Chirp~

The leading second-order black bird reacted sharply, and instinctively stopped at the moment when the killing array was launched.

It roared angrily, and a dark wind erupted from its body, dispersing the surrounding water waves.

With a slash of the black feather, more than a dozen arc light feather blades cut in all directions.

There were a few slashes towards Lu Chang'an and the Xuanshui Turtle, and more slashes towards the illusory blue moon above.

"Not stupid."

Lu Changan asked Guan Qiaozhi to retreat to the cave mansion and sacrifice the best magic weapon [King Kong Bell] that he had purchased in Huanglong Immortal City.

The five-foot-long golden bell flew over the pool, turning into a large bell several feet wide, condensing a translucent golden cover, helping the Xuanshui Turtle block the attack.

Actually, it's just for show.

The little attack of the second-order demon beast could not hurt the Xuanshui Turtle that had retracted into the turtle shell.

Clang! Father!

Lu Chang'an's mana in the middle stage of foundation building was injected into the [King Kong Bell], and the roaring sonic light ripples shook the second-order black birds that tried to break through the formation and leave.

The second-order black bird shook in the sky, bleeding from its mouth and nose, and its speed was greatly reduced.

In addition to defending and trapping the enemy, [King Kong Bell] can also launch sound waves, shake qi and blood, and shock the mind.

Creak!

A sturdy orange squirrel demon leaped out of the cave.

The sharp claws glowed with a layer of dull yellow light, slicing off the head of the second-order black bird.

Lu Changan stopped the spell he was about to deal with.

The difficulty of demon birds lies in their high mobility. In the middle stage of ordinary foundation building, it is difficult to kill this kind of second-order early bird.

With the help of the formation of Little Turtle Peak, Lu Changan was able to deal with the second-order late-stage demon beasts with only superficial conventional means.

A few decades ago, the Heavenly Moon Wolf in the Black Mist Mountain Range could only reach the level of the late second-order under the full moon amplification.

Finish processing the materials of the second-order demon beast.

That night, Lu Changan added dinner and ate a full feast of demon birds.

Ye Fei of Xiao Danfeng was invited to come over and enjoy.

"Lu Daoyou, the scale of the beast tide exceeds expectations, will there be a small-scale group of demon beasts to kill?"

Full of wine and food, Ye Fei wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and his tone was slightly worried.

The demon beast has a strong physique, and the effect of poison will be much worse.

He didn't want to just find a spiritual vein dojo that matched his heart, and then be ravaged by demon beasts.

"I can't say."

Lu Changan shook his head and said.

"Wuqi Mountain is some distance from the front line, as long as it is not a big beast tide, the real threat will not be these demon beasts."

Even if a small-scale demon beast really came to kill him, he thought to himself that he could advance and retreat freely.

On the small turtle peak, there are spiritual wood herbs planted by Lu Changan for decades.

This kind of opportunity to make a fortune in silence will not make him give up this place and run away.

……

Half a month later.

Lu Changan expected that the person who sent the materials came.

The first is the Imperial Beast Zhou family.

The Zhuji monk who represented the cooperation was a middle-aged and elderly elegant scribe, who was none other than Zhou Jingxuan, who had spoken in Huanglong Immortal City back then.

Zhou Jingxuan cultivated in the middle of the foundation, and his temples were mixed with a few strands of gorgeous hair, and his age was much older than Lu Changan.

"I haven't seen him for many years, Lu Daoyou's cultivation has gone further, and he deserves to be an inspirational example of a late bloomer."

At this meeting, Lu Changan's cultivation changed, which made Zhou Jingxuan feel complicated and had mixed tastes.

Decades ago, in the early days of foundation building, he came to Zhuye Mountain to participate in the auction, and Lu Changan was still an unknown mid-stage talisman master of qi refining.

Unconsciously, this person took one step at a time, steadily and diligently, and even caught up with him.

"Zhou Daoyou praised falsely, Lu was just lucky, and he didn't wear out at the bottleneck. It was only at the age of 100 that he was promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, and he was extremely mediocre. ”

Lu Changan said humbly with a smile.

The reason why Zhou Jingxuan was caught up by him was not because Lu Changan cultivated quickly.

It is the dilemma faced by most of them in the foundation building period, and it is difficult to promote to the later realm for life.

Zhou Jingxuan stayed for dozens of years in the middle of foundation building.

In the cave, the host and guest are seated.

"Aristocratic Miss Zhou, isn't it fighting against demon beasts on the front line?"

During the chat, Lu Changan mentioned Zhou Qingxuan.

"That's right. Qing Xuan guards the clan land, which is much more important than my uncle. ”

Zhou Jingxuan seemed self-deprecating, and his tone contained pride and praise.

"Miss Zhou's beast talent can indeed play a big role in the beast tide."

Lu Changan also praised.

He couldn't help but think that Zhou Qingxuan had gained a lot in the Qingming Secret Realm, and he had some chances.

Subsequently, I learned from Zhou Jingxuan: Zhou Qingxuan has experienced the tempering of the beast tide and has recently been promoted to the later stage of foundation building.

Lu Changan couldn't help but be moved.

estimated his age, Zhou Qingxuan was about twenty years younger than himself.

"Not yet ninety years old in the late stage of foundation building."

Lu Changan couldn't help but raise his assessment of this woman.

Sect elites like Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan set the goal of building a foundation before the age of 100, and there is hope for knotting Dan in the future.

Zhang Tieshan has a strong will, and it is suspected that he has a fate, and he has made great achievements in the Qingying Secret Realm, which can achieve his goal.

Zhao Siyao was only promoted to the late stage of foundation building in the past two years, and she was more than 100 years old and did not reach her goal.

Of course, Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan are not the top geniuses of the sect.

Several major sects in the Liang Kingdom all have geniuses of earth spirit roots.

It is not excluded that there is a hidden heavenly spirit root.

The contemporary Yuanying True Monarch of the Fire Palace is the Heavenly Spirit Root Monk.

Zhou Qingxuan's progress like this, if it was ordinary, Lu Changan would feel abnormal.

However, this woman participated in the Qingying Secret Realm, got the opportunity, and was tempered by the beast tide, and was able to be promoted to the later stage of foundation building so smoothly, which can be regarded as a trace.

……

"Lu Daoyou, can you eat this batch of materials from Zhou?"

Zhou Jingxuan took out a few storage bags and put them on the table.

Lu Changan probed one by one, revealing surprise.

These storage bags are filled with monster materials suitable for drawing talismans.

In fact, before the beast tide, the cooperation between Lu Changan and the Zhou family gradually decreased.

Because, a few years ago, the Zhou family invited the second-order talisman master to worship, and the new generation also cultivated talisman talents.

However, there are too many materials harvested in the beast tide, and it is difficult for the clan to digest.

The pressure of the beast tide is too great to stock up.

Demon beast materials must be immediately converted into spirit stones to obtain combat resources such as elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons.

Fighting against the beast tide, appeasing the clansmen, and recruiting monks all require a huge amount of spirit stones and combat resources.

"Lu only needs second-order talisman materials."

Lu Chang'an looked embarrassed.

Most of these storage bags are first-order demon beast materials.

"The price can be lower, and it can be sold with excellent second-order talisman materials."

Zhou Jingxuan added.

After some haggling, the two negotiated a deal of tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Lu Changan used the market price of spirit stones and second-order talismans to deduct them, and purchased first-order demon beast materials at a low price from the Zhou family, as well as relatively cheap second-order demon beast materials.

Among them, the first-order materials are mainly medium and upper grades, and the price is only half of what it was before the beast tide.

Second-order materials, mainly middle and lower grades. Seven folds for the lower grade, eight folds for the middle grade, and nine folds for the upper grade.

During the Beast Tide, these materials will not reduce the price of the talisman.

The current market is: there is a surplus of materials, there are not enough craftsmen, the talisman is consumed quickly, and the supply exceeds demand.

……

This transaction is very large, and Lu Changan proposed to do it twice, saying that it should be realized by drawing talismans during the period.

Zhou Jingxuan expected it and readily agreed.

In fact, Lu Changan's current spirit stone reserves can be easily eaten at one time.

After the first transaction, Zhou Jingxuan didn't stay for a moment and left in a hurry.

Fly out of the Little Turtle Peak.

Outside Wuqi Mountain, a dark-skinned old man with a sturdy figure and a fierce face came to him.

"Elder Zhou." Zheng Centipede smiled on his face and arched his hand.

Back then, before the Zheng family of Zhuye Mountain was destroyed, he had a good relationship with the Zhou family of the imperial beast, and married the daughter of the clan to the Zhou family as a concubine.

Zheng Centipede also knew Zhou Jingxuan, and after being promoted to build the foundation, he went to visit the Zhou family of the imperial beast and was sent away at will.

"It turned out to be Brother Zheng." Zhou Jingxuan responded simply, did not stop, and staggered.

Zheng Centipede, who was snubbed, was not dissatisfied.

He flew in front of the Little Turtle Peak, and after being informed, he was allowed to enter.

……

In the cave mansion, facing Lu Chang'an, who was in the middle of foundation building, Zheng Centipede was more respectful than before.

After greetings, Zheng Centipede said tentatively:

"I can let Zhou Jingxuan visit in person, but Lu Daoyou has made a big deal with the Zhou family of the Imperial Beast?"

"It's just some demon beast materials for drawing talismans."

Lu Changan didn't mention much.

His cooperation with the Royal Beast Zhou family over the years can't be hidden from those who have a heart.

"It's a coincidence, Zheng has some second-order demon beast skins in his hand, is Lu Daoyou interested?"

Zheng centipede laughed together, the scars on his face squeezed together, a little terrifying.

"Second-order demon beast skin? Brother Zheng wants to trade how. ”

For the second-order talisman materials, Lu Changan naturally did not refuse.

"It's better to trade with second-order talismans, it's better to have second-order mid-grade talismans, and Zheng can give a lower price."

Zheng centipede presents a storage bag.

"Second-order talismans? I heard that the Zheng family 'hired' a second-order talisman master to help draw talismans. ”

Lu Changan's tone was teasing.

Zheng Centipede smiled awkwardly and sighed:

"Alas, that bastard, barely a second-order talisman master, his skills are very bad! wasted a lot of good materials for Zheng. ”

The bastard he mentioned was naturally Chen Sheng.

Two years ago, Zheng Centipede and Chen Sheng had a dispute of interests involving a disputed property near the original Chen family's land.

Zheng centipede unloaded one of Chen Sheng's legs.

Afterwards, no one spoke up for Chen Sheng, and Shi Xianzi only said to leave one alive.

Zheng Centipede was ready to find an opportunity to abolish Chen Sheng's cultivation.

Chen Sheng was not stupid and hid outside for a while.

Until the beast tide came, the talisman was in short supply, and the talisman master was very sought-after.

Chen Sheng wanted to go outside to buy some talisman materials and take the opportunity to earn some spirit stones, but was caught by Zheng Centipede.

In order to protect himself, Chen Sheng made a commotion and worked as a coolie for the Zheng family.

However, Chen Sheng's talisman art has been abandoned for a long time, and it is no problem to draw a first-order talisman, but to draw a second-order talisman, the success rate and quality are miserable.

"The second-order talisman master is also a rare talent, and Brother Zheng should take care of this person in the house."

Lu Changan said kindly.

"Zheng understands." Zheng centipede laughed.

In the subsequent transaction, Lu Changan traded with a second-order talisman, the second-order lower grade was the mainstay, and the second-order middle grade was only given one, under the pretext that it was bought by the Zhou family.

The second-order animal skins purchased from Zheng Centipede were a little cheaper than the Zhou family's.

Where did the materials come from, Lu Changan did not ask in detail.

The Tiexing Villa, where the Zheng family is currently located, is located on the east side of Wuqi Mountain, closer to Huanglong Immortal City.

Zheng Centipede obtains demon beast materials, can purchase them from Huanglong Immortal City, and can also personally participate in the hunting of demon beasts.

Even, killing people on the road to grab treasures, there is a high probability that you can get monster materials.

Lu Chang'an's heart moved, and he asked Zheng Centipede about the specific situation of the Yellow Dragon Immortal City and the front-line beast tide.

Zheng Centipede's news is extremely sensitive, and he knows the surroundings of Huanglong Immortal City well.

In the beast tide, which city wall has been breached, and who has died in battle in the Huanglong Mountain lineage, it is all said that the head is the way.

Lu Changan suddenly discovered that Zheng Centipede was of some use to himself.

He didn't want to leave Wuqi Mountain and go to Huanglong Immortal City to take risks, and at the same time, he had to beware of Kong Mao and the little people who came to attack Wuqi Mountain.

There is a lack of eyes and ears and errands around me.
