Chapter 18: How Am I Becoming More and More Like a Demon Cultivator?
Red Dust Record?
Lu Heng was slightly stunned when he saw this prompt, and his eyes moved to the upper right corner of the game interface of "Cultivating Immortals".
An icon in the shape of a red book appeared there.
When I opened this icon, I found that there were blank frames inside, and the words "no included" were marked on them.
"It seems that we will have to wait until we get through this 'haunted house in the city'." Lu Heng nodded and gave instructions to the game, "Enter the dungeon 'Haunted Mansion in the City'!" ”
Immediately, the picture turned, and the villain appeared in a dilapidated house full of purple-black mist, and the speed of the small sword beside him became faster, as if he sensed some kind of danger.
Whew!
At this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew in the dilapidated house, and there was a howling sound.
Immediately afterwards, the purple-black mist suspended a faint blue fire, and a strange soundtrack sounded, and the atmosphere of the scene in the game was set off very well.
"Looks like the boss is coming." Lu Heng looked at the game screen and made a prediction based on his rich game experience.
Sure enough, when the music in the game reached its climax, the purple-black mist and the dark blue firelight spread out to both sides at the same time, as if welcoming a powerful being.
Buzzing!
With a trembling sound, a huge humanoid monster stepped out of the purple-black mist and came in front of the little man.
[Encounter the boss monster "Earthbound Ghost"!] 】
A blood-red text prompt appears along with a long boss health bar.
[Come with me to Huangquan! 】
A text suddenly appeared above the head of the humanoid monster, and then it pounced on the little man, as if he wanted to eat it alive, very fierce.
However, he still couldn't survive a single face under the flying sword.
There was a flash of white light, and the resentful ghost of the earth was wiped out on the spot, and the purple-black mist and dark blue firelight disappeared with it, and the entire dilapidated house became clean.
It's as if it's a one-hit hanging.
As always, it's a spike!
[Kill the boss monster "Earthbound Ghost.] XP +18, Soul Lock +1, Resentment Shard +2, Sinster Aura +3, Pure Soul Power +3, Backpack Slot +5

[+1 for killing the dungeon boss, the dungeon has a cooldown of 1 month, and the first-order treasure chest is +1]

Level 1 (197/200)】
[Stay near your home for more than 6 hours on the same day, + 3 months of travel]
Another bumper harvest!
Lu Heng counted the harvest with satisfaction, opened the red dust record and took a look, and found that the picture frame, which was originally blank, now has an imprint.
It is the "haunted house in the city" that has just been cleared.
[Red Dust Brand: Collect a single boss dungeon condensed into a brand, you can directly speed run the dungeon through the brand, and get the reward of killing the dungeon boss normally.] 】
Through this explanation, Lu Heng immediately understood what this was, to put it bluntly, he didn't need to go to the location of the dungeon, he could directly brush the dungeon to get rewards.
"What a feature." His eyes lit up.
This means that even if he leaves Heyang County in the future, he can still swipe the copy of the Red Dust Record brand anytime and anywhere to get rewards.
Next, Lu Heng took a look at the details of other rewards.
[Soul Suppression Evil Talisman: First-Order Talisman. The more mana is infused when drawing, the more the rune is in line with the law, and the stronger the effect. 】
[Resentful Ghost Yin Array: First-Order Formation. Gather the yin and evil qi to improve the cultivation and strength of the ghosts in the array. At least one array flag is required to be arranged, and the more array flags, the higher the quality, and the stronger the formation power. 】
[Hundred Ghost Gatehouse: First-order medium-grade magic weapon. It can absorb the souls of the dead and turn them into ghost soldiers, retaining seventy percent of their cultivation during their lifetime, and can accommodate up to one hundred ghost soldiers, and the upper limit of the realm is six layers of qi refining. 】
When looking at the Soul Suppression Evil Talisman, Lu Heng's expression was quite normal.
But after reading the last two, the expression on his face became strange.
"What's going on, why is my painting style more and more like a demon cultivator?"
Just imagine, I sacrificed a hundred ghost gatehouses, summoned a hundred ghost soldiers, and set up a resentful ghost yin array, gathering yin and evil qi, and everywhere I passed, the sky was dark, and the ghost soldiers howled......
It's outrageous.
This doesn't look like a decent person, living out of a demonic cultivator!
Thinking about the effect of "The Secret of White Tiger Killing", implementing the killing idea can directly increase the mana, and breaking through the realm requires a cross-level kill of the enemy, and the effect of the wheat whip also looks very evil......
It's getting more and more alike.
"At this stage, it is still practical, and you have to use it when you need it." Lu Heng said secretly in his heart, "However, in the future, I will have to make some decent spells and magic weapons, and when I have time, I will refine the flying sword gourd." ”
If you look like a decent person, you will have a lot less trouble on weekdays.
If you look like an evil devil, it's very different, and you may be attacked by the heroes of the rivers and lakes for no reason when you walk on the street.
……
When Pei Zhiqing returned to the abandoned courtyard, he found that there was no longer Feng Wuzi's figure here, and there was no body.
She asked Lu Heng with some confusion: "Senior, the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect ......"
"Dead." Lu Heng gave a straightforward answer, and then smiled, "I asked a lot of things from him, if it is really as he said, Heyang County is probably hopeless." ”
"What?!" Pei Zhiqing was shocked when she heard this, "Senior, what's going on?" ”
"According to that person...... Lu Heng said the information that Feng Wuzi confessed, and said in a deep voice, "I haven't been in contact with Fang Qian, and I haven't met the people of Zhaoyang Army, so I'm not sure about their personalities, but I feel that there should be something wrong with these things he confessed." ”
It's intuition, and it's speculation.
Feng Wuzi, a martial artist of the seventh level, is certainly not weak, but to say that he alone can stir up these three states and eleven counties into what they are now...... The seven states of Huaixi should have been annexed by the Southern Miao State a long time ago.
Pei Zhiqing thought about it carefully for a while, and said solemnly: "What the predecessor said is right, there are indeed some problems. I have only met with Shizun a few times since I was not familiar with it, but I know a lot about Fang Qian.
"I have been the head of foreign affairs of Heyang County of the Zixiao Sect since two years ago, and in order to facilitate the situation, I have done a lot of investigations on this chief official of Heyang County, and I have also negotiated several times in the past two years, this person is not simple.
"Fang Qian was born in the local family, his ancestors have produced six books, he was admitted to the fame at a young age, and his martial arts have also reached the sixth level.
"How can such a person be instigated by the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect in a few words, in fact, I prefer that Fang Qian himself also has a special purpose, so he will pretend to cooperate with the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect."
"Makes sense." Lu Heng bowed his head lightly and said, "In this case, you should still go and find a room dive and catch him for questioning." ”
"Hmm." Pei Zhiqing also nodded, and then said, "However, there is one thing to let the seniors know, when I was outside before, I saw a figure with outstanding light skills going in the direction of Fang Qian's house.
"This person's light martial arts body method is suspected to be the famous "Nine Shadows Swimming in the Dragon Step" ten years ago, which is the unique martial arts of the 'Dragon in the Mountain' Yang Haichao, who was already the seventh level of martial arts ten years ago.
"At that time, he was not yet thirty years old, and many people were optimistic about becoming a great master in the future, but then Yang Haichao suddenly disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and many people thought he was dead, but they didn't expect that now "Nine Shadows and Dragon Steps" will reappear in the world."
"The seventh level of martial arts ten years ago?" Lu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and asked, "In your judgment, is that person Yang Haichao himself?" ”
"Very likely." Pei Zhiqing nodded and said, "That figure's light skills are close to the realm, and it is like flowing clouds and rivers between movements, and it is very likely that it is Yang Haichao himself, and it is possible that he has reached the peak of the seventh level, and even glimpsed the realm of the eighth level." ”
"Fang Qian still has contact with such a character?" Lu Heng couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then smiled, "This shows that he doesn't look like a person who will be used by the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect at will, so come with me to Fang Qian's house." ”
After a battle with two Ten Thousand Poison Sect masters, he had roughly figured out what kind of martial artist a Qi Refining Level Immortal Cultivator could deal with.
First of all, it is definitely stronger than the sixth level, and the life level is similar to the seventh level, but the power of spells and magic weapons is much stronger than martial arts, and it can almost crush the martial artist.
Even if he encounters the eighth layer of the martial arts, with the Dehydration Talisman and the Gengjin Sword Qi Talisman, it is enough to kill the opponent twice, and it is really not good, and the power is equivalent to the wind and thunder evil qi of the fifth layer of Qi refining.
Therefore, Lu Heng retreated without hearing that Yang Haichao might be the eighth layer of the martial arts.
After all, thinking twice is prudence and the way to achieve things.
As for the reason for Pei Zhiqing to follow, it is also very simple.
He didn't know Fang Qian, so as not to catch the wrong person.
……
Yang Haichao, under Cai Kang's willful request, had to come to Fang Qian.
Inquire about the cause of death of the county lieutenant Sun Chang and the other twenty soldiers, and use this as a clue to find the murderer and seize the best weapon that may exist.
"If it weren't for Lord Langzhong's great kindness to me, why would I be like this!" Yang Haichao thought of Cai Kang's various performances, and he couldn't wait to slap this gentleman to death.
The porter took his prayer post, and when he saw that it was someone sent by Cai Kang, the river canal, he hurriedly went in to report it.
Soon the porter came back again, and he respectfully took him in, and after walking through three or four corridors, he came to the backyard of this house, and then he saw the county order Fang Qian.
"I have heard the prestige of the dragon in the mountains for a long time, it is really better to see it than to hear it, and I am fortunate to meet it." Fang Qian greeted him enthusiastically and said with a smile, "I wonder if you can borrow your head for me?" ”
