Volume 1: The Past of Qingluo Chapter 25: The Gathering of Cultivators (1)
Five days later, Li Changyue walked out of the secret room, holding a few colorful spirit stones in his hands. When it comes to the Qi Refining Realm, this spirit stone will be an indispensable resource for cultivation.
Within a few days of returning to Fenglin Village, Li Changyue had been in retreat in his practice room for a few days, except for some daily affairs.
These days, Li Changyue has sorted out his own martial arts, and the "Hundred Refining Returning to the Yuan Jue" adapted from the fragment "Qingyu Jue" and his original martial arts can only be cultivated to the peak of the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, so he has encountered a choice in his future cultivation path.
"This Purple Xuan Qi Recipe is obviously missing a lot of key methods, but this secret method of collecting Chaoyang Purple Qi into the body to refine the true yuan is not bad, but the cultivation process is too slow." Li Changyue muttered to himself as he opened the secret book containing purple-red ethereal clouds.
"Generally speaking, the family alliance will not easily exchange treasures, this cheat is either defective, or it is very difficult to cultivate, this exercise must have been above the high level." Li Changyue speculated in his heart.
The so-called high-level is also the third-order exercises, and the upper level is the top level.
At the beginning, Li Changyue didn't expect that he would break through so quickly, and now the grade of "Guiyuan Jue" is probably no less than the upper grade of the beginner level, but unfortunately there is no follow-up exercise, whether to revise "Purple Xuanqi Jue" or continue to improve the exercise method as before, Li Changyue is difficult to decide for a while.
As for the part of the forging realm, although the "Purple Xuan Qi Jue" has a unique place, his foundation is already very solid, and he has walked out of his own path, there is no need to be greedy.
"Hey, it's really troublesome, let's take a look at it first, the family's middle-level exercises are definitely not so easy to get, unless it is a core disciple in the inner door." Li Changyue thought in his heart, but he didn't want to be in the limelight, and besides, this middle-level exercise would not go far for him.
Sitting there cross-legged, holding the book in one hand, studying it intently.
"Knock knock", there was a soft knock on the door outside.
"Team Li, I'm Duan Xiulai, there is something in the village that needs to be over, it seems that the town guard department has a task." Duan Xiulai's clear voice came from outside the door.
"I see, I'll be over in a moment, you can wait in the house for a while!" "There's a lot going on in the Town Guard!" Li Changyue looked helpless, and muttered, he originally wanted to cultivate it in the village for a month or two because of the recent accident in Luofeng, but this is happening again.
put away the books, sorted out the clothes, came to the house where he lived, and saw Duan Xiulai waiting there.
"Old Duan, has anything changed?"
"Hey, the Town Guard Division has recently sent a large number of Qi Refining Realm patrols to the edge of the jungle, and I hope that a few martial artists from each village will accompany them."
Hearing Duan Xiulai's words, Li Changyue also frowned: "So the Town Guard Division is planning to take the initiative, it seems that it is preparing to make a move against the Blood River Sect, do we Luofeng have enough strength?" ”
"I was in the town two days ago, and I heard that almost all of the town guards were dispatched to completely clean up all the hostile forces near Luofeng!"
"So that's the case, so we can't avoid the conflict." Li Changyue heard the situation mentioned by Duan Xiulai, raised his head and thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter, the soldiers will come to block it, the water will cover it, and we will go over." ”
Li Changyue quickly came back to his senses and clenched his fists: Worries are superfluous, dangers and challenges are everywhere in this world, and he still has this awareness.
A moment later, Li Changyue and Duan Xiulai quickly came to the village health bureau and saw the people gathered in the village, discussing something with each other.
"Team Li, it's early!"
"Hello Team Lee!"
…
"Old Duan, if there is a mission, I will go alone, you should not go out for the time being, just pay more attention to the changes in the village." Li Changyue reminded Duan Xiulai.
"Okay, Team Li, don't worry about it here."
Li Changyue then walked into the council hall and saw that Muramasa and the two captains had already arrived, in addition to a patrol of ten people: three Qi Refining Realm deacons and seven blue-robed warriors with perfect body forging.
"Muramasa, deacons, under Li Changyue, come to discuss matters!" Li Changyue arched his hand at everyone.
Among them, the first chubby middle-aged man with a kind face was none other than Deacon Luo Haisheng, whom Li Changyue met in the town guard division that day, who was wearing a cyan robe at this time and was looking at him with a smile on his face. I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Changyue always felt that this guy had a hint of a "profiteer" expression in his smile. The other two were a long-faced old man of medium stature, and the other was a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a square face with loose hair.
As for the group of warriors behind him, there were a few who knew him, most of them were a few people who had met in the previous patrol, and one of them was familiar, it was Captain Luo, who was following Deacon Feng at that time.
"Well, how is that middle-aged figure a little familiar!" Just after Li Changyue glanced at everyone, he was suddenly a little surprised by a familiar figure, but he didn't know it. Li Changyue's face was silent, and he stood with the two captains, waiting for the meeting to begin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Captain Wu can't come because he needs daily patrols, and the three remaining captains with the highest strength in our Fenglin Village are all here." The village was explaining to Luo Haisheng and the other patrol members.
"This is Captain Li Changyue, and he has also patrolled the jungle the most frequently in the past year, completed the most large and small tasks, and is most familiar with the moonswing jungle." At this time, Muramasa pointed to Li Changyue and introduced it.
"Hehe, Captain Li, we met again, it seems that we are really destined!" Luo Haisheng waited until Muramasa finished speaking, and smiled at Li Changyue.
"Thank you, Deacon Luo, for remembering, I wonder what I can do this time?" Li Changyue asked calmly, but he complained in his heart, why is this deacon surnamed Luo still sticky, it must be that he mentioned to Muramasa that he wanted to come over by himself.
"Well, that's right, we need to carry out important tasks, I know your situation better, and it is decided that you will join the patrol!" Luo Haisheng's face was straight, and he said to Li Changyue straight to the point.
Li Changyue heard the meaning, this was an order, but he didn't bother with anything.
"No problem, I don't know when to go?"
"Without further ado, let's go now, is there anything to prepare?" The long-faced old man asked lightly.
"No, I'm ready to go."
Luo Haisheng saw that Li Changyue agreed so simply, and introduced the two people around him: "Oh, by the way, let me introduce you, this is Deacon Du Feiyu, this is Deacon Zhao Shen, and the rest will not be introduced one by one." ”
As he spoke, he gestured to the deacon surnamed Du beside him, only to see the old man turn over a piece of folded coated paper in his hand and show it in front of Li Changyue: it is one meter long and wide, and the precise terrain, the location and size of mountains and rivers, and even the contour line are drawn on it, reflecting that this should be drawn by a monk who is proficient in astronomy and geography.
"This is the precise map that I have mastered in Huoyang City, the patrol area is limited to this one, Captain Li will see which route is more appropriate?" At this time, the burly middle-aged man with the hair said to Li Changyue a little coldly, his fingers drew a square area, and there seemed to be a disdainful contempt in his tone.
"By the way, we are currently here, and this is Luofeng Town, we have asked to meet around here in ten days." "In addition, we must eliminate all hostile forces in the area as much as possible!" Luo Haisheng thought that this kind of internal map had never been seen in the village, so he added.
Glancing at this middle-aged man who made him feel a little familiar, the corners of Li Changyue's mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked at the map: "Well, here is more than five hundred miles deep into the Yuedang Jungle, if you want to complete it in ten days, I suggest starting from here and following this road in a zigzag, and there are a large number of ridges near here, and you need to go back and forth in the direction of height......"
This series of quick and methodical routes surprised the three of them a little, which is usually only possible for those who are familiar with the environment and have a good knowledge of geography. And it was beyond everyone's expectation that such a young man in front of him had such ability.
Li Changyue is no stranger to the map, and he is also very familiar with the Yuedang Jungle, and the combination of the two quickly worked out a more reasonable route, which made Deacon Luo and the three a little surprised. However, at this time, Li Changyue once again felt a trace of murder in the faint hostility of the middle-aged deacon, maybe others couldn't feel it, but Li Changyue felt that this middle-aged man was a little familiar before, and he took special "care" of it, plus the current realm has no rank gap with them, and it is even much higher, and he really found some clues.
"I didn't expect that Captain Li not only has not simple strength, but also knows a lot about geography, so I really found the right one for you this time."
"Hehe, Deacon Luo has won the award, in fact, I have also been interested in astronomy and geography since I was a child, as for the strength is so-so, being able to go out on patrol many times is still due to my familiarity and understanding of the terrain." Li Changyue didn't want to expose his strength too much for the time being, so he simply took the opportunity to attribute his ability to successfully perform the task to his alternative "expertise".
"Alright, let's go!"
An hour later, everyone was already in the jungle, and since the lowest cultivation in the team this time also had the strength of the peak of the ninth layer of the forging body, Deacon Luo and his party traveled very quickly, and in a short period of time, they had already reached a place more than fifty miles away from Fenglin Village.
With a few "snorts", the two warriors in the team decisively killed the three-headed first-order spider demon beast that appeared in everyone's sight, and then simply disposed of the demon beast's corpse and went directly to the road.
"It seems that this is going to be serious, but it's okay, it also shows that Luofeng's situation is not too bad, and they won't make a move without a certain degree of certainty, just like the accident ten years ago." Li Changyue observed their actions as he walked, thinking secretly in his heart.
Behind a ridge, Li Changyue said to Deacon Luo and the others: "Be careful ahead, not long ago, a patrol reported that a second-level demon beast appeared here. ”
"Hmph, no matter what happens, it's just a sword slash!" The middle-aged man with his hair doesn't seem to care too much.
Luo Haisheng was very cautious, and said to Captain Luo: "Well, Captain Luo, tell everyone to be vigilant and avoid unnecessary casualties!" ”
When Captain Luo heard this, he immediately ordered his martial artists: "Everyone, get closer, work in groups of three, and keep fighting at any time!" ”
A quarter of an hour later, Li Changyue's reminder really came true, and just as they passed by a relatively narrow mountain road, Deacon Luo and the three of them took the lead in stopping, their faces a little solemn, because they felt two fierce auras approaching: two second-level demon beasts followed the sound and came over!
