On the night of the bloody murder in the City Lord's Mansion, a short but rapid heavy rain came without warning, washing away all the evidence of the crime.

The next day, the news of the "death" of the city lord Tian Yan came out, and with the intervention of the three major cultivator families, Wanqiu City quickly returned to its former calm after the initial commotion.

At noon, there was a crowd of people outside the city lord's mansion, and Tian Sheng, who temporarily took the position of the city lord, was standing on the high platform to make a speech.

"Fathers and elders of Wanqiu City, I, Tian Sheng, promise you that Wanqiu City will always be stable and prosperous in the future......"

"Cut, hypocrite. In the crowd, Lu Ping'an pursed his lips disdainfully and scolded secretly in his heart.

At this time, Tian Sheng was standing no more than twenty zhang away from him, and he only needed to use two percent of his strength to smash Tian Sheng's head with a shake of his head.

However, Lu Ping'an knew very well that when Tian He's whereabouts were unknown, Tian Sheng dared to show his face outside, which showed that he must have something to rely on. If you do it yourself at this time, you will only fall into the net.

After finding out the situation in the city, Lu Ping'an did not stay for a long time, and left Wanqiu City among the people who came and went......

The entrance of Beidi Village.

"Tian Guard, although Brother Tian is not a reckless person, but the revenge of killing his father is not shared, you must remember to watch him. ”

Lu Ping'an didn't disturb Tian He, who had just fallen asleep, but informed Tian Xiao of the situation in the city, and told him again and again when he left.

"Don't worry, I swear I will protect the young master. Tian Biao said solemnly, "By the way, Master Lu, this is for you." ”

Tian Xiao said, handing the wind and thunder sword to Lu Ping'an.

"Tian Guard, this can't be helped. Lu Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand and refused, "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, let alone a sword in the hand of a swordsman." ”

"Lu Gongzi, you must take it!" Tian Xiao raised his voice and insisted, "Since I saw Lu Gongzi's swordsmanship last night, I have realized that I am not worthy of using this Wind and Thunder Sword! Only in your hands can it exert its power." ”

Nowadays, Lu Ping'an is the only reliance between him and the young master, as the saying goes, "brothers settle accounts", no matter what Lu Ping'an thinks, they can't take each other's help for granted.

At this time, Tian Biao could only take out this wind and thunder sword to thank Lu Ping'an for saving him.

"This ...... All right. Lu Ping'an is not a hypocritical person, he groaned slightly, generously took the heavy sword from Tian Xiao's hand, hugged his fist and said, "Thank you Tian Guard for giving the sword." ”

Although he had never beaten the idea of the Wind Thunder Sword in Tian Xiao's hand, Lu Ping'an was still very happy to get a rare Xuan-level magic weapon.

With the assistance of the Wind Thunder Sword, if he faced Chen Hao again at this time, he would definitely not be powerless to fight back.

Bidding farewell to Tian Piao, Lu Ping'an traveled all the way north, preparing to enter Daxu Mountain again and find a secluded place to refine the spirit stones that had been paid.

In last night's fierce battle, Lu Ping'an used the Golden Light Mantra with the Wind Thunder Sword, which made him realize that he might have touched the threshold of the eightfold martial arts realm.

The opportunity to break through the realm is fleeting, and he must refine the spirit stone and spirit core as soon as possible to fill the sea of qi.

Because he started from Beidi Village, Lu Ping'an's route into the mountain this time was different from the past.

For some reason, on this route, the spirit beasts along the way are very rare, and they are all middle and low-grade mortals, and they have no hunting value at all.

However, this is in line with Lu Ping'an's intentions, and he can just find a place around here to refine spirit stones.

Eventually, Lu Ping'an stopped in front of a waterfall.

"Yes, this is it. ”

Lu Ping'an whispered to himself as he jumped off the waterfall and came to sit cross-legged in the center of the waterhole formed by the impact below.

The sound of falling water in the waterfall can eliminate the interference of complex noises in the environment, and the water rushing down from a high place can also be used to exercise muscles and bones, and it has been an excellent place for cultivators to cultivate throughout the ages.

"Confirm the devouring, start assisting. ”

Lu Ping'an took out a yellow-level lower grade spirit stone from the space storage bag and put it in the palm of his hand, and at the same time turned on the devouring system to assist.

Although with his current cultivation, refining a yellow-rank lower-grade spirit stone is effortless, the devouring system can not only assist the host and refine higher-level spirit stones and spirit cores, but also improve the conversion utilization rate of spiritual energy when refining and absorbing.

The amount of spiritual energy he could obtain by refining two spirit stones was equivalent to the amount of other people's refining of three, or even more.

This advantage, coupled with the super high comprehension given by the Xuan-level high-grade bloodline, it is not surprising that Lu Ping'an was able to advance so quickly.

......

"If the devouring is successful, the aura value will increase by 125 points, and the qi sea filling: 92%. ”

With the assistance of the devouring system, in less than an hour, Lu Ping'an had finished refining all the spirit stones in the storage bag.

At this time, as the sun is obscured by clouds and the temperature in the valley drops, the waterfall is already covered in a thick fog.

"It's still eight percent off...... Refining three or five more yellow-rank spirit beast cores should be enough. Lu Ping'an secretly calculated.

Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ......

Lu Ping'an was about to set off for the depths of Daxu Mountain, when a strange copper bell suddenly came into his ears.

Although the bell is not loud, it is very penetrating, and it is still very clear under the interference of the sound of the waterfall falling water.

"Not good, someone. ”

Seeing a figure looming in the thick fog, Lu Ping'an hurriedly hid behind a boulder protruding from the water next to him.

Dare to enter Daxu Mountain, where spirit beasts are rampant, naturally he will not be an ordinary person, Lu Ping'an does not want to meet other cultivators in this barren mountain wilderness.

"Sister Huang, where are you going to take me?"

"Little sister, how many times have I said it, I don't have the surname Huang, and I'm not your relative. ”

......

It didn't take long for Lu Ping'an to see two girls, one big and one small, coming out of the thick fog on the shore.

Among them, the older girl was dressed modestly, using a tree branch as a crutch, and walked through the rushing water with difficulty, slowly approaching the waterfall.

In stark contrast to her is another younger girl, who can not only walk on the water, but also dress like she is from an ordinary family.

The strange copper bell that Lu Ping'an heard just now was from her body.

"This is where I live, you go inside to rest and hurry up, this Daxu Mountain is not a place where you should come as a little girl. ”

The older girl said as she stabbed a twig against the uncovered rock wall on the side of the waterfall.

Immediately after, a magical scene appeared.

Lu Ping'an first heard a sound of machine running from the rock wall, and then, the waterfall with a height of five or six zhang actually separated from the middle to the left and right sides.

By the time he came to his senses, the two girls had already run into a cave hidden behind a waterfall.

Crash!

As the internal mechanism was triggered, the separated water curtain closed again, and the inside could not be seen from the outside.

"It's strange that there are still ordinary people living in Daxu Mountain?"

Lu Ping'an stood up from behind the boulder, scratched his hair, and muttered to himself in surprise.

He could see very clearly just now that the girl in simple clothes would not be able to walk on the water, which meant that she was not a cultivator.

A powerless girl actually ran to live in Daxu Mountain, which is full of monsters, which is no different from suicide.
