Three months later.
Jiang Chen and Changshou Taoist left Jinxiu Mountain at Qingyunzi's urging.
During this trip to Qingyang Taoist Palace, Jiang Chen gained a lot. Changshou Taoist also got a lot of benefits from Qingyunzi's hands. He not only got a mid-level magic weapon, a whisk, but also a Five Ghosts Moving Mountains. technique.
But when he thought about Jiang Chen's identity as a closed disciple of Qingyunzi, he still felt sour in his heart.
Now that Jiang Chen has broken through to the Qi Refining Realm, which is not much lower than him, when he thinks about this, he loses his temper completely.
It’s true that people compare to each other to death!
His process of breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm was so difficult and tortuous!
But as soon as Jiang Chen obtained the Qi Refining Technique, he immediately broke through to the Qi Refining Realm. This talent really made him ashamed!
Ever since Jiang Chen's cultivation realm broke through to the Qi Refining realm, his muscles, bones, flesh and blood have been continuously strengthened under the nourishment of magic power. By the way, his martial arts technique "Red Jade Kung Fu" has also been broken through, and he has successfully broken through to the ninth level. Heavy, making him become a top-notch warrior!
Now his strength has more than doubled compared to before he went up the mountain! !

After carefully checking the attribute panel, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction. Next, it was time to study the main mission.
As the saying goes, sharpening a knife can make a difference in chopping wood. Now Jiang Chen's big knife has long been hungry and thirsty!
Jiang Chen and Taoist Changshou walked to a woodland at the foot of Jinxiu Mountain and soon found the two fast horses they had come on.
In the past three months, Taoist Changshou has been running up and down the mountain, taking good care of the horses. Now the two horses are fat and strong.
This Jinxiu Mountain is indeed a blessed land. The horses have been here for a long time and have become stronger and stronger after being nourished by the vitality of heaven and earth!
The two led their horses to the mountain path, got on their horses, and headed straight for Nanjun City.
On a country road.
This is the only way to the county town, and the surrounding terrain is flat, with many villages and frequent movement of people.
Jiang Chen remembered that there was nothing here three months ago, but now there are several tea sheds, a fruit stall, and some food.
"Burn!"
"Donkey meat on fire!"
"Thin-skinned donkey meat with lots of fillings, grilled on fire!"
A Shaobing shop was particularly lively, with people queuing up to buy Shaobing. The aroma of donkey meat was overflowing, making people salivate!
"Junior brother, we have been traveling all day, why don't we take a break here for a while, let's drink a bowl of herbal tea and eat some donkey meat on fire?"
Taoist Changshou's nose twitched, and he couldn't walk anymore as he looked at the sesame cake shop.
Jiang Chen was okay. Since he broke through the Qi Refining Realm and developed his magic power, he felt that the energy in his body was full and his hunger disappeared.
Now that he has entered the fasting stage, for him now, eating and drinking is just to satisfy his appetite.
And since he got a lot of money from selling it in the real world, he has never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he doesn't have much interest in the donkey meat fire, a delicious snack in the fairy world.
But since Taoist Changshou suggested it, he followed his intention and nodded in agreement.
In front of the sesame cake shop.
"Donkey meat is grilled on fire and costs ten cents each. It has thin skin and plenty of stuffing. It's delicious and not expensive!"
"Live donkeys are slaughtered right now. They are absolutely fresh, the meat is delicious and great value for money!"
When the store owner yells, he will cook donkey meat for you.
Behind the simple shop is a shed with five donkeys and a butchering chopping board with half a bloody donkey on the chopping board.
Jiang Chen saw the five donkeys with tears in their eyes and looked extremely pitiful.
"Perhaps these donkeys also know that they are not going to die soon!"
Jiang Chen thought.
"Store, here are ten donkey meats to burn!"
Finally it was the turn of the longevity Taoist who had been waiting for a long time. He ordered ten donkey meat to be burned in one go.
Jiang Chen was still looking at the donkeys in the back shed. One donkey looked around, and then it met Jiang Chen's eyes.
Suddenly, a look of joy flashed in its eyes, and it suddenly started jumping up and down like a wild horse, attracting Jiang Chen's attention, and then scrawled on the ground with its hooves!
"Brother, there seems to be something wrong with his donkey meat being burned!"
Jiang Chen spoke up.
"has a problem?"
"What's the problem? Doesn't it smell good?"
Taoist Changshou was stunned when he heard this, then looked around, lowered his voice and said in Jiang Chen's ear:
"Junior brother, are you saying that this is a shady shop and that he put sweat medicine in the donkey meat?"
"But that's not the case. I see people coming and going here. They buy a lot of donkey meat and eat it on fire. I don't see any problems with them?!"
The world is in chaos, with bandits and strongmen blocking roads and robbing people. Even many of the shops on the roadside in the wild are unclean. If you are not careful, you may lose your property or even your life!
"no!"
Jiang Chen shook his head when he heard this:
"I mean there's something wrong with his donkey!"
"Donkeys, cows, and horses are all domestic animals that the imperial court strictly prohibits from slaughtering at will."
"Even if they lose the ability to work, they still need a slaughter order from the government before they can be slaughtered!"
"But look at the donkeys in his back shed. They are all fat and lively. Such donkeys are good for farm work. How could their owners be willing to sell them?!"
"And I saw a donkey gesticulating with its feet on the ground, as if it was writing something!"
"Looking at the donkeys' eyes again, I found that their eyes were very complicated, as if they knew they were going to die. But are donkeys so smart?"
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Taoist Changshou immediately understood!
"The magic of creating animals!"
Taoist Changshou frowned and whispered:
"This is a widely circulated folk witchcraft. You can use various methods to turn people into livestock, slaughter them, and eat their flesh and blood!"
"The world is difficult, with constant natural and man-made disasters. The common people will no longer be able to survive, and rituals, music, and morality will collapse. People at that time can no longer be called human beings!"
"I once saw with my own eyes the phenomenon of people changing their bodies and eating them, and breaking their bones and cooking them."
"But some people still have some conscience and can't bear to eat human flesh, so they ask folk wizards to perform animal-making magic to turn the two of them into animals and then slaughter them!"
Jiang Chen was shocked when he heard this. Although he felt that there was something wrong with these donkeys and that they were particularly smart, he did not expect that these donkeys turned out to be humans!
Cannibalism is like a demon!
"Then is there any way, senior brother, to change it back?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"It's very simple. A bowl of talisman water can directly change them back to their original appearance!"
"Although this animal-making technique looks very strange, it also has great flaws. It is not a profound magic for us ascetics!"
Taoist Changshou responded:
"Junior brother, do you want to save them?"
"Does Senior Brother think that we shouldn't save him?"
Jiang Chen asked rhetorically.
"Haha, that's not true!"
"Junior brother is so chivalrous!"
Taoist Taoist Changshou smiled to ease the embarrassment.
