In the morning, Kang Fu walked out of his cave. In fact, he smelled the smell of blood outside before he walked out. He had become accustomed to this. His precious apprentice would kill them outside every time he came back. The monsters he killed were skinned, gutted, and fleshed out next to his cave. However, this time when Kang Fu walked out of the cave, he was a little shocked by what he saw. There was scarlet blood on the ground, and a lot of people were skinned by Lu Pingchuan. The skins that came off were piled aside casually, waiting to be tanned. There was also a big guy who had long since expired, like a brown bear, lying on the ground. Lu Pingchuan was only wearing a short shirt and was holding down the dead skin with one hand. On the fallen monster, the other hand held a knife and moved "chichi" among the monster's flesh. Then with a "dong" sound, the knife in his hand poked on the wooden case, and then with a strong force He turned the monster over, then grabbed the knife again. After seeing Kang Fu, Lu Pingchuan happily shouted "Master", and then continued to work. There was someone beside Lu Pingchuan. There were several wooden shelves with iron hooks hanging on them. Monster beasts that had been skinned and gutted were hanging on them. Once out, these were the only things Lu Pingchuan valued most. All are good ingredients.
Well, Kang Fu secretly thought, this guy has made his cave as if it were a butcher shop.
This scene happened so often that it was not unusual. However, what made Kang Fu look a little dazed was that whether it was the monster Lu Pingchuan was skinning on the chopping board or the skinned monster hanging on the wooden shelf nearby, there were He's a mid-level guy.
What best proves this point is that there is a plate on the wooden table. There are more than a dozen round balls stained with blood. It can be seen at a glance that they are demon pills, and they are intermediate demon pills.
First of all, Kang Fu was a monk who formed alchemy and had a lot of experience. Secondly, his nickname was "Houtu Paoding". I don't know how many ferocious and ferocious monsters that made people jealous passed through his hands and were either grilled or killed. After being cooked or stir-fried, they become delicious delicacies. Therefore, no matter whether the skins of most monsters have been peeled off or not, he can tell what monster they are and what grade they are at a glance. From this point of view, Generally speaking, Kang Fu's understanding of spiritual beasts may only be inferior to those of the monks from the Spirit Control Sect. Even if a piece of meat cut from a monster beast is put in front of him, he can tell what kind of monster meat it is with a glance or a casual touch, and he can also tell what kind of monster the meat is from. Because of this ability, he glanced at the wooden shelf next to Lu Pingchuan that was hung with meat, and immediately knew that all the meat hanging there were mid-level monsters.
If there were just one or two, Kang Fu wouldn't care, but there were already more than a dozen there, some big and some small, of different varieties. The most important thing was that Lu Pingchuan had just leathered the monster beast on the wooden case. After peeling it off completely, he raised his hand to hang it on the wooden shelf, and then turned around and pulled out another monster from a storage bag, which turned out to be an intermediate level one.
While Lu Pingchuan was busy, Kang Fu came over and picked up the storage bag and looked at it. If he didn't look at it, he would be surprised. Senior Kang was even more surprised when he saw that there were more than thirty middle-level animals in the storage bag. Monster.
Intermediate monsters are recognized as powerful beings that only foundation-building monks can deal with. Why are they so unbearable to his disciples? Kang Fu asked in confusion:
"Boy, are all the monsters here obtained by you during this trip?"
"That's right, hehe."
Kang Fu knew where his apprentice was going this time, the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. Lu Pingchuan had told him before going out, but didn't he say that Qian Chao was the only one going to that forbidden place? Why did you bring back so many mid-level monsters?
"How did you catch these?" Kang Fu asked again.
"Alas, it wasn't us who caught him, but Brother Qian caught him in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. While he was happy inside, the rest of us could only wait outside. When he came out, we would bring these guys out."
"They were all...killed by Qian Chao alone?"
"Yeah, he was the only one who went into the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. The four of us didn't go in. We have been waiting outside."
Kang Fu's understanding of Qian Chao used to be that the child was a very smart person. After Fairy Guhuo tested Qian Chao, Kang Fu had a new understanding of Qian Chao's methods. Looking back now, Kang Fu felt I still underestimated Qian Chao's methods.
"How did he do that?"
"Brother Qian is proficient in formations. These guys were killed after being hit by his formations. Hehe, Master, I can't deal with these guys now."
Kang Fu sighed:
"Well, you really can't deal with these guys now. It seems that among the Qi Refining disciples, Qian Chao's methods are considered top-notch."
"Of course. Oh, by the way, Master, look at this guy."
As he spoke, Lu Pingchuan turned around and kicked the big brown bear-like guy and said:
"Brother Qian said that this guy's body was covered with a thick layer of stuff like armor, made of stones sticky with pine oil. But these stones were not ordinary stones. Brother Qian said they were all rare gems. He asked me Find a way to get these stones off from above so that he can use them for refining weapons. Well, I can pull these stones off, but my method will definitely destroy a lot of these stones. What good ideas does Master have?"
Kang Fu took a look and said:
"This is a wart. It really likes to have a layer of hard stuff on its body for protection. Well, it's easy to say. You go to my cave and get a jar of strong wine. The stronger the better, put it in your mouth and spray it on it. This solid layer of pine oil melts away on its own without any effort at all.”
"It's that simple! I'll get the wine right now!"
Seeing his disciple striding toward his cave, Kang Fu suddenly realized something and said anxiously:
"Wait a minute, you kid, don't be greedy and harm my good wine."
"Hey, I got it."
…
In Qian Chao's residence, Ah Jiu, Tang Ping and Qian Chao were sitting together and talking.
Ah Jiu said:
"I heard from Tang Ping that you prepared everything in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest?"
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my fate," Qian Chao said, "The arrow pig and the trumpet bird are now trapped in the formation I arranged. Miss Ninth will be able to deal with them in a few days."
Ah Jiu asked a little confused:
"Why do we have to wait a few more days? Can't we go now?"
"The reason is also very simple. The formation below that traps the Arrow Pig and the Horn Bird is arranged according to the spiritual veins of the place where they live. That formation is enough to trap them firmly and prevent them from escaping, but it can only Although they can be trapped, the formation cannot weaken those two guys. Therefore, although they are trapped, the combat power of the two guys is not damaged and they are still very fierce. Therefore, I have also arranged one each to weaken them. The formations can continuously consume the spiritual energy in their bodies, but after all, I am still a Qi Refining monk, and higher-level formations cannot be deployed yet. Therefore, the formations that can weaken the spiritual energy of monster beasts are very effective against ordinary monsters and even monsters. Intermediate level monsters are very effective, and can be said to have immediate results, but for the level monsters of Arrow Pig and Hao Xiaoniao, the effect is much slower, so to be safe, Miss Jiu still has to wait patiently for another four or five days. , when the arrow pigs and trumpet birds in the formation are extremely weak, it will be the most energy-saving and safest way for Miss Ninth to deal with them."
Ah Jiu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. She cherished feathers and used Qian Chao to deal with arrow pigs and trumpet birds because she didn't want to get rid of them and get injured all over. Qian Chao's arrangement made Ah Jiu Jiu was very satisfied. Then Qian Chao took out two small wooden signs strung with animal tendons from the storage bag and said:
"When Ninth Girl goes to Thousand Needles Pine Forest, please be sure to wear this thing on your body before taking action. I have arranged two formations for each monster. Wearing this will protect Ninth Girl from those two formations. Influence."
Only then did Ah Jiu realize that he would also be affected by Qian Chao's formation. He took the things Qian Chao gave him and asked with some worry:
"Can wearing this really not be affected by your formation?"
Qian Chao smiled and said:
"That's right. If Miss Ninth doesn't believe it, I can go with you when Miss Ninth leaves. How about that?"
Ah Jiu thought for a moment and said:
"Well, that's not necessary, Mr. Qian, if everything goes well this time, then we can continue to cooperate in the future. I know many good places."
Qian Chao smiled again and said:
"Miss Ninth, of course we must continue to cooperate, but the way of cooperation may change..."
"Oh, change? How to change?"
"Well, I have considered the future cooperation with Miss Ninth. This time in Thousand Needles Pine Forest, Miss Ninth was the one who got rid of the most powerful monster in the forest. In the future, I may change it to get rid of the most powerful monster in the forbidden area. Put the powerful monsters first. For example, if we go out once, after coming back, Miss Ninth can go to one or even two forbidden places to receive blood food..."
Ah Jiu was very smart. After hearing this, she immediately realized the key point of Qian Chao's words. She turned to Tang Ping and said:
"What's your idea? If your sister finds out about your little thoughts, she will give you a good lesson. Maybe she will really ground you."
Tang Ping said:
"Don't worry, I will tell Master about this when you come back from Thousand Needles Pine Forest. If Master doesn't agree, I won't dare."
"Then I understand. You two want me to give your master a look and eliminate her worries, right?"
"Ajiu, what did you say to my master last night? When the water is clear, there will be no fish. How come you don't know this truth about seeing through but not telling about it?"
"Haha, okay, if that's the case, I'll keep silent and just wait for my sister to ask me. Anyway, it's good for me. Since there's nothing else, I'll leave. I'll leave for Thousand Needles Pine Forest in four or five days."
After Ah Jiu left, Tang Ping asked a little worriedly:
"Why is Ah Jiu wearing two wooden plaques? Is there really no problem in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest?"
Qian Chao smiled and said:
"You are really a woodcutter who comes down the mountain and pays the salary on both ends. Don't worry, nothing will happen in Thousand Needles Pine Forest. If you are worried, then I will go with Ah Jiu. Well, I can take you with me. Can you rest assured, sir?"
"Apart from my master, Ah Jiu is now very taboo about letting others see her true form, so she won't let you follow her. Besides, you have trapped those two guys. If you find someone else to follow you, , Ah Jiu will feel that her face is dull, as if she is said to be incompetent."
"Well, don't worry, just wait for the news from Ajiu. Girl Tang, today we should visit Senior Tang Bo. It's best if the five of us go together. After all, I didn't know what happened outside Thousand Needles Pine Forest at that time. See, when is the right time for you?"
Tang Ping knew what Qian Chao meant. This time she went to Tang Bonian to formally ask the sect elders to start investigating Zhang Yi. She said:
"In the afternoon or evening, I went there once in the morning. My sixth grandfather is not in the cave. Several senior brothers said they went out, but they will definitely come back today."
"Okay then, it's settled."
"By the way, Mr. Qian, have Zhu Yan and Wei Gelin found out?"
Upon hearing this question, Qian Chao sighed and said:
"I found out. I got it from Feng You. I was about to tell you. It seems like there will be another trouble."
