Lu Cheng's induction force reached 2,048 strands, and the sensing distance reached 2,048 zhang at the same time. This made him understand that he had been promoted again. The current Lu Cheng is already in the early stage of the twelfth layer of internal strength, and this kind of strength is probably unprecedented, among the acquired martial artists.

After Lu Cheng was promoted to the twelfth layer of internal strength, the sensing force released from the center of his eyebrows suddenly broke out of his body. Fortunately, it was in the mountain body, otherwise, such a powerful induction force would probably attract the attention of those innate martial artists in the upper ranks.

But what Lu Cheng didn't expect was that someone above still sensed it. The position that Lu Cheng was looking for at this time was only about five hundred zhang away from the upper floor. He was promoted to the twelfth layer of internal strength, although it was not earth-shattering, but the twelfth layer was an unprecedented thing, and Lu Cheng was already standing at the peak of the acquired martial arts at this time.

In a cave on the upper floor, there was an old man with white eyebrows and white beard, who suddenly opened his eyes. Immediately, he pressed on the wall next to him, and the wall in front of him suddenly moved away, revealing a door. He walked out, and after passing through two more gates, he walked out of the cave. As soon as he came out, a figure quickly swept in from a distance.

The person who came was gray-haired and wearing a green shirt, and he was extremely fast, and he was still far away just now, and he was close at once. When he saw the white-eyed old man, he clasped his hands into fists from a distance.

"Brother Wu, are you coming out too?" The old man in the green shirt had a solemn face, and he also sensed the movement before he deliberately walked out of the cave. In the middle layer of Shi Tianyun Scorpion Peak, there was an inexplicable momentum. If such momentum appeared in the upper echelons, he would not care.

"Yes. The old man in the green shirt nodded heavily, he was a martial artist in the early stage of the second level of the congenital class, and his name was Fang Qiyu. And the white-eyed old man is Wu Wenkang, the guardian of the Wu family in Shitianyun Scorpion Peak, and he is also an innate martial artist, and he is also a congenital second-level mid-stage.

Fang Qiyu has been guarding Shitianyun Scorpion Peak for more than sixty years, starting from the early stage of the innate first level. For more than sixty years, he cultivated in Shi Tianyun Scorpion Peak every day, and finally reached the early stage of the innate second level. And Wu Wenkang has been guarding Shitianyun Scorpion Peak for more than 100 years. At that time, Wu Wenkang had just been promoted to an innate martial artist, and he was sent by the Wu family to Shitianyun Scorpion Peak as a guardian.

"Let's go down and have a look. "Wu Wenkang has been in Shi Tianyun Scorpion Peak for nearly a hundred years, and he has been able to advance from the early stage of the first level of the congenital to the middle stage of the second level of the first generation. It also has a lot to do with Shi Tianyun Scorpion Peak. The spiritual stone produced here is actually a spiritual mountain. Innate martial artists can absorb essence from heaven and earth and transform it into true qi, and on Shi Tianyun Scorpion Peak, there is a rich aura, which can greatly increase their cultivation speed.

Although it was very hard to serve as the guardian of the family in Shitianyun Scorpion Peak, for the innate martial artists, they only thought about cultivation. Moreover, cultivating in Shi Tianyun Scorpion Peak could greatly increase their cultivation speed.

Fang Qiyu followed Wu Wenkang to the mountainside. Although they didn't have Lu Cheng's specific location, as innate martial artists, they had already sensed Lu Cheng's momentum. This is a kind of aura emanating from the body of a high-level martial artist, although it is hundreds of zhang away, they can still perceive it, which shows the strength of this breath.

The arrival of Wu Wenkang and Fang Qiyu made the middle-level family guardians very nervous. Wu Wenkang hasn't been down the mountain for more than ten years, and Fang Qiyu is not much worse. The two of them. If there is only one down, it is earth-shattering enough. Now the two of them come down together. It can be seen that something big has happened.

Wu Wenkang and Fang Qiyu, accompanied by the middle-level guardians, took a few turns in the pit, but still found nothing. Wu Wenkang and Fang Qiyu glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. They could be sure that Lu Cheng was nearby, but they couldn't find anyone.

Wu Wenkang, as a martial artist in the middle stage of the congenital second level, naturally couldn't always stay in the middle level. This is not their territory. He didn't want to put too much pressure on others, so he put his hands behind his back and went straight back to the mountain. It was Fang Qiyu who stayed at the bottom of the mountain for another day before returning to the mountain.

"Brother Wu. I'm afraid someone has sneaked in. Fang Qiyu sighed and said that he had been around the mountainside and the foot of the mountain for a day, and what he had learned was not optimistic. Ordinary infiltrators are just trying to steal some spirit stones to sell for money. And some families, if they want to get a piece of the pie in Shi Tianyun Scorpion Peak, they will also send someone to sneak in first. But the current infiltrator is completely different from the previous infiltrators.

"Are you here for the spirit stone?" Wu Wenkang asked.

"I'm afraid so. Fang Qiyu, he glanced at Wu Wenkang and said, "The spirit stone at the foot of the mountain, the output in the past few months has been surprisingly low. It seems that all the spirit stones have been destroyed overnight. And the middle level, a similar situation has recently emerged. I'm worried that will be the case at the top soon?"

"Even if someone absorbs the spiritual power of the spirit stone, it is impossible to absorb so much at one time, right?" Wu Wenkang said in surprise, they can also absorb spiritual power from the spirit stone now, but even if he is in the middle of the innate second level, he can only absorb the spiritual power of two hundred medium-grade spirit stones each time. Moreover, it would take at least a month to convert all the spiritual power into true qi.

The person at the foot of the mountain basically absorbed all the spiritual power in the spirit stones at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside, what a high level of cultivation this must be. I'm afraid that even a martial artist above the innate level 5 is difficult to achieve, right? If it is really a congenital level 5 or above, there is no dependence on the spirit stone. Otherwise, the spirit stones of Shi Tianyun Scorpion Peak would have been used up by the innate martial artists long ago.

"This is exactly what I can't figure out, do you think you want to call out the other people and discuss a countermeasure together?" Fang Qiyu said tentatively, there are a total of five innate martial artists on the mountain, three of them will occasionally come out for activities, but the other two have not walked out of the cave for nearly thirty years.

"No need, do you need to trouble others for this kind of thing, you and I are enough. Wu Wenkang said slowly, no matter how strong the people below are, they will not be innate martial artists after all. If the other party really came for the spirit stone, he would definitely covet the spirit stone on the upper level.

The spirit stone on the Shitianyun Scorpion Peak, the higher it goes, the better the quality. The spirit stone under the mountain is basically a low-grade spirit stone. The vast majority of the spirit stones in the middle layer are medium-grade spirit stones. And the spirit stones on the mountain have a considerable number of high-grade spirit stones. The spiritual power of a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred medium-grade spirit stones. And a medium-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred low-grade spirit stones. In other words, the spiritual power of a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

Regarding Wu Wenkang and Fang Qiyu's behavior, Lu Cheng is very clear. It's just that he has just been promoted to the twelfth layer of internal strength, and he didn't move his position immediately. He never expected that his promotion would alarm the two innate martial artists on the mountain. But for the spirit stones on the mountain, Lu Cheng really cares.
