Half a red sun has slowly risen in the sky, and thirty or forty Qi Refining Master mercenaries have gathered in the bamboo forest in front of the martial arts academy. Everyone holds weapons in their hands and stands ready.
An hour later, it was broad daylight. There was no Changsheng figure at the entrance of the martial arts academy, and there was no familiar roar.
Two hours later, the sun began to beat down and everyone felt a little tired, but there was still no sign of Chang Sheng.
"It seems that this immortal will not come out today."
"That's right. I was caught off guard by him three times yesterday and he still comes today. Then he is not only crazy, but also stupid."
"Hey, Lao Chen? Why are you here to join in the fun?"
"I'm also a master of Qi refining, okay? Besides, I bet 50,000 spirit jade yesterday, which is almost all my net worth."
Just as everyone was laughing and joking, a gray figure quietly came out from behind the bamboo forest, and then white sword lights flashed.
"Quick, quick, it's Changsheng. He's behind."
When everyone came to the back of the bamboo forest, there were already a few people on the ground who had lost their storage bags and were wailing, and Chang Sheng was nowhere to be found.
"I said, why didn't he yell today? This doesn't follow the rules."
"When did Changsheng leave the martial arts academy? Why didn't I see it?"
"The martial arts academy also has a back entrance and two side entrances. Separate some people to guard there. If you encounter Chang Sheng, immediately send a signal, and the others will rush over to help."
There were thirty or forty people, four gates, and each gate only had about ten people.
It was just after noon, the sun was shining brightly, and everyone was a little drowsy.
"Wow... Yeah, yeah, yeah." A loud roar came from the back door. Then there was the sound of fighting.
When everyone rushed over, there were a few more mercenaries who had lost their storage bags and were lying on the ground wailing. Two others stood there in a daze, and Changsheng was nowhere to be seen.
"No, we can't separate. A dozen people are no match for Changsheng."
"It's a long-lasting and life-threatening style of play, but we all thought that we would get the advantage in the end, and none of us tried our best. If we didn't get counterattacked, we'd be damned."
The next day, there were only about ten people who came to the bamboo forest to watch for longevity.
Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads and were about to leave, when a loud roar of "Wow... Yeah Yeah Yeah" came into their ears.
"Run!"
Someone yelled, and everyone ran away from the bamboo forest without even looking. The entire bamboo forest suddenly disappeared, leaving Changsheng alone in the bamboo forest with various messes.
On the third day, no one in the bamboo forest came to watch for longevity.
On the fourth day, there was still no one in the bamboo forest.
The appearance and disappearance of the names of the Qi Refining Masters on the large ladder token in the Bounty Hall no longer attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was waiting for the dozen or so Foundation Establishment monks to take action.
The bounty is close to 150,000, and the spiritual jade in the peripheral betting market has reached nearly 2 million, and it is still rising to 30, 50, 70, 80,000, or 70,000.
"Why haven't you seen anyone guarding you in the bamboo forest recently?" At dusk, Xiaopang entered the slaughterhouse carrying the corpse of a monster beast.
"Brother, didn't you beat them all away?"
"I've almost built up my momentum, right? Why haven't I seen the dealer come to see me?"
"The banker is looking for you? Why did you ask the banker to come to you?" Old Tu asked in confusion on the couch beside him.
"Chang Sheng feels aggrieved that others are using him to earn spiritual jade, so he plans to create momentum and then take a share of the profits from the banker."
"Are you working so hard for Lingyu?" There was a black line on Tu Laoyi's forehead.
"Not only can I get the spiritual jade, but I can also increase my combat power. I think it's good."
"By the way, can't you detect the Divine Consciousness Token? You can go find them yourself." Xiaopang said.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Chang Sheng suddenly became excited: "It's definitely easier to disguise yourself, catch an individual, follow him and then attack him secretly than to fight in a group in the bamboo forest."
"Don't go too far yourself. If something happens, no one can help you." Tu Lao looked at the two of them and said.
The cold moon was high, and near the Bounty Hall in the north of Mingque City, a dark shadow was scurrying back and forth in the house where the mercenaries lived.
The next day, the news that sixteen Qi Refining Dacheng mercenaries were quietly attacked by Chang Sheng at their residence and all their belongings were looted shocked the Reward Hall once again.
On the big sign of the Bounty Hall, the names of the sixteen mercenaries have disappeared. The bounty rose to 172,000.
"How can this immortal look like a monk? He is simply a robber. He not only attacks sneakily but also robs his property."
"Still living forever? This kind of robber's behavior might as well be called a short-lived robber."
"He is really crazy. Everyone should be careful at night and put away all the jade and valuables."
The news that a mercenary was attacked and robbed by Changsheng at his residence quickly spread throughout Mingque City. While everyone was a little surprised, the bets became increasingly crazier.
At this time, there was only one thought in everyone's mind, that is, this immortal is seeking death, and his life will soon come to an end.
And the name of the short-lived bandit spread among Songque.
That night, after Chang Sheng continued to sneak attack and rob six Qi Refining Master mercenaries, he encountered an ambush from three Foundation Establishment monks.
The battle ended quickly. Although he was seriously injured, he managed to escape back to the martial arts academy with little risk by relying on the strange footwork of the 'Nine Paths' small teleportation.
The Foundation Establishment monk's action inspired the entire Mingque City. Although Changsheng escaped by chance, it also proved that his good days were indeed over.
At the same time, a terrifying speculation began to spread in everyone's mind. If he could escape from the hands of three foundation builders, has Changsheng's combat power reached the level of foundation builders?
However, no matter how terrifying the idea is, it is not as attractive as the increasingly higher bounty and the soaring spiritual jade in the market.
With everyone's excitement, the heavenly ladder ordered the spiritual jade to fly in the peripheral gambling board. In two days, the number increased from more than 2 million to more than 5 million. In the entire Mingque City, everyone who had some extra spirit jade in their hands invested more or less in it.
And Changsheng has become the public enemy of the entire Mingque City. Because if he is not captured, everyone will have to pay Lingyu.
Just when everyone thought Chang Sheng would continue to be crazy, he quietly quieted down and did not appear for several days.
Immortality at this time is extremely joyful. During his two trips to the Bounty Hall, he looted a lot of money. The amount of Ling Yu was sixty or seventy thousand, reaching nearly 30% of the bounty.
The only thing that worried Chang Sheng was that the demonic energy seemed to be much more obvious. Although he had Chibi, he was injured almost every time in several consecutive battles, especially the second time he went for a sneak attack and was even seriously injured.
Chibi is only a temporary solution, not the root cause.
It seems that we have to stop for a while, and we have to find a way to find the magic element again.

It's still the mysterious and luxurious house in Mingque City.
"Sir, the people from the Mingque Forest mission have been sent over, 100 people who have just reached the level of Qi refining, and 30 people who have just reached the level of foundation building." The old man in white robe said to the short and fat middle-aged man.
"Well, by the way, what's going on at the Wuyuan?"
"A total of 480 Class A students entered the forest, and there were also 10 guards from each martial arts academy with foundation-building cultivation. Moreover, the martial arts academy temporarily hired that little guy Chang Sheng, who is likely to appear in the forest as well."
"Immortality? The holy stone is ineffective in front of him. Is this because the martial arts academy is specifically guarding us?" the short, fat middle-aged man said with a frown.
"That little guy's combat power must have reached the initial level of Foundation Establishment now, but it should be no problem for dozens of people of the same level to deal with him, right?"
The short, fat middle-aged man didn't speak, he just frowned and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair.
"Go and get the ladder token and give it to all the foundation builders. Tell them that the first goal is to capture the immortal alive. Even if you can't capture him alive, don't kill him."
The pudgy middle-aged man paused and said: "If you encounter Changsheng while refining your Qi, run away for your life and send a signal to those foundation builders to deal with him."
"My lord, do you want to place a bet in that outside market?"
"He can't escape the clutches of the Twelve Young Masters, can he?"
