Liu Yuansi said: "Qinglian mentioned something to me. There is such a thing in the Yu Tai Temple. But I don't know what it is specifically."
The artifacts of the country have existed in all dynasties, with the purpose of supporting the country and revitalizing the government during times of national crisis.
But the artifacts of each dynasty are different.
Neither the master nor the disciple knew what this dynasty's artifact was.
Lu Yuan said: "Did he tell you the specific time?"
"I didn't say anything specific. I just said it would be a few years later."
"Let's talk about things in a few years. We all need to be prepared now and step up our practice to fight against future disasters. There are still very important things to be completed as a teacher in more than a year. We will solve them after they are completed. This issue."
Liu Yuansi nodded and said reluctantly: "Master, are we going to say goodbye today?"
Lu Yuan had not been in contact with this apprentice for a long time, but he found Liu Yuansi very interesting and talented.
"No, I will go back to Xiulin Town with you, and then go to Luoyun City, which is nearest to you."
About a hundred miles southeast of the village where Liu Yuansi lived, there was a large city called Luoyun City.
Among the sword refining materials, the most core main materials have been obtained, and now we still need the third-level metallic demon pill and the Bixiao Essence.
Neither is easy to come by.
The alien spirit has no clue at all, so he can only try his luck at the auction house in the big city.
As for the demon pill, there are many demons in the mountain, but not many of the third level.
And there are even fewer third-order metallic properties. Searching for monsters also takes time.
So visiting larger towns is your best option.
Government offices or taverns usually have demon-suppression notices, which can save time in searching.
In addition, most cities also have auction houses. Even if there is no sale, you can still go to find out the information.
Therefore, Lu Yuan decided to go back with Liu Yuansi first, and then go to Luoyun City.
"That's great! Master! Let's leave now?"
"No, let's go after dinner. This old Guo's craftsmanship is really top-notch."
…
After returning to Xiulin Town, Lu Yuan guided him for three days.
In the past three days, Liu Yuansi practiced hard and made rapid progress. You can basically learn the mind method on your own.
Lu Yuan said: "This puts me at ease. I'm going to Luoyun City now. If you have any urgent matters, you can contact me."
"Master, don't worry, my disciple will not disturb you at will. I hope everything goes well for you here!"
"Okay, let's just say goodbye. Take care!"
Although Luoyun City is not an important town in Nanzhao, there is still a lot of business travel.
Some nanmu also has to be transported to the imperial city through here.
However, the mountains and forests around the city are dense, and monsters come into the city from time to time to hurt people, and occasionally ambush merchants halfway through.
They don't take money either, they just eat people very directly.
Lu Yuan first went to the tavern to collect information.
He carefully read the information on the bounty wall.
In the past, when bounties were offered in taverns, monster levels were rarely listed.
Luoyun City is a big city, and there are all kinds of people in the city, so we have a more detailed understanding of the levels of monsters.
So it was easy for him to see what was going on.
Unfortunately, there are no third-level monsters on the bounty wall.
He ordered two snacks and sat in the corner, listening carefully to the conversation between the drinkers.
After practicing, his ears have become extremely sensitive and will not miss anyone's whisper.
I heard a lot about strange gossips and family feuds, but I didn't get any information about the Bixiao Essence.
Collecting information will not be easy, and Lu Yuan has already been mentally prepared.
He sat there for most of the day, and after paying the bill, he hurried out of the tavern and walked to the city gate bulletin board.
There were many people gathered in front of the bulletin board. There are mortals and monks.
They pointed at it and talked about it.
"Wow! The first-order nine-star monster is already very powerful! Even the iron spears of the escort team were bitten off last time!"
"After all, the first level is only the first level, which is several levels different from the second level one-star. I heard that this second level monster ate four soldiers in one meal!"
"My dear, is it true or not?"
"Of course it's true! My brother-in-law's brother-in-law's uncle's sister's next door neighbor's aunt and her second brother saw it with their own eyes!"
…
It seems that I have no chance to use these materials today.
If that doesn't work, you'd better buy it from an auction house that eats people without spitting out their bones.
Lu Yuan felt the mysterious stone in the ring.
After constant fighting, he also accumulated a lot of wealth.
It should still be possible to buy the amount of alien essence he needs.
It's just that he should be slaughtered.
Let’s take a look first and then talk!
Lu Yuan thought like this as he prepared to leave the city wall and head to the auction house.
"Hey, hey, hey! The person in front should give way!"
A small group of officers and soldiers walked into the crowd holding a placard and pushing and shoving.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but stop and watch.
The leading soldier quickly posted a notice on the bulletin board.
This notice is much larger than the ordinary one, with a ferocious wolf head painted on it.
But this wolf is different from ordinary ones. It has some characteristics of the human race mixed in with it.
Lu Yuan could tell at a glance that it was a wolf demon.
Scan the content again——
It’s actually a mid-level third-order monster!
The crowd exploded.
"Second-level monsters are already very powerful. How can they be so powerful at third-level?"
"It's unimaginable!"
"The bounty is also extremely generous."
"I've heard of this wolf demon. It was extremely ferocious. Once, it demolished a government office and ate all the people inside!"
"Don't let me encounter this monster. If you are going to encounter it, I must run away!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lu Yuan was overjoyed: After searching for so long, it’s finally here!
He hurried over and took off the banner without saying a word.
The captain of the officers and soldiers was very surprised to see that such a dangerous reward was revealed just after it was posted:
"Little monk, I see that you are not very big. Do you not understand how powerful third-level monsters are?"
Everyone looked at Lu Yuan, who was still a teenager. They were surprised at first, and then they all laughed.
"Here comes a fool who is not afraid of death."
"Hahaha! Are you going to feed it?"
"This kid is just afraid of being eaten again..."
Lu Yuan cupped his hands and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness. But now that the list has been revealed, I can't return it. Captain, are you right?"
The captain nodded and said: "Yes! The official list is not a child's play. If it is revealed, you have to go."
Some people were jealous of the bounty, but knew that it was extremely dangerous to go there, so they had no choice but to leave.
Everyone made a fuss for a while, looking at Lu Yuan as if they were playing a trick, and then gradually dispersed.
The captain said to Lu Yuan: "Little immortal master, this demon has been active in the north of the city recently. The mountains and forests there are very dense, and we estimate that it has a demon cave there. Now that you have revealed the list, you are responsible for your own life and death. Go to the north to have a look at night, and say Maybe it will come again tonight."
"Okay. Is this monster really a third level?"
The captain was stunned and said with a faint smile: "Is the government still lying to you? From what the immortal master said, it seems that you think third-level monsters are easy to deal with?"
"No, no. The third-level monsters are very strong and not easy to deal with," Lu Yuan scratched his head, "But there is no other way. I am forced by life. For these money, I will risk my life."
The captain sighed: "Life is not easy. I have a brother who is as old as you. He was eaten by a monster not long ago... If you can't catch the monster, it's important to save your life."
Lu Yuan said with emotion: "Thank you, Master Jun. I will be careful."
At night, Lu Yuan spent the night at a hotel near the north gate.
During the day, he secretly placed small triangles made of talisman paper everywhere in the north of the city.
These things formed a large warning circle after casting spells.
Once a demon enters these areas, he will know it immediately.
If such a large-scale magic circle with wide coverage was used for combat, Lu Yuan could not arrange it yet.
But for investigation purposes, with his mid-second-order spiritual realm, it is completely sufficient.
In the dead of night, he did not rest, but meditated intently, sensing the movement of the warning circle.
As a result, I was speechless all night...
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yuan took a short rest and continued to hang out in teahouses and restaurants to collect news about the Bixiao Essence.
But nothing was gained.
I continued to monitor the wolf demon at night, but nothing happened.
Is there something wrong with my array? impossible.
This formation is not difficult to arrange in "Tian Yuan Ji Ce Tu".
Stay one more night. If it doesn’t happen on the third night, I will go outside the city to find the demon cave.
On the third day, repeat what happened on the second day.
At night.
The temperature dropped a bit this night. Although Lu Yuan was not afraid of heat or cold, he could still feel the change in temperature.
In the night, the stars and moon disappeared, and only a faint light leaked from the dark sky.
Lu Yuan kept his spiritual consciousness and continued to sense the changes in the magic circle.
Everything was fine in the first half of the night.
By the middle of the night.
"Buzz...buzz..."
Near the Yuanlai Inn in the north corner of the city, a message suddenly came from the triangular talisman paper.
coming!
Lu Yuan's heart moved and he immediately jumped up from the futon.
The inn where he stayed was some distance away from Yuanlai Inn.
Lu Yuan did not run, but flew over with the cloud-piercing dragonfly.
After flying for a moment, he smelled faint wisps of evil spirit coming from a distance, mixed with the fishy smell of wild beasts.
Lu Yuan's eyes were reddish and he scanned the front alertly.
The demonic aura is sometimes strong and sometimes light, it seems that this wolf demon knows the art of breathing.
Lu Yuan didn't find it in the air.
Wolves are inherently good hunters who are good at hiding and making sudden attacks. This is a residential area again, with intricate streets and alleys.
So it takes a while to find monsters.
Lu Yuan quietly flew to the tallest tree in front.
He sat on the treetop and looked at everything below.
"Bang...bang bang!" The watchman hit the bang with a lantern, making a crisp sound.
"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"
One or two barks were heard in the distance and disappeared immediately.
The light of the lantern passed under the trees and slowly disappeared around the street corner. Only a faint red light was seen.
Within three breaths, the fire suddenly fell and immediately ignited on the ground.
Lu Yuan immediately realized: something happened!
He used the cloud-piercing dragonfly to fly away quickly.
In the corner of the alley, a huge wolf demon is rushing towards the watchman!
The wolf demon has gray-black fur all over its body. Its hind limbs have been transformed into a human shape, and its head also has a human outline. The rest of the body basically maintains the appearance of a wolf.
The moment the huge, sharp wolf claws were about to catch the watchman, a round shield composed of five flying knives immediately struck and blocked the huge claws.
"Keng!"
The shield turned into a flying sword was knocked far away by the wolf's claws, and a nearby tree was cut in half with a "swish" sound.
Lu Yuan smiled in his heart: This wolf monster is so fierce! I like!
