A little earlier, Yue Wen was walking home alone.
Yujian flew to the north side of Vermilion Bird Peak very quickly, but it still took a little more time to cross the mountains on foot. Fortunately, with Brass Small Sword in the palm of his hand, the golden ripples that were rippling at all times blocked all evil spirits.
Although Yue Wen also wants to harvest some more Demon Suppressing Coin, the evil spirits here are too strong and he has been fighting for a long time, so it is more important to go back safely.
He also thought about whether he could go to fight with the evil spirit first, and if he couldn't beat him, he would take out Brass Small Sword to force the opponent back... Later, he still felt that the risk of this operation was too great. What if he was instantly killed by the evil spirit and didn't have time to take out Brass Small Sword?
Or if you encounter something as evil as Shadow Nightmare, you will be hard-pressed to guard against it.
In the previous happy trip of spawning monsters, he had already accumulated enough Demon Suppressing Coin, and there was no need to take unnecessary risks. One of the important reasons why Lingbo Swallow Flock was so enraged was that he killed too many people.
Now Yue Wen and Demon Suppressing Coin have reached an unprecedented number of 640!
Even if you spend 499 to buy Dragon Snake Evasion Method, you will still have more than 100 left, which is enough to buy some ordinary magical powers.
With Brass Small Sword's body protection, Yue Wen dares to travel overnight. If he speeds up, he might be able to catch up with the team.
The rest of the team will probably choose to rest where they are and return when it gets light. After all, for normal people, Wasteland Zone is far more dangerous at night than during the day.
While crossing another river, Yue Wen discovered something strange under the trees ahead...
There seem to be two bodies there?
Under the dark trees, two lifeless human bodies overlapped, as if they had been thrown there casually. On their exposed wrists, they were wearing the bracelet that represented their identity.
To be on the safe side, Yue Wen also flew the shadow talisman and pricked it to confirm that there was no reaction from the other party. After carefully observing the surroundings, he stepped forward to check.
When he opened it, he saw that they were indeed two corpses. Their appearance was indistinguishable, because their whole bodies had shriveled up and turned into two wrinkled masses, as if something had sucked all the blood out of them! A pair of bloodless gray-white eyes were bulging and cracked, full of fear.
In the dark night, it is eerie and terrifying.
Yue Wen couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
It was not that he was frightened by the tragic sight of the corpse, but that he saw a very small palm print on the forehead of a corpse. The palm print was deeply sunken and penetrated the Tianling. It should be a fatal wound... it was as small as a baby's hand.
A baby with great power?
Yue Wen recalled for no reason the Spirit Infant he had seen in the stone wall before. It was said to be a life-saving magical power performed by an evil cultivator. He disappeared after waking up...
Looking at another corpse, there are also such baby handprints on the forehead, and it can be seen without careful comparison that the baby's handprints on the other forehead are larger and the wounds are deeper.
Could it be that after he absorbed the blood essence of the first person, his size and strength increased?
Yue Wen couldn't help but feel a chill running down my spine. So, does this thing become stronger by killing cultivators and absorbing blood essence?
This is more direct than killing evil spirits yourself.
I have to exchange it for Demon Suppressing Coin and buy a magic weapon, but he can just suck it?
In addition to the clothes and bracelets of the two corpses, all other belongings and Storage Magic Artifact and other things were taken away, so it seems that the perpetrators cannot be evil.
Yue Wen took photos of the wounds of the two corpses, buried them on the spot, and left with their bracelets.
Although he has never experienced it, he also knows that this is the process for encountering victims in Wasteland Zone. Burying their bodies to prevent them from being harmed by evil spirits again, and wearing the bracelet back can notify their families of the death.
If their family members want to come and take back the bones, there is also a specific location.
As for taking pictures, he wanted to go back and send them to Wang Shoucai to see what exactly was causing the murder. Although Human Races within Wasteland Zone would also kill each other, if there were evil cultivators who specifically hunted down practitioners, then Supervision Bureau would still have to deal with it, and at least a notice would have to be sent to remind people who had recently gone to Wasteland Zone to pay attention.
After doing these things, Yue Wen will continue to move forward.
Just after crossing the direction of Autumn Cloud Lake, he put away Brass Small Sword.
What he had just seen made him realize that in addition to evil spirits, there were other dangers in Wasteland Zone. Although Brass Small Sword was powerful, the golden ripples it emitted were also very obvious. If he met other practitioners, it might arouse the covetousness of others.
After passing Autumn Cloud Lake, the rest of the road has been covered, and he can return by his own strength.
It's just that the sky has been getting brighter for a while now. It's estimated that Luo Bawen and the others have already set off for the return journey, so I won't be able to catch up. But at my own speed, I won't be much slower than them.
It was a smooth journey back to Jiang City, and I handed over the two bracelets I picked up at the checkpoint. Once I entered the checkpoint, there was no such strong evil atmosphere around, and Brass Small Sword stopped making noises, and lay quietly in Storage Magic Artifact.
It seems that this sword also discriminates against evil spirits.
When Yue Wen was preparing to go home, he received a message from Qi Dian.
Seeing that they all said that they were dead, Yue Wen also wanted Qi Dian to help explain.
But when I saw that they had given away a lot of Spiritual Plant and property, my typing hand slowly stopped... and I replaced it with three other words, which I kept for now.
Sorry, everyone.
The office has been having a hard time recently, and I'm afraid of poverty.
When Yue Wen returned to the office, he scanned it with Spiritual Sense first, fearing that his teammates who came to mourn him would not leave. After feeling that only Qi Dian was in the hall, he opened the door and walked in.
Qi Dian was eating a takeaway rice bowl, drinking the sweet water provided by the meal, eating the leftover pickles from breakfast, playing a variety show on his phone, and enjoying his dinner time.
Knowing that the boss was not really dead, he relaxed, sent a few people in the team away, and had a peaceful meal here.
Yue Wen looked at him like this and felt a little emotional, the environment really affects people.
Qi Dian, a second-generation rich man, a disciple of Immortal Gate, an ambitious young man with ideals, has only been here for three days, and he has become just like Xing'er. Think about it carefully, Xing'er comes from a higher family, a child of a noble family, Innate Immortal Body...
Wait.
Yue Wen thought about it and found that he was really the only one in the office who was an ordinary orphan. Even the dog was Ancient Remnant Species. As soon as his thoughts changed, Qi Dian also saw him.
"Brother Yue!" He carefully fastened the lid of the rice bowl, then stood up and said excitedly, "It's great that you're okay." "Thanks to everyone, you're back safely." Yue Wen said with a smile, "Where are the things they sent?"
"Snow lotus needs to be stored at low temperature. I put it in the refrigerator. The bank card is here." Qi Dian put the card on the table. "The guy named Xiao said that including the deposit you returned and a little bit of their kindness, it adds up to one million, and the password is six zeros."
"Finally I can pay off all my debts." Yue Wen said happily.
He opened the bottom of the refrigerator and was a little surprised to see four Cloud Wave Snow Lotus flowers arranged neatly.
Is this a bit too much?
Although he took Lingbo Swallow Flock to fly deep into Wasteland Zone in order not to drag them down, but the hatred of Yan Qun was also caused by him because of Demon Suppressing Coin. After all, it was all his own fault.
There's no need for teammates to do this, right?
Did they understand something wrong?
Yue Wen had learned before this trip that the market recycling price of a snow lotus is 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. When Wasteland Zone went to pick snow lotuses, he basically counted a loss if he picked one and a profit if he picked two. This time, there were five of them... which was worth close to 4 million.
"Shall we accept all these things?" Qi Dian said hesitantly, "Isn't it bad?"
"It's really not good." Yue Wen nodded.
If they send one or two Cloud Wave Snow Lotus, Yue Wen, they may accept them without conscience. But if each person gives one to himself, then his harvest will be the biggest among the five people.
Plus the cash on the card...
It was enough to make his conscience feel guilty.
"I will contact them in the group later and tell them that I am not dead." Yue Wen thought, "I will accept the cash in the card, and I will return the four Cloud Wave Snow Lotus to them."
In total, my income from this trip is one Cloud Wave Snow Lotus and 700,000. The most important ones are several hundred Demon Suppressing Coin and that powerful little sword.
It can be considered a lot of money.
Just as I made my plan, I heard the door to the utility room open with a bang!
A burst of red light spread out, and then dissipated after a moment. The figure of Zhao Xing'er walked out of it, and announced with his head held high, "I have broken through to the late stage of the Unity Realm."
"Ah?" Qi Dian was shocked.
Yue Wen has said that Zhao Xing'er rarely practices. The most he does is do two sets of boxing in the morning to wake him up.
As for my diligent practice every day, I am still stuck at the early stage of the Unity Realm, and I have never made a breakthrough.
Why is she in the late stage?
Is this reasonable?
Yue Wen was also a little surprised, "Have you awakened some system that makes you stronger by swearing?"
"Huh." Zhao Xing'er shook his head, "You still know nothing about the immortal body."
"Martial Spirit Red Light can gain experience and cultivation from fighting. As long as I fight enough, I can become stronger. My growth was slow before, probably because there were too few fights. Since Big White came, I have to beat it more than ten times a day. Every time I beat it, I can improve my dog-fighting skills and my cultivation level will be improved. With such a sparring partner, I can break through the bottleneck in a short time."
Lowering her head, she looked at the big dog circling at her feet and said with a smile, "Thank you, Big White."
A gold medal punching bag that can be hit no matter how hard it is, is indeed the perfect sparring partner for Martial Spirit Red Light.
"Is this okay?" Qi Dian felt deeply outrageous.
If I can achieve breakthrough by beating the dog a few times at home every day, then what are the countless days and nights I spent practicing hard?
Do you think I have love?
Yue Wen suddenly frowned and said, "Then when you reach the later stage, do you also need to prepare Refining Gang materials? In this way, when you reach Unity Realm perfection, you can start Refining Gang directly without wasting extra time."
"Yes, I still want to tell you about this." Zhao Xing'er chuckled, "Gang Realm Cultivation Method I do have it, but Refining Gang I may need to borrow some money from you for the materials..."
"How much do you want to borrow?" Qi Dian asked.
Zhao Xing'er stretched out four fingers and said, "About four million."
This Yue Wen is not unexpected. If I hadn't taken advantage of it when I was gathering Refining Gang materials, I might not have been able to stop spending five million. The family inheritance of Zhao Xing'er's cultivation, even if it is not a top-notch Cultivation Method like <True Dragon Dao Method>, it must be the first-class in the human world. It is normal for Refining Gang to need this expense.
But the problem is that there is no money.
Yue Wen and Qi Dian looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on Cloud Wave Snow Lotus in the refrigerator.
"Brother Yue, then..." Qi Dian asked weakly, "Do you want to accept it or not?"
