What? That Demonic Cultivator Had Already Been Dealt With?
Inside Cyan Sun Spirit Mine, Chang Shunping looked at Cao Wunian who fell to the ground, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
The last time I saw Xiao Chen showing off his power, he struck Foundation Establishment with one sword.
Chang Shunping naturally trusts Xiao Chen's strength in his heart, otherwise he would not have rushed to Cyan Sun Spirit Mine to wait for him this time, wanting to discuss countermeasures with him.
But just now, when he saw that Cao Wunian's momentum suddenly surged, even causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to riot, he couldn't help but panic.
Just by the pressure, he could tell that that kind of power did not belong to Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Chang Shunping has seen more than one Foundation Establishment Great Perfection before, and seen how they took action.
But no one has ever made him feel like his heart was beating from a few hundred feet away like Cao Wunian just did.
Therefore, he immediately launched Signal Arrow, hoping to summon reinforcements that might be nearby.
At the same time, he pulled out his Flying Sword and wanted to go up and help Xiao Chen fight the enemy together.
Under normal circumstances, when facing the threat of a strong enemy, it is definitely more effective for two people to support together than to resist alone.
But Chang Shunping subconsciously took a step forward, but stopped again.
That was when Cao Wunian was at its most powerful, and he was scared.
Chang Shunping is just an ordinary monk who was forcibly promoted to Foundation Establishment Stage 6 by relying on elixirs and spiritual objects.
Benefiting from the inheritance left by his ancestors, although his cultivation process cannot be said to be smooth, he has basically encountered no obstacles, and he seriously lacks practical experience.
I thought about the Chang Family still needing someone to protect me, and I thought about White Bone Gate's evil reputation in the past.
Chang Shunping hesitated, not knowing whether he should go up to help or take the opportunity to escape. He froze on the spot and fell into the Celestial Person battle.
Just when he was stunned, Cao Wunian had completed the transformation.
His figure actually expanded to a foot long, and he transformed into a White Bone Giant that could cause the sound of air explosions with every move he made.
One step can leave a large hole on the ground several feet deep and several feet wide.
After punching out, you can feel the strong wind blowing past your face from dozens of feet away.
Like a Demon God descending into the world, even the Top-Grade Magical Artifact-class shield was crumbling under his fist.
Chang Shunping immediately shuddered. If the target of that punch was himself, there would only be one outcome, and that would be to be smashed into a pile of meat.
However, the next moment, he saw the most incredible scene he had ever seen in his life.
Xiao Chen actually took the initiative to put away all Law Artifact and stood there with his hands behind his back.
Chang Shunping was confused at the time. What does this mean?
Could it be that Xiao Chen decided to give up resistance?
But he soon learned the reason, because what happened next was a complete and utter trick.
It is obvious that White Bone Giant can span fifty feet with one step.
In front of Xiao Chen, he looked as clumsy as a child who had just learned to walk.
No matter how he sprinted, jumped, or slashed, all he saw was Golden Light flashing around, and all his attacks were in vain.
Every time Golden Light flashes, Xiao Chen's body appears directly dozens of feet away.
He shuttled back and forth under Qingyang Mountain, his clothes fluttering in the strong wind, as if he was dancing gracefully.
Chang Shunping As a spectator, I was dazzled and overwhelmed by what I saw.
If the field of view was not wide enough, it would be impossible to find the location of Xiao Chen.
If we say White Bone Giant just now, it represents a power that does not belong to Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
The flashing Golden Light undoubtedly represents a speed that does not belong to Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Chang Shunping had a question from the bottom of his heart, "Is there really Foundation Establishment Cultivator, can it be so fast?"
This was actually a misunderstanding on his part. Even Xiao Chen couldn't achieve such a fast speed if it was a long-distance journey.
But in such a familiar environment, it is not a problem to quickly dodge in a short period of time.
Therefore, from the moment Cao Wunian took "Sacred Pill", the outcome of this battle was already determined.
Seeing Xiao Chen pick up Storage Bag from the ground and start cleaning up the battlefield.
Chang Shunping suddenly woke up and realized that he was still standing where he was. In the end, he did not dare to rush forward to help.
He quickly put away Flying Sword, feeling a little ashamed, but also feeling a little lucky.
Ashamed of his lack of strength, fortunately he met Xiao Chen and successfully escaped this crisis.
Then he hurriedly greeted him and said congratulations, "Congratulations to Daoist Xiao. This time Spirit Origin Sect has issued a double reward for meritorious service. Fellow Daoist's meritorious deeds have been collected immediately."
When the two were chatting before, Xiao Chen once said that he wanted to be Demon Slayer Guard.
Originally, he was still short of two Foundation Establishment Late Stage magic cultivators, but now Cao Wunian is worth two. As long as he waits until the rotation next month, he can be directly promoted to Demon Slayer Guard.
At that time, you no longer need to be assigned the garrison mission of the Spirit Origin Sect and can move freely.
Chang Shunping then congratulated. "I heard that among all the previous Demon Slayer Guards, the one who was promoted the fastest took half a year to collect the merits."
"Daoist Xiao has already met the conditions in just two months ahead of schedule. He is truly gifted and has extraordinary strength!"
"With this speed, I'm afraid no one will be able to surpass fellow Daoist in the future."
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "Daoist Chang won the prize. I'm just lucky and encountered some suitable opportunities."
This is not entirely due to his humility, it is mainly because he is assigned to a place like Cyan Sun Spirit Mine. If he wants to meet a sufficient number of demon cultivators, it is indeed inseparable from a little luck.
Otherwise, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to obtain meritorious service unless he meets a demon cultivator.
While the two were talking, a Sword Light suddenly flashed across the sky.
Then a middle-aged man wearing a black shirt jumped out, holding Jade Ruler.
He asked urgently, "Two fellow Daoists, Spiritual Qi was agitated here just now, and Signal Arrow was lit up. I wonder what the situation is now. Where is the incoming demon cultivator now?"
Because the speed was so fast, it wasn't until he finished asking that a strong wind followed him, mixed with bursts of Spiritual Qi fluctuations.
Judging from this power, the opponent is obviously a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection monk.
Chang Shunping was stunned when he saw this. He didn't expect that the Signal Arrow he launched before actually called for reinforcements.
Then he explained, "Qingyang Chang Family Chang Shunping, I just sent Signal Arrow."
"Thank you to this fellow Daoist for coming to help, but Daoist Xiao has already dealt with the invading demonic cultivator."
After hearing that the matter had been resolved, Yang Huai'an, who came to support, immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Chen.
Since receiving the summons from the Spirit Origin Sect yesterday, he immediately set out to patrol around, hoping to capture the demon cultivator in advance and prevent the other party from using Flame Crystal Stone to cause trouble.
As one of the only eight Demon Slayer Guards at present, he has quite a lot of experience in fighting against demonic cultivators and has deliberately chosen a route where demonic cultivators are very likely to appear.
.
Two quarters of an hour ago, Yang Huai'an just stepped into Qingyang Region.
Suddenly, I felt violent Spiritual Qi fluctuations coming from the direction of Qingyang Mountain, as if a monk was stimulating the power of heaven and earth.
At that time, he was shocked. He could detect the abnormality of Spiritual Qi from a hundred miles away. Who was fighting in the direction of Qingyang Mountain?
What shocked him even more was that soon a Signal Arrow lit up in that direction.
This means that one of our own monks has encountered a demonic cultivator and is seeking help from other nearby monks.
Yang Huai'an immediately realized that the unusual Spiritual Qi fluctuation just now must have come from an extremely powerful magic cultivator.
But unlike Chang Shunping, he just frowned and immediately urged Flying Sword with all his strength to rush over.
He has the best Defensive Magic Tool by his side, and he knows that his safety is guaranteed, so he wants to help hold off the demonic cultivators and buy time for the other cultivators on his side to escape.
But what Yang Huai'an didn't expect was that when he hurried over slowly, the battle here was already over.
There were only two strange monks whom he didn't know, and they seemed to be cleaning up the scene.
This made him wonder, what was going on?
And after hearing Chang Shunping's answer, he was instantly confused. "What? That demon cultivator has been solved?"
Yang Huai'an turned his head and looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he heard.
Although he did not see White Bone Giant with his own eyes, whether it was judging from the agitation of Spiritual Qi around him or from the traces of destruction on the scene, a very powerful magic cultivator must have appeared here.
When he was on the way, he knew that this would be a fierce battle, and he was even mentally prepared to be injured.
I never expected that someone would take the first step and directly deal with the demon cultivator.
Chang Shunping stretched out his hand and pointed to the wreckage left by Cao Wunian not far away. "That's right, No, it's right there."
Yang Huai'an was swept by Divine Sense, and I was shocked again.
Judging from the Spiritual Qi that escaped from the wreckage, the other party must have been a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection during his lifetime.
And among the pile of wreckage, there was not even a single intact bone. This was clearly a symptom left by taking White Bone Gate Sacred Pill.
A Foundation Establishment Great Perfection magic cultivator who takes Sacred Pill can completely break through the limits of Foundation Establishment Cultivator in a short period of time.
Gaining unimaginable strength, a defense capability almost comparable to that of Top-Grade Magical Artifact, and a sprint speed that completely overwhelms the ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
One of the important reasons why White Bone Gate can be hostile to He Province Three Great Sects without Golden Core True Person, and can continue for so many years without being wiped out, is because it has mastered the extremely domineering Sacred Pill.
So much so that when Three Great Sects's Foundation Establishment Cultivator was encircling and suppressing White Bone Gate, they had to be extremely careful, act in teams, and not dare to disperse easily, in case the other party came to Mutual Destruction through Sacred Pill.
As a result, there was a serious shortage of manpower, and we often arrived late and were unable to gather people.
Occasionally, if it succeeds, it will encounter White Bone Giant. Often one White Bone Giant is enough to intercept seven or eight Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.
Yang Huai'an never thought that one day he would actually see someone fighting alone and defeating the White Bone Gate magic repair that took Sacred Pill.
The reason why we talk about fighting alone and directly exclude Chang Shunping is because based on past experience against White Bone Gate, monks who are less than Foundation Establishment Late Stage cannot help at all in such a battle, but will only hinder them.
"Daoist Xiao? Are you Xiao Chen?"
Yang Huai'an carefully recalled all the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator he had heard of, and immediately thought of the first place Monthly Report not long ago.
At that time, he was still curious about who this monk who suddenly appeared was, but he didn't expect to see him so soon.
"It's me."
Xiao Chen nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "I have long heard that there is a Daoist Yang named Spirit Severing Ruler in the Spirit Origin Sect, who carries him with him He carries a Jade Ruler that is two feet and two inches long. Since the beginning of this war, he has killed countless demons and is currently one of the only eight Demon Slayer Guards. I wonder if this is Daoist Yang in person?"
Yang Huai'an quickly waved his hand. "Daoist Xiao is joking, I just have a false reputation. I am not as capable as fellow Daoist White Bone Giant."
He said this sincerely, without any falsehood.
Yang Huai'an asked himself, if he met White Bone Giant alone, he would definitely be no match for him.
Being able to delay the other party's medicine until the effect of the medicine ends and barely save your own life at the cost of serious injury is already extraordinary.
Looking at Xiao Chen again, his breathing was steady and his face was rosy. It was clear at a glance that he was definitely not injured.
Even the Magic Robe on his body was not damaged at all, and it was impossible to tell that he had just experienced a battle.
Yang Huai'an felt even more ashamed when he thought of this, and then he even felt the desire to make friends in his heart.
So he took the initiative to stay and help fill in the potholes left by the fighting.
Later, he also acted as a messenger, returned to the Spirit Origin Sect, and helped contact the verification envoy to come and count the merits.
After sending Yang Huai'an and Chang Shunping away, Xiao Chen returned to the spiritual mine and refined Storage Bag left behind by Cao Wunian.
Sure enough, there was a bag full of Flame Crystal Stone inside.
But other than that, there was not even a piece of Spirit Stone, nor any debris. There were only half a bottle of leftover Grain Avoidance Pill and twenty-four bottles of Poison Smoke.
It was obvious that he had deliberately cleaned up the rest of the things before coming here, and had already made preparations not to leave any supplies behind after the battle.
"There is actually such an operation..."
Xiao Chen searched Storage Bag but couldn't find anything else, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Fortunately, I also got a Top-Grade Magical Artifact grade cane this time, which is the White Bone Staff used by Cao Wunian.
This Top-Grade Magical Artifact alone is equivalent to ten thousand Spirit Stone.
And this time, he had double merit and Points, which helped him meet the conditions for promotion to Demon Slayer Guard.
In this way, the first step plan I made on Flying Boat will be completed ahead of schedule.
After that, you can start the second step, avoid the front line, stay behind the Spirit Origin Sect, and hunt down those magic cultivators who sneak in quietly and try to cause trouble.
Originally assigned to Cyan Sun Spirit Mine, I thought it would take some time.
Now it seems that there is no need to participate in the second round of rotation tasks.
"But this time it went so smoothly thanks to <Golden Light Shrinking Earth>."
Xiao Chen took a short rest and took out Purple Gold Spirit Sand from Storage Bag.
He once again tasted the advantages of escape, so he planned to focus on the escape in the period before becoming Demon Slayer Guard.
The last time I got one catty and six taels Purple Gold Spirit Sand, now I still have a full one catty and four taels.
If you double use it at any cost, there is a very good chance that <Golden Light Shrinking Earth> will be directly promoted to the Great Accomplishment Realm.
Since these Spiritual Sands cost nothing to begin with, Xiao Chens don't cost any money to use.
.
"What? That demon cultivator has been dealt with?"
Spirit Origin Sect, Sect Master Gong Lingfeng directly exclaimed.
He looked at Yang Huai'an steadily, and his strange reaction even aroused doubts among the other Elder around him - what's going on?
Although the other Elder were also a little shocked, they were mainly focused on how fast Xiao Chen was.
Just one day after Bounty Order was released, the magic cultivator who snatched Flame Crystal Stone was found and successfully stopped him.
But is this surprising?
Why does Sect Master Brother feel a little out of sorts?
Yang Huai'an was also stunned on the spot. He didn't understand why he had just started talking and hadn't said the most important thing yet. Sect Master already had this reaction.
None of them knew that in the past two days, Gong Lingfeng had been suffering mentally.
He clearly knew that something was going to happen to Cyan Sun County, but he couldn't say it or send someone to stop it in advance.
Although he didn't show any abnormality on the surface, he could not help but feel sad and angry inside.
Unlike other monks, Gong Lingfeng is not the most outstanding disciple among contemporary disciples.
On the contrary, because he was seriously injured in a fight with a demon cultivator when he was young, he was the first among his disciples to have no hope of forming an elixir.
After a period of decadence, he devoted all his energy to the construction of the sect.
Spirit Origin Sect clearly remembered every place under his rule, and he personally visited every city more than once.
Therefore, Gong Lingfeng has been extremely painful these two days.
Now that he suddenly heard the good news of Yang Huai'an, he instantly felt a surge of joy in his heart.
The whole person breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
Great, Cyan Sun County is fine!
But then, after being happy, Gong Lingfeng finally reacted. "Wait a minute, you said that the demon cultivator has been solved?"
He quickly asked, "What on earth is going on? Who took action to solve the demon cultivator?"
Yang Huai'an immediately told what he saw and heard, and emphasized that the other party also took White Bone Gate Sacred Pill.
After he finished speaking, several Spirit Origin Sect and Elder around him looked at each other in confusion.
They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
No, are you kidding me?
They have all participated in the encirclement and suppression of the White Bone Gate demon cultivator, and many of them have even personally fought against White Bone Giant who took Sacred Pill.
Because of this, they have a deeper understanding of how unreasonable White Bone Gate and Sacred Pill are.
In just a quarter of an hour, burn all the monk's Essence Blood, Lifespan, cultivation and all other payable prices in exchange for ultimate power.
Spirit Origin Sect's countless painful lessons in the past have proven that absolutely no Foundation Establishment Cultivator can fight against White Bone Giant alone.
This has almost become common sense.
But now, Xiao Chen from Li Province actually breaks this "common sense".
How could this not shock them?
Grand Elder Yao Dehai was immediately stunned. If Yang Huai'an hadn't said it himself, he would never have believed such outrageous things.
The first time he saw the name Xiao Chen was in a letter from the Chen Family.
In the letter, Chen Tianyuan specifically asked him to help take care of Chen Zhi'an, Chen Zhiquan and Xiao Chen.
Especially Xiao Chen, this is an alchemy genius.
Therefore, special protection is needed and they should not be placed in too dangerous places.
Yao Dehai sat aside and pondered for a long time without thinking clearly. Since Xiao Chen has such strong strength, is it really necessary to say hello in advance?
Last time Monthly Report ranked first, which shocked him greatly.
As a result, someone came to tell him now that Xiao Chen's true strength was not fully demonstrated last time.
Is this really the level a Alchemist should be?
Fortunately, he did not forget to speak for this half of his own people, "Brothers, this time Flame Crystal Stone was robbed and successfully resolved. Xiao Chen has made a great contribution."
"I came from Li Province. According to the default rules, everything I get after killing the demon cultivator is my own trophy."
"If we send someone to recover Flame Crystal Stone later, in my opinion we should make some compensation to him."
After Yao Dehai finished speaking, he did not forget to give Elder Qiu a wink.
Generally, other Elder would speak out against this kind of proposal in order to save sect resources.
Especially Sect Master Gong Lingfeng, has recently been cutting down on various expenses and hoarding resources for the war.
But it doesn't matter, at this time he just opened his mouth to help Xiao Chen obtain resources.
When the news spreads, it can be regarded as a kind of closeness and goodwill.
But what Yao Dehai didn't expect was that before Elder Qiu could help, Gong Lingfeng nodded first. "Yes, we should compensate him some Spirit Stone."
"This time Flame Crystal Stone was recovered in time, which probably prevented a tragedy."
"In my opinion, double the recycling price can be given."
?
Gong Lingfeng's statement cannot be corrected directly by Yao Dehai. What do you mean?
Not only him, but several other Elder also realized something was wrong.
Could it be that this Xiao Chen is also related to Sect Master Brother?
Gong Lingfeng ignored this, looked around and made a final decision. "Since no one objects, then this matter is settled."
Then he got up and went to the back hall and reported the news to Thunder Sound True Person.
"What? That demon cultivator has been dealt with?"
Thunder Sound True Person couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. "What's going on? Please tell me carefully?"
Master Gongliang gave a total of two divination results. In order not to cause any impact, he specifically ordered not to change the first result.
Gong Lingfeng has always been reliable in doing things and will never make arbitrary claims.
But the problem now is that the first result has still been changed.
In this case, is the second result still unreliable?
After listening carefully to Gong Lingfeng's story, Thunder Sound True Person's brows furrowed even more.
Judging from the current information, the development process of the matter is completely different from the divination, which shows that new variables have emerged.
Could it be that this monk named Xiao Chen is the variable in this Demonic Calamity?
"Bring me the information about Xiao Chen."
Gong Lingfeng soon sent a jade plate, which was almost consistent with the Li Fire Sect's description of Xiao Chen.
It also comes with an additional record of battles fought in public.
Thunder Sound True Person tapped his finger on the armrest of the seat, and he saw the words "Low-Grade Wood Spiritual Root" at a glance.
Although Xiao Chen has risen very quickly, there are bound to be adventures along the way.
But just based on this Spirit Root, he will not be the variable that can affect this Demonic Calamity.
Only Golden Core can fight against Golden Core.
Only Golden Core can truly affect the subsequent trend of this Demonic Calamity.
And a monk who Low-Grade Wood Spiritual Root collects a large number of spiritual objects and practices with the help of spiritual objects will definitely not become Golden Core.
There must be other reasons that led to the current result.
