Tianshui Sect.
In the main hall.
"There have been more than a dozen murder cases recently. It may have been caused by outside cultivators. You should each investigate the casual cultivators in your jurisdiction. I suspect that there are demonic cultivators sneaking into Tianshui City."
The leader of Tianshui Sect looked at the elders below and said.
In less than a month, five foundation builders and ten qi practitioners died, and the murderer has not yet been found. This is already considered a big deal in Tianshui City.
He suspected it was a demon cultivator, only demon cultivators were more bloodthirsty.
"yes."
The elders below responded.
-------------
Wanbao Pavilion.
"Master Zhang."
When Xiaocui saw Lu Ning's arrival, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
She knew that Lu Ning was here to sell heavenly saliva again.
"Yeah." Lu Ning nodded towards her.
"Master Zhang still wants to sell a bottle of Tiansali Liquid?"
"I'm selling two bottles this time."
"Okay, here are your ten top-grade spiritual stones."
After the transaction was completed, Lu Ning was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Cui.
"Master Zhang, wait."
"What's up?"
"We, Wanbao Pavilion, are going to hold an auction and would like to invite you to come. This is the invitation."
Xiaocui handed Lu Ning an invitation.
The invitation was made of unknown monster animal skin, exuding a unique smell, and even had a hint of vague fluctuation.
Lu Ning took it and looked at it. The time and place were written on it.
"Is there an auction for martial arts?"
Lu Ning tried to ask.
This is what he wants most now.
"I heard it is available, but it's very expensive."
"Xiao Cui, do you know how many spiritual stones can be captured using ordinary techniques?"
"I heard that general cultivation techniques will be auctioned for at least one hundred yuan or more of high-grade spiritual stones, and good techniques can cost up to one million high-grade spiritual stones."
So expensive.
Lu Ning was slightly shocked.
Including the mandala essence he just sold, he now only has fifteen high-grade spiritual stones in his hand.
Ordinary skills will be auctioned for more than 100 yuan of high-grade spiritual stones.
How can we do this?
I can't afford it even if I go there.
Lu Ning once again felt a little poor.
Seeing Lu Ning's surprised expression, Xiao Cui couldn't help but cover her mouth and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, maybe you think it's expensive, but your immortal family may not necessarily think so."
After all, which realm of golden elixir and Yuanying does not have hundreds or thousands of high-grade spiritual stones?
In Xiaocui's eyes, Lu Ning was just a servant, and it was normal to be frightened.
Lu Ning walked out of Wanbao Pavilion without asking any more questions.
He originally wanted to return the invitation, but after thinking about it, even if he didn't buy anything, it would be better to go and see it.
The time will be the 15th of next month, and there are still more than ten days left.
Now Xin Guangyi's water control ability has almost completely evolved. The scene of water control in Xiaoxi Village was his first test.
If you just go to an auction, you shouldn't encounter any danger.
Even if you encounter danger, with the ability to control water and escape from the ground, escaping is not a problem.
The worst thing is the Gate of Time and Space. If your life is in danger, it doesn't matter even if the Gate of Time and Space is exposed.
Lu Ning was walking on the street thinking about the auction next month.
But he soon discovered that he was being followed.
Lu Ning walked out of the inner city and came to the outer city, but the man in the dark still followed him.
"It looks like I'm being treated as prey."
Lu Ning was not only not afraid, but also had a smile on his face.
After leaving the outer city, Lu Ning continued walking on foot, going further and further away, waiting for someone in the dark to take action.
When walking next to a creek, Lu Ning pretended to admire the scenery and stopped.
Unexpectedly, the person in the dark had no intention of taking action.
"What, why don't you take action yet?"
Lu Ning looked in the direction where they were hiding with a smile on his face.
Seeing that several people still refused to come out, Lu Ning smiled slightly.
I saw that the water in the creek was like a living thing, like a snake, jumping from the river to the shore, and then swam into the grass where a few people were hiding.
The three pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness were restrained by three streams of water before they could react.
The three currents were like octopuses, grabbing the three people's ankles and throwing them out from behind the grass.
Three people, two men and one woman, all in their thirties.
The three of them had just landed and before they could say anything, a violent electric current came from their ankles.
"ah."
The bodies of the three people twitched, and two of them rolled their eyes and fainted.
"This real person, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
Among them, the older-looking man endured the severe pain and convulsions and shouted loudly.
Misunderstand?
Lu Ning looked at the three of them, stopped firing, and asked, "Who are you and why are you following me?"
Is there any intention against him?
"We are disciples of the Tianshui Sect. We are not bad people. Please don't get me wrong. This is my jade slip of identity." The man quickly handed over his jade slip of identity.
Lu Ning took it and took a look, and sure enough it had the three characters Tianshui Sect written on it.
However, having an identity jade slip does not mean that the other party must be a disciple of the Tianshui Sect. After all, he also has an identity jade slip from the Zixia Sect in his hand.
"Why are you following me so secretly, all the way from the inner city to here?"
"Returning to the real person, because there have been many murders in the inner city recently, among which the dead include five foundation-building and ten qi-training Taoist friends, our sect master suspects that there are demon cultivators sneaking into the inner city, so these days, we are Vigorously investigate the unfamiliar loose cultivators in the inner city.
Your face is unfamiliar, so you are also within the scope of our investigation. Originally, we thought that you, Zhenren, were just a small mortal, and we wanted to follow Zhenren to find the person behind the scenes. We were clumsy and bumped into Zhenren, so please forgive us. "
The man apologized.
He looked a little uneasy.
Because to be honest, he didn't quite know whether Lu Ning was a demon cultivator or not.
But Lu Ning was able to defeat the three of them easily, which showed that Lu Ning at least had the strength of the Golden Core realm.
The three of them are all foundation builders, so they are no match for Jin Dan.
It is often said in the spiritual world that the golden elixir is the Great Way, which means that after cultivating the golden elixir stage, one has obtained the great way.
The golden elixir is already a watershed, and anyone who has reached the golden elixir can be called a real person.
Now he can only tell the truth and give it a try. Lu Ning is not a demon cultivator.
"With your strength, if I were a demon cultivator, you would be dead." Lu Ning shook his head.
The water flow that bound the three people's wrists slowly loosened.
"Thank you, Master!"
The man was overjoyed.
He made the right bet, and at the same time he confirmed in his heart that Lu Ning was just an ordinary Jindan cultivator and should not be the murderer of those people.
Otherwise, he could kill people and silence them.
"Junior sister, junior brother, wake up, wake up quickly."
The man patted the two people who had just been stunned.
"Brother, send the signal quickly!"
As soon as the junior sister woke up, she immediately put her hands into her arms to send a signal.
They had just been paralyzed all over, their bodies were out of control, and they didn't even send out any signals.
"Hey, no, that senior real person is not a demon cultivator, he is just a casual cultivator practicing outside. Why don't you apologize to senior now?"
Real senior!
Junior brother and junior sister looked at Lu Ning in surprise when they heard the title of their senior brother.
It turns out that Lu Ning is Zhenren Jindan.
The two of them thought that Lu Ning's ability just now was worthy of being a real person, and they said it before they could react.
They no longer doubted Lu Ning's identity.
If Lu Ning was a demon cultivator, several of them would already be dead.
"Senior Zhenren, I have offended you just now, please forgive me."
The two came to Lu Ning and quickly apologized.
The two of them behaved respectfully, fearing that Lu Ning would get angry.
In the world of cultivation, Jindan should not be insulted. Even if they are disciples of Tianshui Sect, they must be polite when meeting Jindan Master.
"The sect asks you to investigate the so-called demon cultivator. Isn't this asking for death?"
Seeing how polite they were, Lu Ning didn't care about the three people's offense and instead said with a smile.
A guy who can kill Ji Zhu and so many Qi practitioners must be at least in the Golden Core realm.
"It's my fault that the three of us are not good at studying."
The three of them felt a little embarrassed when Lu Ning said that.
They were also confused. Although they were not good at fighting, they were still good at sneaking in secret. They did not expect that they would be discovered by Lu Ning.
at this time.
"boom."
There was an explosion not far away.
At the same time, a voice came out quickly.
"Disciples of Tianshui Sect, come quickly!"
When the three of them heard this scene, they immediately tensed up: "This is the sect's distress signal!"
They immediately thought of demon cultivators.
"A fellow disciple is in trouble!"
"Can this senior real person help us defend against the enemy? If we can repel the powerful enemy, we, the Tianshui Sect, will definitely be repaid."
The older senior brother cupped his fists towards Lu Ning with a serious look on his face.
He guessed that he must have encountered a demon cultivator there.
However, the strength of the three of them is weak. If they go there, they may just go to die. Now the real person Lu Ning is here. If they can get Lu Ning's help, they may be able to kill the demon cultivator.
"I, the Tianshui Sect, will definitely be repaid!"
Junior brothers and junior sisters also clasped their fists at Lu Ning at the same time.
The three of them looked at Lu Ning with expectant expressions on their faces.
Lu Ning was speechless when he saw the three people like this.
This is nothing.
This is your Tianshui Sect's matter, and he doesn't want to get involved.
Lu Ning was about to refuse, but saw the tree next to him break.
A figure was knocked down.
The figure smashed several big trees and landed right in front of a few people.
puff.
After the figure landed, a small crater was made, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Uncle You!"
The three people here couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the figure in the pit clearly.
The figure that was knocked to the ground was none other than their Tianshui Sect's uncle, You Yuanliang.
Their master uncle is in the golden elixir realm.
The three of them ran over immediately.
"Uncle You, how are you?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, why are you juniors here? Leave quickly, you are no match for the demon cultivator."
You Yuanliang looked disappointed when he saw that there were only three of them.
These three juniors are only capable of building foundations, so they are no match for the demon cultivator.
"Not just the three of us, there is also a real senior, he..."
However, when the three of them turned back to look for Lu Ning, they could not find Lu Ning at all.
"Where are the real people you're talking about?"
"He... he seems to be gone."
The senior brother looked embarrassed.
But they couldn't blame Lu Ning in their hearts.
After all, he was going to face a powerful demonic cultivator, and Lu Ning had nothing to do with their Tianshui Sect, so it was reasonable not to help.
But a few people couldn't help but feel very sorry.
Because they will face a powerful demon cultivator, and they may die here today.
"Hahahaha, here are some more Tianshui Sect members, still in the foundation building stage. Are they here to die?"
A male demon cultivator flew from the sky.
He was seen wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, with a flying sword under his feet, and his expression was wild and unruly.
"Why bother? I just killed some noisy people, and you Tianshui Sect went to war over such a trivial matter. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, you are indeed a famous and authentic sect, and you are good at what you do on the surface."
"Die!"
The demon cultivator pointed at You Yuanliang below, and the flying sword at his feet shot downwards.
The flying sword was extremely fast and turned into a stream of light.
In the eyes of the demon cultivator, You Yuanliang must die.
After killing each other, these three little guys cannot stay.
At the moment when the demon cultivator shot out his flying sword.
In the distance, on a mountain range five kilometers away from here, Lu Ning remained invisible and fired an electromagnetic gun in his hand towards the demon cultivator.
puff.
boom.
The flying sword pierced You Yuanliang's chest.
The electromagnetic gun penetrated the demon cultivator's back.
