Hu Bugui briefly introduced Lu Yuan to Jiang Hong. The four of them chatted for a while and then got down to business.
Jiang Hong patted Hu Bugui on the shoulder and said, "Old Hu, you can rest assured and go to my place to recuperate."
"Yes, Master, I have grown up now, and Guo Pu is here, so I have no problem taking care of myself."
Hu Bugui said: "I trust you very much. Before I leave, I have something to give you."
He took out a blood-red talisman with red gas from the ring.
"This is the blood demon talisman, with a trace of the blood demon's soul sealed in it. This blood demon is extremely powerful. Back then, several talisman master friends and I spent a lot of effort to eliminate it. The power of this talisman is equivalent to two A full-strength blow from a late-stage monk. Activating it consumes a lot of energy, so don’t use it unless absolutely necessary!”
"remember!"
He took out another mirror with a simple brass color: "Qingming Mirror. It can absorb miasma poisons. It is very good for self-defense."
Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "Master, I am only at the first level, so I can't use magic weapons yet."
"I asked a very powerful weapon refiner to modify this mirror for me back then. Just a little bit of profound energy can activate its effect. Therefore, it can be used even at the first level. Of course, its power has also been compromised to a certain extent. .”
Lu Yuan grinned. He put it away carefully.
"Wait a minute, I'll also give you the alchemy furnace, alchemy recipes in the back hall, and the "Tian Yuan Ji Ce Tu" for practicing formations. Don't forget to practice alchemy. You can only learn formations at the second level. You may not be so fast. It’s not a bad thing to be promoted to a great demon master, but it’s not a bad thing to give you the formation map in advance.”
"Yes. Don't worry, I will practice more frequently!"
Qin Dong smiled and said: "Look at your master, he really hates to leave you."
Hu Bugui added: "Now that you have a demon attendant, in the future, in addition to meditating and entraining energy, you can also kill more monsters and absorb demon pills to improve your cultivation level. In addition, your combat experience is relatively high." Deficient. Fighting more will be of great benefit to your future practice."
After Lu Yuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "I can finally go on a killing spree!"
Hu Bugui said again: "Yang demons do not harm people. God has the virtue of good life for them to practice. You should not kill at will. For those Yin demons that harm people's lives, you should not be merciful. However, absorbing demon pills in a short period of time is too Too much will cause great harm to the body, so just take care of yourself."
Lu Yuan nodded.
"And you don't just hide in the mountains to slay demons, you should go to the world of mortals to understand human feelings and temper your character. This will also be of great help to you in the future to break through the mysteries and defeat the inner demons."
"Master, which town is better for me to go to first?"
"Three hundred miles west of here, there is a relatively large town called Huilong Town. It is a basin with abundant profound energy. Therefore, the population is prosperous, and monsters especially like to gather there. You can go and experience the trial."
"Okay! There are many people and monsters, and I am well-informed. I can still go there to look for clues about the fragments of the Demon Suppression Tower!"
Hu Bugui coughed twice and continued: "When I recover, I will crush the tracing jade and let you know. By then, you will have received my location in your mind, and then you can come and pick me up, so you won't bother Master Jiang to deliver it."
"Okay. How long will it take?"
Jiang Hong said: "It's hard to say. The poor teacher estimates that it will take a little half a year."
"Well, thank you, Master! My master is entrusted to you!" It was the first time Lu Yuan had been away from his master for such a long time, and it was the first time he was slaying demons alone as a demon master, and he felt both reluctant and excited.
"The poor master and your master have a life-long friendship, Xiao Yuan, don't worry." He looked at Hu Bugui and said, "Old Hu, let's leave tomorrow."
Qin Dong said hurriedly: "Fat Jiang, there is me too!"
Jiang Hong looked at Hu Bugui. The latter closed his eyes and nodded silently.
Jiang Hong smiled and said: "Okay!"
…………
Huilong Town is a large town more than 300 miles west of Jinziling.
Although this place is on the border of Fuyi Prefecture, it has frequent trade exchanges with other prefectures, so it is densely populated, has many merchants, and is very lively.
Lu Yuan came to a wine shop with a small white gourd hanging on his waist and a long sword slung across his back.
He just looked at the official boards on the roadside for a while. They were all government announcements, but there was no information about offering rewards to catch monsters.
The government usually offers rewards for big demons who harm a party. If there are rewards for small demons, they are usually more common in wine shops.
Lu Yuan looked around the wine shop and saw a reward list on the east wall.
He walked up and looked carefully.
It was not dinner time at this time, and there were very few customers in the restaurant.
When the waiter saw Lu Yuan looking at the post, he immediately smiled and said: "Hey, guest! You are a monk! What do you want to order?"
According to secular rules, when you come to a wine shop, you must spend money there.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Here comes a bowl of wine and a plate of fragrant vegetables."
"okay!"
The waiter quickly slipped into the kitchen.
In the middle of the reward card is a post issued by a wealthy businessman.
For some unknown reason, there has been a lot of trouble at home recently.
Although the monster does not eat people, it plays tricks on the wealthy businessmen all day long, making it difficult for their family to sleep and eat well.
Lu Yuan smiled slightly: Are there such boring monsters?
The reward for this bounty is also very generous—twelve taels of gold!
Of course, ordinary people cannot tell the levels of monsters, so there is still a certain risk for monks to unveil the list and succumb to monsters.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then reached out and peeled off the reward list...
The moon is full and the wind is high.
Lu Yuan successfully found the wealthy businessman's courtyard.
The wealthy businessman's surname is Zhang, a middle-aged man with a fat belly and a round waist.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was so young, a trace of distrust flashed across his face.
But then he forced out a professional smile: "Little fairy! Hahahaha! You came just in time!"
Boss Zhang invited Lu Yuan into the room, served him the best fragrant tea, and exchanged pleasantries.
He asked all the servants around him to go down, sighed, and said: "Master Lu, I don't know what kind of monsters and ghosts are making our house so restless. At night, they knock on the door, knock on the windows, step on the roof, and throw things. There are even more scary things. of……"
"What's more scary?" Lu Yuan took a sip of tea and asked leisurely.
Boss Zhang wiped his greasy face: "Alas! Sometimes when I lie on the bed, the monster pushes the entire bed up to the sea (note: the ancient name for the ceiling) and traps me. Then it swings the bed from side to side several times. I fell down from above and my bones were all broken!”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt angry and funny.
This demon didn't kill anyone, so it was probably a Yang demon. But he is so naughty and must be rectified.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhang. I'll wait and see tonight."
"Thank you, Master Immortal! Oh, thank you..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a shout from outside the gate: "Master! Good news! Good news!"
Boss Zhang stood up with a smile on his face: "Master Xian, my butler is back."
Just as he finished speaking, a capable middle-aged man wearing a green cloth gown ran in.
The housekeeper saluted Boss Zhang, and when he saw Lu Yuan sitting aside, he was surprised and also saluted.
Lu Yuan nodded and clasped his fists at him.
Boss Zhang asked eagerly: "What's the good news? Have you also found the immortal master?"
"That's right!" the butler said excitedly, "As soon as I went to Yunlai Hotel to put up the reward list, a big man came over to see it, and then he immediately posted the reward list, so I brought him over."
"Where is he now?"
"Right outside the door."
Boss Zhang said happily: "Please come quickly!"
The housekeeper brought the big man over.
The man was in his forties, with a full beard and a strong build.
He cupped his fists at the wealthy businessman and said, "Boss Zhang, Taoist Master Luo is so polite!"
Boss Zhang stood up to greet him and said, "It turns out to be Master Luo Xian, haha, I've admired him for a long time!"
Lu Yuan cupped his fists in greeting and at the same time used his magical power to restrain his aura.
Then with a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he saw the opponent's cultivation level - first-order four-star.
In a blink of an eye, Lao Luo saw Lu Yuan standing aside. Seeing the attire of his gourd sword, he already guessed his identity as a demon master.
He glanced at Lu Yuan with his consciousness and found that he was only a first-level and two-star cultivation level, so he snorted coldly at him and said, "Hey, there is another kid who wants to watch the fun?"
Lu Yuan said: "Master Luo is joking, I am also here to slay demons."
