Coming to the magma lake under Jiuding Peak again, Liu Ao cautiously inspected the entire grotto, and then chose an inconspicuous stone on the cave wall to climb up, and began to cultivate cross-legged.

As Liu Ao used the spiritual power in his body, the scorching spiritual power in this grotto began to center on Liu Ao, slowly forming a vague pale red vortex.

These auras were constantly absorbed and refined by Liu Ao, and finally stored in the veins.

The benefits of divine blood, Liu Ao can't really appreciate it now, what he can perceive is nothing more than the absorption of spiritual power faster than before, and the recovery of injuries is also faster.

In this underground cavern, you can't feel the passage of time.

When the veins were filled with spiritual power, Liu Ao landed on the edge of the magma lake to practice the first form of life and death swordsmanship.

When the spiritual power was exhausted, Liu Ao continued to absorb the spiritual energy on his knees, and after repeating it for a few rounds, Liu Ao could obviously feel that his veins could hold more spiritual power.

In a blink of an eye, it was three days.

In Jiuding Academy, a wave of public opinion has already been set off.

'Half-demon disciple Jia Mingnai is the wanted criminal Liu Ao by the Demon Suppression Army' This news is already known to everyone.

The ordinary conversations of the disciples were always inseparable from guessing Liu Ao's purpose for infiltrating the academy.

Even with Qingshi, Qinglian, and Murong Yue, they have also become the focus of everyone's daily discussions.

Murong Yue is okay, after all, where is the identity, people say that it was Murong Yue who was bewitched by Liu Ao's half-demon.

In order to avoid public opinion affecting Murong Yue's cultivation, Murong Yu gave Murong Yue a grounding order and let her stay in her residence to cultivate all day.

Bluestone is not so good.

The soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army were tricked by him, and they were naturally extremely angry, and they almost killed Qingshi by beating them violently, but Qinglian's girl begged the master she had just worshiped to find Qiu Kong to intercede, and paid a large sum of spirit stones to save Qingshi.

The Hall of Discipline dispatched hundreds of disciples to cooperate with Qiu Kong to search for Liu Ao's traces, but in the end they did not find any clues.

Qiu Kong didn't dare to trouble Murong Yue, after all, with Murong Yu here, even the military advisors of the Demon Suppression Army didn't dare to mess around.

In desperation, Qiu Kong could only leave angrily, and also released cruel words, no matter if Liu Ao fled to the ends of the earth, he would kill him.

So, is this crisis resolved?

Liu Ao knew in his heart that Qiu Long, the real mastermind behind the scenes, would never give up chasing him.

After all, Liu Ao knew his biggest secret, and once it was revealed, Qiu Long would fall into a place of no return.

Similarly, Qiu Long also knew that Liu Ao would not easily reveal that secret, which would only lead to fire.

in underground caverns.

Liu Ao sat cross-legged on the edge of the magma lake quietly, the magma lake suddenly rippled, and the red flame python showed a pair of flaming eyes, quietly observing Liu Ao.

I saw a layer of red light lingering on Liu Ao's body, and dark green beads of sweat continued to ooze from all over his body.

This is the continuous elimination of impurities in Liu Ao's meridians, and it is also a necessary process for monks to be promoted to a new realm.

The aura on Liu Ao's body gradually became stronger, and the red light became brighter and brighter.

In the next moment, the aura rising from the surface of the lake suddenly froze, and then frantically surged towards Liu Ao.

Liu Ao was like a bottomless pit, absorbing all these spiritual energy, and in the next moment, he saw that the spiritual power around Liu Ao's body was constantly expanding, and his aura was constantly rising.

"Boom~"

A strong wind rushed out of Liu Ao's body and surged in all directions.

Liu Ao opened his eyes excitedly, "Senior Great Martial Master, this feels really amazing. ”

After being promoted, Liu Ao's perception became more sensitive.

The aura contained in this magma lake once again attracted Liu Ao's attention.

Ordinary spiritual energy is extremely warm, but the spiritual power here is not only hot, but also more pure, and it is twice the result with half the effort to cultivate, and it seems that it is also good for tempering the physical body.

Liu Ao clenched his fists, feeling his strong physical strength, he couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that there is a difference between aura and aura?"

After thinking about it, Liu Ao still couldn't think of the reason.

This is the disadvantage of Liu Ao and most of the casual cultivators, without the guidance of a teacher, and the knowledge is also insufficient.

When the spiritual power in his vein stabilized, Liu Ao began to think about the next way out.

Either leave Jiuding College, or change your identity to retake the assessment and stay.

Liu Ao chose to leave temporarily and come back when the time was ripe, after all, in the entire Qingzhou, there is no more suitable place to study than Jiuding College.

"Not only do I have to come back, but I also have to go into the inner courtyard!"

Liu Ao's eyes were piercing, and his face was full of determination, "When I become the Martial King, it will be the death of your Qiu Long!"

Late at night, the sky was pitch black, and there was no starlight in sight.

Liu Ao, who was already a high-level martial artist, made a surprise attack and knocked out the disciples guarding the mountain, and then disappeared without a trace.

···

A month later, Hunter City.

Hunter City is the headquarters of the Qingzhou Demon Hunter Guild, and it is also one of the most prosperous cities in Qingzhou.

Here, nine out of ten people are demon hunters.

Of course, demon hunters are also divided into levels...

"Second-level Demon Hunter. An old man handed Liu Ao the jade plate of demon hunter certification in his hand, and laughed softly:

"Liu is welcome to join. ”

Liu Ao was dressed in a gray linen robe, wearing a hat, and a black scarf covering most of his face.

After taking the jade card, Liu Ao came directly to the mission hall that the Demon Hunter Guild and all branches would have.

This is where the core of the industry of really feeding demon hunters lies.

"Offer a reward of 500 spirit stones, and ask for a four-clawed eagle cub. ”

"Offer a reward of 1,000 spirit stones, ask for the demon pill in the body of the purple-winged double-headed lion!"

"With a bounty of 100,000 yuan, go to the Black Wind Mountain in the demon realm and kill the Black Storm Bear King. ”

Liu Ao took a look, the task here is either too difficult or too long, and the suitable task has long been snatched away by others.

"This big brother, do you want to form a team?"

A somewhat familiar voice sounded behind Liu Ao, but Liu Ao couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.

Liu Ao turned around, looked down and saw a woman with a smile on her face, her eyes fiery, "This big brother, we are forming a team to hunt a newly-formed earthworm beast, are you interested in forming a team?"

Liu Ao frowned, and instantly remembered who this woman was.

Tong Ying!

At the beginning, Liu Ao was injured by Zhao Huan in Qingyang City, jumped into the moat and was washed into a wetland, and killed a black-scaled python that had just become a demon.

Then she met Tong Ying and two teammates rushing over, she was almost bullied by her peers, but Liu Ao saved her.

Unexpectedly, I met it again.

However, Liu Ao kept an eye on it.

Qingyang City is extremely far away from Hunter City, and the money needed to take the flying boat is not something that can be easily afforded.

In other words, this Tong Ying is likely to be a fake and down-and-out hunter!

"Sorry, not interested. ”

Liu Ao said indifferently, turned around and walked out of the mission hall.

Tong Ying quickened her pace and grabbed Liu Ao's sleeve, "Big brother, listen to me, this is really a rare opportunity." ”

Liu Ao was in a hurry, and he didn't want to pay attention to Tong Ying, but he heard Tong Ying say anxiously:

"I found the ancient tomb of a half-demon master, don't you really want to form a team?"

The word 'half-demon' was like a thorn in Liu Ao's ears, making Liu Ao's eyes instantly cold.

"Stay away from me!"

Tong Ying trembled in fright, and hurriedly loosened Liu Ao's sleeve, "Big brother, the opportunity is really rare." ”

Liu Ao frowned, "You don't look for so many people, why do you have to pester me?"

Tong Ying pursed her lips, a little embarrassed, "Because other high-level demon hunters ignore me, you are a second-level demon hunter, and your level is not high..."

Liu Ao was full of black lines, "You are a first-level demon hunter, and you can't look down on me, a second-level demon?"

Tong Ying smiled, "How about it, think about it?"

Liu Ao fell silent.

The second-level demon hunter is judged according to Liu Ao's cultivation strength, and the later level will change according to the demon hunting value, in other words, the more demons are killed, the higher the level.

And the higher the level, you can make some requests to the Demon Hunter Guild, which is also the purpose of Liu Ao joining the guild.

"How's it going, big brother?"

Tong Ying looked at Liu Ao expectantly, waiting for Liu Ao to reply.

"I agreed to take a look," Liu Ao nodded, unable to figure out why he agreed.

Tong Ying clenched her fists and jumped up excitedly, "Okay, then let's go, the others are already waiting outside the city." ”

Liu Ao nodded and followed Tong Ying towards the outside of the city.

On the way, Tong Ying began to talk about the deeds of the half-demon.

According to Tong Ying, she heard about the strange things in Hunter City, and knew that a half-demon named Golden Bull had infiltrated the Hunter Guild a hundred years ago, and had become a fifth-level demon hunter of the Hunter Guild, and his strength had reached the Wuhou realm.

But later, the identity of the half-demon named Jin Niu was revealed, and he was hunted down by the senior hunters of the Demon Hunter Guild, and his life and death were finally uncertain.

Tong Ying was very lucky, and accidentally found a place that was suspected to be a golden bull tomb, but he didn't dare to break in alone, so he came to Hunter City to find someone to form a team.

Liu Ao felt that the truth of this story was not high.

After all, how could a half-demon in the Wuhou Realm choose to venture to stay in the most dangerous Hunter City?

It was already five miles out of the city, and I saw two men and a woman waiting in the distance.

A man and a woman dressed in coarse cloth were close together, presumably a hunter couple, with soft faces and gentle expressions, and their weapons were two long swords.

The other man was dressed roughly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a black axe on his back, which exuded a fierce aura.

Seeing Tong Ying approaching with someone, the rugged man's eyes widened, and he said impatiently:

"Little girl, I've been waiting for a long time, when will I leave!"

Tong Ying hurriedly said 'I'm sorry' and looked at the couple again, "Are you ready?"

I saw the man nodding with a smile, "Miss Tong Ying, don't worry, my wife and I have healed from our injuries, we worked together very happily last time, and we should be able to gain something this time." ”

Liu Ao secretly looked at the three of them, and now it seems that the couple and Tong Ying have already cooperated, and the rugged man should be the first time to team up with Tong Ying.

Liu Ao keenly noticed that the rugged man seemed to be very aggressive, but in fact he was thick and thin, and his standing posture had changed slightly, obviously knowing that the couple and Tong Ying had known each other for a long time, and he had become vigilant.

"Since it's a team, then I should always have an understanding of you," the rugged man's voice was like thunder, "Lao Tzu's name is Lei Mu, an intermediate great martial artist." ”

Another man smiled and said:

"My name is Qi Guanyan, and my wife's name is Yunqiu, both of whom are intermediate martial artists. ”

Tong Ying blushed, a little embarrassed to speak, "My name is Tong Ying, an intermediate martial artist." ”

"What!" Lei Mu's eyes widened, "Stinky girl, you are an intermediate martial artist, and you dare to find me to form a team!"

No wonder Lei Mu is angry, most of the people who form a team are quite cultivated, which can not only increase the success rate of the mission, but also not be afraid of being plotted by his teammates.

Tong Ying is just an intermediate martial artist, and if he is placed in the team, he is a living oil bottle.

"Brother Lei Mu, don't be angry," Qi Guanyan smiled and waved his hand, "Miss Tong Ying's cultivation is not high, but she has special skills and can sense danger, which will be of great help to us." ”

"Perceived danger?" Reimu frowned, "Really?"

Liu Ao didn't look at it, his expression was indifferent.

When he was in the Demon Suppression Army, Liu Ao had a brother under his hand who could sense danger.

It was because of that brother that Liu Ao and his subordinates successfully avoided the big demon who broke into the defense line several times, and did not end up with no bones.
