Chapter 17: Chance Encounters

Leaving the Jade Lake Medicine Garden, Li Muchen did not immediately rush to the next resource point, but drove the Qingyu Flying Boat around the central area of the Jade Lake.

The waters of Jade Lake, dominated by Jade Lake, contain three large rivers and countless tributaries, among which there are many swamps and islands, covering an area of more than one million acres, and the cultivation resources are relatively rich.

In the vicinity of Yuhu, there is a mortal kingdom with a population of more than five million, among which the royal family is the descendant of a certain Yuanying Great Power of the Changqing Sect, but it is only a branch line, and there have been several geniuses who have entered the inner gate of the Changqing Sect.

Li Muchen doesn't like those red tapes, and the Yuhu royal family is only the agent of the Changqing Sect in the mortal world, unless there is a demon cultivator who massacres mortals, the rest of the affairs do not have to worry about the Changqing Sect, and there is no need to go to show up, so Li Muchen does not plan to go there to ask for trouble for the time being.

However, in the future, when cultivating the secret method, it is inevitable that you will have to go over there.

In the center of the waters of the Jade Lake is the territory of the Changqing Sect, guarded by a large array, and there are not many cultivators, but there are many cultivators looking for opportunities in the area on the edge of the Jade Lake. The flying boat swept high over the waters, and the Qi Refining Period monks below basically couldn't find it, and occasionally there were Qi Refining Stage monks with sensitive spiritual sense who found the spiritual power fluctuations above, and they also understood that it was the predecessors of the Foundation Building Period who passed by, so they naturally didn't dare to make a mistake.

Among these Qi Refining Stage cultivators, there were outer disciples of the Changqing Sect who were on a mission in the Yuhu District, but most of them were disciples of those affiliated forces, looking for elixirs here, or hunting some low-level demon beasts on the periphery. There is a huge Jade Lake water, and although most of the resources are demarcated by the Changqing Sect, the remaining part of this is also enough to feed many small cultivator forces.

Standing on the deck of the flying boat, observing the scene below, Li Muchen calculated the number of cultivators he met along the way, he flew more than a thousand miles, and the cultivators he encountered were only dozens, among which there were very few outer disciples of the Changqing Sect, it seemed that there were not many outer disciples who chose to perform tasks in the Yuhu District.

There is a certain indicator of the number of tasks performed in each area, not to mention anything else, if there are a large number of outer disciples in a certain area to perform tasks, then the allocation of past spirit stone resources will definitely increase, and the ranking of the twelve regions is basically based on the turnover rate of the task.

Weighing in his heart, the flying boat under the seat did not stop moving forward, and soon left the Jade Lake, and flew along a tributary to the outer edge of the waters of the Jade Lake.

Although he was distracted and thinking about the problem, Li Muchen did not run around at will, along this tributary, there should be a bamboo forest, among which there is a Zhuxi faction, and there are three monks in the foundation building period in the gate, which belong to the upstream level among the subsidiary forces in the Yuhu District, and have always been relatively honest, relying on a spiritual bamboo forest, two small spiritual stone mines and this tributary to survive, and rarely conflict with other forces. This kind of honest sect is very much in line with the needs of the Foreign Affairs Hall, so the first sect in Li Muchen's inspection plan is the Zhuxi faction.

Along the way, this tributary is blocked by the mountain range, winds its way through a group of small hills, spreads out, and gradually evolves into a stream, which, because of the many bamboo forests along the stream, is called Bamboo Creek.

Qi refining period cultivators are inevitably able to follow the stream and twist and turn, while the foundation building period cultivators can choose the shortest path and go directly to the Zhuxi Sect when they fly with their imperial weapons.

Thinking of the Zhuxi faction in front of him, Li Muchen retracted his thoughts, and at this moment, a loud noise caught his attention.

"This old guy has finally taken the bait!"

On the ground, on the edge of the swamp, Zhang Wentao looked at the demon beast that was dragged ashore and thought excitedly.

Since learning about the whereabouts of the mire turtle in this swamp, Zhang Wentao laid out for many days, refining bait according to the secret method, then laying down the mechanism, and squatting for a long time, before he successfully got the mire turtle ashore.

"This quagmire turtle is definitely more than a hundred years old, and when the blood of the hundred-year spirit turtle is in hand, it will be able to cultivate the exercises to the next level!"

Rubbing his hands excitedly, Zhang Wentao was full of confidence. The mire turtle is almost invincible in the swamp, with the help of the countless mud in the swamp and the terrifying suction of the swamp, it is difficult to deal with, and it itself has the ability to hide, and in the swamp, which is an easy place to hide, once you feel the danger and hide, it is difficult for a cultivator in the Qi refining period to find, this time Zhang Wentao first used boulders to form a cage at the edge of the swamp, and with the help of the combination of formation and mechanism, when the mire turtle swallowed the bait, it was ejected from the mire and fell into the cage.

Now, with a boulder in the way, the mire turtle can't escape back to the mire for the time being, and without the swamp, the mire turtle with weak attack power is completely no threat, and the only problem in front of him is to break the mire turtle's shell!

Looking at the mire turtle that was pushing the boulder and trying to escape back into the swamp, Zhang Wentao smiled slightly, took out a conical weapon from the storage bag, and at the same time used the vine armor technique to protect himself, and held a vajra talisman in his hand, slowly approaching the mire turtle.

Even if the situation is favorable, Zhang Wentao is still very cautious, this time, at a huge cost, he did not hesitate to borrow a large amount of spirit stones to seek a breakthrough opportunity, now, there is only one last mire turtle left, how can he not act cautiously?

If you make a mistake this time, then you can only sell yourself as a slave and pay off the debt!

Sensing the threat, the mud on the mire turtle's body condensed to form a thin shield, which is its natural spell, the turtle demon beast has always been strong in defense, if the mire turtle is in the swamp, with the help of countless mud, this layer of defense is definitely not something that the disciples in the qi refining period can shake, if you want to rely on the power of the magic weapon, then you must be careful that the magic weapon is sucked into the mire and trapped!

"Hey, they're all ashore, don't think about going back!"

Zhang Wentao said with a smile, there are huge boulders blocking the way, and the turtle monsters are already moving slowly, so it's strange that they can escape!

The mire turtle that was pushing the boulder, when Zhang Wentao approached, suddenly turned around, and a stream of mud rushed over at great speed, far more powerful than a crossbow!

Most people only see the defense of the turtle monster and ignore its attack, in fact, without its powerful attack power, how could the mire turtle occupy this swamp for so long?

It's a pity that Zhang Wentao has already taken precautions and is very well prepared, and the vajra talisman in his hand has not yet been launched, so he first cast a water shield, and then urged the rattan armor on his body, and at the same time dodged a part of the mud sideways, and easily dodged this attack.

After a single blow, the mire turtle instantly retracted its head, perfectly performing what is called a shrunken turtle.

"If I hadn't gotten this spiritual artifact fragment, I really couldn't do anything about you, count you unlucky and met me!"

Zhang Wentao thought in his heart, the weapon in his hand was raised, this was not a magic weapon, but a set of magic weapons, and the most important part of it was a drill used as a fragment of a spiritual weapon!

The material quality of the spirit weapon far exceeded that of the magic weapon, and this spirit weapon fragment seemed to be originally a spear tip, which was more than enough to use as a drill to deal with a second-order demon beast.

did not take the liberty of approaching, first harnessed the magic weapon to attack the mire turtle a few times, so that it relaxed its vigilance, and then, a wind talisman was attached to his body, stimulating, Zhang Wentao's body was like a light wind, quickly approaching the mire turtle, and the drill-type mechanism weapon in his hand was launched, stabbing the gap in the mire turtle's shell!

With a hiss, the mire turtle sensed the crisis and moved wildly, but Zhang Wentao was on its back, making it unable to attack, if it was in the swamp, it could naturally fight back, but now away from the swamp, it was difficult to attack, so it could only try to protect its head and limbs, relying on a hard shell to defend. Occasionally, a water bullet and earth thorn were issued, but Zhang Wentao could not be injured.

After a while, the drill bit broke through the hard shell of the mire turtle, and the mire turtle was no longer able to struggle.
