing Spirit Patterns on the Pill Furnace.


    "Chen An, you lost." Lu Yang said indifferently.


    "I didn''t lose! You must have cheated! " Master Chen refused to admit defeat.


    "Master Chen," At this time, Deacon Jiang couldn''t help but speak as well, "Little Brother Lu Yang was using it right under our noses, he basically did not have the chance to cheat ¡­ "Since you''ve lost, just admit to it. Bailing back like this is a little too unsightly."


    Master Chen stared at Deacon Jiang angrily. "Deacon Jiang, could it be that your Gathered Treasure House wants to offend the Alchemist Association?"


    Deacon Jiang was not afraid of this arrogant guy, "Master Chen... Chen An, don''t forget, just now you made a bet with Lu Yang, if you lose, you will have to go to the Alchemist Association to write off your medical records ah ¡­ "


    Chen An''s expression was as ugly as it could be: "Alright, alright, alright, your Gathered Treasure House is colluding with this kid''s ¡­ I admit defeat today, but I won''t let it go just like that! "


    With that, Chen An turned and left in front of Lu Yang and the rest.


    Deacon Jiang looked at the background that disappeared at the door and said: "This Chen An is using his second stage alchemist title to flaunt and deceive people at Qingta City, and often comes to take advantage of our Gathered Treasure House. Today, he has truly vented his resentment."


    Lu Yang smiled and did not reply. He pointed to the Pill Furnace in his hand and said, "Deacon Jiang, I want to buy the Red Tattooed Furnace. Please state a price."


    The Deacon Jiang laughed: "This Spiritual Stove has been of no interest to anyone these few years, even if it is placed in our Gathered Treasure House, it will only be a pile of dust ¡­ Since it is fated for Little Brother Lu Yang, I''ll give it to you! "


    The Deacon Jiang was so generous, it surprised the Waitress endlessly. The Six Grades and Spiritual Stove, they were already the highest quality spirit artifact, yet they gave it away without taking a single cent?


    Lu Yang muttered to himself for a while.


    However, he also knew that if the Red Pattern Furnace were to be sold at its usual price, he would not be able to afford it with his current amount of money.


    "Then, thank you, Deacon Jiang." Lu Yang accepted the Spiritual Stove.


    Deacon Jiang smiled and nodded.


    "Oh right, do you have any Yin Attribute or Yang type spirit medicine here?" Lu Yang asked.


    "There are a few," Deacon Jiang looked at Lu Yang meaningfully. "I wonder what rank Little Brother Lu Yang would like?"


    "Grade two and above, of all grades." Lu Yang said.


    "Please follow me ¡­"


    Then, the Deacon Jiang personally led the way and brought Lu Yang to the VIP room.


    Lu Yang bought quite a few medicinal herbs from the Gathered Treasure House, including the second, fourth, and third grade Yin Attribute s. He spent twenty thousand Spirit Essence Stone in an instant.


    When he left, Deacon Jiang still respectfully saw Lu Yang out of the Gathered Treasure House door.


    When Lu Yang''s figure had completely disappeared from his line of sight, the Waitress couldn''t help but ask, "That Red Pattern Furnace is a Six Grades Spiritual Stove and its price is expensive, why did it just get gifted out like that?"


    "It''s true that the Red Tattooed Furnace is a Six Grades Spiritual Stove, but don''t forget, before this Lu Yang, there has never been an alchemist who has been able to activate it.


    "That''s why we gave him a piece of scrap metal and he received a treasure. Don''t you understand this logic?"


    Waitress suddenly nodded her head and said: "Then there is no need to offend Master Chen for him. Although Master Chen hates it, he is still a Tier 2 alchemist ¡­"


    "Grade two alchemist ¡­" Being with Lu Yang is nothing. " Deacon Jiang smiled faintly.


    Waitress seemed to have realized something, but it was not clear.


    The Deacon Jiang continued, "The newcomer from the Lu Family is a bit unfathomable. Not only did he activate the Six Grades Spiritual Stove, he also bought a lot of precious herbs. What do you think was the reason he bought the Spiritual Stove s and went back to buy medicinal ingredients? "


    "Naturally, it''s for refining pills."


    Waitress blurted out, and then suddenly froze!


    That''s right, everyone could easily imagine that Lu Yang bought these things for the sake of refining pills ¡­ Based on this conjecture, the medicinal ingredients that he bought were naturally related to the medicinal pills that he wanted to refine.


    One of them was a Grade 4 Elixir ¡­


    "Could it be," Waitress''s eyes were wide open with disbelief, "That Young Master Lu Yang is actually going to refine a fourth grade spirit pellet?!"


    This guess was too terrifying!


    This was because even the highest level alchemist within the Qingta City was only at the fifth rank!


    Deacon Jiang was noncommittal: "Who knows ¡­"


    But he was certain of one thing: "The Lu Family will rise again very soon ¡­ And our Jiang Family is currently in a predicament. If we can get a good relationship with our Lu Family, it might become an exit for us to escape from this predicament ¡­ "

 C34

    After returning to the Lu Family, Lu Yang immediately locked himself in his room and prepared to refine the pellets.


    He took out the Red Striped Congealing Furnace, but did not pour the Spirit Element in.


    There was another secret of the Red Tattooed Furnace, and that was that the inscriptions on it were not ordinary inscriptions, but Spirit Patterns s.


    The Spirit Patterns could be seen as a special contract between a cultivator and the heavens and earth. Relying on the existence of this contract, cultivators could borrow the Spiritual Essence Of Heaven And Earth and convert it into their own, allowing them to surpass the limits of their own cultivation!


    The reason for the existence of the Spirit Patterns, was so that cultivators with insufficient cultivation would be able to condense Spirit Lake Realm ranked spirit flames, in order to create the highest level of Grade Six Pills.


    However, not everyone could activate the Spirit Patterns. After all, it was a contract with the heavens and earth that required an extraordinary amount of mental power to do.


    This was also the reason why not even one of the many Qingta City alchemists had succeeded in trying to master the Red Tattooed Furnace. There were even many people who had suffered a backlash ¡ª they had basically gotten the method wrong.


    As for Lu Yang, as a person who had lived two lifetimes, although the Diamond Physique he cultivated in his previous life was no longer there, the Spirit Power he cultivated in his previous life had been preserved without any hindrance, and it had even increased a little compared to his previous life.


    To him, activating the low levelled Spirit Patterns s on the Fire Rune was just a piece of cake.


    Buzz ¡­


    The Spirit Patterns began to emit a strange red light. The red light surged and soon formed a wall of fire on the inner wall of the furnace. The temperature of the furnace also began to rise rapidly.


    This meant that all pills below the Six Grades could be refined here.


    Lu Yang took out a second grade spirit medicine from the Cosmic Bag. With a move of his mind, the lid on the furnace opened by itself, and the spirit medicine was gently thrown into the furnace by him.


    Just as the spirit medicine entered the Pill Furnace, the surrounding flames eroded over, almost turning into a ball of dark green liquid in the blink of an eye.


    Lu Yang activated the Spiritual Stove once more and the liquid ignited with a bit of flame. Not long later, all of the impurities inside were burnt to ashes, only leaving a pure ball of moss green.


    At this time, Lu Yang threw in a few more supplementary medicinal herbs into the Spiritual Stove. Under the effects of the Pill Furnace, they were all quickly purified into balls of tiny liquid droplets.


    Immediately after, a few small liquids began to gradually fuse under Lu Yang''s control, and the liquids started to slightly expand.


    Lu Yang then activated the Spiritual Stove, causing the Fire Congealing Spirit Patterns to light up and the flames inside the furnace to burn even hotter. Under this process, the fusion liquid slowly shrank after a while.


    After calculating the timing, Lu Yang immediately retracted his fire, causing the temperature of the furnace to drop, the ball of liquid quickly cooled down, the liquid solidified, and turned into a dark green Dan Wan.


    Lu Yang let the Dan Wan warm him up in the furnace for a while before he took it out.


    Holding the Dan Wan in his hand, Lu Yang could faintly feel a strange Spirit Element, causing a hint of a smile to emerge on his face.


    This extremely difficult to refine Ling Ling Dan, could be considered to have been successfully refined.


    The difficulty in refining a medicinal pill could be divided into the lower, middle, upper, and extreme grades. The higher the difficulty, the higher the requirements in terms of the temperature at which the medicinal liquid was refined, the purity of the medicinal liquid, and the refining time.


    When using high level Pill Furnace to refine low level pellets, it could reduce the difficulty of refining them. Some pellets''s difficulty level could even drop a level, but for pellets of the "extremely difficult" level, it was impossible to lower the difficulty to high level.


    Although the Ling Ling Dan was only a tier two medicinal pill, it was extremely difficult to refine. Even a tier three or four alchemist did not have the confidence to refine it.


    It was because the Ling Ling Dan''s medicinal effects were gathering the Spirit Element within the cultivator''s body.


    And from the The Psychic Realm to the Spiritual Spring Realm, one needed to accumulate the Spirit Element and open up the Spirit Spring within the body!


    In other words, Ling Ling Dan could greatly increase the possibility of The Psychic Realm Cultivators entering the realm of Spiritual Spring Realm!


    This was why Ling Ling Dan were so precious.


    After refining the Ling Ling Dan, Lu Yang then refined a few other pills.


    "..."


    After resting for an entire night, when morning class ended the next day, Lu Yang took out the Ling Ling Dan and threw it into his mouth as if he was eating beans and swallowed it whole.


    The medicinal power quickly spread inside Lu Yang''s body, and at the same time, the Spirit Element in his body quickly gathered together.


    As he directed the medicinal power towards his lower abdomen, Lu Yang''s body trembled slightly. He had already opened up a space within his body to store the Spirit Element, which was commonly known as the Spirit Spring.


    Once the Spirit Spring was formed, the energy that was being injected immediately gushed out, and went through a complete cycle within Lu Yang''s body. In the end, all of it poured into the Spirit Spring, and a warm feeling spread throughout his entire body.


    After a cultivator established their Spirit Spring, they would be able to store the Spirit Element they cultivated and absorbed everyday.


    The Spirit Element of the The Psychic Realm were scattered all over the body, and could be said to be like a piece of loose sand. And with the Spirit Spring, this power was gathered together, and the power could be said to have greatly increased!


    After he finished cultivating, Lu Yang walked out of the room and saw Qing Lian quietly and prettily standing outside.


    The girl''s eyebrows were curved like the moon. Her green skirt was draping over the ground, making her look even more lively under the morning sunlight.


    "Lu Yang."


    When Qing Lian saw Lu Yang, she called out softly, and two cute dimples appeared on her lips.


    "Call me Brother Lu Yang." Lu Yang corrected him and asked, "Why are you standing outside the door instead of knocking?"


    "I feel that you''re cultivating in your room, so I don''t want to disturb you." Qing Lian replied.


    "Feel?"


    Lu Yang''s heart skipped a beat as he sized up the girl: "You''ve advanced into the The Psychic Realm?"


    "Yes." Qing Lian responded with an expression of anticipation.


    Lu Yang only nodded slightly.


    "Why aren''t you surprised at all?" Qing Lian was unsatisfied, "Sister Lu Qi, you know that I have advanced into the The Psychic Realm, I am extremely surprised."


    As if thinking of how Lu Qi and the rest looked at him with their mouths agape, a smile bloomed on Qing Lian''s face.


    "After cultivating for less than a month, you have successfully entered the The Psychic Realm. This kind of result is indeed rare, but considering that you have the twin bodies of Yin and Yang, and you have taken a few spirit medicines, it is nothing surprising."


    Lu Yang calmly analyzed.


    Qing Lian curled her lips, "I will also do my best ¡­"


    Lu Yang laughed as he patted the girl''s head.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    Just then, Qing Lian frowned, a look of pain flashing past her eyes.


    "The yin and yang energy in your body is erupting again?" Lu Yang also felt the slight heat transmitted from his palm.


    Qing Lian forced herself not to change her expression too much and nodded.


    Lu Yang immediately took out a pill and shoved it into Qing Lian''s mouth without saying anything: "This is a Yang Pellet made from Fire Spirit Zoysia, quickly consume it."


    Qing Lian, whose face was flushed, immediately swallowed the Dan Wan down as a warm energy quickly spread throughout her body.


    "Come into my room and circulate your energy."


    Lu Yang immediately brought Qing Lian into the room and sat him on her bed, then started cultivating.


    This time, Lu Yang did not intervene and help Qing Lian push through the palace. Instead, it was Qing Lian herself who began cultivating and recuperating.


    Only after half an hour did Qing Lian stop, as it seemed that she had already completely absorbed the Yang Yuan Pill''s medicinal force, and the Earth Terminus Yin Qi in her body was also being suppressed.


    "Phew ¡­"


    Qing Lian gasped for breath and heaved a sigh of relief. Her entire body was drenched in sweat, she was just lively and full of energy, but now she was completely exhausted.

 C35

    Qing Lian relied on her own strength to suppress the Earth Terminus Cold Qi in her body, but using it like this still consumed a lot of energy.


    However, Lu Yang knew that this was extremely beneficial for Qing Lian. The non-elemental Spirit Element s formed from the Yang Yuan Pill and Earth Terminus Yin Qi were still in her body.


    As long as Qing Lian could absorb it, her cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds, just like how she had levelled up to the The Psychic Realm.


    The problem was that the Yin Yang energies in Qing Lian''s body were acting up, and becoming more and more serious ¡­


    "I still have a Tier 3 Yin-Yang Energy Pill and a Tier 4 Yin-Yang Energy Pill. The Yin-Yang Qi in your body will take effect alternately, so next time you need to take this Yin-Yang Energy Pill."


    Lu Yang said as he stuffed the two pills into the girl''s hands.


    However, Qing Lian was unwilling to accept it, and said in a spoiled manner: "I don''t want it, you can feed it to me the next time you act up."


    Lu Yang said: "What if I''m not by your side?"


    Qing Lian said: "Then stay by my side!"


    "Silly girl," Lu Yang said helplessly. "I wouldn''t be by your side all my life ¡­"


    "Why not?" Qing Lian asked righteously.


    Lu Yang could only smile bitterly.


    "First, you should keep these two pills properly. Next, I still need to find a way to help you find a higher grade spiritual medicine. Don''t make me and my father worry about it too much." Lu Yang once again placed the pill into Qing Lian''s hands.


    This time, Qing Lian finally accepted it obediently.


    She stared at the teenager in front of her with a serious expression: "Lu Yang, you better not leave me alone!"


    Lu Yang laughed, "Don''t worry, at least I won''t leave until the Yin Yang energy in your body stabilizes."


    Qing Lian could tell that something was amiss with Lu Yang''s words, but just as he was about to speak, Lu Yang said first: "Rest first, I will be out on some business."


    Qing Lian knew that the things that Lu Yang wanted to do was related to his own Yin and Yang Twin Bodies, so he no longer played around with his temper and nodded obediently, agreeing to rest.


    Lu Yang left the Lu Family, and once again, came to the Gathered Treasure House.


    However, this time, he had changed into a different outfit. He was wearing a large black robe that completely covered his entire body, and even half of his face was covered.


    The business transaction Lu Yang wanted to do this time was a little special, in order to avoid being targeted by people, he decided to do it in secret.


    Seeing a Black Cloaked Man approaching, the two guards exchanged a vigilant look, and under their gazes, Lu Yang walked into the Gathered Treasure House without stop.


    Scanning the hall with his eyes, Lu Yang walked straight towards the appraisal room.


    As he pushed open the door and entered, Lu Yang entered a small room that was about three meters wide. There was a table in the center, and a chair was placed in front and behind each.


    When the middle aged man saw Lu Yang dressed in black robes enter, he immediately became spirited.


    His class experience told him that the more reluctant he was to reveal his identity, the more likely he would be able to bring valuable items.


    "Customer, are you planning on inspecting the treasures?"


    The Mid-Yearbook Master asked with a professional smile.


    "Yes."


    Lu Yang opened his mouth, but the voice he emitted was actually an aged male voice.


    Disguising the voice through the vibration of the Spirit Element was a very ordinary way of using it, but the requirement was to have an extremely high control over the Spirit Element. Thus, although everyone could learn it, almost no one knew of it.


    Lu Yang walked to the chair and sat down, took out a white jade bottle from the Cosmic Bag and placed it on the table.


    "Hmm?"


    The eyes of an appraiser flickered. Usually, only pills would be kept in this kind of bottle ¡­


    He carefully picked up the white jade bottle, first pulling out the stopper to sniff, then pouring out a Dan Wan.


    After confirming it was a medicinal pellet, even though he had mentally prepared himself for it, the appraiser''s expression still couldn''t help but change. When he looked at Lu Yang again, his eyes were clearly filled with reverence.


    "Yes."


    The voice that Lu Yang let out was still dry and old.


    The appraiser cautiously examined the heart of the Dan Wan for a long time, but his eyebrows slowly furrowed.


    To be able to serve in the Gathered Treasure House, this Treasure Mirror Master was naturally not someone to be trifled with. With his eyesight, he did not make even a single error in appraising any pellets below the third grade, but even though he could tell from his sharp gaze that the pellet in his hand was a second grade spirit pellet, he was still unable to tell no matter what kind of pellet it was!


    The appraiser''s face turned extremely awkward, "May I ask Sir, this... "What kind of pill is it?"


    "A second grade Ling Ling Dan can gather the Spirit Element in a cultivator''s body in a short amount of time. If used by a The Psychic Realm cultivator, it can increase the success rate by about forty percent."


    Lu Yang introduced the place at a leisurely pace.


    The appraiser''s face was full of astonishment!


    According to what the black robed alchemist said, the possibility of the Ling Ling Dan raising its The Psychic Realm to the level of Spiritual Spring Realm by leaps and bounds was extremely attractive to the various forces. After all, if it could obtain a certain amount of Ling Ling Dan, then the strength of the younger generation would be able to quickly grow!


    "This... This is quite impressive! "


    The Appraiser subconsciously sighed, then realised that he had spoken incorrectly, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Please wait here for a moment, this kind of elixir is beyond my ability range, I need to get an alchemist from Gathered Treasure House to appraise it."


    "Yes." Lu Yang waved his hand.


    The Treasure Mirror Master placed the elixir back into the jade bottle and returned it to the table. Then, he respectfully left the room.


    After a long while, the appraiser finally led a bald old man in grey back to his room.


    The old man had the pride unique to alchemists on his face.


    Lu Yang noticed that there were six golden pellets engraved on the old man''s clothes.


    "Grade Six Alchemist?" Lu Yang was a little surprised.


    The president of the Qingta City alchemist association, Master Ye, was only a fifth grade alchemist.


    "This is the Master Sun who is residing in our Gathered Treasure House." The appraiser respectfully introduced.


    When Lu Yang heard this title, which could shake the entire city, he actually remained indifferent to it, causing the Master Sun to look at him twice more.


    "Master Sun, this is the Ling Ling Dan ¡­"


    The appraiser carefully picked up the jade bottle on the table and passed both of his hands to Master Sun.


    Taking the white jade bottle into his hands, Master Sun took a sniff and then poured the Dan Wan out. When his eyes saw the object in his hands, they immediately glowed with light!


    Following that, a strange Spirit Element surged out of Master Sun''s palm and slowly wrapped around the Dan Wan. A faint stream of light flowed out, and after a moment, the brilliance disappeared, and on Master Sun''s arrogant face, there was actually a sense of respect.


    Normally, Ling Ling Dan s can raise the possibility of their The Psychic Realm entering the Spiritual Spring Realm by 20%. Even the best Ling Ling Dan I have ever seen can only reach 30%, but this one can at least reach 40%! "Feng Shen Shi said.


    Master Sun said seriously, his heart was not small.


    After the appraiser heard Master Sun''s words, he turned to Lu Yang: "Master, you want to sell this Ling Ling Dan?"


    "Mn," Lu Yang used Elder Qian''s voice to ask, "What price can you guys offer?"


    "Three thousand Spirit Source Stone."


    The appraiser estimated and gave a price.


    "It''s too low ¡­" Lu Yang was not very satisfied.


    The appraiser frowned and said, "Although there is a miraculous effect to this pellet, there is only one pellet. If there is a sufficient amount, the various powers in the city might be interested ¡­" "If you only have one, then the price won''t be low."


    "Who said ¡­ I only sell one? "


    That aged voice once again sounded within the room.

 C36

    Lu Yang''s words spread around the room, causing the two people present to be startled.


    "Then... How much do you want to sell it for? " the appraiser asked tentatively.


    "Including this one, there are a total of ten."


    Of the materials that Lu Yang had bought from the Gathered Treasure House, he had only made a total of eleven Ling Ling Dan.


    The appraiser''s expression changed abruptly, and that Master Sun couldn''t help but be moved: "May I ask ¡­. Were these ten Ling Ling Dan refined in one go? "


    "Yes."


    Only the first Ling Ling Dan Lu Yang refined was for testing purposes, the rest were made in one furnace.


    When the Master Sun heard this, his face was immediately filled with deep shock.


    Appraiser, after all, did not understand the path of pills, so they did not feel the same shock as Master Sun did ¡­


    Ling Ling Dan s were considered extremely difficult to refine in terms of alchemy level. In other words, even Spiritual Stove were unable to refine the pellets easier and it was extremely difficult to refine the pellets alone ¡­


    The black-robed alchemist in front of him had actually refined such an extremely difficult medicinal pill in large quantities? That was multiplying the difficulty!


    The key is... He even succeeded!


    "Who in the world is this?!"


    Although Master Sun did his best to control it, he still revealed some curiosity on his face.


    "Give your price."


    The elderly voice resounded once again, pulling the two people''s thoughts back to reality.


    The appraiser glanced at Master Sun, and this time it was Master Sun who gave him the price: "Ten Ling Ling Dan, a total of forty thousand Spirit Source Stone, right? Of course, if you still have any extra Ling Ling Dan, you can continue to buy them. "


    Lu Yang also understood that the Master Sun was worried that he would sell the Ling Ling Dan to another family. If he sold too many similar goods on the market, his value would plummet.


    "Deal." Lu Yang agreed to Master Sun''s conditions.


    Lu Yang took out the other white jade bottle that contained the nine Ling Ling Dan and said: "Also, I would like to request your esteemed building to help me collect something."


    "I wonder what sire wants?" The appraiser quickly asked.


    "Yin Yang Balanced Fruit."


    The name that came out of Lu Yang''s mouth was extremely strange to an appraiser who relied on appraising treasures to survive, but Master Sun''s expression changed yet again.


    The Yin-Yang Balance Fruit was a kind of Spirit Fruit used to balance the yin and yang attribute Spirit Element. It had an extremely special effect, but ordinary people would never use it, so it was very rare.


    Only an alchemist, with a certain level of experience, like the Master Sun, would have heard of it.


    Lu Yang was also very clear on the rarity of this kind of spirit medicine, which was why he wanted to borrow the strength of the Gathered Treasure House to search for it ¡­ The Gathered Treasure House had their own business network, and the amount of information they could obtain was far more than Lu Yang.


    "However," the Master Sun said, "the Yin Yang Balanced Fruit is a Grade 9 Elixir, isn''t it a little less than the 40,000 Spirit Essence Stone?"


    Lu Yang said: "This forty thousand Spirit Essence Stone is only a deposit, if your esteemed building can really help me receive it, then the price will not be a problem."


    Although Lu Yang could not even afford to have ten thousand Spirit Essence Stone, an alchemist was never lacking in money. Furthermore, the identity of an alchemist was a guarantee to one''s credibility.


    "Good ¡­" Gathered Treasure House will definitely try to find it for Master. "


    The appraiser was obviously very happy. The deal he had made today had allowed him to enter the top three this month.


    "Then how do we contact the lord?" the appraiser asked.


    "There''s no need for you to contact me. If you receive the Ling Ling Dan, place a pot of Twin flower at the door. I will naturally come and get it when I see it." Lu Yang said.


    The appraiser regretfully sighed. He originally wanted to leave this mysterious alchemist as his contact method ¡­


    After the transaction was completed, Lu Yang left the Gathered Treasure House.


    "Master Sun, that Lord ¡­ What''s the grade of the alchemist? "


    After Lu Yang walked out of the room, the appraiser couldn''t help but ask.


    The Master Sun shook his head and then gave a brief reply, "Mysterious ¡­"


    The appraiser was stunned: "You don''t even know about the Master Sun?"


    Master Sun muttered to himself for a while: "Forget about Qingta City, even if it was the entire Duanmu Region, I have never heard of an alchemist refining a second rank Ling Ling Dan to such a degree ¡­"


    The appraiser looked at Master Sun in surprise and asked softly, "Do you need us to investigate his background?"


    Master Sun squinted his eyes slightly, but he suppressed his curiosity: "Not for now, it''s obvious that he''s dressed like this to conceal his identity. If we rashly investigate, we might offend his taboo ¡­" Offending such an unfathomable alchemist is not a wise decision for Gathered Treasure House. "


    The appraiser nodded and said no more.


    The Master Sun then left the room, the appraiser looked at the background of the Master Sun, and sighed to himself: "The alchemist''s status is indeed very high, the reason the Jiang Family has been able to hold out until now is all because of this Master Sun living in the Gathered Treasure House. "However, this kind of life doesn''t last long ¡­"


    "..."


    Lu Yang came out from the Gathered Treasure House, went into an alleyway with no one around and took off the black robe. Then, he returned to the Lu Family.


    "Lu Yang."


    As soon as she entered the side courtyard, she heard Lu Qi''s voice. It seemed as if she had waited here for Lu Yang for a while.


    "What''s the matter?" Lu Yang asked.


    "Yes." Lu Qi did not waste any words, "This time I did indeed have something I wanted to ask you ¡­"


    "Go ahead." Lu Yang said.


    "Elder Sister Xinyu is preparing to make a trip to the Green Python Mountain Range in a few days, I need some people ¡­" Lu Qi said.


    "The Elder Sister Xinyu you spoke of ¡­ the one you are referring to is the great miss of Jiang Family, Jiang Xinyu? " Lu Yang suddenly asked.


    "Yes." Lu Qi nodded, "You should know something about the situation with Jiang Family. Ever since the Patriarch of the Jiang Family lost his life inside the Cyan Python Mountain, his Jiang Family grew weaker and weaker day by day. During this year, many experts in the Jiang Family began to leave, and even Elder Sister Xinyu lacked the manpower to organize a team to enter the Green Python Mountain Range ¡­ "


    Lu Yang was not familiar with his, and had even not seen his a few times. However, Lu Qi had an extremely good relationship with her.


    "I know that you don''t have any relationship with Elder Sister Xinyu, just treat it as me begging you ¡­ Can you just sell me a personal favor? " Lu Qi said sincerely.


    "Why did they enter the Green Python Mountain Range?" Lu Yang asked instead of answering.


    "It''s to find a type of medicinal ingredient ¡­" I''m not too sure about the specifics, but it should be the inner circle. " Lu Qi added, "I heard that the ''Moonlight Leviathan'' has appeared in the inner circle recently. That Monster is extremely ferocious.


    Lu Yang asked curiously, "So ¡­ It''s not that Miss Jiang is looking for someone to help her? "


    Lu Qi laughed bitterly: "With her current personality, why would she ask for someone else''s help?"


    "Alright then ¡­ "I agreed."


    Lu Yang thought about it, he also planned to make a trip into the Green Python Mountain Range, and it would be fine if he could help Jiang Xinyu along the way.


    Lu Qi was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Lu Yang, thank you!"

 C37

    Qingta City entrance, door.


    A dozen or so cultivators were gathered here, and most of them were wearing the same set of clothes. Those who were familiar with them could tell at a glance that these were people from Jiang Family, and their leader was a young woman in her early twenties.


    Jiang Xinyu wore a light yellow long skirt, and her three thousand green hair was tied up with a string of jade beads. Her eyes were bright like the stars, but her gaze was cold like ice.


    "The appointed time is over. In my opinion, that kid from Lu Family won''t come, right?"


    A young man with a rather feminine appearance walked to Jiang Xinyu''s side and ridiculed: "After all, our goal this time is the Green Python Mountain Range''s inner circle, and there are quite a few Spiritual Spring Level''s Monster roaming about there.


    Jiang Xinyu''s expression was still cold and unchanging.


    Zhou Shao, who had spoken previously, spoke again: "That kid''s performance was indeed outstanding during the hunt, but that''s all he''s got. I also held the championship before, and am different from that brat, I am the only victor, not a tie."


    Jiang Xinyu said expressionlessly: "Rumor has it that he defeated Wang Yu who had already advanced into the Spiritual Spring Realm in the hunt, can you do such a thing?"


    Zhou Shao paused for a moment, then said: "I think that brat was only lucky for a moment, and managed to win by fluke, or else Wang Yu would have died on the outside, and wouldn''t even be able to withstand a single blow. In the end, that brat is still only a The Psychic Realm cultivator.


    Jiang Xinyu muttered to herself irresolutely. At this time, the figure of a youth who was walking over from not too far away entered their line of sight.


    "He''s here."


    Jiang Xinyu''s voice was still cold and emotionless.


    Not long after, Lu Yang arrived in front of everyone, Jiang Xinyu and Zhou Shao also went up to greet them.


    "You''ve finally appeared. We thought you were afraid of the dangers of being surrounded by others, so we didn''t come!"


    Zhou Shao smiled lightly at Lu Yang and ridiculed.


    Lu Yang said embarrassedly: "I''m sorry, after all, we''re heading to the inner circle. There might be some danger, so I spent more time preparing ¡­"


    Zhou Shao said coldly: "Since you''re afraid of the dangers within, then we should go. There''s no need to waste everyone''s time."


    Glancing at him, Lu Yang said, "It''s not that I''m afraid of encountering danger, it''s just that I''m afraid that you guys might be in danger and I might not be able to help in time ¡­"


    Zhou Shao was startled, but the sneer on his face immediately changed to anger: "You really think you''re important? If it wasn''t for that little girl Lu Qi, we wouldn''t even want to bring a burden like you into the Cyan Python Mountain! "


    Jiang Xinyu seemed to be dissatisfied with Lu Yang''s words: "This time, joining the team for you was purely Lu Qi''s idea, I do not think that your joining will be of much help to us, but at least, do not give us any trouble."


    Lu Yang smiled and nodded, he did not care about the attitude of the two.


    "Let''s go."


    With Jiang Xinyu''s order, they no longer cared about Lu Yang and turned around, bringing everyone towards the Green Python Mountain Range.


    The Green Python Mountain Range was a huge mountain range, and like a gigantic cyan python, it pierced through the entire Azure Python County, hence the name.


    According to the Magical Beast''s area of activity, the Green Python Mountain Range could be divided into the outer ring and inner ring. The outer ring was mainly for Spirit Channeling level Magical Beast while the inner ring was where the Spiritual Spring Level s were located.


    "What is our purpose for entering the Green Python Mountain Range this time?"


    Lu Yang asked one of the leading guards of Jiang Family.


    The leader of the guards, Luo Shan, replied, "To find the ''Dragonblood Herb''."


    Lu Yang raised his brows.


    Dragonblood Herb s, Six Grades medicines, had an extremely strong ability to replenish blood and heal injuries, but the growth conditions were extremely harsh and could not be artificially nurtured, thus it was extremely rare.


    "This kind of Spiritual Plant, it must have parasitized within the body of a Magical Beast that possesses the bloodline of the dragon clan when it was still a seed. When it grows, it must absorb all of the host''s bloodline power, and in the end, break out of the body to kill the host."


    Lu Yang also fully understood this type of spirit medicine.


    Luo Shan looked at him in surprise. "Young Master Lu Yang has researched about pills too?"


    "A little." Lu Yang casually replied.


    Luo Shan was startled, this, was not at the level of just knowing something ¡­


    Back then, when Master Sun came to the Qingta City to inquire about this "Dragonblood Herb," even the famous masters of the Alchemist Association knew nothing about it. It was only because the Patriarch of the Jiang Family had heard of it by chance that he stood out amongst the competing forces and invited Master Sun to Gathered Treasure House!


    If Lu Yang only had such a detailed understanding of Dragonblood Herb s and only knew a little about medicinal herbs, then what would the masters of the Alchemist Guild be considered ¡­


    This couldn''t help but cause Luo Shan to have a higher opinion of him.


    "Dragonblood Herb are very rare. Originally, Monster with the blood of a dragon are already very rare, and they even need to live in the body of a Herba Phellodendri. Even so, the survival rate of the Herba Phellodendri is still less than one in ten thousand... So the growth of Dragonblood Herb can only be said to be due to luck, and how are you so certain that there is such an elixir in Green Python Mountain Range? " Lu Yang asked.


    This wasn''t really a secret in the Qingta City, so Luo Shan truthfully told him: "This news was originally brought here by the Master Sun. We are not too sure about the specifics either. In short, the Master Sun obtained the information from somewhere, saying that there were Dragonblood Herb in the Green Python Mountain Range, and that''s why the Master Sun came to the Qingta City ¡­


    "However, it was inconvenient for Master Sun to search for him alone. At that time, he had asked the entire city to gather any forces willing to help, and set a two-year period. In return, Master Sun promised to help any forces who were willing to stay there for two years.


    Lu Yang nodded, he finally understood why the Gathered Treasure House had a Grade Six Alchemist overseeing it.


    "In the past year and a half, our Jiang Family''s search party have searched almost every inch of the surrounding area. That''s why we are preparing to enter the inner circle this time." Luo Shan added.


    Lu Yang swept his eyes across the group of people with Jiang Family, and saw that the leader of the group, Jiang Xinyu, was a mid stage Spirit Spring cultivator, and Zhou Shao, who had been by her side the entire way, also had the same cultivation level as them, the rest of them were The Psychic Realm, and as the captain of the guards, Luo Shan was in the late stage of the Spirit Opening Realm.


    Even though it was not a big problem for such a team to enter the inner circle of the Green Python Mountain Range, they could not go too deep. If they were to encounter a large number of Spiritual Spring Level Monster, they might not be able to escape.


    "Haha ¡­"


    Seemingly seeing through Lu Yang''s thoughts, Luo Shan laughed somewhat embarrassedly: "You should know about our Jiang Family situation, right? It wasn''t easy to gather such a team ¡­ "And the area that we plan to explore this time won''t be too deep, so it shouldn''t be a problem."


    Finally, Luo Shan added: "If you encounter any danger, please stay by my side as much as possible. The young miss had especially instructed me to protect the safety of Young Master Lu Yang. "


    "Oh?"


    These words surprised Lu Yang. That ice-cold Jiang Xinyu actually cared so much about him?


    "However ¡­" Lu Yang smiled at Luo Shan, "Your young miss seems to have made a mistake, I''m afraid that I am the one in this team who does not need protection the most ¡­"

 C38

    The truth that came from Lu Yang''s mouth caused Luo Shan to be involuntarily startled.


    Although he had heard about Lu Yang before, he was the same as Jiang Xinyu and did not think that Lu Yang was that powerful.


    However, he just smiled and didn''t say anything.


    After a long while, Jiang Family and the rest entered the Green Python Mountain Range.


    The entrance of this group of Magical Beast also quickly attracted the attention of the Monster that resided in the mountain range. Magical Beast s who attacked them from the outside were easily taken care of by the Jiang Family guards.


    Along the way, they had even encountered a group of Spirit Channeling Demon Wolf. Under Zhou Shao''s intentional display of strength, relying on the strength of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritual Spring Realm meant that he would be able to pass through them without danger.


    On the other hand, Luo Shan loyally carried out Jiang Xinyu''s orders, taking care of Lu Yang along the way, to the point where he did not even give him the chance to make a move.


    It was evening.


    Boom! *


    At the front of the line, there was the sound of a heavy strike, followed by the sound of a wolf being hit flying. It crashed into a giant tree behind and died on the spot.


    Only then did the tense nerves of the people with Jiang Family relax.


    "Spiritual Spring Realm''s Monster is only so-so."


    At the front of the crowd, Zhou Shao who had finished his Demon Wolf, walked back to the group in a complacent manner.


    Everyone in Jiang Family naturally couldn''t help but look at the young expert with reverence. Someone with strength would always receive respect from everyone.


    "As expected of the young master of the Spirit Serpent Sect ¡­"


    Seeing Zhou Shao''s actions, Luo Shan couldn''t help but sigh.


    Zhou Shao was already in the middle stage of the Spiritual Spring Realm at such a young age, so these results were extremely eye-catching even in the Qingta City.


    "Xin Yu, did you see that? Even if the Wolf With Yin Wind were under my command, it wouldn''t be able to take more than three moves. "


    Zhou Shao said as he walked in front of Jiang Xinyu.


    Jiang Xinyu answered with an expressionless face, as if she didn''t care much about it.


    When Zhou Shao was smashed by Jiang Xinyu, he was immediately angered. Coincidentally, Lu Yang, who was not far away, entered his line of sight.


    "Some people are really relaxed. The reason he joined was to increase the strength of the team, but now he wants us to protect him ¡­" This trip into the mountain was quite comfortable. "


    Zhou Shao sarcastically said.


    Lu Yang was not bothered by this, but just as he was about to ridicule everyone, Lu Yang''s face suddenly changed: "Everyone be on alert!"


    The sudden shout startled everyone who had just relaxed and they couldn''t react for a while.


    Zhou Shao sneered: What are you guarding for? Didn''t you see that the Wolf With Yin Wind was taken care of by me!? "


    Lu Yang swept his gaze across him and explained in a baffled manner: "The Wolf With Yin Wind s are group living Magical Beast, and most of them move out in groups. Since Wolf With Yin Wind have appeared here, their main group should not be too far away."


    Zhou Shao said in disdain, "Even if there were other Wolf With Yin Wind nearby, we would have sufficient time to leave ¡­"


    "There''s no time." Lu Yang''s face became a little more solemn, "The sounds of battle has already caught their attention, now that group of Wolf With Yin Wind, have surrounded us ¡­"


    The sneer on Zhou Shao''s face became even more pronounced: "Truly ridiculous, where are the Wolf With Yin Wind found around here ¡­ It is ridiculous to say that it is surrounded! "


    Awoo ¡ª


    But just as Zhou Shao finished speaking, a wolf howl sounded out from within the forest.


    Everyone''s faces suddenly changed drastically!


    "Prepare to fight!"


    Jiang Xinyu immediately gave the order.


    The Jiang Family people who were somewhat panicking immediately tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands once again.


    Before Jiang Xinyu looked around, his gaze swept across Lu Yang''s body. Then, she saw that there were shadows flickering in the forest, and evil wolves with fierce gazes had appeared one after another. They surrounded and the rest.


    "Thirty-four ¡­"


    After quickly looking around, Jiang Xinyu finally found the number of Magical Beast.


    "Thirty-eight." Lu Yang corrected him.


    Jiang Xinyu was slightly taken aback.


    She felt that her eyesight was quite good. Just now, she hadn''t taken a casual sweep, but had instead carefully counted the number of her opponents. Logically speaking, there shouldn''t be any mistakes.


    With some suspicion, Jiang Xinyu looked around again, and the result was still thirty-four.


    "There are four hidden in the dark." As if they saw through Jiang Xinyu''s doubt, Lu Yang explained, "The Wolf With Yin Wind are a very cunning type of Monster, so their battle strength isn''t considered strong within the Spiritual Spring Level, but it''s more dangerous than normal Spiritual Spring Level and Magical Beast."


    Everyone could see how cunning the Wolf With Yin Wind was. Right now, the many evil wolves surrounded the people from Jiang Family, while the leading wolf carefully hid behind the wolves and commanded them. It was obvious that the leader was aware that there were powerful people in the group and was not easily in danger.


    Jiang Xinyu was skeptical, but continued to carefully look at her surroundings. The encirclement gradually grew tighter, but she did not see the four Magical Beast that Lu Yang had mentioned were lying in ambush.


    "Now is not the time to count!"


    Zhou Shao''s face had just been smacked across from doubt due to Lu Yang, and the anger in his heart was not going well, "It''s better to quickly think of a way to break through this encirclement!"


    "Based on our team''s configuration, the chances of successfully breaking out of the encirclement aren''t high." Lu Yang immediately rejected the idea of attacking Shao Shao.


    Most of the people on the Jiang Family were Spirit Realm cultivators, facing the Wolf With Yin Wind that had the advantage in numbers and strength, it was almost impossible for them to break out of the encirclement.


    "Then what should we do? To fight? " Zhou Shao asked sarcastically.


    If he didn''t even have the ability to break out, then it was even more impossible to face him head on.


    "Full defense." Lu Yang replied.


    "Defense?" Zhou Shao sneered, "With the strength of the Jiang Family guards, they simply aren''t able to block the attacks of these evil wolves. If they take up defensive positions, they can at most last for fifteen minutes.


    Jiang Xinyu obviously thought of this point as well, and her expression became extremely solemn.


    They felt that they did not even have the ability to kill the Wolf With Yin Wind in a one on one fight. Being surrounded by this group of Vicious Beasts, they were basically forced into a dead end ¡­


    However, Lu Yang said: "So what I mean is, as long as you can endure for more than half an hour, that''s enough."


    Zhou Shao still wanted to ridicule him, but he was already able to discern some clues, "What plans do you have?"


    "Capture the thief and capture the king." Lu Yang replied.


    Zhou Shao laughed coldly: "How do I capture an emperor?"


    "Capturing the thief and capturing the king, don''t you understand?"


    Lu Yang looked at Zhou Shao as though he was looking at an ignorant child: "Capturing a thief and capturing a king means that ¡­"


    "Nonsense!" Zhou Shao angrily interrupted Lu Yang, "How can we kill the wolf head, who is hiding behind a pack of wolves?"


    "You guys stay here. I''ll go kill that wolf head." Lu Yang gave a concise summary of his plan.


    "You?"


    Zhou Shao looked at Lu Yang, as if he was watching a joke.


    Lu Yang said as a matter of fact, "The only one who can do this is me, of course it''s me."


    Hearing Lu Yang''s arrogant words, Zhou Shao could barely hold back his laughter.


    Jiang Xinyu frowned, she was just about to say something to stop him, but was stopped by Zhou Shao: "Since he wants to court death, we have no reason to stop him."


    "You guys be careful, I''ll be right back."


    Lu Yang threw down this sentence, and already flew out.


    Luo Shan and the others, who were unable to stop in time, sighed when they saw this scene ¡­ In the end, he was still young and vigorous. He was too impulsive!

 C39

    Lu Yang rushed towards the group of Wolf With Yin Wind in front of him alone. He couldn''t help but reveal a worried look, this youth was called over by Lu Qi, so if something were to happen to him in her group, it would be difficult to explain to Lu Qi.


    Zhou Shao on the other hand, had a sneer on his face. In his opinion, that reckless brat would definitely suffer a lot this time.


    Roar ~ ~


    Just as Lu Yang rushed to the front of the pack of wolves, the two Wolf With Yin Wind also quickly noticed the arrival of this uninvited guest.


    "How pitiful, being attacked by two wolves at once." Zhou Shao gloated.


    Just when everyone thought that Lu Yang would be attacked, his body suddenly flashed. All of the onlookers felt their vision blur as the figure flashed, and then, to their astonishment, Lu Yang had already ran behind two Wolf With Yin Wind s!


    "What an exquisite movement technique!"


    Someone amongst the Jiang Family guards praised.


    No one present could clearly see how Lu Yang dodged the attacks from the two wolves, but they knew clearly that Lu Yang must have done something extremely fast. This kind of dodging in which the timing was exactly the same, it was definitely not something an ordinary person could do!


    "Hmph, it was just luck."


    Zhou Shao refused to admit this.


    Jiang Xinyu was silent. It was not impossible for him to rely on luck to dodge the attack, but, who would give up their safety to luck in that kind of situation?


    While everyone was in shock, Lu Yang''s body continued to move past the three Wolf With Yin Wind s. Just as he was about to reach the head wolf, the black shadow on his left and right suddenly moved, the four Wolf With Yin Wind s all rushed out together!


    It was the four who had been hiding in the forest all this time!


    Jiang Xinyu was shocked, she anxiously warned: "Be careful!"


    However, she forgot, the one who told her that these four Wolf With Yin Wind existed, was none other than Lu Yang, how could he not be on guard?


    Lu Yang''s figure that had flashed out did not pause at all. He only clenched his right fist tightly, and a faint spiritual light surged out.


    "He wants to deal with four Wolf With Yin Wind by himself? "You''re courting death!"


    Zhou Shao was disdainful towards Lu Yang''s overconfident movements. Even if it was him, he was not confident that he could escape from the four Wolf With Yin Wind''s attacks!


    Arhat Fist!


    The four wolves pounced to his side, and Lu Yang, who was in the midst of preparing himself, suddenly punched, the powerful force exploding out the moment the Magical Beast approached, the huge force directly sending the four Wolf With Yin Wind flying.


    Boom


    Four continuous deep sounds could be heard as the four Wolf With Yin Wind fell onto the ground after colliding with the big tree. They fell to the ground and died!


    "This ¡­"


    The Jiang Family guards stared dumbfoundedly at the four wolf corpses, unable to say a word for a while.


    One punch!


    He killed four Wolf With Yin Wind with a single punch ¡­ What kind of terrifying power was this?!


    Roar ~ ~


    When Wolf Head saw his ambushing soldiers being killed, he immediately gave the order to attack.


    The Wolf With Yin Wind s that had long surrounded the group immediately rushed towards them, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.


    "Take care, maintain your defense line!"


    Jiang Xinyu did not hesitate either, and gave the order in accordance to Lu Yang''s plan of action.


    This action, was undoubtedly betting everyone''s lives on Lu Yang ¡­


    "Brothers, let''s go!"


    When the people of Jiang Family saw Lu Yang''s actions, their morale were immediately boosted. Clenching their weapons tightly, they fought the wolf pack bravely.


    Seeing Lu Yang''s aggressive approach, the wolf leader knew that this opponent was hard to deal with and after he gave the order for all the wolves to attack, they retreated backwards. At the same time, the Wolf With Yin Wind on the left and right sides gathered together, blocking in front of Lu Yang.


    However, this kind of action only slowed Lu Yang''s movements a little.


    Lu Yang''s figure did not stop. Towards the Magical Beast blocking his path, he did not waste any time to kill them, but instead used an extremely exquisite movement technique to dodge.


    The Wolf With Yin Wind that usually tried to stop him just flew out, and before they could even touch Lu Yang, the latter''s body had already moved, and directly flashed behind them, leaving behind the unfathomable Magical Beast that was rooted to the spot.


    Lu Yang advanced at full speed, completely unaware of the intense battle happening behind him. Not long after, he finally arrived in front of the wolf head.


    "Roar!"


    The Wolf With Yin Wind leader knew he had nowhere to run, so he immediately roared and pounced towards Lu Yang, bringing with him a fierce gust of wind.


    Bang!


    Lu Yang swung out his fist, bringing along the tyrannical force, it collided head-on with the Magical Beast, causing a huge force to explode out, instantly sending it flying.


    The Demon Wolf flew backwards, smashing a large tree behind it into two. It struggled and twitched a few times on the ground, then went to report to the hall of the underworld.


    "Even Wolf Head... Deal with it in one hit?! "


    When everyone in Jiang Family saw this result, they were all stunned.


    To those guards, only those who fought valiantly could survive. Under the young man''s hands, they were as weak as paper and could not even withstand a single blow.


    The commotion from behind naturally attracted the attention of all the wolves. They clearly did not expect that their leader would be so easily killed. At this moment, they were all frozen in place.


    "Kill!"


    Seeing that, the guards leader Luo Shan shouted out, the guards felt as if they had just woken up from a dream, they immediately wielded their weapons and rushed towards the wolves.


    Seeing that their leader had been killed, and that their morale had suffered a huge blow, the wolves did not have the heart to fight anymore. After being randomly cut down by the Jiang Family people, they too scattered in a row, fleeing in all directions.


    "Beat..." Did we win? "


    The Jiang Family guards could not believe it at all as they watched the disappearance of the Monster which had disappeared not long after.


    Only a few people were slightly injured while being surrounded by more than thirty Wolf With Yin Wind. This level of achievement was enough for them to stay in the Qingta City for a year.


    And all of this, was thanks to the secretive Lu Yang!


    "Young Master Lu Yang, good skill!"


    After confirming that the Wolf With Yin Wind had left, Luo Shan walked to Lu Yang''s side and praised him sincerely.


    All of the Jiang Family guards present also looked at Lu Yang with disbelief and admiration. This time, if not for Lu Yang, they would not have been able to escape from this encirclement.


    Lu Yang only smiled.


    This kind of calm and relaxed demeanor made him seem even more extraordinary in the forest, which was filled with faint traces of blood.


    And seeing that Lu Yang did not have the slightest bit of arrogance in his character, Jiang Xinyu''s ice-cold eyes could not help but be filled with praise.


    Zhou Shao was extremely pleased with himself for killing a wolf in the last three moves, but Lu Yang was definitely going to die!


    Zhou Shao, on the other hand, had a gloomy expression. All the way here, he had fought for so many opportunities to show off, but he had never received such a favor from Jiang Xinyu.


    Under the encirclement of the wolves, she was calm, made an accurate judgement, and charged into the enemy ranks alone. In a situation where she was completely unharmed, she avoided the interception of the wolves, and solved the Magical Beast''s ambush. In the end, she killed the enemy leader hidden behind the enemy lines before a large number of weak ones were killed or injured ¡­


    This kind of reaction and boldness was something that Jiang Xinyu had never seen before!


    Jiang Xinyu suddenly understood why Lu Qi wanted Lu Yang to join her team no matter what ¡­

 C40

    After the intense battle, everyone rested for a bit on the spot. At the same time, it was to treat the wounds of a few wounded people.


    Luo Shan was in the forest inspecting the corpses of the demon wolves, while Jiang Xinyu had also arrived behind him.


    "How is it?" Jiang Xinyu asked.


    There was unconcealable shock in Luo Shan''s eyes. "The four Wolf With Yin Wind that were killed by the Young Master Lu Yang earlier ¡­ The skull will shatter and you will die! "


    Jiang Xinyu''s gaze also trembled.


    "Four evil wolves lying in ambush, pouncing out from four different directions ¡­ Young Master Lu Yang''s punch could only hit one direction, but it shattered four Magical Beast! "


    Luo Shan''s tone was filled with deep reverence: "The wind formed by that heavy punch was powerful enough to shatter the Wolf With Yin Wind''s head!"


    Jiang Xinyu had obviously thought of this as well. She and Luo Shan exchanged a glance, and at the same time, discovered the deep astonishment in each other''s eyes!


    If it was just a fist of wind, it could kill Wolf With Yin Wind, moreover, it would be a group killing ¡­ If so, it would not be a difficult matter to destroy all the Magical Beast from before!


    However, the thing that the two of them could not understand the most was that after several times of probing, they could not find the auras of the four Magical Beast lying in ambush. Then, how did Lu Yang discover them?


    "Did you find anything?"


    At this time, Lu Yang''s voice came from behind the two of them.


    Jiang Xinyu immediately retracted the look of shock in her eyes, but that Luo Shan did not seem to care about that, he turned her head and prostrated to Lu Yang: "Young Master Lu Yang''s fist techniques are truly tyrannical!"


    Lu Yang shrugged his shoulders, "It''s not that my fists are strong, it''s just that the skull of the Wolf With Yin Wind is too fragile ¡­"


    Jiang Xinyu and Luo Shan were stunned!


    They had also fought with Wolf With Yin Wind before, so Luo Shan didn''t even have the ability to kill him, and although Jiang Xinyu was able to destroy the skull of the Monster, she had to use a lot of strength, and this Lu Yang, actually thought that the Wolf With Yin Wind was too brittle?!


    "Cough ¡­"


    Luo Shan coughed. This Lu Yang, simply made people speechless!


    "Although the Wolf With Yin Wind has been chased away by us for the time being, the danger has not been resolved. We should leave this place as soon as possible." Lu Yang pointed out.


    "Alright, I''ll go and organize the team." Luo Shan told the two of them goodbye and returned to the camp.


    Jiang Xinyu looked at Lu Yang, "You said that this place is still dangerous, what do you mean by this?"


    Lu Yang swept his eyes across the four wolf corpses on the ground, "Does young miss Jiang think that we were ambushed by a group of Wolf With Yin Wind was a coincidence?"


    Jiang Xinyu thought for a while, "Could it be that it''s not true?"


    Lu Yang looked at the wolf corpse that was killed by Zhou Shao the first: "Wolf With Yin Wind s are a very cunning type of Magical Beast, they know how to send out their comrades to scout the enemy, so after discovering that their comrades were killed, they should be able to foresee that they would meet a powerful opponent, so logically, they shouldn''t rashly attack us, but they still surrounded us, this series of unreasonable actions does not fit with the cunning Wolf With Yin Wind''s habits."


    Jiang Xinyu was suspicious, but she still could not agree with him completely. "To be able to conclude that it was no accident just from this, isn''t it too one-sided?"


    Lu Yang asked: "Has Jiang Xiaojie ever heard of Wolf With Yin Wind hiding their auras?"


    Jiang Xinyu shook her head.


    "This is it." Lu Yang said, "Although there are a few Monster that are born with the ability to hide their auras, those Wolf With Yin Wind do not possess that kind of talent ¡­"


    Jiang Xinyu''s eyes moved, "... Beastmaster?! "


    Lu Yang nodded, "That''s right. Beastmaster who is proficient in taming Magical Beast, is only able to have Magical Beast learn a lot of skills in the acquired world and conceal their aura. It''s just a basic ability. "


    Jiang Xinyu now understood why she was unable to detect the four Wolf With Yin Wind lying in ambush!


    But according to this conjecture, Jiang Family and his men were obviously plotted against by someone!


    There were a lot of people who knew that Jiang Xinyu and the rest were trying to enter the inner circle of the Green Python Mountain Range, but how did the other party know their exact whereabouts?


    "There might be spies in the team ¡­"


    Lu Yang told his what Jiang Xinyu was thinking.


    However, Jiang Xinyu''s expression was as calm as usual.


    Lu Yang asked: "Does Jiang Xiaojie know who is behind this?"


    Jiang Xinyu muttered to herself for a while, before revealing a thoughtful expression.


    "What did Jiang Xiaojie think of?" Lu Yang asked again.


    Jiang Xinyu shook her head slightly, and said indifferently: "The forces whose Qingta City is set on us, are there not many?"


    These words caused Lu Yang to be startled.


    It was not because of what Jiang Xinyu had said, but rather, because one of the three great powers of Jiang Family was being coveted by all sorts of people. This matter had long ago become a secret in the Qingta City, and Lu Yang was merely surprised by Jiang Xinyu''s attitude.


    Calm, it was just too calm.


    However, Jiang Xinyu was not able to deal with this kind of crisis, which was why she remained calm. The worry in the depths of her eyes still revealed the helplessness in her heart.


    "However," Jiang Xinyu stared at Lu Yang, "Since the four Wolf With Yin Wind have learnt how to conceal their auras, how did you discover them?"


    "Ordinary concealing auras, are only able to restrain their Spirit Element into their body. This method can avoid detection by the fluctuations of the Spirit Element, but it cannot escape the detection of mental energy." Lu Yang laughed.


    "Mental Energy?" Jiang Xinyu looked at Lu Yang with a strange expression.


    After a moment of silence, Jiang Xinyu asked again, "With your ability ¡­ It''s easy to deal with Wolf With Yin Wind, you can definitely fight your way to the head of the wolves, why do you have to dodge all the way? "


    "Because it would take too much time and effort to get there." Lu Yangyouyou replied.


    Jiang Xinyu was stunned once again.


    Lu Yang explained: "At that time, the situation was critical and we had to quickly rescue him. We did not have much time to waste on other things."


    Jiang Xinyu was secretly shocked!


    Judging from Lu Yang''s tone, dealing with that group of Wolf With Yin Wind would not be under much pressure at all. The reason he forced them back by killing them off was to avoid any deaths or injuries due to Jiang Family!


    This Lu Yang ¡­ Just how strong was he?


    Jiang Xinyu stared at Lu Yang with a glint of curiosity, but it had only disappeared in a flash.


    Just then, the rest of the people from Jiang Family had already finished resting and Luo Shan led the group to a different place. As it was getting late, they found a clearing with a wide field of vision and set up their camp.


    After the previous free-for-all, Lu Yang''s position in the team had skyrocketed.


    When Luo Shan had even chosen to camp out, he had even specially come to ask for Lu Yang''s opinion.


    Jiang Xinyu''s attitude towards Lu Yang also seemed to have changed, it was just that this big miss Jiang Family had never revealed her worries on her face, so her attitude towards Lu Yang was still as cold as ever.


    However, from her telling Luo Shan to set up his tent at the best location in the camp, everyone could tell that she was taking care of him.


    Amongst the group, only Zhou Shao hated Lu Yang, not only did Lu Yang steal away his limelight, he even got Jiang Xinyu, who was supposed to belong to him, and treated him like his own son!


    "Lu Family brat, this trip, won''t be an easy one to return to ¡­"


    In the shadows of the campsite, a vicious eye flashed as it stared at the boy beside the bonfire as if nothing had happened. The boy gradually disappeared into the darkness, turning into a quiet undercurrent that flowed in the night.

 C41

    After the incident with the Wolf With Yin Wind, the people of Jiang Family continued to explore, and had already entered the area surrounded by the Green Python Mountain Range.


    After the group had explored the inner circle for a few days, the number of Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast they met gradually increased. However, the situation where they met with a group attack again did not happen again.


    This also puzzled Jiang Xinyu, who had been standing guard the whole time. Could it be that her speculation regarding the mastermind was wrong? Otherwise, there was no reason for the person behind him to be quiet for so many days ¡­


    During these few days of exploration, they still did not find any Dragonblood Herb, but under the guidance of the alchemists in the Jiang Family team, everyone still obtained quite a few medicinal ingredients, which could be considered to be not a harvest at all.


    Lu Yang also came to look for medicinal ingredients, but he didn''t discover any that he needed along the way, so he didn''t personally gather them.


    At this moment, everyone from Jiang Family had entered a misty forest.


    "Grade 4 elixir, Golden Striped Green Vine ¡­" The harvest is quite bountiful! "


    The alchemists in the group carefully put away the three stalks of spirit medicine. Their eyes couldn''t help but surge with joy.


    The guards of the Jiang Family were still on guard against the situation around them. After entering the misty forest, their vision was limited, and even the fluctuations of the Spirit Element could not spread outwards.


    In a situation where danger could arrive at any time, Luo Shan and the rest were all extremely vigilant.


    "Eldest Miss, we have finished gathering the Golden Striped Green Vines. This fog is a bit strange, so we should leave as soon as possible."


    After confirming that the Alchemists had finished collecting the ingredients, Luo Shan walked in front of Jiang Xinyu and said.


    Jiang Xinyu nodded her head, and just as she was about to give the order to leave, she looked at Lu Yang''s leader, who was standing at the side of the crowd and in a daze.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Jiang Xinyu''s emotionless voice came from behind Lu Yang.


    "This fog... "It''s a bit strange." Lu Yang muttered.


    Jiang Xinyu agreed, "It is indeed a little strange, this mist stopped the perception of the Spirit Element''s fluctuations ¡­."


    Lu Yang''s eyes flashed, "This is because this piece of fog is filled with Spirit Element, which is why the probing ripples were blocked."


    Jiang Xinyu looked at Lu Yang in shock. Even she and the whole party were confused, how could this youth see through their background?


    "I find it strange," Lu Yang said. "This kind of situation wouldn''t occur out of nowhere, there should be some kind of special existence nearby ¡­"


    "Young Miss, Little Zhao, who went to scout, is back."


    Just then, Luo Shan walked over and reported.


    Little Zhao, who had been sent to scout for directions, walked in front of Jiang Xinyu. "The situation of this forest has basically been ascertained, and we will continue to go deeper into an area where the mist is denser. About fifteen hundred meters ahead, there is a group of gathered Monster s, but the mist is too dense, so we are unable to determine the exact situation."


    Jiang Xinyu frowned.


    "Right now, we are already in the inner area, so most of the Magical Beast that appear here are Spiritual Spring Level s. If a group of Monster of this level appears, it would pose a great threat to us."


    Luo Shan''s eyes revealed worry. He was obviously thinking about his encounter with the Wolf With Yin Wind a few days ago.


    Jiang Xinyu also thought about this: "Change the direction, immediately leave this forest."


    "Yes."


    Luo Shan responded as he turned around and gave the order.


    Lu Yang pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Jiang Xiaojie, all of you leave first, I am a little concerned with the Monster in front, I want to go and check it out."


    Before Jiang Xinyu could speak, Zhou Shao, who had arrived beside the two of them before they knew it, sneered and said, "This forest is very strange, it can''t even detect the fluctuations of the Spirit Element. Once inside, it''s easy to get lost, we won''t stay here and wait for you!"


    Lu Yang was not the least bit bothered by his words. "No need, leave first, I have my own ways to keep up."


    Jiang Xinyu hesitated for a while, but in the end, she did not say anything.


    Lu Yang greeted the two of them before walking into the depths of the misty forest by himself. Not long after, his figure completely submerged into the mist.


    After leaving the Jiang Family group, Lu Yang did not choose to carefully move forward. Instead, he directly used a movement technique to flash out, and quickly traversed through the misty forest. Not long after, he arrived at the depths of the misty forest, and saw a few indistinct figures in front of him.


    "Stone Armadillos, 12 of them."


    As his mental undulations spread forward, Lu Yang quickly grasped the information of the Magical Beast in front of him.


    The Stone Armadillos was also a Magical Beast with Spiritual Spring Level. Its attack power was average, but its defensive power was extremely high. Its entire body of stone armor was shockingly hard, even some low grade spirit artifacts were unable to penetrate through it.


    However, what really caught Lu Yang''s attention was one of the flowers surrounded by the Monster. Through his mental fluctuations, Lu Yang could feel that this strange flower was not ordinary at all.


    Just as Lu Yang was preparing to take action, his body suddenly stopped, followed by three rushing wind sounds. Before long, Jiang Xinyu and the rest arrived beside Lu Yang.


    "Why did you guys follow us?" Lu Yang asked curiously.


    "Eldest Miss is worried that you won''t be able to handle it by yourself ¡­"


    Halfway through his words, Luo Shan stopped him by looking at him, intentionally or otherwise.


    When Lu Yang looked at Jiang Xinyu, he only saw the latter''s still elegant and cold face.


    "Humph!"


    Zhou Shao glared at Lu Yang, and snorted to show that he did not intend to follow him.


    "The Monster have made their move." Luo Shan who was looking ahead suddenly said.


    Just as Lu Yang was chatting with the three people who had rushed over, the gathered Monster in front of them also moved.


    "Not good." Lu Yang''s gaze changed, "You two stay here, I will go and take care of some matters, and then I will return."


    After saying that, without waiting for the three of them to react, Lu Yang had already flown out, and rushed towards the Monster that were gathered in front of him.


    The Stone Armadillos that was initially moving also quickly realized that there was an uninvited guest behind them. The Magical Beast turned around, and one figure after another appeared in the fog.


    "It''s the Stone Armadillos!"


    Only now did Zhou Shao clearly see the true face of those Monster.


    Lu Yang had already closed in on a Stone Armadillos. Without waiting for the other party''s reaction, he directly punched out with his fist.


    Bang!


    The heavy punch landed on the Magical Beast''s body without deviating at all. A dull sound of impact resounded, but the armoured armadillo was only pushed back slightly by Lu Yang, and was actually unharmed!


    Seeing this scene, Luo Shan could not help but be startled.


    After all, he had personally witnessed Lu Yang killing four Wolf With Yin Wind with one punch!


    But now, it was completely useless against the Stone Armadillos ¡­


    "Stupid!" Zhou Shao seized the opportunity to ridicule them, "The stone armor on the Stone Armadillos''s body is unusually tough, it is said to be invulnerable to weapons.


    Stone Armadillos s were not rare within the Green Python Mountain Range, their strong defense was known by everyone, so cultivators within the Qingta City would normally not want to provoke them.


    Once one was surrounded by the Stone Armadillos, it was extremely difficult to escape. Although cultivators would not face any life-threatening danger, they would still need to suffer to escape ¡­


    Thinking of this, Zhou Shao looked at Lu Yang who was in front of him with a face full of schadenfreude.


    At this moment, the rest of the Stone Armadillos also surrounded Lu Yang.

 C42

    Looking at the Magical Beast that was gradually approaching him in an arc, Lu Yang maintained his calm demeanor.


    He stood still and was not in a hurry to attack. With a clench of his fist, a cold longsword appeared in his hand where the strange light flashed.


    "Grade one spirit weapon?"


    Zhou Shao''s eyes lit up.


    Luo Shan said: "Rumor has it that Young Master Lu Yang fought with Young Master Wang Yu for the upper hand in the hunt, and won Wang Family''s'' Cold Edge Sword ''¡­."


    Zhou Shao disdained it: "Even if it is a Grade 1 Spirit Weapon, it will not be able to do anything to the Stone Armadillos''s Stone Armour!"


    Ding!


    Just as Zhou Shao was speaking, the sword in his hand swung out, slashing the neck of the Stone Armadillos in front of him, causing a clear metallic sound to ring out, and the spirit sword, was actually blocked off.


    "Ha ha!" Zhou Shao said with a forewarning tone, "I have already said that the Stone Armadillos''s armor is unusually hard, and that it is simply invulnerable to weapons!"


    Weng! *


    Just then, the sword in Lu Yang''s hand released a buzzing sound, and the spirit sword started to shine brightly.


    Sword of Radiance!


    The long sword was pressed against the Stone Armadillos''s neck, Lu Yang seemed to not care about this, he fiercely stomped on the ground, and his body advanced by half a body''s length.


    Jiang Xinyu and the other two were still curious, how could Lu Yang, who had been blocked by the Stone Armadillos, take another step forward?


    "Hiss ~ ~ ~"


    At the same time the blood shot out, an irregular circular object rolled down to the ground. It was the head of the Stone Armadillos!


    "That Stone Armadillos is said to be invulnerable to weapons... It actually got its head cut off?! "


    Behind Lu Yang, the three of them watched in shock, while Luo Shan gasped for breath and spoke.


    However, the three of them quickly realized that it was still too early to be surprised!


    After killing the first Stone Armadillos, Lu Yang''s figure did not stop, and continued to rush forward. The spirit sword in his hand contained a sharp glint, and following Lu Yang''s movements, it drew a line of light, as if it was even able to tear the air apart.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    A sharp whistle followed Lu Yang''s movements like a shadow, and wherever his figure passed, Magical Beast would die, and blood would gush out like a pillar!


    In just a blink of an eye, the four Stone Armadillos that were standing in front of Lu Yang had already died, and before Luo Shan and the other two could even react, another seven pillars of blood spurted out.


    Twelve Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast s who were famous for their strong defenses were all killed in the span of a few breaths!


    The expressions on Luo Shan and the other two could only be described as dumbstruck!


    Lu Yang''s attack was too shocking. Even if it was not directed at them, the light that was flowing out was extremely intense, and they felt as if they were witnessing death, and their hairs couldn''t help but stand on end!


    One sword. Just one sword was enough to end this battle!


    In front of Lu Yang, the armor of the Stone Armadillos, which even spirit artifacts could not damage, was actually like paper. It was practically torn apart with no effort at all ¡­


    "This guy ¡­" Is he still human? "


    Luo Shan subconsciously murmured, appearing extremely clear in the completely silent misty forest.


    Buzz.


    Lu Yang loosened his fingers on the Frost Blade, and a strange light enveloped the sword. At the same time, the light disappeared, the spirit treasure was also returned to the Cosmic Bag.


    "Done."


    Lu Yang turned around and smiled at the three of them who were flabbergasted.


    Only then did Luo Shan and the other two come back to their senses, they immediately rushed to Lu Yang''s side.


    "Young Master Lu Yang, you really ¡­ It''s really amazing! "


    Luo Shan racked his brains to find the appropriate words of praise, but in the end only one came out of his mouth.


    "I''m fine." Lu Yang had a regretful look on his face, "My sword techniques were not my forte, so I spent more time."


    Spending a little more time?


    From the time Lu Yang set off to the time twelve Stone Armadillos being killed, only less than ten breaths of time had passed.


    Luo Shan could only reveal a bitter smile.


    Lu Yang then waved his hand, and the bodies of the twelve Magical Beast were immediately covered by a layer of faint light, and then the corpses were all taken into his Cosmic Bag.


    "Young Master Lu Yang, this ¡­?" Luo Shan was suspicious of Lu Yang''s actions.


    "The Stone Armadillos''s stone armor is very hard, it''s a good material for refining spirit armor." Lu Yang replied.


    Luo Shan laughed: "That is true, but in order to refine spirit armor, the requirements to complete the stone armor are extremely high. The body of the armor cannot be damaged at all ¡­"


    Halfway through his words, Luo Shan suddenly stopped in his tracks!


    Because he suddenly realised that the way Lu Yang killed the Stone Armadillos was to chop off their heads without exception. But there wouldn''t be any damage!


    Could it be that this Lu Yang had already been planned from the beginning?


    Luo Shan looked at Lu Yang in shock.


    However, Lu Yang turned around as if he did not see anything, and walked toward the place where the Stone Armadillos had gathered.


    The three of them all knew that Lu Yang had come for this reason, and they quickly followed.


    What appeared in front of everyone''s eyes was a white epiphyllum flower. Twelve overlapping petals, several of which emitted firefly like lights but were yellow in color. The entire flower was surrounded by a light yellow dust cloud that looked like moonlight, which was very strange.


    "This... "What is it?"


    Zhou Shao looked at the mysterious object on the ground and asked.


    Luo Shan looked at it for a long time before finally shaking his head.


    Jiang Xinyu remained silent and did not say a word.


    It was still Lu Yang who explained, "This is the Hidden Fog Tan. Although it is only a rank 3 spiritual medicine, its value is the highest among rank 3 spiritual medicines. It even surpasses some rank 4 spiritual medicines. "


    Zhou Shao''s eyes lit up.


    "What is the use of this Hidden Fog?" Jiang Xinyu could not help but ask.


    "Hidden Fog has the ability to gather Spiritual Essence Of Heaven And Earth," Lu Yang replied. "This patch of fog in the forest is the result of this strange flower gathering all the free spirit energy between heaven and earth."


    Hearing this, the three people''s gazes couldn''t help but flash!


    No cultivator would not understand the function of gathering spiritual energy!


    The cultivation rooms of the various factions were also a way to gather spirit energy ¡­ By gathering Spiritual Essence Of Heaven And Earth, it could greatly increase the efficiency of cultivation!


    Therefore, the value of this Hidden Fog Tan was self-evident.


    The Stone Armadillos that were previously gathered here were gathered here in order to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible.


    "This... But it''s a treasure! " Zhou Shao''s eyes burned with passion.


    Just as Zhou Shao was about to extend his hand to pluck the strange flower, Lu Yang''s voice came again, "However, the effect of gathering the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth will only take effect at night. Furthermore, it only exists when the spirit flower is alive, so once the spirit flower leaves the ground and dies, it will naturally lose its function."


    "Is it useless if I take it off?" When Zhou Shao heard this, the hand that was about to reach out, stopped.


    "Then wouldn''t we have no choice but to wait and see if we discover this hidden foggy Tan?" Luo Shan said regretfully.


    "Not really."


    Lu Yang waved his hand as he said this, and a surge of energy rose up from the spirit flower. "Hidden Fog can be used to forge spirit artifacts to achieve the purpose of gathering spirit energy."


    The heat that was extinguished in Zhou Shao''s eyes ignited once again, but that spirit flower had already landed in Lu Yang''s hands.

 C43

    Zhou Shao started to think about that Fog Serpent, but Lu Yang skillfully kept that Spirit Flower into his bag. This made him feel helpless, and he could only look at Lu Yang with an unfriendly gaze.


    As the mist was picked away, the mist that had pervaded the forest also began to dissipate.


    Only now did Luo Shan and the others confirm that what Lu Yang had said about Fog Underworld Tan was the truth, and Zhou Shao''s greed for it had grown even stronger.


    Before they had caught up to Lu Yang, Luo Shan had obviously agreed upon a rendezvous point with the people from Jiang Family. The three of them brought Lu Yang through the forest for a while, and before long, they arrived at a relatively spacious stretch of forest.


    "Young Master Lu Yang, we plan to set up the camp here tonight, what do you think?" Luo Shan asked for Lu Yang''s opinion as per usual.


    Luo Shan obviously had a lot of experience when entering the mountain, he would always choose the location of the camp appropriately. Although he would ask for Lu Yang''s opinion symbolically every single time, in reality, most people would agree with him immediately afterwards.


    But this time, Lu Yang''s gaze swept the surroundings, although he was hesitant.


    "What''s wrong?" Jiang Xinyu felt Lu Yang''s strangeness.


    "Nothing ¡­" Lu Yang shook his head, "Let''s do it here."


    "Alright." Luo Shan replied and immediately ordered the men of the Jiang Family to set up the camp.


    Just like before, the team of alchemists sprinkled Beast Repellent Powder on a certain area outside the campsite. Several guards in charge of logistics set up a fire to cook. Everything seemed normal.


    That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The moon was high in the sky, and the silver moonlight scattered across the dense forest. The insects in all directions cried out, making the entire forest seem more serene and serene.


    Towards such a moving moon, Jiang Xinyu was not in the mood to appreciate it. Looking at the full moon in the sky, her starry eyes seemed to have an unspeakable sorrow.


    "It''s a full moon ¡­"


    A youth''s voice came from behind Jiang Xinyu.


    Her delicate body trembled imperceptibly, and the worry in her eyes completely vanished, returning to her ice-cold face.


    Lu Yang walked to her side. "There is a special kind of Night Elemental Beast among the Monster s that can absorb the moonlight''s essence and raise its strength. Its combat power under the Full Moon will even be increased tremendously ¡­"


    Jiang Xinyu thought that Lu Yang''s words were a little unfathomable, but suddenly she thought of something and thought of it, "It is said that within the inner circle of the Green Python Mountain Range, a Moonlight Leviathan appeared within half a year. That Monster occupied the entire ground as its king, and many cultivators were injured by it ¡­"


    Lu Yang nodded meaningfully.


    "But," Jiang Xinyu paused for a moment, "The location of the Moonlight Leviathan is ten kilometers in the inner circle, and this time, our search area is only five kilometers, so we shouldn''t encounter any of them ¡­ "You''re overthinking it."


    Lu Yang smiled slightly: "Jiang Xiaojie is sure?"


    Jiang Xinyu was startled.


    Lu Yang said: "The Golden Striped Green Vine that we discovered earlier is a spirit medicine that would appear within a radius of five kilometers. According to the general location where the Green Python Mountain Range medicines were grown, the Golden Striped Green Vine should be a spirit medicine that appears within a radius of five kilometers."


    Jiang Xinyu''s expression slightly changed, "Our original plan was only to search within the area of five kilometers ¡­"


    "As for the facts, we have almost reached the area of 10 miles." Lu Yang slowly said, "I just don''t know if this is a coincidence, or if someone did it on purpose."


    Hearing that, Jiang Xinyu''s eyes flashed: "Probably not, this time the one leading the way is Guard Captain Luo Shan, he is very loyal to our Jiang Family ¡­"


    If one were to say, Jiang Xinyu was even more suspicious of Zhou Shao, who had been moving about on the way here. After all, the relationship between the Zhou Family and their Jiang Family was very close, and it was hard to say whether it was friendly or not.


    In this situation, for Zhou Shao to appear in the team as a personal friend was an unusual occurrence.


    As for this Lu Yang?


    The strange thing was that Jiang Xinyu never seemed to have suspected him. Was it because she was recommended by Lu Qi, or was it because he personally saved the people from Jiang Family?


    Jiang Xinyu couldn''t explain it either.


    She felt that this seemingly calm and composed youth was something to rely on.


    Perhaps, deep down in her heart, she yearned for someone she could rely on ¡­


    Sasha.


    Just as Jiang Xinyu was lost in thought, some unusual sounds came from nearby.


    "It seems like I really can''t live peacefully tonight."


    Lu Yang sighed, the smile on his face did not show any signs of panic, as if he had expected this.


    Just as Jiang Xinyu was about to ask, Luo Shan, who had also sensed that something was wrong, had already walked over. "Eldest Miss, the situation around us isn''t right, it seems like Magical Beast are approaching."


    The rest of the group, who were preparing to rest, were jolted awake.


    The young apprentice alchemist muttered to himself in panic, "That shouldn''t be the case ¡­" I had clearly sprinkled the Beast Repellent Powder my teacher gave me, which was sufficient enough to make most of the Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast not dare to go near ¡­ "


    However, the uninvited guests still came at night.


    Dong!


    In the southeast side of the camp, a large tree had fallen. The sound of its fall caused the entire forest to shake. A few birds that were resting nearby were startled into the air and fled into the distance.


    "What powerful strength ¡­"


    All of the Jiang Family guards'' faces were pale, and the faint, fierce might that pervaded the air had already made them understand that the Magical Beast they had encountered tonight was definitely stronger than any one of them had ever seen before!


    "Everyone, be on alert! Prepare to meet the enemy!"


    Jiang Xinyu scolded, calming her flustered mind.


    Everyone immediately took out their weapons and organized a defensive line as if they were about to face a great enemy.


    Only Lu Yang remained calm, as if he had nothing to do with this matter.


    Ka-cha.


    Yet another large tree that he was hugging broke apart. However, this time around, that big tree did not land on the ground. Like an arrow that had left the bow, it was thrown toward the camp where the crowd was gathered at.


    "Be careful!"


    Luo Shan who was at the head of the charge bellowed, he grabbed his steel blade and flew up to meet the incoming attack.


    However, even with all his strength, he was still unable to stop it.


    A deep sound echoed out, Luo Shan''s body flew out, and then fell onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. It seemed that his injuries were not light.


    Although the momentum of the huge tree did not stop there, it directly smashed into the defensive perimeter surrounding the Jiang Family troops.


    Everyone from Jiang Family climbed up from the ground in a panic, all of their eyes revealed expressions of shock, as if they had lost all will to fight ¡­


    What else could they do in the face of such a powerful monster?


    Dong! Dong!


    At this moment, two more deep sounds rang out from the southeast. An enormous figure slowly emerged from the dark forest, bringing with it a terrifying and powerful pressure.


    "Such an enormous figure ¡­"


    "Tonight just happens to be a full moon ¡­"


    "Hercules Sublunar! It is the legendary Hercules Sublunar! "


    Shocked and shocked shouts sounded from the crowd one after another, and the color of the people from the Jiang Family also quickly disappeared.


    Even Zhou Shao who had Spiritual Spring Realm couldn''t help but tremble a little at this moment, and even though Jiang Xinyu did her best to restrain herself, her trembling pupils still betrayed the fear in her heart.


    Big Miss Jiang Family knows the backbone of her team, so she definitely cannot mess around. If even she is in a mess, then the lives of everyone in Jiang Family will be handed over to her here ¡­

 C44

    He tried his best to control the fear in his heart. Jiang Xinyu really wanted to find a way out of this predicament as soon as possible, but she discovered that her mind was completely blank ¡­


    "Hmm?"


    At this moment, a youth''s figure unexpectedly entered her line of sight.


    It was Lu Yang, the one who had the ability to move freely.


    Perhaps it was because of the youth''s calm demeanor, but Jiang Xinyu''s heart had actually calmed down a little.


    Lu Yang then casually walked to the front of the group of people and stood opposite to the gigantic figure in the forest: "Reveal your true face, Hercules Sublunar!"


    When the gigantic shadow in the darkness heard this, it actually broke apart a huge tree, and then threw it towards Lu Yang with great force.


    This throw weighed at least a thousand pounds, and the wind pressure it carried caused all the grass along the way to be pinned to the ground.


    A hint of worry surfaced in Jiang Xinyu''s eyes, and before she could open her mouth, Lu Yang, who had yet to move, had already punched out ¡ª


    Boom! *


    Explosions rang out as the splinters from the tree exploded. The huge tree that had an extremely fierce momentum was actually blown apart by Lu Yang''s fist!


    It was only then that she remembered that this youngster who dared to go head to head with the Hercules Sublunar was no ordinary person!


    "To be completely unaffected by my pressure, and even able to take one of my attacks, Human, your strength is very strong."


    A deep and steady voice came from ahead of Lu Yang.


    The faces of the people from the Jiang Family immediately became even paler. The Vicious Beast s, can actually speak human language?


    Lu Yang''s gaze also moved: To be able to speak the human tongue, is definitely not an ordinary person.


    "You have the right to see my true face. Afterwards, feel fear and tremble in front of me!"


    As it spoke, the colossal creature took a step forward and slowly emerged from the bushes. Finally, its figure was revealed to everyone.


    The Hercules Sublunar''s body could indeed be said to be enormous, being half a body taller than a normal person.


    The fur on its back was a light yellow, and under the moonlight, it seemed to be glowing with a golden light. The fur on its front was snow-white, and there was a crescent moon symbol on its chest, exuding a moonlight glow.


    Looking at the Leviathan''s oppressive body, the fear in everyone''s eyes grew even stronger.


    Lu Yang still had that smiling face that seemed like it would never change.


    He stared at the bright and lively Vicious Beasts in front of him, and said something that almost made everyone faint on the spot ¡ª


    "I never thought that the legendary Hercules Sublunar would actually be a hamster ¡­ "So cute."


    Lovely?!


    The people from Jiang Family were unable to react in time ¡­


    Looking at the The Vicious Beast''s body that was brimming with power, its sharp claws, and its extremely oppressive might ¡­ How could this be considered cute!?


    The Hercules Sublunar''s round cheeks twitched. If its expression could be seen, its face would be extremely ugly right now.


    "I am the Moonlight Golden Silk Bear!" It was a bear! "It''s not a mouse!"


    The Leviathan began to shout in an attempt to defend itself. Wave after wave of sound began to spread through the forest, shaking the grass and trees.


    Lu Yang said fearlessly, "Based on what I know, the Moonlight Golden Silk Bear is not even the size of a palm, but it doesn''t have a body as big as yours ¡­"


    With that, Lu Yang laughed, and looked at the Leviathan with eyes as sharp as lightning: "Since you can grow up to this size, there must be something different about you, right?"


    The Leviathan''s body seemed to tremble, and her feet unconsciously moved back a little.


    "..." Stop talking nonsense! I was born this way! It''s not because you''ve eaten something strange that you''ve grown up! " The Leviathan tried very hard to defend itself.


    "Oh?"


    Lu Yang stared at the Leviathan in front of him and laughed even more.


    The Hercules Sublunar felt that the human in front of it had a very strange smile.


    "A weak human dares to look down on me ¡­"


    The Hercules Sublunar''s beard rose up, and its two round cheeks puffed up as if it was angry: "I will make you suffer the anger of the Hercules Sublunar, tremble, weak human!"


    With a dong sound, the Hercules Sublunar stomped hard on the ground, and its gigantic body flew towards Lu Yang like a boulder.


    Although this enormous creature was huge, it did not appear to be cumbersome at all. It had an extremely fierce momentum!


    Boom! *


    Lu Yang smashed out with his fist full of strength. As a loud sound rang out, his body was actually pushed back more than ten steps by the force, and the huge underneath the moon was also forced back, its feet leaving two deep marks on the ground.


    "What a terrifying force ¡­"


    The people from Jiang Family sighed, they did not know if he was talking about the Hercules Sublunar or Lu Yang, but this was the first time they had seen Lu Yang being forced back.


    "To be able to withstand my frontal assault, your strength is pretty good!"


    As soon as the Hercules Sublunar finished its sentence, it turned to its left and right, grabbing with its two hands. Two huge trees were pulled up from the ground, and then thrown out by it.


    "Get out of the way!"


    Without even turning his head, Lu Yang warned the guards behind him. At the same time, he moved, and directly dashed past the two huge trees that were charging towards him, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Hercules Sublunar.


    Arhat Fist!


    A heavy punch was thrown out, landing on the white fur on the Hercules Sublunar''s chest without any fancy moves.


    Instantly, a tremendous force surged out!


    "Haha ¡­"


    However, the Leviathan that was struck by Lu Yang let out a loud laugh.


    Lu Yang''s face suddenly changed!


    He discovered that when his fist power was unleashed, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, completely devoid of any strength.


    Lu Yang immediately retreated backwards, pulling a distance away from the Hercules Sublunar.


    Dong, dong, dong!


    Two loud sounds rang out from behind him, followed by a series of wails.


    Lu Yang frowned slightly. He didn''t even need to look to know that the Jiang Family guards behind him had been caught in the crossfire and had been smashed by the two large trees.


    "Let me handle this, you guys leave first!"


    Lu Yang shouted to the Jiang Family people behind him without even turning his head.


    Jiang Xinyu suddenly regained his senses, they had to leave first. With Lu Yang''s ability, he had the ability to escape, so he quickly made a decision: "Everyone retreat first!"


    After hearing the First Miss''s words, the Jiang Family people who had no intention to stay for a long time retreated without hesitation.


    Jiang Xinyu confirmed that everyone had left, and that even the injured Luo Shan was taken away by someone, so she was prepared to leave. Before he left, he paused, and glanced at the young man who was facing the Hercules Sublunar alone.


    Seeing the relaxed and relaxed expression on Lu Yang''s face, Jiang Xinyu hesitated for a while, but in the end, the word "be careful" that was on the tip of her tongue did not come out of her mouth as she turned around and rushed out.


    "Your strength is truly amazing ¡­" He is the strongest cultivator I have ever met in my Green Python Mountain Range, but he is still not my match. "


    The Hercules Sublunar said with an arrogant tone.


    Lu Yang looked around at the disappearing figures, and suddenly said: "Finally gone."


    The Hercules Sublunar did not understand: "You were scared too, did you think you could escape? Weak human! "


    Tss tss ¡­


    Lu Yang slowly raised his right hand, and golden dust gathered at the center of his palm. "Next up, you don''t even have the chance to escape anymore ¡­"

 C45

    Hearing the words that came out of his mouth, the Hercules Sublunar really wanted to laugh out loud, but when his eyes met with the teenager''s eyes, the Hercules Sublunar''s heart would uncontrollably tremble.


    The human in front of him was somewhat short and unfathomable.


    Tss tss ¡­


    The dust in Lu Yang''s hand gathered, and not long after, it formed into some profound characters. Then, a golden light surged, and actually formed into an ancient book, which emitted a golden light as it floated above his palm.


    The Hercules Sublunar, on the other hand, subconsciously felt the danger of the book.


    It had developed an uncontrollable fear of the book!


    "This... What exactly is it, and what did you do? "


    The Hercules Sublunar waved its claws, trying to hide its fear with its anger.


    "This is the Devil Subduing Heavenly Book ¡­" As Lu Yang said this, he slowly flipped open the book that was initially closed, "It''s a buddhist magic tool specially used to collect Monster."


    "Buddhist sect?"


    The Hercules Sublunar blinked its large, black, and round eyes, as if it was unfamiliar with this name.


    "Once the Heavenly Book is written, all demons submit!"


    Lu Yang gave a clear shout and the ancient book immediately opened, the blank pages releasing a dazzling golden light.


    The Hercules Sublunar only felt a burst of glaring light, and quickly closed its eyes.


    Then, he thought about how he shouldn''t let the other party disappear from his sight when he was facing off against an enemy. He hurriedly opened his eyes, but discovered that his huge body had already been enveloped by a golden light, and his body was being surrounded by inhibition.


    Dong!


    Realizing that the situation was not good, the Hercules Sublunar stomped its feet on the ground heavily. A tyrannical power exploded out from its body, causing the forest to tremble, but the golden light beam was not scattered by it.


    "Just what kind of power is this ¡­" Surprise emerged in the eyes of the Hercules Sublunar.


    "To be able to resist the golden light of the Demon Subduing Golden Light of the Heavenly Book, your strength has somewhat exceeded my expectations." Lu Yang said while laughing.


    "This... Of course! " The Hercules Sublunar tried its best to put on a fierce look, "I am the Hercules Sublunar, the strongest Magical Beast in this forest!"


    The corner of Lu Yang''s mouth drew back, "It''s precisely because it''s the strongest that it''s worth taming ¡­"


    As soon as he finished his words, Lu Yang activated the Devil Subduing Heavenly Book once more. The golden light shrouding the Leviathan suddenly flared up and the bright light blocked out the moonlight.


    "This is bad!"


    The Hercules Sublunar thought that something was wrong, but it was too late.


    Under the cover of the golden light, the figure that was half as tall as an ordinary person and wider than two people combined was like a deflated balloon, shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    After a dozen breaths, the enormous creature''s body had already become the size of half a palm ¡­


    "Come here."


    Lu Yang laughed and shouted the word "stop". The beam of light suddenly condensed, transforming into many strange golden words, as it surrounded the shrinking Leviathan.


    Finally, with a flash of light, the dispirited Magical Beast was absorbed into the Devil Subduing Heavenly Book.


    Lu Yang calmed his mind, and the golden light over the ancient book dimmed as well. Then, the book turned into a golden incantation, and finally dissipated into light dust ¡­


    The Devil Subduing Heavenly Book had disappeared from Lu Yang''s hand and reappeared in his body.


    Lu Yang''s heart moved slightly as he flipped open the Heavenly Book. A picture of the Hercules Sublunar suddenly appeared on the first page, but his face showed that he had nothing to live for.


    Lu Yang laughed, and separated a wisp of his spirit energy to enter the Heavenly Tome Monolith, then a clone of his consciousness appeared within the The Heavenly Book World.


    The Hercules Sublunar appeared in front of Lu Yang once more.


    However, it was not the colossal body, but a miniature version.


    The Golden Moonlight Bear''s facial features and body size did not change. It was only small in size, but it gave off a feeling as if it were two different beasts.


    Before, it gave off a sense of oppression, but now, it would only make this tiny animal cute.


    Creak ¡ª


    Seeing Lu Yang''s sudden appearance, the Moonlight Bear seemed to be shocked. It hurriedly jumped up from the ground and ran around like a headless fly.


    In the end, it realized that it had nowhere to hide in this boundless prairie, and thus, it dejectedly accepted the fact that it had to face Lu Yang.


    The Moonlight Bear turned around, its tiny body trembling slightly. It mustered up enough courage to look at the tall Lu Yang in front of it.


    "Humble, despicable human!"


    The Moonlight Bear opened its bean-sized eyes wide, trying to make itself look as angry as possible. But even so, it was unable to make anyone feel its anger. In fact, its appearance was somewhat ¡­ Lovely.


    "You actually dare to use this kind of perverted method to plot against me? If you have the ability, then we can fight again in broad daylight!" The little Moonlight Bear said angrily.


    Lu Yang looked down at the moon-shaped Magical Beast that did not have the slightest bit of power, and asked with a gentle smile: "Are you sure?"


    "Ugh ¡­"


    The Moonlight Bear looked at the giant in front of it and then looked at its slim body that looked like it would be stepped on. The courage it mustered with great difficulty disappeared in an instant.


    "Just wait until the full moon... As long as I am able to return to my strong, giant bear form under the full moon, you will not be my match! " The Moonlight Bear stubbornly wanted to save its face.


    "What do you mean by recovering ¡­" That''s your true appearance, isn''t it? " Lu Yang laughed and mercilessly exposed the truth.


    The Moonlight Bear''s facial expression changed drastically!


    ¡ª If you could see its face.


    "I am the Moonlight Golden Silk Bear!" It was a bear! Bear! It''s not a mouse! "


    The Moonlight Bear clenched its fist and roared. However, it didn''t seem as if the guy staring at it with a smile was listening?


    "Dammit! If this guy calls me a mouse again, I''ll ¡­ I''ll ¡­"


    The Moonlight Bear grinded its teeth as it faced Lu Yang, its heart wanting to teach him a lesson. But then, it suddenly remembered that there was a huge difference in strength between the two, so it could only dispel this unreliable thought.


    "If he cries out again, I''ll correct him again!" The Moonlight Bear was at a loss for a long time before finally giving himself an acceptable explanation.


    "This Rat... Pui! This Lord Xiong is magnanimous, I won''t bother about you! "


    The Moonlight Bear angrily puffed up its cheeks. It crossed its arms and looked incredibly prideful ¡­ She proudly turned her head away.


    "Hello."


    Lu Yang''s voice came from the front.


    The Moonlight Bear initially didn''t want to pay any attention to it, but it couldn''t help but be curious. It slightly turned its head, wanting to steal a peek.


    But he was caught by Lu Yang.


    "I say," Lu Yang said with a smile, "do you want to be my pet, Xiao Yueyue?"


    "Xiao Yueyue?!"


    The Moonlight Bear almost vomited blood. However, this was not the time to be conflicted. "Our Moonlight Golden Silk Bear is a Magical Beast that has been favored by the Moon, it will not surrender to a human!"


    This righteous rejection did not dispel Lu Yang''s thoughts. The smile on his face did not even change, but the Golden-Striped Bear was beginning to feel uneasy.


    "So it''s like that ¡­" That would be a pity. "Since that''s the case, there''s no use in keeping you alive ¡­"


    As Lu Yang''s soft words fell, the Golden-Striped Bear suddenly felt a chill on its back.


    Its current situation was completely like the meat of a fish being butchered by Lu Yang ¡­

 C46

    The Moonlight Bear stared at Lu Yang with eyes filled with fear. "What ¡­ what are you trying to do?"


    "Since it''s useless, there''s no need to keep it ¡­" Lu Yang said in a matter-of-factly tone, "Then naturally, we will proceed with the destruction of humanity."


    "How can he be so humane!" The Moonlight Bear roared in its heart, but it didn''t have the courage to shout out loud.


    As the fear in its heart grew, the Moonlight Bear''s expression changed, as if it was struggling with itself.


    "Then that''s it."


    The five words that came out of Lu Yang''s mouth were the final verdict of that weak Magical Beast.


    Pudong!


    Without waiting for Lu Yang to make his next move, the Moonlight Bear bent its knees and directly knelt in front of Lu Yang, "This little Yue Xun greets Boss!"


    This could be considered as recognizing someone as his master.


    Lu Yang was very satisfied with the result he expected.


    Tsssss.


    At this time, the dust around Yue Xun floated up, and it revealed a shocked expression on its face as it tried to escape from this natural restraining power. However, that strange light had formed into a golden imprint the size of a fingernail, and imprinted itself into its body.


    "I''m going to die!"


    Yue Xun let out a desperate wail, and then he fell to the ground, motionlessly.


    Lu Yang was unmoved by his words. "Enough, Xiao Yueyue. This [Holy Seal of Suu] won''t cause any harm to you. Hurry and get up."


    Hearing this, Yue Xun who was lying on the ground moved his finger. After confirming that he was indeed still alive, he slowly got up from the ground, looking as if he had just escaped from a calamity.


    Lu Yang didn''t know whether to laugh or cry at this little thing: This guy really likes to play tricks ¡­


    Yue Xun rubbed his soft stomach. "That golden seal just now... "What is it?"


    "That''s the Pudu Seal." Lu Yang explained, "Even though it was also created by a buddhist art, under my control, it will temporarily not cause you harm. Furthermore, it will also cleanse the Demonic Qi in your body ¡­ When all the Demonic Qi are gone, you will be able to leave the ranks of the Magical Beast and become a spirit beast. "


    "Spirit beast?" Yue Xun was instantly overjoyed.


    However, it soon realized that something wasn''t right. "Boss, you just said..." "For the time being, what does'' not cause me harm ''mean?"


    Lu Yang''s smile became profound: "Meaning is, if you don''t listen to me obediently in the future, I can''t guarantee that the Sacred Seal won''t suddenly explode."


    If the sacred seal that contained buddhist arts erupted within his body, with Yue Xun''s weak body, he would not be able to escape death. No, there was nothing left of him!


    Thinking about it, Yue Xun stopped trembling.


    "I will do my best to be loyal!" Yue Xun quickly expressed his opinion.


    Lu Yang just smiled.


    "In that case, I have something to ask you first." Lu Yang suddenly said.


    "Boss, feel free to ask. This little one will tell you everything I know!" Yue Xun tried to curry favor with them.


    Your family of Moonlight Golden Silk Bears should only be Spirit Level Magical Beast and its body is only the size of a palm. Although you can obtain some strength under the full moon, it''s only an increase in speed.


    Lu Yang stared at Yue Xun.


    Yue Xun''s eyes flickered, as if he was thinking of something.


    Lu Yang did not expose it, he only looked at it with a smile.


    Yue Xun looked at the smile on Lu Yang''s face and felt his hairs stand on end. He hesitated for a moment, then met Lu Yang''s gaze and vaguely replied: "I accidentally ate a Heterocarp before, and then I became like this ¡­"


    "Is that so?" Lu Yang smiled.


    "After eating that Heterocarp, I also found many spirit medicines. When I ate more spirit medicines, my power also became stronger." Yue Xun added, embarrassed.


    "Is that so?" The smile on Lu Yang''s face did not change.


    "Yes ¡­" It was after eating the Heterocarp that I acquired the ability to sniff out the Spirit Element, and through this ability I was able to find other spirit medicines. " Yue Xun lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty.


    "Is that so?" The smile in Lu Yang''s eyes became wider.


    "..." After I ate that Heterocarp, my body refined an Aurous Core, which is why I was able to obtain this ability. " Yue Xun stared at his feet, he did not dare look into Lu Yang''s eyes.


    "Is that so?" Lu Yang''s voice also seemed to contain a smile.


    "¡­"


    Yue Xun crazily wanted to scratch the wall, don''t force me, boss! I''ve already said it, if I continue, I''ll be making it up!


    "Alright."


    Lu Yang said something that Yue Xun felt had been pardoned.


    Yue Xun quietly looked up and nervously looked at Lu Yang.


    Lu Yang didn''t have any intention of continuing to question him, and slowly said: "Don''t worry, I''m not interested in the Beast Yuan Jindan that has mutated in your body."


    Hearing that, Yue Xun''s eyes flashed.


    A mutated Magical Beast would produce a "Beast Yuan Jindan", it could be said to be one of the rarest materials in the world, it was definitely a treasure that all cultivators rushed to obtain!


    But now, this treasure was right in front of Lu Yang, how could he not be tempted?


    Yue Xun was skeptical of Lu Yang''s words.


    What Lu Yang said next almost made Yue Xun spit out blood: "The Beast Yuan Jindan in your body is probably not much bigger than beans. I''m not going to kill myself for such a small thing."


    "¡­"


    Discrimination, ah. This was completely discrimination!


    No matter how small the mosquito is, it''s still a meat boss. Have you ever heard of it?


    Yue Xun howled in his heart. It never thought that a treasure that was vital to its life would one day be despised by others ¡­


    Seeing that Lu Yang was truly not interested in the Beast Yuan Jindan, Yue Xun''s perturbed heart finally calmed down a little.


    "That''s right ¡­"


    The moment Lu Yang opened his mouth, Yue Xun couldn''t help but become anxious, "You just said that you have the ability to sniff the Spirit Element?"


    Hearing that Lu Yang''s question had nothing to do with the Jindan, Yue Xun heaved a sigh of relief again, "This is a special ability that I acquired after refining the Jindan. Normally, my probing range would be three hundred meters, if you focus, then my probing range would be more than ten thousand meters!"


    "Oh ¡­" Lu Yang immediately understood, "This must be the reason why you were able to find so many spirit medicines and consume them."


    Yue Xun nodded with satisfaction.


    "However, if we are only able to eat Spiritual Spring Level from several hundreds of meters away, isn''t that a bit too inefficient?" Lu Yang questioned.


    Yue Xun puffed his cheeks and argued for himself: "I''ve only been able to acquire this ability for a few months!"


    Lu Yang smiled and stared at it without saying a word.


    Yue Xun''s swollen cheeks shriveled up, and his beard drooped: "Alright ¡­ "I admit that my words are exaggerated, but in reality, under normal circumstances, the probing distance would only be 300 meters. If I use my full strength, my detection limit would be 1000 meters ¡­"


    Lu Yang was still smiling, still staring at it, still not saying a word.


    "¡­" Yue Xun lowered his head to look at his feet, "Alright, using my strength to probe the limits has consumed a lot of my energy, and it will take me at least a month to recover, so I normally won''t use it."


    Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction.


    If Yue Xun could detect the resources of the Spirit Element at will, then the entire Green Python Mountain Range''s spirit medicine would be in its grasp. Then, its mutation speed should also be astonishingly fast, it shouldn''t be at the level of Spiritual Spring Level.

 C47

    After taking Yue Xun into the Devil Subduing Heavenly Book, Lu Yang quickly obtained all the secrets of its body from its mouth.


    "Since you have this ability, then it''s fine. I have something that I need you to do."


    As Lu Yang spoke, he didn''t wait for the Moonlight Bear''s response. With a thought, a golden light surrounded the strange beast, and by the time it had regained its senses, it had already appeared in the outside world, standing on top of Lu Yang''s palm.


    The moon had already set. Even if Yue Xun went back outside and lost the light of the moon, he would no longer be able to transform into that enormous body.


    It obviously knew about this, and its eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, showing a cautious expression.


    The Moonlight Bear''s current appearance was weak. The outside world was an extremely dangerous environment for it.


    Swoosh swoosh.


    The sound of winds breaking came out from behind Lu Yang. The slender figure seemed to be frightened as she ran around randomly and actually sneaked into Lu Yang''s sleeve.


    "Lu Yang?"


    At this moment, a clear and melodious female voice sounded from behind Lu Yang, carrying some suspicions, and also some worry.


    "Jiang Xiaojie."


    Lu Yang turned and smiled to Jiang Xinyu.


    Jiang Xinyu sized Lu Yang up weirdly, and tried to confirm several times, but he still couldn''t find any injuries on his body.


    But she still asked, "You ¡­ Are you alright? "


    Lu Yang laughed and asked back: "What can I do for you?"


    Jiang Xinyu was stunned. She was worried for Lu Yang, who stayed behind to deal with the Magical Beast, but when she came over to look, she found that this fellow looked like nothing. Not only was there not a single scratch on his body, he didn''t even seem to be stained in dirt.


    How could Miss Jiang, who had specially come here, endure this?


    "Didn''t Jiang Xiaojie leave first? Why did she come back?" Lu Yang asked casually.


    The expression in Jiang Xinyu''s eyes changed slightly, and she avoided Lu Yang''s gaze, "We will follow the plan and leave first, but I waited for a while and didn''t get the chance to meet up with us. "I was worried that the situation might have changed, so I came over to check ¡­"


    Jiang Xinyu spoke in a euphemistic tone, but Lu Yang knew that she was worried about him, and felt a bit of warmth in his heart.


    Scanning across the battlefield with her eyes, Jiang Xinyu found it hard to understand the situation on the battlefield: "Then Moonlight Leviathan ¡­ "Where did you go?"


    "Oh, you''re talking about it ¡­"


    Lu Yang laughed as his sleeves shook, and a ball of yellow hair rolled out from his sleeves and landed in his hands.


    then raised his hand in front of Jiang Xinyu and spread open her fingers. The thing that was curled up into a ball also stretched out its limbs in confusion, revealing its true face in front of Jiang Xinyu.


    "Ya!"


    Even with Jiang Xinyu''s cold and clear personality, she couldn''t help but exclaim out loud the moment she saw Yue Xun.


    "This... "What exactly is this?"


    Jiang Xinyu stared at the fluffy little animal in Lu Yang''s hand in disbelief, and was speechless for a moment.


    "This is the Hercules Sublunar," Lu Yang said casually. "Come, Xiao Yueyue, let''s exchange pointers with young miss Jiang."


    Yue Xun angrily turned his head to glare at Lu Yang, as if he wanted to correct his title, but when he saw the latter''s smiling face, he dispelled this useless thought.


    "Greetings, Jiang Xiaojie."


    Yue Xun greeted Jiang Xinyu politely.


    Jiang Xinyu''s face revealed unconcealable shock!


    The transformation of the Moonlight Leviathan into such a small beast was already far beyond her expectations ¡­ And the Vicious Beasts that caused the Qingta City cultivators to feel fear, was now as obedient as a trained puppy in Lu Yang''s hands?!


    This... What was going on!?


    "Little Yue Xun," Seeing the astonishment on Jiang Xinyu''s face, Yue Xun explained, "It''s a member of the Moonlight Golden Silk Bear Clan, a Golden Silk Bear, a bear ¡­"


    Yue Xun emphasized the word on his own name a few times before continuing, "We, the Guang Yue Clan, have the talent to absorb the moonlight essence. We can recover our true colors under the full moon for a short period of time.


    Hearing how Yue Xun was shamelessly trying to reverse the cause and effect, Lu Yang didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. "Don''t listen to this guy''s nonsense. Now is its original appearance. "


    "Boss!" "How can you take down my position!" Yue Xun protested loudly, but it was obviously useless.


    Jiang Xinyu finally understood and nodded her head, looking at Yue Xun with eyes full of curiosity ¡­ This small animal did indeed look exactly like the Hercules Sublunar, but its size had been reduced to a mini size.


    Strangely enough, when the great miss Jiang who treated everyone coldly and looked at the small Hercules Sublunar, a trace of gentleness actually appeared in her eyes.


    "It''s called... Xiao Yueyue? "


    The young miss Jiang sounded a bit softer now.


    As expected, women had no resistance against things that were adorable ¡­


    Yue Xun was very dissatisfied with this. Just as he was about to wave his claws and protest, he saw that Jiang Xinyu wanted to get close to him.


    "Alright," Yue Xun lowered his hands and said helplessly. "Xiao Yueyue will do it, it''s good that you guys like him ¡­"


    It knew that this form of address could not be avoided, so it could only accept reality.


    "Someone is approaching!"


    Yue Xun''s Spirit Element''s probing ability was also effective against living beings. After shouting out like an alarm, he immediately hid back into Lu Yang''s sleeves like a wisp of smoke.


    Jiang Xinyu immediately became alert, but it was as if Lu Yang had already expected it, and did not have any special reactions.


    A human figure walked out from the forest at the side. The face that was illuminated by the flames was no stranger to Lu Yang and Yue Yang.


    "Luo Shan?" Jiang Xinyu was very surprised with the appearance of this person.


    "Young Master Lu Yang... Are you okay? Really ¡­ "Awesome."


    Luo Shan looked at Lu Yang with a strange expression for an instant, then revealed a happy expression.


    "What about the Hercules Sublunar? Was it solved by the Young Master Lu Yang? " Luo Shan scanned his surroundings, but did not find the corpse of the gigantic creature.


    "Mm ¡­" Lu Yang vaguely replied, "It can be considered as solved."


    Luo Shan was alarmed, the Vicious Beasts that had already injured more than ten Spiritual Spring Level cultivators was actually taken care of by this young man who had just emerged from the shadows?


    "The strength of the Young Master Lu Yang is truly tyrannical." Luo Shan sighed once again.


    Lu Yang laughed, and declined to comment.


    "Why did you come here? Where are the people from the Jiang Family?" Jiang Xinyu asked.


    Luo Shan let out a long sigh: "Originally, we had followed Eldest Miss''s instructions and quickly evacuated to the nearby mountaintops. Afterwards, when Eldest Miss left, we encountered a group of Magical Beast s. The team has been scattered. "


    Jiang Xinyu frowned.


    Luo Shan secretly glanced at Lu Yang, but there were still no obvious changes on that youth''s face.

 C48

    Luo Shan reunited with Jiang Xinyu, but brought bad news that the people from Jiang Family had been scattered.


    "The guy hiding in the dark has finally made his move?"


    A thought flashed past Jiang Xinyu''s mind, but she maintained her composure.


    "I''ve already cleaned up the people who were here to cause trouble, and the camp didn''t suffer too much damage. Let''s spend the night here, if the rest of Jiang Family escape, they might return here as well." Lu Yang suggested.


    Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment, then expressed her agreement, but Luo Shan naturally did not object.


    The three of them tidied up the areas that were messed up by the Hercules Sublunar and waited for a while longer. However, they still did not manage to find anyone else from the Jiang Family.


    It was already deep into the night, and the three of them prepared to rest.


    As the captain of the Jiang Family Protectors, Luo Shan voluntarily proposed to stand guard at night. Thinking about how he was previously injured by the Hercules Sublunar, Jiang Xinyu did not want him to work too hard.


    After discussing for a while, they finally decided to take turns guarding. Luo Shan first, Jiang Xinyu second and finally Lu Yang.


    Luo Shan arranged for them to be on guard duty first, and then Lu Yang called for Jiang Xinyu to stop before they returned to their own tents.


    "Xiao Yueyue knows that the Spirit Element is not bad, and is able to sense cultivators and Magical Beast within a hundred meters. Tonight, let it follow you."


    Lu Yang reached out his hand. This time, Xiao Yueyue had already climbed out of her sleeve obediently and stood on his palm.


    "The most reliable servant, I am of service to you."


    Xiao Yueyue pretended to bow towards Jiang Xinyu. It seemed to be in a good mood because of Lu Yang''s previous praise.


    Jiang Xinyu originally wanted to reject, but after hesitating for a moment, she still extended her white jade-like hand out.


    Xiao Yueyue immediately climbed onto Jiang Xinyu''s hands.


    After separating, the two went back to their respective tents and rested.


    The first half of the night was quiet and peaceful. Jiang Xinyu took a short nap, estimated that it was her turn, then stood up and tidied up a bit, then walked out of the tent.


    Xiao Yueyue was woken up from her beautiful dream with a face full of unwillingness. However, when she saw Jiang Xinyu''s elegant and beautiful face, the grievance in her heart was completely swept away and she obediently went into Jiang Xinyu''s sleeves.


    Walking out of the tent, Jiang Xinyu''s gaze swept one round around the camp, and finally stopped on the tent that Lu Yang lived in.


    She looked at the dead tent for a moment, but said nothing.


    "Eldest Miss."


    Seeing Jiang Xinyu walking over, Luo Shan, who was dozing off, forced himself to stay alert.


    Jiang Xinyu''s ice-cold gaze also seemed to have changed a bit, but her voice did not reveal any of her emotions. "The others ¡­ Did you not return to the camp? "


    Luo Shan shook his head: "No ¡­ Maybe it''s because it''s dangerous at night, so they all found a place to spend the night first. "


    Jiang Xinyu nodded his head, without a doubt, he said: "It''s been hard on you, it''s my turn to stand guard, you should go back and rest."


    "Alright."


    Luo Shan did not try to be brave, and replied and yawned as he headed back to the camp.


    Jiang Xinyu saw Luo Shan''s tired expression, but didn''t say anything. The two of them walked in opposite directions.


    But, just as the two of them were crossing paths, a cold light flashed past Luo Shan''s eyes, his lifeless eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, full of killing intent!


    Weng! *


    A buzzing sound could be heard, but it did not stop. Luo Shan held his steel blade and slashed diagonally, aimed straight for Jiang Xinyu''s head!


    The change was extremely sudden, extremely fierce and extremely fast!


    But Jiang Xinyu''s reaction was even faster, and her movements even faster!


    As if she was prepared, she twisted her slender waist, and her body gracefully flashed out. When she landed on the ground, she was already several meters away.


    And Luo Shan''s sneak attack also naturally missed.


    This attack failed, causing Luo Shan to be rather surprised. He looked at the great miss of Jiang Family in front of him and asked, "It looks like you were prepared a long time ago?"


    Jiang Xinyu met Luo Shan''s gaze that brimmed with killing intent. Her eyes were complicated, but she did not reply.


    "I thought I had been hiding it well, but I didn''t expect you to suspect me." Luo Shan laughed, as though he was laughing at himself.


    Jiang Xinyu looked at Luo Shan coldly: "I have never doubted you, I only ¡­ No one is trusted. "


    Luo Shan was startled, then reacted, laughing out loud: "Hahaha ¡­ "Good, what a good ''not trusting anyone''!"


    "Looks like I have underestimated you ¡­" "I thought that because of the change in your Lu Family, after all the experts left, you would have no one to rely on, so I had no choice but to rely on.


    "I really do rely on you."


    Even though he had been betrayed, Jiang Xinyu''s emotions did not seem to have changed much, and it was unknown whether his expression was ice cold or numb.


    "I don''t understand, why did you betray the Jiang Family?" Jiang Xinyu looked straight into Luo Shan''s eyes, as if she wanted to get her answer from there.


    "Why?" Luo Shan laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous, "Humans die for wealth, while birds die for food."


    Jiang Xinyu did not understand, "Jiang Family have always been good to you."


    "Not bad, so what?" Luo Shan sneered, "The Jiang Family is declining day by day and removing it is only a matter of time. I don''t want to die on this ship that''s about to sink!"


    Jiang Xinyu was stung by Luo Shan''s words and her eyes finally showed some slight changes, but it only flashed by.


    "Stop. With your The Psychic Realm''s strength, you aren''t my match." Jiang Xinyu said.


    Luo Shan laughed contemptuously: "That''s right, First Miss'' early stage Spiritual Spring Realm is considered quite strong in the entire Qingta City. With my strength, it is obviously impossible to deal with her, but ¡­. Who says I am alone? "


    Inside Jiang Xinyu''s sleeves, a small claw suddenly tugged at her sleeve, immediately raising her guard.


    "Roar!"


    As soon as Luo Shan finished speaking, an Vicious Beasts flew out of the dense forest to Jiang Xinyu''s left, directly towards her.


    Although Jiang Xinyu was shocked, and her body moved to dodge it, when she retreated a few steps back, a corner of her dress was also torn, but she was not injured.


    "Oh?"


    This scene surprised Luo Shan.


    The Fierce Claw Tiger had also restrained its Qi and hid it by the side. Logically speaking, it should not have been discovered, but why was Jiang Xinyu dodging it again?


    Luo Shan was bewildered, but he did not know that Jiang Xinyu was not alone in the battle. Xiao Yueyue had long warned her about the Magical Beast lying in ambush nearby.


    "And those three Fierce Claw Tigers in the grass, call them out as well." Jiang Xinyu''s eyes were clear, her face did not have any fear.


    These words caused Luo Shan to be slightly shocked in his heart, but he had originally planned to end the battle quickly. He clapped his hands and three figures dashed out from the forest, just like the one that attacked Jiang Xinyu earlier, the Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast, Fierce Claw Tiger.


    Jiang Xinyu''s face finally turned serious.


    Amongst the four Fierce Claw Tigers that surrounded Jiang Xinyu, three of them were at the same level as Jiang Xinyu. The leader of the four Fierce Claw Tigers, with scars on his face, was most likely at the middle stage of the Spirit Spring.


    Jiang Xinyu, who was in an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and combat power, was surrounded by four Fierce Claw Tigers. It could be said that she was trapped in a situation where she had nowhere to run.

 C49

    Looking at Jiang Xinyu who was besieged by the Vicious Beasts, a smile appeared on Luo Shan''s face.


    "Eldest Miss, I know that your strength is extraordinary, but a lone wolf like you, under these circumstances, will definitely not be able to escape death!" Luo Shan''s eyes revealed a vicious look.


    Jiang Xinyu swept her eyes across the four Magical Beast that had sealed off all her paths, and her tone remained calm: "Luo Shan, do you think you can live a peaceful life even after killing me?"


    Luo Shan did not care about Jiang Xinyu''s threat at all, "I know as well as you how much strength Jiang Family you have right now, that you simply do not have the power to take revenge for you ¡­"


    "We do not have Jiang Family, but someone does." Jiang Xinyu stared straight at Luo Shan.


    "If you want to use the name of the Master Sun to scare me, I advise you not to waste your time ¡­"


    Luo Shan mocked: "Master Sun and your Jiang Family have always had a good relationship, this is something that I am very clear of as well, so I am more clear of it. Master Sun resides in the Gathered Treasure House, and to put it bluntly, is just an esteemed guest of your Jiang Family. "If he wanted to help, Lord Jiang would have shown up long before he died. Why wait until now?"


    Jiang Xinyu raised her brows.


    Luo Shan continued: "Master Sun and your Jiang Family only work together, his goal is the Dragonblood Herb. As for whether it is Jiang Family or other forces helping him search for it, I don''t think Master Sun would care at all!"


    Jiang Xinyu knew that she wouldn''t be able to use the Master Sun''s name to suppress this evil thief.


    "Hehe ¡­" This kind of courage and character far surpasses ordinary people, "Luo Shan''s eyes flashed with a cold light," It''s precisely because of this that there are people who are afraid that you will become a calamity in the future and point out that they want to take your life. "


    Jiang Xinyu was not moved. In such a desperate situation, she was still not willing to give up.


    But, with the Magical Beast surrounding him, where else could he go?


    "Relax ¡­"


    Just as Jiang Xinyu''s heart was sinking, she heard a faint but distinct voice from her shoulder.


    "As long as my boss attacks, Magical Beast of this level would not be able to withstand a single blow." Xiao Yueyue sounded extremely confident, as if the one with such a strong battle force was herself.


    Jiang Xinyu thought.


    Lu Yang... That''s right, this place was not far from the camp. As long as Lu Yang heard the noise and rushed over ¡­ As long as that Lu Yang who was calm in the face of everything came over ¡­


    "Humph!"


    Seeing Jiang Xinyu''s expression which had suddenly calmed down, Luo Shan gave a cold snort: "I know what you''re thinking, you must be delusional to think that Lu Yang will appear and save you ¡­. However, I can tell you clearly that he will not appear! "


    "Lu Yang''s appearance was indeed an anomaly in this mission," Luo Shan said hatefully. "If it wasn''t for him, your Jiang Family''s troops would have already died at the mouth of the Wolf With Yin Wind long ago!"


    Jiang Xinyu''s eyes flashed, what happened that day was indeed also done by Luo Shan.


    "That brat''s strength is extraordinary, I do not dare to rashly provoke him ¡­" "If he were to appear, I really wouldn''t have absolute confidence in being able to kill the two of you ¡­"


    Luo Shan laughed complacently, and continued: "So in order to prevent him from coming out to mess things up, I stuck a quiet note in his tent, no matter how fierce the battle here is, he wouldn''t hear anything."


    The strand of hope that had just ignited in Jiang Xinyu''s heart also dimmed down.


    "I''ve said enough. Eldest Miss, let''s get on our way!"


    Luo Shan bellowed, and the four Fierce Claw Tigers flew out at the same time, pouncing towards Jiang Xinyu from all four directions.


    Jiang Xinyu activated her Spirit Element and prepared to fight, but she also knew in her heart that even if she could resist one Vicious Beasts, she would definitely die under the claws of the other three!


    "Boss, if you don''t attack now, my little life will be over!"


    Seeing the four Vicious Beasts s rapidly getting bigger in front of his eyes, Yue Xun could no longer remain calm and shouted.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    Almost at the same time Yue Xun''s voice came out, a sharp cry sounded out from within the forest, and four small stones pierced through the wind!


    Boom


    Then, four deep sounds resonated out from Jiang Xinyu''s body. The four beasts came with an extremely fierce momentum, and the Magical Beast that was about to pounce in front of her, were actually blown away from the impact!


    "What?!"


    The sudden scene caused Luo Shan to turn pale with fright. Even Jiang Xinyu, who was preparing to fight with all her might, was frozen in place.


    "If you want to trap me, a single sound wave is far from enough ¡­"


    From the direction of where the concealed weapon was flying towards, a voice that sounded like a smile could be heard, followed by a calm and composed youth walking out of the dense forest with a smile that was exactly the same as the one that appeared in Jiang Xinyu''s mind.


    "Lu Yang!?"


    Luo Shan''s expression immediately changed, as if he was extremely fearful of this young man whose Qingta City had risen to fame recently.


    Lu Yang smiled and nodded towards Jiang Xinyu.


    Jiang Xinyu''s eyes flashed, but she did not say anything.


    On the other hand, Yue Xun who was leaning on her shoulder stood up, and shouted at Lu Yang: "Boss, if you had come a little later, our lives would have ended here!"


    Lu Yang ignored it, and his gaze turned towards the four Devil Tiger that were crawling on the ground, and finally locked onto Luo Shan''s body.


    Luo Shan''s face changed for a moment, but in the end, he gained the upper hand with his ferocious intent: "Young Master Lu Yang, this matter has nothing to do with you, I advise you not to wade in this muddy water!"


    Lu Yang laughed unconcernedly: "Seeing someone in danger yet not helping him, that does not conform to my principles, not to mention that this person is my friend."


    Luo Shan''s face turned cold: So this means that Young Master Lu Yang wants to interfere?


    With that, Luo Shan waved his hand. The four Vicious Beasts s stepped forward with extreme pressure.


    Lu Yang indifferently swept his eyes over the four Fierce Claw Tigers. "If you want to threaten me, this little bit of strength is far from enough."


    "I know that your strength is extraordinary, but these four Vicious Beasts are definitely not ordinary either ¡­ If you want to court death, I''ll grant you your wish! "


    Luo Shan, who was already unable to turn his head, let out an angry roar. The four Devil Tiger once again rose up, forming a fierce attack, and pounced towards Lu Yang furiously.


    Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!


    Lu Yang raised his hand and a few more stones flew out.


    The four Fierce Claw Tigers had previously suffered losses, so they did not dare to be careless. With a roar, a billowing roar erupted, turning those small stones into dust. Even the forest shook because of it.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    At the same time, a figure approached the four Vicious Beasts s. Before they could react, the person''s hand suddenly flashed with a cold light.


    Sword of Radiance!


    The Devil Tiger s did not even manage to see the appearance of the spirit sword clearly. All they could see was a sharp slash of light, followed by a cold light that magnified shockingly in the eyes of the Magical Beast.


    "Chi ~ ~ ~"


    Han Feng slashed four of the Vicious Beasts, and in the blink of an eye, Luo Shan was shocked to see three of the Fierce Claw Tigers were cut in half!


    Only the Devil Tiger with the scar on its face was able to escape death, but its neck had an additional wound that was a foot long, and was dripping with fresh blood ¡­


    This strike had actually killed three Fierce Claw Tigers that were strong enough to contend against experts of the same level, and even the one with the strength of the middle stage of Spirit Spring had been severely injured!


    After finishing all of this, Lu Yang said in a regretful tone, "As expected, I''m still not good at using swords ¡­."

 C50

    When Lu Yang made his move, in the blink of an eye, three of the four extremely powerful Devil Tiger were killed and one was injured ¡­


    Under such amazing results, he even "humbly" said that he wasn''t good at using swords?


    If this was called not being good at using swords, then who knew how many cultivators in the Qingta City committed suicide by slashing their necks in shame!


    Luo Shan did not have the time to care about the life and death of others.


    Lu Yang tilted his head and looked at Jiang Xinyu: "How do we deal with this guy?"


    Jiang Xinyu''s gaze flickered, and after a moment, as if she was sighing, she said, "Considering the fact that he has been in my Jiang Family for many years, please spare him this time ¡­"


    Hearing that, Lu Yang did not express any objections, and only lightly said one sentence: "Jiang Xiaojie has good morals ¡­ "You can go."


    Luo Shan was stunned, he also did not expect that this cold looking young miss Jiang would spare his life after he and Jiang Xinyu had shed all pretense of cordiality.


    The expression on his face changed a little, and Luo Shan seemed to sigh, and after looking at Jiang Xinyu once, he finally turned and left.


    Fierce Claw Tiger who was injured by Lu Yang had already lost his will to fight, and after Luo Shan left, Lu Yang and did not stop him.


    At this time, the smell of blood began to pervade the forest. The blood from the tiger carcasses that had been cut into two stained the grass red, causing the forest to look eerie and eerie.


    "They shouldn''t be coming back. They should be safe tonight. You should go back and rest. I''ll keep an eye on this place." Lu Yang looked at Jiang Xinyu.


    Jiang Xinyu shook her head, she did not say anything.


    Although she did not display it on the surface, the sudden betrayal of the person she could rely on for her Jiang Family was definitely not a small blow to her.


    Seeing that, Lu Yang did not try to advise anymore. He took out the Magic Cores from the tiger''s corpse, sprinkled some medicinal powder on it and covered the stench, he did not want to attract any other Magical Beast.


    The two stood silently in the woods.


    After an unknown amount of time, Yue Xun finally could no longer hold back anymore and shouted loudly: "You two better speak, if this continues any longer, I''ll suffocate to death!"


    Lu Yang smiled at it, which made Yue Xun''s heart tighten.


    "I allowed you to follow Jiang Xiaojie to remind sher of the ambush she might encounter, but why didn''t you discover those four Fierce Claw Tigers earlier?" Although Lu Yang''s words were a question, he had a smile on his face.


    Yue Xun''s eyes flashed, he just wanted to slap himself on the face: Why do I have to say it like that, if I let Lu Yang say something, wouldn''t that end already?


    Knowing that he could not avoid it, Yue Xun could only answer truthfully: "Those four Magical Beast were all not simple. They were not wild, and had undergone training and were able to restrain their auras to a certain degree. If I did not carefully investigate, it would be difficult to discover them ¡­"


    Lu Yang nodded slightly. It seemed that Yue Xun had the same method of probing the Magical Beast s as other cultivators, if the other party was not weaker than him, the probing difficulty would also increase.


    "However, in this way, one thing is certain." Lu Yang said.


    "What is it?" Yue Xun blinked his bean-like eyes and asked curiously.


    "With Luo Shan''s strength, he absolutely cannot order the Magical Beast around, much less train her ¡­ Therefore, there must be a Beastmaster behind him, and his level is not low either. " Lu Yangyouyou said.


    Jiang Xinyu''s eyes moved.


    As one of the "Nine Flows", although not comparable to alchemists, Beastmaster was still a highly respected profession.


    How many Beastmaster s there were in the Qingta City could be seen with a single look, and there were even fewer who could control Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast s ¡­


    When Jiang Xinyu thought about this, his expression did not change at all.


    However, Yue Xun expressed his anger on her behalf: "That Luo Shan really isn''t worth anything, he will eat yours, and even colluding with outsiders to deal with you ¡­ Why did you let him go? "


    Hearing this, Jiang Xinyu''s expression slightly changed. "My father died at Green Python Mountain Range half a year ago, so the family''s minds were unfocused and I had no choice but to shoulder the burden of Jiang Family. If not for him, I might not have been able to hold on until today ¡­"


    Luo Shan was not only a subordinate he could rely on, he was also an elder that he could be relied on.


    But precisely because of this, his betrayal had an even greater impact on Jiang Xinyu.


    As he spoke of these painful things, Jiang Xinyu''s tone was ice-cold, so indifferent as if he was talking about something small that had nothing to do with him ¡­


    Was it because the burden of the clan was too heavy that she had no choice but to face it with a strong demeanor, or was it because the surroundings were too dangerous that she had no choice but to bury her feelings and build up a strong armor to face it ¡­ Even if it was just a show of strength.


    Lu Yang did not want to continue this topic, so he looked at Yue Xun: "I''ll give you a chance to atone for your deeds, and use your probing abilities to find the Dragonblood Herb hidden in this forest."


    Jiang Xinyu''s eyes lit up. "Hmm?"


    Yue Xun stuck out his chest, "Miss Xin Yu probably doesn''t know yet, I am a rare beast that possesses the ability to detect Spirit Element.


    This fellow was really thick-skinned. Not only did he call himself a rare and unique beast, he was even able to lie so calmly.


    Jiang Xinyu''s eyes could not help but have a look of anticipation. If she could explore for thousands of miles, she would be able to reach the depths of the inner circle!


    "Cough, cough."


    Seeing that Jiang Xinyu seemed to believe Yue Xun''s words, Lu Yang helplessly coughed to remind him that the fellow who bragged earlier.


    It was only then that Yue Xun remembered that there was an insightful master present, who was about to be penetrated, and it was still able to circle around without changing its expression, "However, this is my ability after transforming under the full moon. Even though I am not in peak condition right now, it should not be a problem to explore an area of a few hundred meters."


    Jiang Xinyu was slightly disappointed, but it had only disappeared in a flash. To her, being able to explore a few hundred meters around was already enough to greatly increase the possibility of finding a Dragon Blood Demon Fruit.


    Yue Xun turned to Lu Yang and said, "Boss, you should also know that this kind of usage has a huge impact on my stamina, so after the things are done, I need to rest for a long period of time. Furthermore, I also need to eat a large amount of spirit medicine to replenish my stamina."


    Lu Yang nodded, indicating that he fulfilled Yue Xun''s request.


    Following that, Yue Xun indicated for Jiang Xinyu to place it on a rock not far away from him.


    As Yue Xun circulated the Spirit Element in its body, a speck of golden light appeared in its lower abdomen. Then, an unusual glow seeped out of its body, turning into an invisible ripple that slowly spread out like a ripple.


    When the undulations disappeared, another ripple also formed in Yue Xun''s body, and then spread.


    It took a full two hours for him to continuously display it. It was only until the sky lit up and the last probing wave disappeared in the dawn did Yue Xun finally open his eyes with incomparable exhaustion.


    Yet, Yue Xun''s entire mouse had become as haggard as if it had not eaten or slept for seven days and seven nights. It could be seen that this kind of usage really consumed a lot of its energy, no wonder it didn''t dare to carelessly use it.

 C51

    After using the probing technique for a while, Yue Xun was also exhausted. He waited for it to recover a bit before asking: "How is it?"


    Yue Xun struggled to raise his hand and waved it. Without saying a word, the Holy Seal of the Pu Du Clan inside his body released a golden light that wrapped around it. Afterwards, the light dissipated and its body disappeared before Lu Yang and Jiang Xinyu''s eyes.


    "Hmm?" Jiang Xinyu was slightly startled.


    "Don''t worry," Lu Yang explained, "Xiao Yueyue is fine, she''s just too tired, she went back to recuperate."


    As for where to go, Lu Yang did not say anything, and Jiang Xinyu did not plan to ask either.


    At this time, a tiny golden light flew out from the Devil Subduing Heavenly Book, and with a thought, that information current appeared in Lu Yang''s mind.


    It was a circular picture, and on it were hundreds of densely packed red dots.


    Lu Yang smiled as he understood: "It really did not disappoint us, we have already found all the spiritual medicines in a hundred mile radius. From now on, we just need to follow the map and search."


    After Jiang Xinyu heard this, a few not so obvious traces of happiness surfaced on her cold face.


    The morning sky brightened up very quickly, Lu Yang and Luo Hua City Mistress did not continue to rest, but instead, after resting for a bit, they left together to search for Spirit medicine.


    It had to be said that although Yue Xun looked a little unreliable, his detection abilities were not sloppy at all. The map that he gave Lu Yang could be said to be extremely accurate without a single mistake.


    After a few days, Lu Yang had already collected over a hundred medicinal herbs, and his harvest was even more than when the Jiang Family team entered the mountain.


    Lu Yang''s skillful herb picking skills also caused Jiang Xinyu, who was observing from the side, to be extremely surprised ¡ª The spirit medicine he collected, was actually not damaged in the slightest!


    It had to be known that there were a lot of different types of Spirit Medicines, and there was no lack of rare and precious types among them. Ordinary cultivators who did not understand would forcefully pick them, and they would easily cause harm to the Spirit Medicines, causing the price of the medicine to be greatly reduced. But Lu Yang''s men did not even make a single mistake!


    To be able to reach such a level, one must be a cultivator who was familiar with the characteristics of all kinds of medicinal herbs ¡­ Alchemists.


    Thinking about it, Jiang Xinyu could not help but look at Lu Yang a few more times.


    Lu Yang was digging for a Stone Root Flower.


    On the surface, this elixir looked like a flower growing in a crack in the stone, but in reality, its roots were embedded in the stone.


    Lu Yang was clearly aware of this point, he did not pull the Stone Root Flower up from the ground, but rather used his palm to break the growing Stone Root Flower stone, and gradually dispersed the stone outside, finally using his spirit fire to refine the stone fragments that were entangled with the roots.


    That''s right, it was spirit fire!


    Although Spiritual Spring Realm cultivators possessed the ability to condense Spirit Fire, it was still extremely difficult to control the fire according to one''s own will. One would need to undergo years of tough cultivation to be able to control the use of the Spirit Element to the point where it could be controlled as they wished.


    And this young Lu Yang, was actually able to do such a thing!


    "Could he be an alchemist?"


    This reasonable guess appeared in Jiang Xinyu''s heart, and she couldn''t help but raise her eyebrows.


    The position of an alchemist was simply too revered. Even after losing their Patriarch, their Jiang Family could barely hold out for so long, and all they relied on was that alchemist who resided in the Gathered Treasure House.


    Lu Yang did not notice the change in Jiang Xinyu''s expression, as he continued to carefully refine the stone fragments from the roots of the Stone Root Flower.


    Jiang Xinyu, on the other hand, quietly watched Lu Yang perform his technique, and naturally cast his gaze towards his hand. It was a rather thin and slender hand, and the flame that was floating on his palm illuminated his palm, making it look very warm.


    After concentrating for half an incense of time, the broken stones had finally been completely refined. Lu Yang then waved the thing in his hand towards Jiang Xinyu: "This kind of spiritual medicine has an extremely good effect on the damage to the meridians."


    With that, he kept the fifth grade spirit herb into the Cosmic Bag.


    "Alright, let''s head to the next location."


    Lu Yang said to Jiang Xinyu with a smile. The two of them moved and directly rushed into the valley in front.


    The map that Yue Xun had given his was all in Lu Yang''s mind, Jiang Xinyu did not ask, and followed silently.


    An hour later, the two of them entered the depths of the valley and stopped.


    "It should be somewhere nearby."


    Lu Yang scanned left and right, and the marking Yue Xun gave was only a rough outline. After all, within a few hundred kilometers of exploration area, it was impossible to be precise.


    Jiang Xinyu nodded, and the two split up to search the area.


    However, Yue Xun, who had never made any mistakes, seemed to have met with a mishap this time. The two searched for a long time, and practically searched the entire valley multiple times, but didn''t find even the shadow of a single spirit medicine.


    "Did something go wrong with the map?" Jiang Xinyu asked.


    Lu Yang muttered and shook his head, "I don''t think so, the map that Xiao Yueyue gave me was formed in his mind and transmitted to my mind through the sacred seal he gave me. There is nothing wrong with this process ¡­"


    Jiang Xinyu frowned, she saw Lu Yang''s gaze suddenly flash past.


    Without waiting for her to ask, Lu Yang had already rushed out. Even though Jiang Xinyu did not understand, she still followed closely behind.


    Lu Yang didn''t walk too far, he only came to a stop about twenty five meters behind Jiang Xinyu.


    Jiang Xinyu walked up and saw Lu Yang staring at the snake corpse beneath his feet.


    It was the corpse of a Two-headed Golden-Ringed Snake. Although this kind of Magical Beast had Spiritual Spring Level, its attack power was very ordinary and had no poison, so it posed no threat to ordinary cultivators.


    "Did you kill this Golden-Ringed Twin-headed Snake?" Lu Yang stared at the corpse and asked.


    "No," Jiang Xinyu replied, "When I was searching around this area, it died here."


    Jiang Xinyu also realized that there must be something wrong with the snake corpse, so he carefully examined it.


    She discovered that there was a strange wound on the back of the snake. The flesh was torn apart, but the fatal wound was actually two severed snake heads. The wound was very new, but no blood flowed out.


    "No wonder we couldn''t find any spiritual medicines from the valley even after searching for so long. So it turns out that ¡­" Someone got there first! " Lu Yang''s words surprised him.


    "Why do you say that?" Jiang Xinyu asked.


    "This snake was clearly decapitated not too long ago. Since it wasn''t us, it means that there must be a third person in the valley." Lu Yang revealed his deduction.


    Jiang Xinyu had already thought of this point, what she did not understand was how Lu Yang saw that the spirit medicine had been taken by someone.


    Without waiting for Jiang Xinyu to speak, Lu Yang revealed the answer himself: "The wound on the snake''s back is proof that the spirit medicine has been collected."


    Jiang Xinyu''s pupils shrank slightly: "Are you saying that the spirit medicine was originally grown on the back of this snake?"


    Lu Yang nodded, "To be exact, it grew inside the snake corpse''s body ¡­ He died before his head was cut off. "


    Jiang Xinyu coincidentally knew of a medicinal ingredient that grew in the body of a Magical Beast and killed its host when it matured ¡­


    "Dragonblood Herb!" Jiang Xinyu''s voice trembled slightly.


    Lu Yang slowly nodded his head, then shook his head, "The Golden-Ringed Twin-headed Snake does indeed have an extremely thin dragon bloodline, and the golden ring on its neck is the characteristic of the Golden Dragon bloodline. But other than that, this kind of Monster does not inherit any other kind of bloodline power ¡­"


    Lu Yang continued: "From this, we can conclude that what grew out of its body was a Dragonblood Herb, but ¡­."


    As he said till here, Lu Yang''s face also became somewhat grave.

 C52

    Looking at the corpse of the Golden-Ringed Double-headed Snake, Jiang Xinyu realized that there must be something written inside, so she asked Lu Yang: "But what?"


    "Generally speaking, after the Dragonblood Herb matures, it will kill the host. The host''s corpse will become its nourishment and become a dead object. If you want to pick the Herba Phellodendri from the corpse, you don''t need to kill the dead Monster again ¡­"


    Lu Yang looked at the two snake heads that were chopped off.


    "Maybe it''s just a whim of the herb picker?" Jiang Xinyu guessed.


    Lu Yang shook his head: "It''s not that simple. Look at the snake corpse, its blood inside had obviously been sucked dry long ago."


    Jiang Xinyu looked at the place where the head was cut off, and sure enough, there was not the slightest trace of blood flowing.


    Lu Yang replied, "After the Dragonblood Herb kills the host, it will suck the nutrients from the host''s corpse until it dies ¡­ But although the snake''s blood is dried, the corpse is not rotten, which means that after absorbing all the Blood of the Twin Dragon, the Herba Phellodendri found another way to absorb the nourishment. "


    Jiang Xinyu became more and more doubtful. She faintly felt that there was some kind of shocking truth behind it, but she was unable to grasp hold of it.


    Lu Yang took a deep breath, and finally revealed the truth: The only explanation was that the Herba Phellodendri was able to order the snake corpses around to hunt for more nourishment. In other words, the Golden-Ringed Double Headed Snake Corpse had already become a puppet of the Dragonblood Herb, and was attacking other Spirit Beasts everywhere!


    This shocking matter caused Jiang Xinyu''s gaze to tremble. "This ¡­ Is that possible? "


    It was truly unheard-of for a Herba Phellodendri to control a beast''s corpse!


    "The world is big and full of wonders ¡­" Lu Yang said meaningfully, "The Blood Dragon Herba Phellodendri was a monster in the first place, so it''s normal for something like this to happen to it."


    Jiang Xinyu muttered and nodded her head, in her heart she had already more or less believed in Lu Yang''s words.


    According to Lu Yang, the Dragonblood Herb could order the snake corpse to move and even attack other Magical Beast s, which also explained why there was a problem with Yue Xun''s marking.


    Lu Yang continued, "He thought that cutting down the snake head would be enough to kill the Herba Phellodendri, but he didn''t know that the double-headed snake had already died. So after a battle, he would definitely be injured."


    Jiang Xinyu stared at Lu Yang: "You can even deduce that?"


    Oh, "Lu Yang laughed, and suddenly pointed to the grass by his side," That''s not a deduction. Look, there are some bloodstains over there, and since there''s no blood on the Herba Phellodendri snake''s corpse, the blood must have been left behind by the herb gatherer.


    Jiang Xinyu stared blankly. She had thought that Lu Yang was really as foreboding as a god ¡­


    Lu Yang did not seem to feel the doubt in Jiang Xinyu''s eyes, he smiled at her: "That man is injured, she will not be able to get far, we can still catch him if we go now,"


    Jiang Xinyu''s eyes flashed, and only now did she remember this important matter. What Lu Yang had said just now confused her a lot ¡­


    "Judging from these bloodstains, that person''s injuries are not serious. They should only be superficial and wouldn''t have much of an impact. I''m afraid that he has already disappeared." Jiang Xinyu did not agree with Lu Yang''s argument.


    Lu Yang laughed, "His injuries are not serious, but with him carrying the Dragonblood Herb, it''s hard to say."


    "Hmm?" Jiang Xinyu could understand the meaning behind Lu Yang''s words.


    Lu Yang said: "Dragonblood Herb depends on sucking blood to live, and since the herb picker is injured, it has undoubtedly been given an excellent opportunity to break through. If it loses its puppet, it will definitely not let go of this opportunity."


    Jiang Xinyu still thought that this was a little exaggerated: "It''s just not a single herb, and it has already been plucked by someone. What else can it be?"


    "That is not an ordinary medicinal herb," Lu Yang said as his gaze slightly condensed, "That is a Herba Phellodendri ¡­ The real Herba Phellodendri. "


    Seeing Lu Yang being so sure, Jiang Xinyu no longer doubted him.


    This Herba Phellodendri was the reason why she entered the mountain this time, and she hoped to be able to find it.


    After the two of them reached an agreement, they didn''t waste any more time. After a brief identification, they flew toward the mouth of the valley.


    There was only one place to go into and out of the valley, so as long as Lu Yang and Yue Shan guarded the valley entrance, they could wait patiently until the person who picked the herbs appeared.


    The two of them ran at their full speed and soon arrived at the entrance of the valley. The situation here was as usual and it was impossible to tell if the person who picked the herbs had already left or not.


    "If that herb gatherer has already left the valley, it would be futile to wait any longer."


    Jiang Xinyu said worriedly.


    "Don''t worry, he hasn''t left yet." Lu Yang, on the other hand, looked extremely confident.


    Jiang Xinyu suddenly looked at Lu Yang in admiration. This youth still had that confident and calm smile on her face.


    She couldn''t help but wonder, just where did his confidence come from? If she could have half of him, perhaps many things would have been different ¡­


    As she was lost in thought, Jiang Xinyu suddenly realized that Lu Yang was also looking at him. Their gazes met, and the cold face of the young miss Jiang seemed to turn red.


    She quickly returned to her usual cold face and pretended that nothing had happened. "How can you be sure that he''s still in the valley?"


    Lu Yang smiled calmly. "Because ¡­ He''s here. "


    "Hmm?" Jiang Xinyu was slightly startled when she heard this.


    Without waiting for her to ask again, she had already sensed the approaching aura. The Spirit Element on the person''s body seemed a little familiar.


    "Hehe, Xin Yu, it looks like you guys have specifically been waiting for me here huh ¡­"


    A laugh came from the forest, followed by a young man walking out. He looked at Jiang Xinyu with a smile, and his eyes were blazing hot, when he glanced at Lu Yang, a cold light flashed past his eyes.


    "Zhou Shao..."


    Seeing him, Jiang Xinyu''s face also changed slightly.


    "It seems that you and this brat got along pretty well when I wasn''t around." Zhou Shao''s tone carried obvious ridicule.


    Jiang Xinyu''s face revealed a slight trace of anger: "Zhou Shao, please show some respect!"


    Zhou Shao smiled faintly, he did not seem to care about Jiang Xinyu''s anger at all.


    Lu Yang''s gaze swept across Zhou Shao''s body for a while and found the crimson red plant tied to his waist. However, it was not some sort of grass, but rather a flower, a blood flower!


    That flower was crimson like blood, bewitching and glistening. Although it appeared somewhat haggard from having its corpse removed, it still emitted a strange life force, as if it were alive.


    "Dragon-blooded Flowers ¡­"


    Lu Yang''s gaze was also moved by that unusual demon.


    Jiang Xinyu also quickly discovered the object at Zhou Shao''s waist, but she was not certain about it at all. "That Dragonblood Herb ¡­ You took it? "


    Zhou Shao was quite calm, "That''s right ¡­ But this wasn''t grass, this was flowers ¡­ "A spirit flower ¡­"


    As he said these words, Zhou Shao placed his palm on his waist, gently waving the strange blood flower.


    Just as his injured finger made contact with the demon flower, a faint stream of blood Qi floated out from the blood flower, and quietly wrapped around Zhou Shao''s hand, and then drilled into the wound on his finger.


    In the next moment, a strange wave of blood energy flashed across Zhou Shao''s eyes and disappeared in a flash.

 C53

    When Zhou Shao mentioned the Dragon-blooded Flowers, there was also a strange change in his eyes, as if there was a kind of change ¡­ Fascination.


    When Lu Yang saw this anomaly, his gaze congealed.


    Jiang Xinyu muttered to herself and said: "This Dragonblood Herb is useless to your Zhou Family. If you are willing to give it up, I will give you a satisfactory reward."


    Zhou Shao laughed mockingly, "With your current Jiang Family, what kind of reward can you give me to be satisfied?"


    Jiang Xinyu was startled.


    "Your father died after Green Python Mountain Range, and his Jiang Family has been declining day by day. Now, there''s only an empty shell left, right? I might not even be able to take out a hundred thousand Spirit Essence Stone ¡­ "


    Zhou Shao mercilessly exposed the difficult situation that he was in, and at the same time, a kind of vulgar heat rose in his eyes as he stared at Jiang Xinyu. I actually forgot, there''s still one more thing your Jiang Family can do that I''m very satisfied with. "


    Hearing the unkind words, Jiang Xinyu could not help but become angry.


    perhaps because he felt that furious gaze, Zhou Shao slightly restrained his drooling expression: "You don''t have to be so angry, I''m talking about you ¡­ with the Bluestone Ban on you. "


    Jiang Xinyu''s brows twitched. "You ¡­ You also want to get the Bluestone Ban in my Jiang Family? "


    Although she was doing his best to control himself, Lu Yang could still hear the trembling in his voice.


    However, Zhou Shao seemed to not care at all: "Your Jiang Family are weak, you basically do not have the power to hold Bluestone Ban ¡­ It''s time to move the positions of the three great forces of Qingta City! "


    The anger in Jiang Xinyu''s eyes slowly faded, only disappointment remained in her eyes, "So your Zhou Family... They are also after the Bluestone Ban. "


    "Within the Qingta City, which other power is not eyeing that prohibition?" Zhou Shao looked at Lu Yang sarcastically, "You think that the brat,, had some other motive for following you into the mountain? Don''t be naive! Their Lu Family have been dormant in the Qingta City for so many years, but regarding this opportunity to rise up, they are even more urgent than other powers ¡­ "


    Jiang Xinyu looked at Lu Yang with a complicated gaze.


    "Since you said it like that, I''m not afraid of making things clear. Hand over the Bluestone Ban and you can save your Jiang Family from disaster ¡­ If you are willing to marry me, my Zhou Family can guarantee that your Jiang Family will be complete ¡­ " Zhou Shao finally revealed his true face.


    However, Jiang Xinyu''s gaze became determined, "Don''t even think about it!"


    "Looks like the negotiations have failed." As Zhou Shao said that, his eyes became sharp, "Then we can only take action!"


    Dong!


    With that said, Zhou Shao had already leapt out and rushed towards Jiang Xinyu.


    Jiang Xinyu also did not expect that Zhou Shao would suddenly attack. When she came back to her senses, he had already closed in on Zhou Shao with his fist without any hesitation, causing Jiang Xinyu to have no choice but to quickly wave her palm to block.


    Bang.


    The sound of fists clashing rang out, and Jiang Xinyu''s body was immediately pushed back.


    Just as Miss Jiang Family was retreating, Zhou Shao took the opportunity to press forward. With a twist of his palm, a silver spear appeared in his hand under a flash of light.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    Without any hesitation, Zhou Shao threw out the silver spear in his hand. The piercing sound of wind could be heard as it went straight for Jiang Xinyu''s chest.


    Jiang Xinyu was shocked.


    Just then, a figure flashed out from the side. It was Lu Yang, and he raised the sword in his hand ¡ª ¡ª


    Ding!


    With a crisp sound, Zhou Shao''s spear was pulled away.


    Fierce Light Fist!


    However, although Zhou Shao was startled, he was not flustered, and immediately swung his fist, bringing along a dazzling and strange light as he ruthlessly smashed at Lu Yang. The tyrannical force of the punch swept up a wave of pressure.


    Boom! *


    Lu Yang waved his fist to meet the blow, but the normally unreal One South had exploded with tremendous power, directly pushing Zhou Shao back seven or eight steps.


    "Oh?"


    Looking at Zhou Shao who was stabilizing in front of him, Lu Yang''s gaze was worth pondering over.


    Jiang Xinyu''s voice came from behind him, "He''s also a young genius who has quite a great reputation for her Qingta City. Her strength is not mediocre, and is different from the Magical Beast you''ve encountered before ¡­"


    "Is he not weak?" Lu Yang laughed upon hearing this.


    Jiang Xinyu realised something and suddenly froze.


    Compared to the Monster that Lu Yang had encountered along the way, Zhou Shao''s strength was indeed stronger. However, he had barely managed to withstand a punch from Lu Yang and called him "his strength is extraordinary".


    That''s not right!


    Zhou Shao''s fighting strength was not weak, it was publicly recognized that only in front of such a tyrannical Lu Yang, would he look weak ¡­


    Therefore, it was truly infuriating to say that they were comparing themselves to each other.


    Jiang Xinyu looked at Lu Yang''s back, and her emotions suddenly became complicated.


    "He really does have some strength, but he''s not my opponent yet!"


    Zhou Shao bellowed as he rushed forward once again. At the same time, he thrust his silver spear, and the Spirit Element surged, transforming into a silver serpent.


    The silver serpent came out of its hole!


    In the blink of an eye, the spirit serpent silhouette had already arrived in front of Lu Yang.


    Jiang Xinyu turned pale with fright. The Zhou Family''s Silver Snake Spear Art was known for its speed, it was meant to heavily injure the opponent before he could even react!


    Sword of Radiance!


    In that moment of life and death, Lu Yang who looked like he was standing still on the spot suddenly moved, and instantly formed a beam of light.


    Bang!


    The two Psionic Skills s clashed, and the Spirit Element erupted, causing a strong wind that blew away a piece of the grass on the ground.


    After that, a figure within the thick smoke flew out and heavily crashed into a large tree. He then spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately lost consciousness.


    "Done."


    Lu Yang acted as if everything was normal.


    And Jiang Xinyu, who was behind him, was completely stunned!


    Jiang Xinyu, who was also known as the Qingta City''s Twin Wall, was the clearest about the strength of the two of them.


    But now, Zhou Shao was defeated in the second move by Lu Yang. This also meant that it would be very difficult for her to take three moves from Lu Yang!


    What truly surprised Jiang Xinyu was her unfathomable strength ¡­ It was one thing to deal with ordinary Magical Beast, but to be able to defeat a cultivator who could execute Psionic Skills so easily, how shocking was Lu Yang''s fighting strength?


    Lu Yang did not know of Jiang Xinyu''s astonishment, and stared at Zhou Shao who was in front of him, revealing a thoughtful expression.


    Jiang Xinyu regained her senses, her gaze looked at the unconscious Zhou Shao, and then slowly walked forward, her expression complex as she walked in front of him.


    After a while, Jiang Xinyu seemed to sigh, she bent down and reached for the blood flower on Zhou Shao''s body.


    Just then, Zhou Shao suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes!


    "Be careful!"


    Lu Yang suddenly shouted.


    Caught off guard, Jiang Xinyu only saw a sharp glint quickly magnified in her eyes ¡ª Zhou Shao''s silver spear was thrusting towards her!


    Even though Jiang Xinyu''s reaction was fast, and she tried her best to shift her body in the nick of time, barely dodging the vital parts of the attack, but she was still struck on the shoulder by the silver spear, and blood quickly dyed her clothes red.

 C54

    Jiang Xinyu originally wanted to go get the Dragon-blooded Flowers on Zhou Shao''s body, but Zhou Shao who was initially unconscious suddenly made a move and stabbed Jiang Xinyu!


    Feeling the pain from her shoulder, Jiang Xinyu moved extremely fast and retreated backwards, quickly pulling away from Zhou Shao.


    However, Jiang Xinyu''s wound was not light after all, she staggered when she landed, and suddenly, a pair of strong and strong hands grabbed her shoulders from behind, stabilizing her body.


    Jiang Xinyu''s back seemed to be leaning against an incredibly sturdy wall. Her heart skipped a beat as she turned her head slightly, and saw Lu Yang standing behind her.


    A touch of faint red clouds appeared on Jiang Xinyu''s beautiful face, and then, she noticed Lu Yang''s somewhat serious eyes looking straight ahead.


    Following Lu Yang''s line of sight, they only saw Zhou Shao, who was originally lying on the ground, standing up slowly. His eyes were strangely bloodshot as they emitted a demonic red glow.


    "Zhou Shao, you ¡­"


    Jiang Xinyu also noticed Zhou Shao''s abnormality.


    Zhou Shao turned a deaf ear to Jiang Xinyu as his blood red eyes burned with a fierce light.


    Dong!


    Zhou Shao''s figure suddenly shot forward, his speed almost double from his earlier movements!


    Jiang Xinyu only saw a blur before his eyes, and Zhou Shao was already right in front of them. The spear that she thrusted out shook, and more than ten spear heads appeared, forming a tight attack net that enveloped the two of them.


    Lu Yang who was behind Jiang Xinyu had suddenly appeared in front of her, without her knowing, and with a wave of her hand, a wave of sword light flashed, blocking all of Zhou Shao''s ferocious attacks!


    Ding ding ding ding ding ¡­


    The sound of metal clashing rang out unceasingly, and the tip of the spear created countless cracks on the ground.


    Jiang Xinyu watched in shock at the two men''s intense battle. Zhou Shao''s current attacks could be said to be crazy, she did not even know that Zhou Shao could unleash such a powerful battle force.


    However, even under Zhou Shao''s ferocious attack, Lu Yang was still able to calmly respond to it. It was just that the expression on his face turned a little serious.


    What kind of person was this, to actually let Zhou Shao, who had gone berserk, to unleash such a crazy attack, only be able to make him take it a little more seriously?


    Sssii ¡­


    While Jiang Xinyu was still stunned, a mouthful of blood sprayed out from the battle in front of her. Then, she saw that Zhou Shao''s right hand had been cut off by Lu Yang!


    But what made Jiang Xinyu even more surprised, was that Zhou Shao who had his right hand chopped off seemed to be unaware, he did not even make a sound, his left hand wielding a spear, he attacked Lu Yang even more fiercely.


    "Zhou Shao...?"


    Jiang Xinyu''s gaze turned solemn. This Zhou Shao, was simply too abnormal.


    Facing the increasingly crazy attack, Lu Yang calmly responded. Seizing the opportunity, he swung out with a heavy slash, ruthlessly striking Zhou Shao''s chest.


    Boom! *


    Zhou Shao, who had received a heavy blow, was immediately sent flying. After that, he fell heavily onto the ground, creating a long trail of blood. He twitched on the ground for a while, but was still unable to stand up again.


    Jiang Xinyu stared blankly at the heavily injured Zhou Shao. After a long while, she finally walked to Lu Yang''s side: "He ¡­ What exactly is going on? "


    "It''s the Dragon-blooded Flowers ¡­" Lu Yang answered, "It was the Dragon-blooded Flowers that corroded his consciousness and controlled his body."


    "Corrosion of consciousness... Control Body... Is that even possible? " Jiang Xinyu''s tone was filled with disbelief.


    Lu Yang continued: "Of course, normal Dragonblood Herb would not be able to do that, but the one on his body, is the Dragon-blooded Flowers ¡­ The plants that had no flowers now had flowers ¡­ This means that there is a high chance of the birth of the ''Demon Spirit'' from that grass ¡­ "


    "Demon Spirit?" Jiang Xinyu was puzzled.


    Lu Yang continued: "Dragonblood Herb s are originally a type of demon. According to what I know, this kind of special existence, under certain conditions, has the possibility of giving birth to intelligence. This kind of intelligence is called ''Demon Spirit''."


    Jiang Xinyu nodded slightly.


    She looked at the young man on the ground: "Then Zhou Shao, he ¡­"


    "Dead." Lu Yang resolutely and decisively came to a conclusion, "When he stood up again, he should have already been controlled by the Dragon-blooded Flowers and become that Demon Spirit''s puppet ¡­"


    Jiang Xinyu went silent, and only let out a deep sigh in her heart.


    Lu Yang walked forward, reached out his hand, and a suction force exploded. The blood flower that was tied to Zhou Shao''s waist was sucked into his hand.


    Buzz.


    The five fingers on which Lu Yang held the demon flower slightly opened, and a ball of unusual light wrapped around the blood colored flower. However, once the brilliance disappeared, the demon flower was still in his hands.


    Lu Yang was not too surprised by this. "Cosmic Bag can only be kept in dead objects, and cannot be included in living beings ¡­ Looks like this demonic flower is indeed the birth of a Demon Spirit. "


    This was also the reason why Zhou Shao did not put the beast in the Cosmic Bag after picking it.


    Hiss ¡­


    Just then, the demon flower seemed to have come to life, suddenly swaying gently, as though it was struggling in Lu Yang''s hands.


    At the same time, a faint bloody mist floated out from the demon flower, like a real and illusory tentacle, wrapping around Lu Yang''s palm and then spreading towards his body.


    "What is this?"


    Noticing the strange blood-colored aura, Jiang Xinyu walked over to Lu Yang''s side and asked.


    "It''s probably some kind of technique used by the Dragon-blooded Flowers," Lu Yang laughed as he replied, "I destroyed its puppet. In order to survive, it''s trying to turn me into a new puppet."


    Jiang Xinyu''s gaze congealed, but seeing Lu Yang''s relaxed appearance, it seemed as if he did not care about it at all.


    Weng! *


    Lu Yang''s hand trembled, and the blood Qi that had been wrapped around his arm immediately dispersed.


    That diluted blood-colored aura, had turned into a state where the naked eye could not see, and quietly floated towards Jiang Xinyu.


    Hiss!


    In the next moment, the blood aura suddenly condensed into a blood mist, and shot towards Jiang Xinyu as fast as lightning.


    "Be careful!"


    Facing such an unexpected turn of events, Lu Yang was also shocked. He shook his hand once again, and the blood mist around the Spirit Demon flower vanished into thin air, but the blood aura that seemed to be reaching towards Jiang Xinyu like tentacles did not dissipate!


    "Mental Energy?!"


    Lu Yang''s pupils slightly twitched.


    Before Jiang Xinyu could even react, the blood colored tentacle had already touched her shoulder, and directly drilled into her wound!


    Weng! *


    Jiang Xinyu''s mind suddenly buzzed, and her consciousness also started to wander. That kind of feeling, was as if her consciousness was being forcefully sucked away.


    As Jiang Xinyu''s mental strength weakened, the demonic red flower in her hand became even more beautiful.


    Dragon-blooded Flowers ¡­ It was corroding Jiang Xinyu''s consciousness!


    Jiang Xinyu felt the sky spin and the earth spin. She couldn''t even stand steadily and was about to fall to the ground. At this time, a hand grabbed her waist and in the next moment, a blurry image of Lu Yang appeared.


    "So this is how he looks when he isn''t smiling ¡­"


    The last thought appeared in Jiang Xinyu''s mind, and then her vision went black. Before she fainted, she could vaguely hear Lu Yang''s voice ¡ª ¡ª


    "If you want a puppet, I''ll give it to you ¡­"

    "Ugh ¡­"


    Jiang Xinyu struggled to open her eyes and found herself in a cave.


    There were a few pieces of Sunlight Stones hanging in the cave. They did not cause the inside of the cave to shine too brightly, but the gentle light they emitted allowed others to clearly see the situation inside the cave.


    Jiang Xinyu struggled to support her body as she tried to. Her head was still a little dizzy, and she had to put a lot of effort to remember.


    Thinking about that, Jiang Xinyu was startled, she immediately looked at his left shoulder, only to see that it was bandaged up, it seemed that the wound had already been treated.


    Jiang Xinyu looked carefully and found that the bandage was wrapped extremely meticulously. There were even some medicinal herbs placed on the wound.


    "Although the injury on your shoulder is not severe, if you don''t treat it soon enough, there will be problems. That''s why I decided to treat it on my own."


    A man''s voice came from the cave entrance. Jiang Xinyu looked up and saw the smiling Lu Yang.


    It was unknown if it was because of the light from the cave, but the youth''s face seemed somewhat pale.


    Jiang Xinyu and Lu Yang looked at each other, thinking about the matter of him treating her own injuries, their faces couldn''t help but turn red, and avoided his gaze: "Thank you."


    Lu Yang didn''t notice Jiang Xinyu''s abnormality and only smiled while nodding: "You have been in a coma for three days and three nights. You probably don''t have enough stamina to wake up now.


    As he said that, Lu Yang flipped his wrist, and a few fruits appeared in his hand.


    "Spirit Fruit?"


    Jiang Xinyu immediately recognized that the things in Lu Yang''s hands were actually a few second grade Spirit Fruit.


    "These Spirit Fruit will be beneficial to your recovery." Lu Yang handed the Spirit Fruit over to Jiang Xinyu, "Also ¡­ This is Xiao Yueyue''s recommended, and is said to be one of the most delicious Spirit Fruit in Green Python Mountain Range. "


    "Xiao Yueyue?"


    In Jiang Xinyu''s mind, she recalled that strange beast''s honest look.


    Lu Yang nodded his head, and said somewhat helplessly: "That guy is a complete glutton. It has detected the location of all the spirit medicines in the surrounding area, and has consumed a lot of them. I can only find spirit medicines to supplement it, but who would have thought that this guy''s mouth is so tricky, eating Spirit Fruit s does not care about the grade, only the taste."


    After saying that, Lu Yang pointed to the few Spirit Fruit in Jiang Xinyu''s hands. "This is its favorite kind of Spirit Fruit.


    Jiang Xinyu was moved: "Help me thank it."


    Lu Yang smiled and nodded.


    Jiang Xinyu picked up a Spirit Fruit and took a bite, the sweet juice immediately entering her mouth, and immediately lifted her spirits.


    "That Dragon-blooded Flowers... "How is it?"


    Only now did Jiang Xinyu remember this matter, feeling a lingering fear in her heart.


    "It''s been taken care of by me." Lu Yang still spoke in that calm and composed tone of voice.


    "Done?" Jiang Xinyu looked at Lu Yang, "How is it resolved?"


    Lu Yang casually took out a Wood Box. "I sealed it here."


    Jiang Xinyu suspiciously looked at the Wood Box. Both of her answers avoided the crux of the problem.


    Jiang Xinyu, who had almost been devoured by the Dragon-blooded Flowers, knew just how terrifying that monster was. How did she escape that danger? And how did Lu Yang tame the demon flower?


    Lu Yang avoided discussing these two questions.


    Lu Yang obviously did not have any intention to tell Jiang Xinyu either. He passed the Wood Box into Jiang Xinyu''s hands: "Now that the Dragon-blooded Flowers has been found, our mission in Green Python Mountain Range should have been completed, right?"


    Jiang Xinyu hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the Wood Box.


    Seeing Jiang Xinyu staring at the Wood Box hesitantly, Lu Yang warned him: "That demon flower is a bit unusual after all. I placed a few inhibition on the Wood Box, it''s best not to open it."


    Jiang Xinyu thought about it, in the end, she nodded her head and accepted the Wood Box.


    "Although the mission has been completed, your body is still very weak. Let''s rest here for a few days." Lu Yang said again.


    Since she had already achieved her goal to enter the mountain, Jiang Xinyu was not in a hurry to leave.


    Lu Yang possessed a strong knowledge of medicinal pills, so he handed over all the treatment to Lu Yang.


    Previously, they relied on Yue Xun''s map and obtained a large amount of medicinal ingredients, which were now useful to them.


    Amongst Lu Yang''s carefully chosen healing medicine, there were those that not only healed external injuries, there were also those that healed mental injuries. In addition to the delicious medicinal fruit recommended by Yue Xun in the records of the Demon Subduing Record, Jiang Xinyu practically treated medicinal herbs as food.


    Initially, she was still too embarrassed, but under Lu Yang''s several requests from the position of a doctor, Jiang Xinyu finally accepted the meticulous arrangement.


    And this degree of extravagance, even when one''s Jiang Family was at its peak, one wouldn''t dare dream about it ¡­


    As for Lu Yang himself, it seemed that he had gained a lot just like Jiang Xinyu, who ate medicinal fruits everyday.


    Under this kind of method, which could be said to be equivalent to spending a fortune in one go, the two''s cultivation increased by leaps and bounds. On the fifth day, Lu Yang broke through to the middle stage of the Spiritual Spring Realm in one go.


    Perhaps it was because of his breakthrough, but Lu Yang''s complexion looked much better.


    That night, another full moon had arrived.


    Lu Yang stood outside the cave, looking at the full moon in the sky, as though he was thinking about something.


    "I''ve almost recovered. We''ve been out for more than a month, it''s about time to go back."


    A woman''s voice that was as light as the wind came from behind him. Lu Yang turned his head and saw Jiang Xinyu behind him.


    Jiang Xinyu originally looked straight into Lu Yang''s eyes, but then for some reason, her gaze shifted from his smile.


    She walked forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Yang.


    Under the moonlight, the two remained silent. The moon was bright and clear, calm and beautiful.


    After a long while, Jiang Xinyu said slowly, "Lu Yang, thank you."


    Lu Yang smiled: "Sister Lu Qi asked me to protect you, as someone who is entrusted with the task of being loyal to others, that''s all."


    Jiang Xinyu''s eyes moved slightly: "You help me ¡­ is it really because of Lu Qi''s request? "


    "Otherwise?" Lu Yang asked.


    Looking at his sincere smile, Jiang Xinyu was actually stunned for a moment. "If you want the Bluestone Ban ¡­ You''ll get it. "


    Hearing Jiang Xinyu''s tactful explanation, Lu Yang could only smile.


    Jiang Xinyu was silent for a good while, before she spoke again, "The current state of our Jiang Family... You should know something. "


    Lu Yang nodded.


    Jiang Xinyu continued, "After my father died, his Jiang Family suffered a huge blow ¡­ Even though I bitterly endured, I was unable to change the fact that my Jiang Family had declined. And it''s also because of this that all the forces that covet the Bluestone Ban are ready to make a move ¡­ "


    After speaking to here, a taunting expression surfaced on Jiang Xinyu''s face: "In the end, how could there be a power within the Qingta City that doesn''t want to think about the Bluestone Ban? The only difference is that I don''t have the ability or courage to make a move. "


    "No." Lu Yang did not agree with him, "Not all powers have this kind of presumptuous thought."


    Jiang Xinyu heard and looked at Lu Yang, her heart feeling grateful.

 C56

    With the decline of the Jiang Family, all sorts of powers were coveting the positions of the three great forces. Not only was the Bluestone Ban in Jiang Xinyu''s possession a sign that belonged to all three great powers, it was also a major event that concerned all of the Qingta City.


    Those powers were still afraid of the existence of the Master Sun s in the Qingta City, and would only dare to put pressure on the surface. However, in a wasteland like the Green Python Mountain Range, those who were acting in secret bravely ran out on the surface.


    The beast tamers who were hiding in the shadows and ordering their beasts to attack, the people who bought the power behind Luo Shan, and the people from the Zhou Family who were disregarding their own pride ¡­


    Jiang Xinyu''s current situation could be said to be chaotic, even if the Lu Yang beside her were to suddenly make a move against her, she would not be the least bit surprised.


    But he didn''t.


    Regardless of strength or timing, as long as Lu Yang wanted to snatch it, he had no chance of resisting.


    At this moment, standing by Lu Yang''s side, Jiang Xinyu actually felt a sense of security that she hadn''t felt in a long time.


    Jiang Xinyu''s eyes looked forward: "I was very surprised by Luo Shan''s betrayal, but what she said was correct. The Jiang Family is a boat that is about to sink, if he stays, he will just die with Jiang Family ¡­"


    "What I didn''t expect was that Zhou Shao ¡­" Jiang Xinyu''s eyes were a little sad, "The relationship between Jiang Family and the Zhou Family was originally not bad, Zhou Shao ¡­ I didn''t think he was like the others. "


    Ever since Lu Yang met his, it was the first time Lu Yang had heard her speak so much.


    Perhaps, ever since this young miss of the Jiang Family shouldered the burden of the clan, she had no choice but to keep everything in her heart. It had been too long since she had someone to pour her heart out to.


    Lu Yang muttered to himself for a moment, and said: "Zhou Shao ¡­ The reason he would do such a thing is because his mind is being affected by the Dragon-blooded Flowers. "


    Jiang Xinyu gratefully looked at Lu Yang.


    She did not understand medicine, and his understanding of Demon Spirit s were even more limited. Therefore, he was unable to discern if Lu Yang was speaking the truth or just to console his.


    However, she understood Lu Yang''s good intentions. "Lu Yang, thank you."


    Lu Yang laughed, but did not explain.


    Sasha.


    A gust of night wind blew past. The tree trunk and leaves rustled gently.


    Lu Yang''s gaze suddenly turned serious: "Since you''re here, there''s no need to hide, just reveal yourself!"


    Jiang Xinyu was shocked when she heard it, and anxiously looked towards the direction of Lu Yang. In the forest ahead, a skinny old man dressed in grey robes was seated on a Devil Tiger, walking out slowly.


    "Fierce Claw Tiger!"


    With one glance, Jiang Xinyu recognized the Magical Beast that the grey robed elder was riding. That ferocious tiger face had two deep scars on it, and the new one was done by Lu Yang.


    This was the Fierce Claw Tiger that had previously attacked them!


    "A great catastrophe is about to befall you all, and you all still have the mood to leisurely chat under the moon. You all sure are in a good mood."


    The old man who was sitting on the tiger''s back sneered at Lu Yang and Lu Yang.


    Lu Yang also laughed: "It''s true that we''re talking about secrets under the moon, that we''re in a leisurely mood, and that a great catastrophe is about to befall... I''m afraid not. "


    The old man did not refute him, and gently patted the Fierce Claw Tiger''s back. The Magical Beast suddenly roared towards the sky, and the forest immediately shook, and chaos ensued.


    Not long after, a ferocious figure quickly scuttled out from all directions. There were countless Magical Beast s surrounding Lu Yang and his.


    Sweeping his eyes at the airtight encirclement, Jiang Xinyu''s face became pale white: "I''m afraid there are more than three hundred Magical Beast here!"


    Lu Yang slowly swept his eyes across the vicious faces that had their fangs bared, his expression unchanging: "I was still wondering why Beastmaster, which had been moving since we entered the mountain, suddenly stopped moving. It''s not easy to subdue and subdue so many Magical Beast s these days."


    The old man laughed complacently: "It has indeed taken a lot of my effort ¡­" However, to be able to put you to death, the reward is not bad. "


    Lu Yang was still smiling: "You want to kill me with just these Spirit Level and Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast, aren''t you underestimating me too much?"


    "What an arrogant youngster!" A cold light flashed in the old man''s eyes, "Do you really think that you alone have the ability to break out of the encirclement of these three hundred Magical Beast?"


    Lu Yang''s smile became even wider: "It''s not that I think that I can do it, but that I can."


    Hearing this, Jiang Xinyu couldn''t help but secretly glance at Lu Yang. This youth was still as calm as ever, but under the encirclement of hundreds of Magical Beast, his calmness seemed to be somewhat unfathomable.


    The old man was clearly enraged by Lu Yang''s words, but he knew that the two were like turtles in a jar, he only snorted coldly and did not bother with Lu Yang.


    "Jiang Xiaojie, hand over what you have on you and I can consider sparing your lives." The old man turned her gaze towards the pale Jiang Xinyu.


    Seeing this formation, Jiang Xinyu knew in her heart that they would not be able to retreat safely tonight. Thus, with a sigh, with a flip of her wrist, she took out an irregular cyan stone.


    Seeing that Jiang Xinyu wanted to compromise after taking out the Bluestone Ban, Lu Yang reached out to stop her: "Don''t be fooled by him. Even if you give it to him, he won''t let us go."


    Jiang Xinyu slightly nodded. "I know ¡­"


    Lu Yang did not understand what he meant, "Even knowing about that, you still ¡­"


    Without waiting for Lu Yang to finish speaking, Jiang Xinyu shook his head and interrupted him.


    Afterwards, she gave him a deep look. There seemed to be thousands of words to say, but in the end, she did not speak.


    Jiang Xinyu smiled at Lu Yang, as if she had not had the time to say all the words in her mouth.


    When she looked at the old man, there was only determination in her eyes. "Let him go ¡­" Lu Family has nothing to do with this matter! "


    These words were completely out of Lu Yang''s expectations.


    "If you don''t agree, I will crush this Bluestone Ban to pieces. At that time, even if you kill us, it will be useless!"


    Jiang Xinyu''s tone was firm. She actually wanted to sacrifice herself in exchange for a sliver of life force from Lu Yang!


    However, unexpectedly, this threat didn''t have any effect ¡­


    The old man looked at Jiang Xinyu indifferently, and there was even a hint of ridicule on his face. It was as if he did not care about the existence of the ban in Jiang Xinyu''s hands at all.


    Jiang Xinyu was also extremely surprised by the old man''s attitude, "Since you have set your eyes on the Bluestone Ban, then you should know that once this object is destroyed, there will no longer be a possibility of activating its Green Tower Forbidden Area!"


    The old man remained unmoved, the mockery on his face growing even more intense.


    Jiang Xinyu was surprised, did this old man really try to remain calm, or did she not care?


    "Haha ¡­" The old man laughed mockingly, "What does the destruction of the stone in your hand have to do with me? As long as I kill all of you and destroy what you have obtained, my mission will also be completed! "


    Only now did Jiang Xinyu realize that she seemed to have made a mistake. This old man was not here for the Bluestone Ban!
