Lu Ming:......
Pei Yan's words have so many flaws, I really don't know where to start.
However, now is not the time to think about this.
At the critical moment when his life was at stake, Lu Ming didn't care about anything and just shouted desperately: "Brother Pei, help me!"
With just such a word, the flying black dragon's tail whipped over.
Lu Ming tried his best to dodge, but his spiritual power and physical strength were greatly consumed, and he was powerless.
Seeing the shimmering tail magnifying in his retina, Lu Ming felt like his soul was trembling - my life is at risk!
"The retreat tactic!"
At this critical moment, Lu Ming vaguely heard these three words.
Then, the scaly tail was frozen, and then, the entire black dragon seemed to be hit by a huge force and flew out sideways.
This, this is being beaten away?
That, that is the ninth level demon!
Converted to the cultivation level of a human monk, he is an ancestor in the god-transformation stage.
Lu Ming narrowly escaped death, and his brain's reaction seemed to be a beat slower.
He was suspended in the air in a daze, and it took him a while to wake up.
He glanced at the direction where the flying black dragon was whipped away, and then at Pei Yan, who was standing not far away holding an orange tabby cat, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Pei Yan was able to repel a level nine monster with just three words of magic?
"Brother Pei, how high is your cultivation level?"
Lu Ming was probably too shocked to ask such a question stupidly.
After asking, Lu Ming himself felt a little annoyed: "What are I asking? Pei Yan can blow away a ninth-level demon. Even if his cultivation level has not reached the god transformation stage, it is not just a simple foundation building stage." .”
But, how is this possible?
Lu Ming is an immortal and knows some secrets that ordinary monks don't know.
For example, since the end of the war between immortals and demons more than 2,000 years ago, there are only a few great powers in the god-transformation stage left in the Xizhou continent.
And it is impossible for even these ancestors to blow away a ninth-level monster with just one click!
Who is this Pei Yan?
Is he really just a casual cultivator in the foundation building stage?
"Brother Lu, my cultivation level is not high, but the techniques I practice are more domineering. Sometimes I can challenge you beyond the next level!"
Pei Yan did not answer Lu Ming's question directly, but made an excuse casually.
"Can I jump to a higher level challenge?"
Lu Ming couldn't laugh or cry. To a certain extent, he should be considered a sword cultivator.
The sword cultivator is a famous cultivating madman in the world of immortal cultivation, and one of the few madmen who can leapfrog the challenge.
However, the leapfrog challenge that Lu Ming was familiar with was that a sword cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage could try his best to fight against a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core Stage.
Pei Yan's "feat" just now was definitely not an over-level challenge!
However, cultivators all have their own secrets. He and Pei Yan were just a chance encounter, not even close friends, and they were most taboo in talking to each other.
People say it for the time being, and Lu Ming believes it for the time being.
Even if you don't believe it, you can't just say it outright, let alone get to the bottom of it.
"Thank you, Brother Lu. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have died in the belly of a snake."
"Don't worry, my cat has helped to collect the Ten Thousand Years Beacon Flower. Once the elixir is refined, I will give you half of it!"
Finally out of danger (at least for the time being, his life was not in danger), and Lu Ming was in the mood to discuss other matters.
He said sincerely, "Logically, since Brother Pei saved me, I should give you all the Ten Thousand Years of Beacon Flowers! But, I really need to form the golden elixir this time -"
"You mean this?"
Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Pei Yan turned over his left hand, and a green spiritual grass appeared in his palm.
"Ten thousand-year-old pecan flower? How is that possible?"
Lu Ming's pupils were shaking.
The fiery eyes almost burned through the spiritual grass in Lu Ming's hand.
Is this true or false?
According to legend, there is only one ten-thousand-year-old green root flower in the Blood Mist Demonic Forest.
And just now, I got my white cat with help.
Lu Ming quickly raised his hand, and when he ran for his life, he didn't forget to grab his cat.
Therefore, he carried every white cat in his hand.
"Ouch!" What are you doing?
Although the cat was grabbed by the neck, it didn't feel too uncomfortable.
But, Yoyo’s soul is that of a human being, not a meow.
Being carried like this, she, the majestic Meow, is shameless.
Lu Ming didn't bother to explain to the white cat. His eyes fell directly on one of the white cat's paws.
The white cat paws are clean and fluffy, and they look very cute.
The small claws grasped hard, and the roots of the Ten Thousand Years Beacon Flower were still stained with soil.
Therefore, I was not hallucinating, but with the help of the white cat, I actually got a ten-year-old pecan flower.
But what happened to the one in Pei Yan's hand?
"Brother Lu, what's wrong? Isn't this the Ten Thousand Years Beacon Flower?"
"……yes!"
"Let me tell you, my cat is the smartest, how could I make a mistake!"
Lu Ming: ...What do you mean?
Did your cat help you get your ten-year-old pecan flower?
Why do I not believe it so much!
Lu Ming had not forgotten Pei Yan's unconditional doting on the orange demon.
Tsk, for such a "sexy and stupid" guy, in order to put gold on his cat demon's face, he would probably do anything "pretentious"——
He got the spiritual grass, but he just put all the credit on his own cat demon!
Of course, he couldn't blame Lu Meditation. In fact, in his understanding, a first-level and second-level little monster beast was of ordinary breed, with low cultivation level and no innate skills from its bloodline. It was basically a prey of "the weak and the strong". vegetable.
Pei Yan said it could do anything, but Lu Ming didn't believe it at all!
He would rather believe that Bai Bai, after all, "robbed the treasure from Shekou" in front of him!
What about the orange demon?
Said it collected spiritual grass? Who saw it? Who can testify?
Oh, by the way, the owner who dotes on the demon pet does not count!
Of course, Lu Ming didn't believe it, but he wouldn't say it.
He even praised against his will: "It turns out that Brother Lu's demon pet did a great job! It's amazing!"
Although Lu Ming was of high birth and high-spirited, he had a minimum level of intelligence and would not question someone else's demon pet in front of a doting owner.
It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, what matters is that you can continue to make good friends with a boss like Pei Yan!
"My cat is really awesome!"
Sure enough, when he heard Lu Ming's "sincere" praise, Pei Yan, who had always been indifferent (world-weary), smiled slightly.
Lu Ming:......
Even though he has a high IQ and EQ, he doesn't know how to continue with such a topic.
Rather than embarrass yourself by bragging, you might as well draw a topic.
Lu Ming subconsciously glanced at the direction where the flying-winged snake demon was being whipped away, and asked, "Brother Pei, I think your technique is very overbearing."
"It's just that this time it's just the 'Retreat' tactic and not the 'Killing tactic'!"
Lu Ming didn't want to question him, but he was really curious.
Because he always felt that Pei Yan's cultivation was unfathomable, and his "Fa Jue" technique seemed to be very magical and domineering.
He even felt that Pei Yan was capable of killing the flying black dragon.
But Pei Yan just whipped the opponent away and didn't kill him. Lu Ming really didn't understand.
"Oh, it's nothing. The black dragon is a bit ugly, but it didn't offend my cat. There's no need to
I want to kill you! "
Pei Yan replied casually.
Lu Ming:......
So, Pei Yan, can you really kill the ninth-level demon? !
Realizing this, Lu Ming's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Boss! !
Lu Ming was so excited that he almost knelt down.
However, although Lu Ming was eager to hug his thigh, he didn't lose it.
"Why?"
"Pei Yan can kill a ninth-level demon, which shows that his cultivation has already reached an unfathomable level. He can walk across the Xizhou Continent by himself, so why bother with me, a low-level monk who has not yet formed a golden elixir? 'An alliance?"
The so-called allies are a collection of interests and a two-way interaction between the two parties.
If only one party can provide value, such a relationship cannot be regarded as cooperation at all, but as "following".
Lu Ming longed to hug Pei Yan's golden thigh, but he also had the pride of belonging to a famous family and disciple of immortal cultivators.
He does not want to be a follower following the boss, but a partner who can provide value to each other.
"Brother Pei, I am from the Lu family in the West Sea. My parents and elders are all monks at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."
"I, the Lu family, have stood on the Xizhou Continent for tens of thousands of years and know some of the secrets of the Xizhou Continent."
"...The Lu family, Lingxiao Sect, etc. all have many cultivation resources..."
Lu Ming hugged the little white cat, put away the Ten Thousand Years Bean Flower, and began to chatter behind Pei Yan.
When he said this, he did not mean to show off his origin or show his "nobility".
He just wanted to tell Pei Yan: In Xizhou Continent, he, Lu Ming, still has some use.
Whether it was connections, resources, or some information he could share, Lu Ming could satisfy Pei Yan to the greatest extent.
It's a pity that when Pei Yan heard this, his fair and handsome face still showed a look of indifference - he didn't care! Not curious! Don't even care!
Lu Ming:......
He racked his brains and continued to show off his "capital".
As he was talking, Lu Ming caught a glimpse of the little cat demon held by Pei Yan out of the corner of his eye, and a thought suddenly moved in his mind.
"By the way, Brother Lu, do you know how I found the Ten Thousand Years Old Green Flower?"
"It's interesting to say that my Baibai actually has super-sense ability."
"Not only can it find enemies hiding in the dark, it can also smell the scent of spiritual creatures!"
"...Brother Lu, you will definitely be worthy of traveling with us!"
Lu Ming said a lot, really just wanted to prove the last sentence.
Pei Yan seemed to be moved as well.
"Your cat demon can hunt for treasure?"
Pei Yan asked lightly.
"It should be okay!" Lu Ming was used to being cautious and left himself some room when answering.
"I don't believe it! Your cat demon is definitely not as good as my cat!"
Pei Yan seemed to be possessed by Lu Yu and directly came up with a classic quotation.
Lu Ming:......
Gu Qingcheng seemed to have thought of something.
A pair of golden brown pupils flashed with obvious interest——
A big white cat that can hunt for treasure?
Could this be the silver-gold gradient mentioned in the synopsis of the story?
A "cat" with the blood of the ancient mythical beast White Tiger?
Is she also the heroine who studies immortality?
Oh well, if it were a female protagonist, Lu Ming would still be very reliable.
The white tiger is indeed not a treasure-hunting beast, but it is an ancient mythical beast, and it still represents auspiciousness.
Excellent bloodline inheritance allows it to sense danger and spiritual power.
Treating the white tiger as a treasure-hunting beast is another way of exploiting its identity as an "auspicious beast".
Not to mention, this silver gradient is still the heroine.
As for the female protagonists, especially those who practice fairy tales, they basically have Conan’s attributes.
"Accidents" happen wherever we go.
Well, being able to find treasures and encounter various crises... It seems good to follow a heroine like this.
If it were in the past, Gu Qingcheng would never have anything to do with the male and female protagonists.
She is not superstitious about the plot, let alone the halo of the protagonist, but this time——
This time, Gu Qingcheng has to go through "tribulations in the human world", experiencing joys and sorrows, love, hate, anger and ignorance.
Wouldn't having more "accidents" be more conducive to my own experience?
Uh, okay!
This is just a superficial reason, but the real reason is: Gu Qingcheng has discovered something is wrong and has vaguely touched the "truth".
She had a hunch that following the heroine and her official partner would help her uncover the truth!
"Meow!"
Gu Qingcheng let out a cute cry and put a furry little paw on the back of Pei Yan's hand.
Feeling the touch of the soft flesh pad, Pei Yan lowered his head and met the cat's eyes.
Round and shiny, with excitement and curiosity for "new things".
Pei Yan's heart was slightly touched, and his voice became softer: "Mao'er, do you want to be with them?"
"Meow!" thought!
Gu Qingcheng not only continued to scream sweetly, but also gently nodded her little round head.
Just, it’s very foul!
The whole furry dumpling is simply too cute and adorable!
Pei Yan never knew that he would be so "fascinated" by a kitten.
"Okay! Then we'll join them!"
Although Pei Yan didn't know what was wrong with him, he chose to "follow his heart".
Trust your feelings, follow your heart, and choose to pamper this cat.
Pei Yan had a hunch that his life would be completely different because of this kitten.
I have long been tired of this world, and it seems that I have an extra motivation to keep going.
Gently stroking the clean and soft hair of the little cat demon, Pei Yan's wandering heart seemed to have a direction.
"Brother Lu, Pei has just arrived in Xiuxian Continent and doesn't know much about this world. If Brother Lu is willing, can you give Pei some advice?"
Although Pei Yan has a cold temperament and doesn't care about anything, since he has decided to form an alliance with Lu Ming, he will show his sincerity.
He has a very good attitude towards Lu Ming.
Lu Ming felt more and more that he could make friends with a big boss like Pei Yan - his cultivation was just profound and unpredictable, but he could still say very humane and sophisticated words with a world-weary face.
"Brother Pei is so polite, Lu is definitely willing!"
Lu Ming smiled broadly and his attitude was extremely sincere.
He even secretly planned in his heart: make friends with Pei Yan and stay away from Han Linger.
Even Pei Yan's secular family might be able to ask the mortal families attached to the Lu family to "take care of it".
To cooperate, we really need to show sincerity.
A kid from a wealthy family like Lu Ming can do things very thoughtfully and beautifully as long as he thinks about it!
"Brother Pei, are we leaving now?"
Holding the little white cat in his arms, Lu Ming followed Pei Yan. Seeing him easily use the "Broken Word Jue" to disperse the bloody mist around him, Lu Ming couldn't help but look back.
Behind him was still the thick blood mist, with countless monsters hiding in it.
Bloody mist, roars one after another, there are many crises in the demon forest.
I originally thought that this trip to the Blood Mist Demonic Forest would be extremely difficult.
Even if you almost die, you may not be able to successfully pick the ten thousand year old pecan flower.
As a result, things turned out to be so weird.
The danger was indeed there. Lu Ming himself was almost swallowed by the snake demon.
However, Pei Yan's appearance made the whole thing feel weird.
Dangerous?
Three-character method
Get rid of it!
The only ten thousand year old pecan flower?
Not really!
There are actually several special meow plants.
Lu Ming couldn't describe what he was feeling, just one word - strange!
This experience in the Blood Mist Demonic Forest was different from his previous experiences.
The white cat huddled in Lu Ming's arms couldn't hear his master's voice, otherwise he would definitely tell him: Do you feel that your life of cultivating immortals is different from Pei Yan's?
What Lu Ming got should be an orthodox fairy tale script, while Pei Yan clearly got a script full of bugs.
Back in Blood Demon City, Lu Ming spoke to the Immortal Sect disciples and prepared to go to Xihai City with Pei Yan.
Xihai City is the territory of the Lu family, which is why the Lu family is called the Lu family of Xihai.
Xihai City is one of the more important fairy cities in Xizhou Continent. It is located in the center of the continent, surrounded by the sea on three sides, full of spiritual energy and rich in cultivation resources.
Of course, Lu Ming went to Xihai City not to go home, but to find the alchemy master to help him refine the elixir.
With the last ten thousand-year-old pecan flower, he finally gathered all the materials and could finally refine the elixir.
Lu Ming suppressed his cultivation and was not in a hurry to form the golden elixir. Not only did he want to practice his Taoist heart, but it was also because he did not have the elixir.
Although elixir-forming medicine is not necessary, with the elixir-forming medicine, the success rate of forming a golden elixir will be doubled.
Lu Ming is confident in his own strength, but he will not be blindly confident. He will prepare whatever needs to be prepared.
"Xihai City? I heard it's close to the outer sea monster realm? Are there many monster clans in the sea?"
When Pei Yan heard about the next stop's destination, he finally became a little interested.
Lu Ming: ...Oh, this world-weary cultivation master finally has something he is interested in?
etc!
Lu Ming's mind raced, and he quickly thought of a possibility——
This one is focusing on the monster clan in the sea, which is the "fish"!
And what cats like to eat most is fish.
Could it be——
Just when Lu Ming was secretly doubting, he heard Pei Yan whisper to the orange demon in his arms: "Cat, we are going to Xihai City. There are many sea monsters there. What do you want to eat? I Catch them all for you!"
have to!
Really for this cat demon!
Lu Ming really couldn't understand why Pei Yan, such a powerful person, would "cherish" an extremely ordinary cat demon so much.
This is no longer keeping the other person as a pet, but treating the other person as the "meaning" of one's existence!
Just, quite confusing.
However, even if he doesn't understand, Lu Ming doesn't mind his own business.
As long as the result is good - Boss Pei is willing to go to Xihai City with him - nothing else matters!
Before leaving, Lu Ming specially said a few words to one or two of the Immortal Sect disciples who were close friends with him:
"I think something is wrong with Junior Sister Han. We are just allies of the Nine Immortal Sects, not best friends. Please pay more attention."
"And that Shangguan Yun, he is too paranoid. You should also be careful!"
Lu Ming chose Pei Yan, so he and Han Linger were destined not to be friends.
Of course, he would not deliberately target Han Ling'er, but he would only regard her as a "junior sister" of his brother's sect.
Compared to Han Ling'er, Lu Ming cared more about his two brothers from the Weapon Refining Sect and the Lingjian Sect.
"...Okay! Senior Brother Lu, we can save it!"
"We met by chance on the road. For the sake of both being disciples of the Nine Immortal Sects, we went together. Since the other party is not very reliable, we just stay far away!"
The two Immortal Sect disciples exchanged glances with each other, and then expressed their stance in unison.
After hearing their words, Lu Ming felt relieved.
Without any more words, Lu Ming simply said goodbye and left the Blood Demon City with Pei Yan.
Flying Spirit Boat
After taking off, Lu Ming sat in the cabin holding the little white cat.
Pei Yan continued to fly in the air.
Lu Ming: ...The boss is the boss, he is willful enough.
One boat and one person rowed across the sky, heading towards Xihai City.
Han Linger has been treated, her bitten arm has been repaired, and the scratches on her face have scabbed.
But her whole state was not right, especially knowing that Lu Ming "left without saying goodbye" and walked with Pei Yan, her perverted heart became even more twisted.
"Lu Ming, you don't know how to appreciate someone!"
"Pei Yan, you deserve to die!!"
Wisps of black gas invisible to the naked eye began to flow toward Han Linger, wrapping her up.
One person and one boat travel in the air.
Lu Ming sat cross-legged and glanced at the "flying man" beside him, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
Know that you have spiritual power, so you can do whatever you want.
But, since there are more convenient and enjoyable air-control magic weapons, why do you still have to work so hard on yourself?
However, thinking of Pei Yan's indifferent expression of "no worries", Lu Ming did not persuade him directly.
After thinking about it, he changed his strategy: "Brother Pei, if you have a flying magic weapon, your cat will be more comfortable."
Being able to sit, lie down, eat, practice... is much better than being able to curl up in your arms and be blown by the strong wind.
Pei Yan:......
After looking at the messy kitten in his arms, Pei Yan had an idea. It was indeed not as comfortable as the white cat next door.
"Cat, how about I refine a unique flying magic weapon for you?"
Well, make a super big one with a room for eating and resting, and you can let the cats run and play freely.
Gu Qingcheng:...a magic weapon?
I have!
And it’s also a super “cool” one.
Gu Qingcheng struggled violently and jumped out of Pei Yan's arms again.
A small fur ball fell straight from the sky.
"Cat!" After this experience, Pei Yan didn't panic too much when he encountered a similar thing for the second time.
However, he still chased the falling little ball of hair.
Lu Ming: ...What is this little kitten doing?
Fortunately, they had already flown over the sea, and the water was below them.
If the little cat demon falls, he probably won't be killed!
thump!
Gu Qingcheng fell into the sea water. She did not rush to flutter, but held her breath, ran her skills, and got herself a "spiritual shield".
The transparent cover isolated the sea water, and Gu Qingcheng headed straight towards the bottom of the sea.
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard a splash of water, and an orange cat jumped out of the sea with a small thing in its mouth.
"Coffin, coffin?"
Pei Yan's usually calm eyes once again flashed with surprise...
