Fire a Shot First

Qingxu entered the territory of One-Guard Monastery and soon encountered his fellow disciples who were out searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

However, that fellow disciple only glanced at Qingxu before turning his head away.

"What are you doing?" Qingxu asked.

Normally, he would never ask.

However, feeling a little guilty, he asked a question.

However, his fellow disciple was indifferent. "We can't just laze around like our senior brother, searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures!"

Qingxu paused briefly before continuing into Thousand Mechanism Lake.

Upon arriving at Thousand Mechanism Lake, the number of disciples from One-Guard Monastery increased significantly, and the lake surface was filled with Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Realm flying around, searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

If we had to divide the Prodigy Battlefield into sections, this would be the first half of the Prodigy Battlefield, where everyone is busy searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, accumulating resources, refining Law Treasure and elixirs, and improving their strength.

The second half is about vying for Fortune and for the marks.

Perhaps only Zhang Yang would do both things at the same time from the very beginning.

Although the people at One-Guard Monastery saw Qingxu return, they didn't take it seriously.

Anyway, he's an annoying person. Although he'll help you occasionally when you need something, you can just put up with a few sarcastic remarks.

Having just received such warm treatment from Zhang Yang, Qingxu felt a pang of sadness when he saw the indifference of his fellow disciples.

This isn't how you usually beg me!

Even though I made some sarcastic remarks, didn't I also help you solve your problems?

He silently flew back to the central island, the largest island in the entire Thousand Mechanism Lake.

This place is the true stronghold of One-Guard Monastery Temple in Thousand Mechanism Lake, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zixu, dressed in a purple Daoist robe, was a female Daoist.

Although her figure was covered by a Daoist robe, her curves were still incredibly alluring.

Seeing Qingxu return, Zixu smiled and said, "Junior brother, you're back just in time. Help me see what kind of Law Treasure we can refine from these materials! This is your specialty, so get busy! It won't be long before we go to war."

"Oh!" Qingxu looked at those rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, his heart filled with excitement.

The materials he needs to refine Law Treasure are all here!

Without saying much to Zixu, he began to pick and choose.

Zixu smiled at Qingxu, not Qingxu it to heart, and went about her own business.

These top geniuses were among the few who wouldn't be mocked by Qingxu, and their relationship with Qingxu could only be described as good.

However, Qingxu had a terrible reputation among his fellow disciples, and they didn't want to go out of their way to befriend Qingxu.

A genius who specializes in weapon crafting should just focus on crafting weapons!

This time, the weapon refiners from One-Guard Monastery who entered the Prodigy Battlefield were not only Qingxu, but actually five others.

With so many fellow disciples, how long would it take to refine it if Qingxu were to do it all by himself?

The other five weapon refiners were also selecting materials to refine Law Treasure.

Their achievements are embodied here.

"Don't touch that material, I need it!" Qingxu said, pointing to a material in the hand of a weapon refiner.

The weapon refiner frowned. "This Flame Crystal is an excellent material for refining Fire Element Law Treasure. I don't think the materials you have in your hand are for refining Fire Element Law Treasure, are they?"

Qingxu smiled arrogantly, "Are you trying to compete with me in weapon crafting? Or do you want to teach me the basics of weapon crafting? You only see that the Flame Crystal doesn't match the materials I have. How do you know that these materials belong to the Five Elements and can interact with each other? No wonder you've cultivated for so many years and your weapon crafting skills are still so poor!"

The weapon refiner was furious at being rebuffed. He knew the refiner was highly skilled, but that didn't mean the refiner could be so rude.

"Give me the Flame Crystal!" Qingxu stretched out his hand, looking at the weapon refiner without any politeness.

The weapon refiner endured it for a long time, but finally threw the Flame Crystal to Qingxu and stormed off.

The other disciples nearby saw Qingxu shake his head.

This is why Qingxu has been hated for so many years!

After obtaining the Flame Crystal, Qingxu selected some other materials, returned to his place, and began refining weapons.

He was quite intelligent, and he knew that leaving with these high-level materials at this time was definitely not a good idea.

Therefore, he needs to craft several Law Treasure for the others before he can leave.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang waited silently.

He told Situ Mingyue and the Tiger Demon not to make any trouble, and he patrolled the area every day, fearing that other problems might arise.

This is the border between the Cloud Firmament Palace and One-Guard Monastery. If he is discovered, he will be in big trouble.

It would be even more troublesome if the Cloud Firmament Palace discovered it.

Days passed by, and six days had gone by. Situ Mingyue shook her head and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, why don't we leave? This place is very dangerous; it's best to stay away from their major sect."

Zhang Yang frowned. He didn't know whether Qingxu had encountered some other situation or if Qingxu had tricked him.

"There's still one day left, we have to wait a little longer!" Zhang Yang said slowly. "Even if we're going to leave, we have to wait until after tomorrow. Since I promised to wait for him for seven days, I must find a way to wait for him for seven days!"

The next day was the time agreed upon with Qingxu.

Zhang Yang, along with Situ Mingyue and the Tiger Demon, once again entered the territory of One-Guard Monastery.

These past few days, Zhang Yang hasn't been wandering around aimlessly; he's already chosen his retreat route. This way, he can retreat in time should any problems arise.

"You two stay here. If anything happens, retreat towards the Cloud Firmament Palace!" Zhang Yang instructed Situ Mingyue and the Tiger Demon.

Then, he chose a spot nearby with a good view and used his scope to look towards Thousand Mechanism Lake.

From dawn till dusk, Zhang Yang's brows furrowed more and more, and he felt somewhat helpless.

Looks like we've been fooled by that kid Qingxu!

He was speechless.

As dusk approached, he prepared to retreat; it seemed Qingxu wouldn't be coming.

Just as he was about to retreat, he noticed a figure in the scope.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Qingxu!

But there was someone by Qingxu's side!

Zhang Yang hurriedly raised his scope and looked at the distant area behind Qingxu, as well as to his left and right.

After searching for a long time, they found that Qingxu was accompanied by only one person, and that person was a female Daoist!

Zhang Yang fell into deep thought. What had happened?

He pondered for a long time. Qingxu and the female Daoist had already entered the firing range, and were only seven or eight hundred meters away from the mountain.

Zhang Yang instantly raised his Barrett, aimed at the female Daoist priest, and activated the runes.

A bullet was fired at the female Daoist priest.

At this moment, he didn't care how beautiful the female Daoist was, nor what her relationship with Qingxu was; he just wanted to have sex with her first!
