I can strengthen

Chapter 193

Luo Yan nodded secretly.

Closing the curtain, I began to ponder in my heart.

For alchemy, he can only refine common pills.

The elixir used by the immortal cultivator, the elixir furnace, the ground fire, the elixir formula... There are too many spiritual stones that need to be invested in advance, and he can't even afford to rent a cave, so how can he have the money to invest in alchemy?
The same is true for refining weapons and cultivating spirit plants and spirit beasts.

He invested too much in the early stage, and he couldn't afford it now.

As for serving as a guard for someone... It is true that no capital is required, but if you think about it, you will know that the money will come very slowly, which does not meet his requirements.

and so.

He will either pick up black jobs, or go overseas to hunt monsters.

The so-called black work is mostly shady activities such as assassination.

Not to mention the danger.

Asking Luo Yan to kill strangers for money, he simply can't do it.

As for hunting monsters overseas.

When he chatted with Wei Ming, he once talked about the topic of monsters.

In this area.

There are many monsters in the sea area, and those sea areas are generally occupied by the terrifying Daoji Realm monsters and even the Yuandan Realm monsters.

Centered on those terrifying monsters.

There will be a lot of monsters in the surrounding sea area.

These monsters are violent and bloodthirsty, and they often attack the island and devour the human race.

And the human race naturally often hunts and hunts monsters, and sells their flesh, flesh, blood, and blood in exchange for cultivation resources.

The custom of hunting monsters has always been prevalent in the Star Sea and even the Chaos Demon Sea next door.

Only now.

On this day, an organization called 'Yaobao' appeared in Xinghai.

Threatening to slaughter monsters will anger the big monsters dormant in the deep sea, leading to extremely terrifying consequences.

They do not allow monks to hunt monsters.

Even check around.

Once a monk stepped into a sea area where monsters were prevalent, they would extort a huge sum of spirit stones. If they didn't pay, they would drive them away at least, or kill them at worst.

In short, this demon protection organization is overbearing and domineering.

Letting go out to sea to hunt monsters adds a lot of risk.

This is what Luo Yan heard when chatting with Wei Ming. It was meant to be a fun thing, but he didn't expect it to be closely related to him now.

"Forget it, let's go hunting monsters."

Hunting monsters must be extremely dangerous.

Luo Yan also wants to be safe, but safety can't make money.

Without capital, he can't even make money from money.

After making up his mind, Luo Yan looked at the boy again and asked, "How to go out to sea to hunt monsters?"

He was troubled.

For him, who is a newcomer to cultivating immortals, his eyes are really smeared, and he doesn't know anything.

Others told him to hunt monsters.

But he didn't even know where to hunt.

"It's simple. There is a Demon Hunting Pavilion in the city. You only need ten spirit stones to join the Demon Hunting Pavilion and become a Demon Hunter."

"The Hunting Demon Pavilion will not only matchmaking and let the immortal masters form a team, but will also transport the immortal masters back and forth between the Demon Hunting Sea Area and Lieyang Island."

"On the way back and forth, the Hunting Demon Pavilion can keep the immortal masters safe and sound. Of course, the immortal masters also need to give [-]% of the harvest to the Demon Hunting Pavilion."

The young man spoke eloquently without any hesitation.

Hear the boy's answer.

Luo Yan frowned.

Forget about the demon protection, now there is another demon hunting pavilion?
He frowned and said, "Can't you go by yourself?"

"It seems to be possible, but it is said that going back and forth is extremely dangerous." The boy said truthfully.

These news are all from his hearsay, how would he know the specifics?

"I see."

Luo Yan nodded and sighed inwardly.

The Demon Hunting Pavilion is the Demon Hunting Pavilion.

Big deal, wait until he gets familiar with the Monster Beast Sea Territory and the route back and forth, and then go alone.

soon.

Lieyang Mountain is here.

Luo Yan waved the boy back and looked towards Lieyang Mountain.

Standing in front of Lieyang Mountain, I realized that the mountain wall of Lieyang Mountain is not vertical, but presents an angle of about [-] degrees.

On the mountain wall, there is a cave every few hundred meters.

It's like steps.

Rows spread upwards.

And the higher the top, the higher the concentration of aura.

It was dusk at the moment.

Luo Yan saw a few monks going in and out of the cave, and wanted to go up to have a chat, but seeing that their faces were cold and turned a blind eye to him, he had no choice but to extinguish this idea.

He took out the jade pendant, glanced at the number on it, and then followed the number to find his cave.

Not long. .

He came to his cave.

Looking down, there are three layers of caves below.

But looking up, there are more than 20 floors.

The location of his cave is not even the middle of the mountain, it can only be regarded as the foot of the mountain.

He shrugged and looked towards his cave.

I saw a stone gate standing in front of me, protruding high from the mountain wall.

At first glance.

It's like a huge tombstone erected.

Luo Yan shook his head again, looked around on the stone gate, then took the jade pendant and pressed it towards a depression on the stone gate.

Jade pendant fit.

The formation on the stone gate was activated.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a low roar, dust filled the air, and the heavy stone door slowly opened.

Luo Yan looked into the cave.

I saw a gloomy passage leading directly to the interior of the mountain.

Indistinctly, a stone chamber can be seen in the depths.

Luo Yan walked in, closed the stone door first, and then walked through the ten-meter-long corridor to block the middle of the stone room.

The stone room is simple.

A stone table and some chairs.

In addition to this stone room, there is another stone room further in, in which there is a futon, a stone bed, and nothing else.

The cave is clean, and the interior is almost spotless.

It is also extremely simple, and it seems that it is specially prepared for monks.

Monks practice.

Absorb the aura of heaven and earth.

Reiki nourishes the whole body without sleep or food.

Just condense mana.

Therefore, monks retreat for three years or two years, so naturally they don't need the extravagance of the cave.

Luo Yan looked at the cave, and at the same time spread his spiritual thoughts to feel the aura around him.

I saw particles of spiritual energy cheering, the concentration was [-]% higher than that outside the cave, and more than double that of Yuan Cang Island.

"The place of wealth and law, this place is indeed extremely important."

Luo Yan's eyes showed emotion.

Don't underestimate this number.

If you take a long look, it seems that Wei Mingna and other monks practiced in Yuancang Island for one year before they reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. If they lived in this cave, he only needed 30 years to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining.

It can cut the time in half!
And how many 30 years are there in the life of a Qi Refining Cultivator? !

"The low-grade cave is [-]% higher than the spiritual energy outside the cave, and the high-grade cave..."

Luo Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He became more determined in his intention to go out to sea to hunt monsters.

He wants to make a lot of money, and then move into the upper-grade cave to practice with peace of mind, and wait for the Tianxing Palace to recruit disciples in ten years' time!
"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Hunting Demon Pavilion. Tonight, I will go to that square market first."

Luo Yan settled down.

Come to the futon in the inner room, sit down cross-legged, condense mana, and wait for the arrival of night.

Time passed.

Night came quietly.

At a certain moment, Luo Yan suddenly felt something, and a pulling force hit him from an unknown place, covering his whole body.

He can resist.

Also obedient.

"This should be the traction force of Nafang City."

Luo Yan heard from Wei Ming.

Staying on Lieyang Island, as long as there is mana in the body, it will be pulled at night.

As long as you obey, you can enter Fangshi.

Luo Yan was already curious about this market, so he directly chose to obey.

next second.

It was black before his eyes.

When he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in a gray and misty place.

"This is Fangshi?"

Luo Yan stood still and looked around.

There is a strange gray fog everywhere, the sky is like this, and so is the ground.

In this gray mist, all the monks were also shrouded in a layer of gray mist, only to see the person, strength, shape, appearance and even gender.

"interesting."

Luo Yan murmured, feeling novel.

As soon as the words came out, he found that even his own voice had changed.

"With such means, it's no wonder that Lieyang Island can attract nearby monks to gather and become the core of the surrounding sea area."

Luo Yan is well aware of the importance of safety.

If you are safe, everyone will come here especially to do business with you.

And with everyone here, Lieyang Island will naturally flourish.

He sighed, and then walked around the market.

Talisman.

magic weapon.

spirit beast.

Ding Furnace.

All kinds of natural treasures.

Luo Yan wandered around for a long time, dazzled.

In particular, the various spirit beasts sold were an eye-opener for him.

For example, the lucky toad that can increase luck.

The singing is euphemistic, and it moves the soul. It is only a mermaid the size of a palm.

Within a thousand miles, there are sound transmission conch that can transmit sound and so on.

Even Luo Yan took a fancy to a spirit insect called Ghost Face Ice Crystal Silkworm.

After this kind of spirit insect reaches adulthood, it can spit out ice crystal silk.

And ice crystal silk can be used to refine robes, which is an extremely precious spiritual material.

He originally planned to buy some worm eggs to go back and cultivate them slowly to earn some extra money.

Except for this ghost-faced ice crystal silkworm.

Luo Yan also picked out a physical training method called "Heavenly Demon King Body" in the Lieyang Chamber of Commerce.

This exercise is divided into three layers.

Every time one level is practiced, one's own strength can be doubled.

Unfortunately.

He only has 13 yuan of spirit stones left on him, and he will need to spend another ten yuan to go to the Hunting Demon Pavilion tomorrow, so he can only satisfy his eyesight.

After shopping for half a day.

With a thought in his mind, Luo Yan left the square city and returned to the cave.

Looking at the quiet and simple Dongfu in front of him, think about the lively scene in the square city.

For a moment, Luo Yan had a dreamlike feeling.

He shook his head.

Sit down cross-legged, then close your eyes, and start to condense mana with [Small Zhou Tian Breathing Technique].

……

……

The next morning.

Luo Yan came to the Monster Hunting Pavilion early.

The Demon Hunting Pavilion is located on the edge of the port. It has three floors and is huge and magnificent.

As soon as Luo Yan walked in, a protruding maid greeted her.

"My immortal master, do you want to become a demon hunter?"

The maid's eyes flickered and her voice was gentle, she was actually a female Qi refining cultivator.

"Yes." Luo Yan nodded.

"Fairy Master, follow me." The maid turned around and walked towards the counter.

Luo Yan followed behind her.

Not long after, they came to the counter.

There was a middle-aged man behind the counter, with shocking fluctuations in spiritual power, sitting there, like a sea eye, constantly sucking in the surrounding spiritual energy.

Luo Yan's eyelids twitched slightly.

This is a qigong method.

Such fluctuations in spiritual power.

The cultivation of this middle-aged man...

I'm afraid that he has reached the tenth level of Qi Refining Realm Dzogchen!
He secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.

But he didn't expect the Hunting Demon Pavilion to have such a background.

"Uncle Li, this immortal master wants to become a demon hunter." The maid looked at the middle-aged man with a cute and respectful voice.

"Boy, hand over ten spirit stones, and you will be a member of my Demon Hunting Pavilion." The middle-aged man didn't look at the maid, but looked directly at Luo Yan.

"Yes, senior."

Without hesitation, Luo Yan took out ten spirit stones, lined them up, and placed them on the counter.

The middle-aged man called Uncle Li rolled up the Lingshi in his sleeve robe, and then threw a token to Luo Yan, saying: "This is the token of the demon hunter. With this token, you can go to the Demon Hunter Pavilion with me." Go hunt monsters."

talking.

He continued: "I still have a lot of good things in the Demon Hunting Pavilion, such as the spirit herbs that attract monsters, such as the maze array that traps monsters, do you need them?"

"Spirit Herb? Lost Formation?" Luo Yan looked curious.

"At first glance, you are a young child. You haven't gone out to sea to hunt monsters, have you?" Uncle Li chuckled, with a playful expression on his face.

"Yes."

Luo Yan nodded, then cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "Senior, please clarify."

Seeing Luo Yan being so respectful, Uncle Li sat up straight and began to speak eloquently.

"Do you think there are many monsters overseas?"

"Where are you going to find the monsters from Wuling Vanilla?"

"There is no maze array to reverse the perception of the monster beast, let the monster circle in circles within a certain range, and the monster escapes, can you catch up?"

"These two things are necessary props for a demon hunter."

"There are also some other props, such as powerful magic tools and talismans specifically aimed at monsters, and even some poisonous pills that can be swallowed by monsters, which can weaken or even directly kill monsters."

"Don't think about it, you don't have the money to buy these things."

Uncle Li looked at Luo Yan with a smile, as if he had already seen through Luo Yan.

"Senior, how much are the spirit herbs and the lost array worth?" Luo Yan asked in a low voice after deliberating for a moment.

He felt that Uncle Li was right.

The lost array is not necessary, but the spirit vanilla must be prepared.

otherwise.

It's like fishing without bait.

If you learn from Jiang Taigong, those who wish to take the bait?
The difficulty is too great!

"Lingxiangcao is a bundle of ten spirit stones, and a hundred spirit stones is a set of formation flags." Uncle Li tapped the counter with his fingers and said with squinted eyes.

"..."

Luo Yan smiled wryly in his heart.

I thought that hunting monsters with my own fists would be enough.

Unexpectedly, money is still required.

"Forget it, if there is no spiritual herb, there will be no spiritual herb. When you get to the place, just ask your fellow Taoists to borrow a few."

Luo Yan made up his mind and planned to leave.

At this time, Uncle Li spoke again.

"If you can't afford spirit herbs and lost arrays, you can also join other people's hunting squads."

Hearing this, Luo Yan thought for a while, then turned to look at Uncle Li: "Senior, can you introduce me to join the demon hunting team?"

He likes to travel alone.

But now he can't even afford the spiritual herb that absorbs monsters, it's better to be with the team, as it's the first time, and accumulate experience first.

"Tell me first, what is your strength? What are you good at?"

Uncle Li raised his eyebrows, looked Luo Yan up and down, and said: "I see that the aura fluctuations in your body are extremely weak, but your qi and blood are not bad. Could it be that you are taking the path of physical training?"

"Senior's eyes are like torches."

Luo Yan remained calm, complimented, and said: "The strength of this junior is about the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining. He is good at physical combat, and can attack and defend."

"So..." Uncle Li nodded, and said, "I'll introduce you to a team later, you wait at the side first, and when the time is up, we will set off together."

"Thank you, senior." Luo Yan cupped his hands in thanks.

"This is what I should do in the Monster Hunting Pavilion. There is nothing to thank." Uncle Li waved his hand with a disapproving expression.

Next.

Luo Yan was waiting in the Demon Hunting Pavilion.

There were quite a few monks waiting with him, some alone and some in groups.

The aura fluctuations on these monks are quite powerful.

Luo Yan reckoned that most of them were between the fourth and eighth levels of Qi Refining.

This is also normal.

Going down, the strength is weak, and I guess I don't have the guts to go overseas to hunt monsters.

Going up, the strength is strong, and you can go alone, and there is no need to go with the Hunting Demon Pavilion, just give up [-]% of the harvest.

"Boy, are you the body-refining cultivator that Uncle Li mentioned?"

Luo Yan is closing his eyes to practice Qi.

Beside him, suddenly there was a carefree voice.

He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see three people coming together.

Two men and one woman.

A short, rather simple and honest man.

A young man with a thin figure and a feminine temperament.

As for the last one, it was a fresh and graceful woman in an apricot yellow robe.

"It's me." Luo Yan nodded and looked at the three of them carefully.

Judging from the faint spiritual power fluctuations of the three of them, the strength of the three of them should be around the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining.

While Luo Yan was looking at the three of them, the three of them were also looking at Luo Yan.

The eyes of the woman in the apricot-yellow robe lit up slightly when she saw Luo Yan.

Seeing Luo Yan's strong body, the big man nodded in satisfaction.

Only the young man glanced at the woman and frowned slightly.

"The muscles are quite strong, like someone who can resist..."

The big man opened his mouth, just about to agree to Luo Yan joining the team.

But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by the young man.

"I don't think so, his cultivation base is too low."

The young man frowned, looked up at Luo Yan, and asked lightly, "Do you have the third level of Qi Refining?"

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows.

But he still shook his head, and said truthfully: "No, but I major in physique, and my strength should be about the same as that of fellow Taoists."

"Sun Zhuo, this fellow Taoist is a body cultivator, how can strength be measured by cultivation?"

In her opinion, Luo Yan is an excellent teammate who can defend them against monsters.

"Body training? He doesn't even have the third level of Qi refining, how strong is his physical body? How can he be our teammate?" Sun Zhuo said coldly.

His voice was loud, and for a while, many monks looked over and looked at Luo Yan up and down.

The third level of Qi Refining is undoubtedly an extremely low level of cultivation.

So soon, bursts of laughter came from around.

"Is there a mistake? I don't have the third level of Qi Refining, and I want to go to the sea to hunt monsters?"

"Isn't this cultivation base too low?"

"Girl, did you speak for this person because of his outstanding appearance?"

"Girl, I advise you to change to a teammate. This person's cultivation base is too low, how strong can he be?"

"It looks like he's still a newcomer."

For a while, ridicule was everywhere.

Luo Yan looked around, frowned slightly, and said nothing.

The woman's face turned red and she was a little annoyed.

Only Sun Zhuo, seeing that the monks around him echoed his opinion, couldn't help but feel a little proud.

But on the surface, he still looked calm and composed.

"Youlan, fellow daoists, you can't be wrong. Going out to hunt in the sea is extremely dangerous. We should choose a reliable teammate."

"As for this fellow Taoist..."

He looked at Luo Yan with a sincere expression: "I'm sorry, what I said just now may have offended you."

"But I still say that going out to sea to hunt is extremely dangerous. You are a rookie, and your cultivation base is too low. It's better to think carefully before deciding whether to go out to sea or not."

Sun Zhuo's voice fell.

Around, there were several other monks' voices.

"That's right, little brother, going out to sea to hunt monsters is not as easy as you think."

"Just listen to fellow Taoist Sun Zhuo. When your cultivation level improves, it won't be too late to go to sea."

Listening to the words coming from around, Luo Yan felt a trace of helplessness on his face.

His lips moved, and he was about to explain.

At this time, Uncle Li's voice came from a distance.

"A bunch of trash, take care of yourselves first, with your little cultivation, if you can catch the little brother's punch, it will be considered a success!"

He snorted coldly, and said again: "What's wrong with not having the third level of Qi Refining? This little brother has extraordinary blood and a strong physical body. With his physical body alone, he can beat you to death without using a little mana."

When Uncle Li spoke, the group of people were slightly taken aback, and then they all came back to their senses.

As their eyes flickered, they spoke one after another.

"Extraordinary bloodline? Could it be that, like the island owner, he has a special bloodline?"

"Hiss~ It turned out to be a special bloodline, no wonder...the strength of a monk with a special bloodline cannot be measured by cultivation base."

"We're blind."

"A bunch of hindsight! This little brother dares to go to sea, so he naturally has his own confidence, so do you need to worry about it?"

a time.

Public opinion once again turned to Luo Yan's side.

Luo Yan touched his nose and gave Uncle Li a grateful look.

As for Sun Zhuo, his smile became forced.

He glanced at the woman with a strange expression, his eyes flashed, and he simply cupped his hands at Luo Yan:
"It seems that I underestimated Fellow Daoist. Since Uncle Li has spoken, you should join our team."

"But let's say it in advance, we need you to stand at the forefront and resist the monsters for us."

Luo Yan thought for a while, then nodded in response: "Yes."
