In the bounty hall, all the mercenaries were quietly doing their own things.

The third sister and brother Mo Shu had also just completed a task and were handing over various procedures to receive commissions. But I heard an old man in white robes was asking about immortality.

"Old man, if you want to kill that longevity to get the bounty, you should first get the ladder token. The Bounty Hall will naturally inform you of the information about the longevity."

"Haha, I just saw that Changsheng has been very popular recently, so I came to inquire about it to pass the time."

After chatting with a mercenary for a few words, the old man turned around and walked towards another place, and then began to ask other people.

"Second sister, he seems to be very interested in the young gentleman. But why don't you go and get the ladder token?" Liu Xunfeng was a little confused.

"I have made great achievements in building my foundation. If I want to harm Mr. Little, should we help Mr. Little?"

"Third brother, did the young gentleman say that he goes to Songque Forest every day?"

"Yes, he found monsters in the forest to practice his sword skills."

"Let's go to the forest. Foundation Establishment Xiaocheng is not something that Mr. Xiao can handle alone."

On the Great Ladder Token in the Bounty Hall, all mercenaries who have received the Ladder Token will not only display their names but also their cultivation level. You can choose any name you want, but your cultivation cannot be forged.

This old man built his foundation, but it was not shown on the ladder token. His curiosity about immortality obviously had something else to do.

Changsheng wonders when he can find the magic element again? The demonic energy is used once and less, so it is condensed into a kind of spiritual liquid that is taken in advance and will immediately release medicinal properties when injured.

And gave it a very vivid name, 'Chibi'. Because in the light green spiritual liquid, you can see traces of bright red.

It's just that it's extremely difficult to find the spiritual material to condense this red green. I even asked Old Tu for help, but I was able to condense only seven bottles, and each bottle was used about four or five times.

The next day, Changsheng took a drop of Chibi and went out to the bamboo forest. As before, there were about a dozen mercenaries waiting for him.

After a stick of incense, Chang Sheng chopped up five mercenaries, snatched five storage bags, and fled back to the martial arts academy.

Changsheng's current combat power is close to the initial stage of foundation building, and those mercenaries are all accomplished in Qi refining. Not to mention crushing, at least it can be easily done by slashing each person with a knife and running back to the martial arts academy.

But Changsheng didn't do that.

In addition to being able to defeat him with just one stroke, he also has the advantage that there is no real energy protection, and there will be no real energy fluctuations during the battle.

Any monk, no matter how hidden that layer of true energy protection, will be revealed during battle. Others will accurately judge your cultivation level based on this true energy protection.

As for Changsheng, because he has no true energy protection, others cannot judge his cultivation level and can only guess at his combat power. The basis for this speculation is his performance in the battle.

Changsheng knew very well that if others could see his true combat power, there would be new monks who would take action, and he would not be so easy to dismiss as now.

Now these Qi Refining Masters are purely here to give him free True Yuan and Spiritual Jade.

Changsheng even suffered several injuries on purpose. The demonic energy appeared immediately, but the medicinal effect emitted by Chibi followed closely behind. I estimate that at least 30% to 40% of the demonic energy was saved.

Changsheng knew that Chibi was not a long-term solution, so he had to slowly think of other ways and find the demonic element as soon as possible.

As always, Changsheng would come to the bamboo forest every day to kill a few mercenaries, grab a few storage bags, and then pretend to be injured before escaping back to the martial arts academy.

Then he would disguise himself again, sneak out from the side or back door of the martial arts academy, and go to Mingque City to see if he would meet someone with a holy stone. Then go to the Songque Forest to catch the spirit-eating beasts, fight for the first-level monsters, and collect some spiritual grasses and plants along the way.

On this day, after noon, Changsheng caught a spirit-eating beast and just came out of the sacred tree forest when he saw an old man in an indigo robe looking at him quietly five or six feet away.

Changsheng held the Mosasaurus knife tightly, and cold sweat began to break out on his palms and forehead.

With his spiritual consciousness condensed, the gray sea of ​​​​qi in the old man's dantian could be seen at a glance, and two circles of cyclones were gently surging.

Build the foundation and achieve a small level of cultivation!

Changsheng knew very well that his combat power was only at the beginning of his foundation building. Win? The possibility is almost zero, let alone escape. Now I can only outsmart and fight to the death. It depends on the severity of my injuries and the healing speed of Molong Ring and Chi Bi.

This time, as long as you don't die, it will be a high incense.

"I'm not interested in the bounty. If you can keep the Yuan-Zhan Dao in your hand and tell me your sword skills, I can keep you safe in Mingque City."

"You mean you want to steal my knife and sword skills?"

"My friend, I'm serious. It's just mutual benefit."

Changsheng stared at the old man, suddenly pulled out his legs and rushed forward. A foundation-building coercion instantly enveloped Changsheng. Changsheng's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he was squatting and kneeling with a knife on the ground.

"My little friend, don't be impulsive. How can I let you get close to me when you are holding a Yuan-Zhan Dao?"

"Mo Cultivation? You old dog wants to rob me but you tell me not to be Cultivation. What do you think?" Changsheng glared at the old man and panted.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero, but it is not worth it if his life is wasted."

The old man continued his pressure and approached Changsheng as he spoke. When he was five or six feet away, Chang Sheng suddenly jumped up. While blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, a white sword light struck the old man from bottom to top.

At this time, Changsheng's hand holding the knife was more than a foot away from the old man. The old man smiled contemptuously and then struck Changsheng with a palm.

There is no doubt that Changsheng was knocked to the ground. Although the old man had no intention of taking his life, Changsheng had all the bones in his body broken and he fainted from the pain.

But what neither of them expected was that when the knife was struck out, the light of the knife actually extended by more than 3 inches. The total length of the sword is more than six inches, and the Mosasaurus sword has an attack range of more than one and a half feet.

A shallow knife mark appeared on the old man's arm, so shallow that it was just a layer of flesh. But he was stunned on the spot, because at this time, the sea of ​​​​qi in his dantian and the true energy in his body had completely disappeared.

"You?~~~You?~~~"

The old man looked at Changsheng in disbelief, then turned around and staggered slowly out of the forest. He never imagined that Changsheng, who was under pressure, could actually attack him.

What made him even more unexpected was that the sword light that was originally only 3 inches actually grew to more than 6 inches.

He had seen clearly from the image of the sky curtain stone before that the sword light was only 3 inches long, and the total length of the sword was only one foot and three inches. If not, he wouldn't have let Changsheng's knife get so close to him.

"No, no, I can't die like this." The old man muttered to himself as he walked.

At this time, Chang Sheng was lying limply on the ground motionless, and could not even feel his breathing. No external injuries could be seen on his body, but all the bones in his body were broken, making him look as weird as a puddle of flesh.

After a few breaths, Chang Sheng twitched twice, and then a sound slowly came from his nose.

Just like what he had thought before, if he didn't die this time, he would be burning incense. If it wasn't for the sword skills, it would have been impossible for the old man to talk nonsense with him. If he wanted to do it directly, someone would have to burn incense for him.

At this time, three figures were flying towards Changsheng.

"Help...help." When the old man saw the person coming, he slowly stretched out his hand and waved.

Is this the foundation-building monk who was in the Bounty Hall before? Mo Shu and the others looked at the old man who was aging rapidly, and looked at the unconscious Chang Sheng not far away.

"Help, help..." Before the old man could finish his words, he slowly collapsed to the ground, no longer alive.

Seeing that the old man was dead, the three of them hurried to Changsheng.

"Little sir? Little sir?"

Mo Shu sat on the ground, helped Chang Sheng up and put his head on his lap, and then poured a bottle of elixir into Chang Sheng's mouth.

Changsheng's breathing has become smoother, but his eyes are still slightly closed. The three of them looked at his body and limbs that kept twisting and turning, and their eyes almost fell out of their eyes in shock.

The three of them knew that this was the broken bones in Changsheng's body reconnecting and healing on their own.

A faint fragrance hit his nose, Changsheng opened his eyes slightly, and then looked around.

"Senior Sister Mo saved me, so you don't want me to pledge myself to you, right?" Changsheng joked weakly, looking at Mo Shu who was almost face to face.

"Go, what are you thinking about? Why don't you go to heaven?" Mo Shu glared at the longevity in his arms.

"We suspected that the old guy was going to attack the young gentleman, so we came to the forest immediately. Unexpectedly, he found you earlier than us."

Chang Sheng smiled weakly and slowly closed his eyes. After a whole cup of tea, the broken bones were completely healed by the demonic energy and Chibi.

Slowly standing up, Changsheng stretched his arms, kicked his legs, and started jumping around again.

"The little gentleman's injuries will actually heal on their own?"

"I don't know what that black aura is." Changsheng frowned slightly and said warily.

"What black gas thread?"

"Those black gas threads that can help me heal myself? Didn't you see it?"

"I didn't see any black gas threads. We only know that the broken bones are healing on their own." Xie Gu stared at Changsheng in surprise. Mo Shu and the other scholar-like man were also very surprised.

Could it be that this demonic energy is the same as the demonic energy of those assassins, and only he can see it? Chang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh. Maybe I was injured too badly just now and had hallucinations. It should be because I drank the spiritual liquid I condensed every day, and the accumulated medicinal properties came in handy at this time."

At this time, the scholar in a brown-white gown suddenly clasped his fists and bowed to Changsheng and said, "Liu Xunfeng thanked Mr. Liu for saving his life." He was the one who was brought back to life by Changsheng's spiritual liquid that day in front of the Bingling Pavilion. His whole body was purple. youth.

"You're welcome, didn't you also save me today? It's even."

Changsheng said as he walked over and pulled off the dead old man's storage bag and threw it to Mo Shu: "You deserve this."

"No, no, little sir. This is impossible."

"We siblings have all received life-saving grace from the little gentleman, how could we..."

"Okay, don't refuse. Just because you can come all the way to save me, this should be what you get."

Not to mention the elixir, there are thirty to forty thousand Guangling jade in the storage bag. Thirty to forty thousand spiritual jade, that's the total income earned by Mo Shu and the others in the Reward Hall for a month!

What made the three of them even more delighted was that there were two elixir bottles in the storage bag, one of which was a first-grade elixir, and the other was a second-grade elixir.

A first-grade elixir starts with one ten thousand spiritual jade, and a second-grade elixir starts with twenty thousand spiritual jade. There are three pieces in each bottle.

Unlike the joy of Mo Shu and the others, Chang Sheng had a headache at this time. This time he was attacked by the foundation-building monks, and his injuries were so severe that he almost consumed more than half of his demonic energy.

There seems to be just as much demonic energy now as there was at the beginning, and thanks to Chibi, it would have used more.

"Right. Take this."

Changsheng said as he took out a bottle of red green: "Divide it into three parts. You can pack it separately and keep it. If you want to face a battle where you don't know the details, you can take it in advance."

"Take it in advance?" Mo Shu and the others were a little confused.

"For internal and external injuries suffered in battle, it can lie dormant in the body for a few hours, and the medicinal properties will be released automatically when you are injured."

"What?" The three of them were surprised and carefully looked into the medicine bottle with their consciousness.

"Believe me, if it hadn't been for it. I might have died just now."

"If you want to sell this, it will cost tens of thousands of spiritual jade?" The three of them naturally knew what this meant.

"There's no way to condense it in large quantities because some materials are really hard to find."

"By the way, young sir. Take this Yinzhu. If you encounter mercenaries who are unable to fight against you, send a signal and we can come to the rescue."

"You want to interfere with the Heavenly Ladder Order? Have Senior Sister Mo ever thought that once you lend a helping hand to save me, you will also be involved in the Heavenly Ladder Order?"

"As the young gentleman said, which day did we not roll on the edge of a knife? Which task did we not do with our heads high?"

"Yes, little sir. Not only did you save me, but you also saved my second sister and third brother. This is a life-and-death friendship. If we are afraid that the ladder order will come that day and ignore the little gentleman's life, then what kind of monks can we be? You can go home and farm and sell sweet potatoes."

Seeing the unhesitating looks in the three people's eyes, Chang Sheng said nothing, but solemnly hugged their fists. Then he took this piece of red bamboo, which was about two inches long and one inch wide.

Back in Mingque City, this was the sound bamboo used by students to seek help from the martial arts academy when they were attacked.

It's said to be Yinzhu, but you can't hear its sound. What it emits is a sound wave that can only be received by the same set of sound bamboos. Because each set of sound bamboo has specific different frequencies.

And it can not only receive sound waves, but also track and locate.

When you need to ask for help, you only need to input a trace of true energy into it. The specific sound bamboos in the same set can receive the sound waves it emits, and then you can follow the sound waves to find the person asking for help.
