Chapter 16: The Four
"Brother Lu, you are here."
Guan Xu saw Lu Yu coming at the door, and his face was happy.
"Are the other two coming?" Lu Yu nodded and asked.
"Here, just wait for Brother Lu and you can go." Guan Xu enthusiastically pulled Lu Yu into the inner hall.
Regarding Guan Xu's enthusiasm, Lu Yu touched his nose, estimating that it was because of his identity as an alchemist, and he wanted to make friends, after all, it was definitely rare to be able to refine the Dan in Qi refining and cultivation.
There are two people sitting in the inner hall, one is bald, and he is still wearing a robe, he seems to be a monk, his cultivation is the fifth layer of qi refining, and the other is holding a black long sword in his hand, with a straight face, cold, and he looks like he is not close to the living, his cultivation is the sixth layer of qi refining, both of them are in the middle stage of qi refining, and Guan Xu is also in the middle stage of qi refining.
Guan Xu smiled and introduced: "Brother Lu, this is Master Duhua, Zhao Zhong. ”
"Presumably, Daoyou is the alchemist Lu Yu benefactor in the mouth of Pipe Friend, right? It's amazing. Zhao Zhong smiled kindly.
Lu Yu nodded slightly, he said hello, but he sneered at the name of this old monk, and he was called a master in the middle of Qi refining.
Guan Xu continued: "This is Chen Wu, don't look at him coldly, but he is really good. ”
Chen Wu looked at Lu Yu and nodded slightly.
After greeting each other, Lu Yu said, "Are the ingredients for refining the Longevity Pill ready?" ”
Guan Xu patted the storage bag and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's enough to refine ten furnaces." ”
Lu Yu nodded, it's always a good thing to prepare more, after all, he is also refining the Life Extension Pill for the first time, although he is a little sure, but I don't know what the chance of success is.
"Without further ado, shall we go? Pipe friends? Zhao Zhong seemed a little anxious.
Lu Yu glanced at him, the latter was nearly half a hundred years old, if he didn't have some adventures in this life, he couldn't advance to the foundation building period, and he was afraid that he would turn into a pile of loess in a few decades, so he was extremely eager for the longevity pill.
Guan Xu nodded slightly, and then the four of them left Qingshi Village.
Except for Lu Yu, the other three went to the Scorpion Cave for the second time this time, and the first time they had to withdraw because they didn't protect the alchemist well.
This time, the three of them also deliberately protected Lu Yu in the middle.
After all, Lu Yuming was a cultivator of the first level of qi refining on his face, but no one knew his true means.
According to Guan Xu, the scorpion cave is in the Qingguang Forest, in the inner area of the forest.
On the periphery of the Qingguang Forest are some first-order demon beasts, while the inner periphery is a second-order demon beast equivalent to the mid-stage cultivation of qi refining, and occasionally there are third-order demon beasts.
In the outer area, the four of them passed through very easily, and the demon beasts they encountered during the period were all solved by Guan Xu's raised hand, until half an hour later, the four of them entered the inner area.
The expressions of the three were obviously much more cautious, and they all took out their respective spiritual weapons.
The spiritual weapon in Guan Xu's hand is a pair of silver claws, looking at the fluctuations of spiritual power it emits, it is an intermediate spiritual weapon, and Zhao Zhong is holding a golden bowl in his hand, which is also an intermediate spiritual weapon, and Chen Wu's spiritual weapon is the sword in his hand.
Lu Yu didn't take out the spirit weapon, because he wouldn't make a move unless he had to, and he wouldn't use the spirit weapon, there were three of them to deal with the demon beast, and his only task was to refine the longevity pill.
"Roar!" A beastly roar.
A big black bear came out of the jungle with scarlet eyes and a horn on its head!
"It's a one-horned black bear!" Guan Xu let out a low sigh.
"It's really unlucky to meet this beast." Zhao Zhong said with an ugly face.
Even Chen Wu, who didn't like it on the side, frowned slightly.
Lu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the big black bear not far away, the latter was a second-order peak demon beast, equivalent to the cultivation of the sixth layer of qi refining, plus the latter had rough skin and thick flesh, and his strength was infinite, and ordinary sixth-level qi refining cultivators were not opponents when they met it alone.
"Being targeted by this beast, it won't work if you don't solve it, Master Duhua and I will restrict this beast, and the attack will depend on Brother Chen." Guan Xu looked at the two of them.
"Okay." Zhao Zhong nodded, and Chen Wu also nodded slightly.
Although the sword in Chen Wu's hand was also an intermediate-level spiritual weapon, it was obviously much sharper than Guan Xu and Zhao Zhong's spiritual weapons, and only he could break through the one-horned black bear's defense.
And Lu Yu honestly stepped aside, the three of them would definitely be able to solve the demon bear, but it was just a waste of time.
"Up!" Guan Xu let out a low snort, his body suddenly stepped forward, and the silver claws in his hands flew out, grabbing the one-horned black bear fiercely, but it did not cause any substantial damage, and even the skin and flesh of the black bear were not broken.
Guan Xu's expression was a little ugly, he never expected that he still underestimated the defense of this demon beast, and his intermediate spirit weapon couldn't cause much damage.
Zhao Zhong touched his bald head, and the magic trick moved in his mouth! "Quicksand!"
I saw that the ground under the demon beast quickly melted and turned into flowing sand.
"Roar!" The one-horned black bear held his hand and left the quicksand.
"Icicle! Earthen Wall! Fireball! ……”
Zhao Zhong recited the magic trick in his mouth, and one spell after another was shot out of thin air, constantly attacking the demon bear, although it caused little damage, but it successfully restricted the movement of the demon beast.
"Brother Chen, hurry." Guan Xu said anxiously.
He felt that the demon bear was struggling to break free from his silver hook, if it weren't for the continuous injection of spiritual power into the spiritual weapon, I'm afraid the demon bear would have come out of his claws a long time ago, but his spiritual power was also limited, after all, it was only the cultivation of the sixth layer of qi refining, and the beads of sweat dripped from his face.
Hearing this, Chen Wu pulled out the sword expressionlessly, the scabbard was withdrawn, and a black sword appeared in front of everyone.
Amazing spiritual power fluctuations emanated from the black sword!
"Hey, this sword is a bit interesting, it fell from a high-level spirit weapon back to an intermediate spirit weapon?" Lu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, slightly curious, and with his previous knowledge in the infancy, he could see the origin of this sword at a glance.
Indeed, the black long sword in Chen Wu's hand was a high-level spirit weapon at the beginning, and it was also considered the top among the high-level spirit weapons, but because of a battle with a demon beast, the black sword was damaged, so it fell back to the intermediate spirit weapon, although it is now an intermediate spirit weapon, but the black sword is much stronger than the average intermediate spirit weapon!
"Roar! Roar! ”
It seemed that he felt the threat of the black sword, the one-horned black bear struggled more and more, Zhao Zhong's face was already a little wrong, he was only a fifth-level cultivator of qi refining, and his strength was one level lower than Guan Xu, and he continued to cast spells, and the spiritual power in his body was already a little unable to keep up.
Chen Wu threw out the black sword, and then a magic trick was played!
"Whew!" A sound of breaking the air sounded.
In the next second, the sound of the one-horned black bear quietly stopped!
"Bang!" The huge body of the black bear falls to the ground!
The black sword pierced through the chest, and the defense that the silver claw couldn't break through was easily broken by the black sword!
Guan Xu and Zhao Zhong both breathed a sigh of relief, and the two looked at Chen Wu with a hint of jealousy in their eyes.
The black sword hovered in the air for a while and flew into Chen Wu's hand, who was still expressionless.
Lu Yu glanced at the black sword in his hand again, if it weren't for the abnormally sharp black sword, I'm afraid this demon bear wouldn't be so easy to solve.
