Confucian Sword Fairy
Chapter 83
Chapter 83
Outside the door, Lin Cheng smiled a little.
The same is true for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong behind them. They seem to be more enthusiastic than last time.
Obviously because of the last guess, the two of them had a lot of respect for Song Zhishu, and they were no longer as indifferent as before.
And they came to say goodbye.
"The three fellow Taoists are leaving?"
Song Zhishu opened his mouth, a little surprised in his words. The three of them were basically in Qingzhou City to accept the task of Wanshige, go out to kill monsters, but they will come back in two or three days at most, and now they come here to say goodbye, afraid that they will be away for a while.
"Yes."
"That task is about to start, it will take some time, and it may not be able to return in the short term."
Lin Cheng smiled, explained the reason, and continued after a pause: "Song Daoyou, what are you thinking about, do you want to join us?"
Nearly a month later, Song Zhishu never took the initiative to come. He was a little disappointed, thinking that the other party might decide not to be together, but Lin Cheng still did not give up completely, and planned to ask one last time.
After all, the task is indeed somewhat difficult. If a strong foreign aid joins in, it will be much easier for the three of them.
The eyes of Wang Chong and Li Xiansong also had a hint of anticipation. The Foundation Establishment cultivator from the aristocratic sect is indeed worthy of their repeated invitations.
Hearing this, Song Zhishu was silent at first and did not speak. Indeed, he basically stayed in the inn for a period of time and never went out. He was either cultivating or engraving precious jade. Although he also gained something, he could not do other things. ideas are somewhat different.
To know what to do, to know what to do, there must be action.
And he could also see that these three people were indeed invited sincerely, otherwise he wouldn't have come here on purpose before leaving.
As for the reason, Song Zhishu can also guess some, maybe because he values his own strength.
Although it has been emphasized before that they are casual cultivators, after all, they have lived in Taihao Jianzong for more than ten years. It is difficult for Song Zhishu to get rid of the characteristics of Zongmen disciples in a short time, and Zongmen disciples will indeed be surpassed by ordinary casual cultivators. Have a look.
As for the task mentioned by the three of them, it has been explained before that the reward is generous, so you can really give it a try.
What's more, there are only more than 20 of the noble righteousness in my body, the number is too small, and even the Lingyuan Pill needs a longer time to refine.
Go out and kill monsters, you can make up for it, and open the next jade box at the same time.
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhi raised his head: "Your fellow Daoist Lin has repeatedly invited you. If I refuse, it will be a bit unreasonable."
"Then Daoist Song agreed?"
Lin Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and there was some surprise in his words.
Originally, he wanted to give up, but he never thought that there would be a bright future.
"Yes."
Song Zhi nodded with a smile.
"it is good."
After getting the definite answer, Lin Cheng immediately beamed with joy, feeling that such a long time was finally not in vain.
But soon he restrained his smile, with a serious look on his face: "But Song Daoyou, there are some things that I have to say first, that is, after the completion of this mission, according to the old rules of the three of us, we will all be divided equally. , Of course, if Song Daoyou contributes a lot by then, you can get more depending on the situation, and you can discuss it."
Before the official start, the most important things must be clearly explained, so as to save time and trouble.
And equal distribution can minimize disputes, and it is also the way of survival for casual cultivators.
But Lin Cheng also knows that there are some things that cannot be said too much.
What if the other party does make a big effort and is an indispensable person in the team?Definitely going to take more.
"Just listen to Fellow Daoist Lin."
Song Zhishu had no objection to this, on the contrary, he admired Lin Chengneng's attitude of saying things well in advance.
Inside the sect, disciples are bound by rules, so they dare not go too far.
But casual cultivators outside are different. There are not a few people who turn their backs in the middle of the process, or even commit crimes secretly. Therefore, the foundation of forming a team is to rely on honesty, and to speak clearly and thoroughly in advance.
Walking outside, Lin Cheng obviously knew this very well, so he said it.
And his words made the two people next to him turn their heads to look at Song Zhishu.
Obviously very concerned about this matter.
"no problem."
Song Zhishu did not hesitate or refuse.
The biggest purpose of my trip is not to earn spirit stones.
But if you want to go out for a walk, killing monsters is just to gain Confucian righteousness, so the allocation of spirit stones is not very fussy.
If you really care about this, why not engrave precious jade in the inn, and earn more than going out?And it's safe.
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
Lin Cheng was completely relieved when he saw Song Zhishu agreeing.
Some disciples of the sect think highly of themselves and despise casual cultivators, and will be aggressive in terms of task income, but Song Zhishu doesn't care, which makes him very happy, and at the same time feels that he has found the right person.
The same was true for the other two, who felt that the Song Zhishu in front of them was really different from the disciples of the aristocratic family they had seen before, and they had a good impression of them.
Lin Cheng smiled, and said again: "So, Daoyou Song, wait in the inn for three days first, and prepare at the same time. After three days, we will meet at the gate of Dongcheng. What do you think, Daoyou Song?"
The three days were spent on preparations, to buy some pills and talismans, which was their previous plan.
"Okay, see you at the gate of Dongcheng in three days."
Song Zhishu nodded, he had already prepared a lot of things in Taihao Sword Sect, everything he should have, but he didn't have anything to prepare, but it just so happened that these few days can be used to stabilize his cultivation, after all, he just broke through.
Several people chatted for a while, Lin Cheng and the others said nothing more, and left the aisle.
Song Zhishu closed the door tightly and began to meditate with breath adjustment.
The mid-term cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It does take some getting used to.
At the same time, he sorted out the talismans and various healing elixirs in his hand, in case of emergencies.
Soon, three days passed by.
In the early morning of this day, the sun rose.
The clouds and mist that shrouded Qingzhou City have not yet dissipated, bringing a little coolness.
Song Zhishu directly checked out of the guest room early in the morning. After packing up his things, he walked straight to the agreed place.
At the gate of the east city, the three of them had already been waiting here. It was Lin Cheng and his party.
"Brother Lin, the price of the Frost Talisman has increased again recently. I didn't prepare much this time, so I bought a few speed talismans and some pills. I may have to borrow some from you." He opened his mouth, his complexion a bit bitter.
For casual cultivators like them, the spirit stones will be used up if they have the basics, and there is not much left, because they are all used for cultivation.
"It's the same here. I didn't buy talismans or anything, but fortunately, the price of the formation stone has been reduced, so it's enough."
Li Xiansong also spoke. He is the weakest among the three in terms of strength, but he has minored in formations. The key is very useful, so his position in the team is very important.
"No problem, as long as there are enough things, you don't have to take too much."
Lin Cheng smiled, and was about to say something more, but soon saw a familiar figure not far away, and said immediately: "Song Daoyou is here."
"Three Daoists."
At this moment, Song Zhishu spoke softly. He was dressed in white, with a straight body, but he looked very low-key, with no decorations on his body. He bowed slightly before and after he approached, and continued: "When are we going to leave?"
"Song Daoyou is not busy, there is one more person."
Lin Cheng returned the gift, saying that there was still one person who hadn't come, and he had to wait.
"it is good."
Song Zhishu nodded, and didn't think there was anything wrong. The more people there were, it meant that this mission was not only dangerous, but also that the reward might be higher than expected. After all, if there is one more person, he would get an extra share. Besides, he was just joining this time, not taking the lead. Naturally, we have to listen to Lin Cheng's arrangement.
"It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Song is also here, so I'll briefly explain what the few of us are good at, so that we can cooperate better."
Lin Cheng saw that there was still a while before the appointed time, so he said directly: "Brother Wang is good at flying swords, and his methods are extremely fast. If you add the speed talisman, the power can be increased further. At the same time, Brother Wang is also good at tracking the breath of monsters. "
"Brother Li is a top-rank formation mage. Over the years, he has mastered no less than a hundred formations. If he is given time, the monsters who have just entered the foundation will suffer."
Speaking of this, Lin Cheng smiled: "As for me, I was born with supernatural power and a strong physique since I was a child, and I can fight with monsters in the same realm."
Song Zhishu nodded silently upon hearing the words.
The three have their own strengths and complement each other, so it's no wonder they can form a team.
Sometimes when going out to kill monsters, not only strong strength is enough, the key is to cooperate, and a good cooperation can often show unexpected effects.
At this moment, Lin Cheng and the others also turned their heads.
Song Zhishu smiled and cupped his hands slightly: "I don't know how to use formations, but I also have some other methods that can cooperate with the three fellow Taoists."
As for what he is good at, Song Zhishu really can't say, but if he wants to talk about it, it has involved a little bit, but if he speaks directly like this, I am afraid that it will cause displeasure to others, so it is better to keep a low profile.
"Song Daoyou's means, we can rest assured."
Lin Cheng said, disciples of aristocratic families and sects are definitely not comparable to ordinary casual cultivators.
Especially Song Zhishu didn't say what he was good at, the more it made him feel extraordinary. Such people usually hide their secrets.
"Friend Lin."
And at this moment, a voice suddenly came.
Song Zhishu and the three of them cast their gazes, and saw a young man not far away, with a smile on his face, elegant temperament, and extraordinary handsomeness. The man's hair was tied up high, and he looked elegant, giving people the feeling of being in the spring breeze. Dzogchen on the ninth level of Qi training.
At the same time, in this human body, there is a different kind of aura that is completely different from that of a practitioner.
But his appearance made the eyes of Lin Cheng and the others brighten up immediately, and Lin Cheng went straight over and bowed slightly: "Mr. Chen, you are finally here."
"Confucian righteousness, is a scholar."
Song Zhishu could see the origin of this person at a glance, not only as simple as a monk, but also practiced Confucianism and Taoism.
As for the realm, it is estimated that it is about the middle stage of Zhishen Realm.
Unexpectedly, Qingzhou City will also have Confucian scholars who have entered the country.
Song Zhishu was curious, but after thinking about it, he thought it was normal. The sages were transformed, and Confucianism was no longer suppressed. Even a fairy school like Taihao Sword Sect cultivates disciples who can read, let alone outside?
"Song Daoyou, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Jingyun. He is a gentleman from the Academy in Qingzhou City. He has a very high reputation."
Lin Cheng led people over, and continued: "Mr. Chen is a double cultivator of Taoism and Confucianism, and Confucian righteousness is bred in his body. With Mr.'s help, our mission on this trip will surely be successful."
He talked about each gentleman, and his words were full of admiration. The same was true for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong, standing behind him full of admiration.
Today's Confucian scholars all have a high status and are highly respected, which is the case in any place.
Just like Qingzhou City, there is also an academy, and many casual practitioners will go there to study and practice essays.
The purpose is to see if I have the talent to become a scholar.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Jingyun appeared, he seemed to be the center of everyone.
At this moment, Song Zhishu bowed with a smile after hearing the introduction: "Mr. Chen."
Chen Jingyun returned the courtesy, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.
"Mr. Chen, this is Song Zhishu Song Daoyou, a monk who established the foundation." Lin Cheng, who was standing aside, also spoke immediately, because he knew that scholars had arrogance, and the same was true of disciples from the sect.
In their team, Chen Jingzhou is undoubtedly very important, and Song Zhishu can't afford to offend him. He hopes that the two can get along peacefully.
"Song Zhishu?"
And when Chen Jingzhou heard the name, there was a hint of consternation in his eyes.
He looked Song Zhishu up and down, but in the end he didn't see the clue. After thinking for a while, he nodded again, and then looked at Lin Chengdao: "Lin Daoyou, since everyone is here, as the leader, you can talk about this time." arrange it."
"it is good."
Lin Cheng cupped his hands slightly, cleared his throat and said, "Our goal this time is to collect a kind of elixir, named Ziye Pantao, which grows in Yuhua Peak, which belongs to the Qingyun Mountain Range. What kind of monsters you will encounter, the key is that there is a group of monsters living next to the Purple Leaf Flat Peach, the number of monsters is very large, and the strength of the leader is even comparable to that of Foundation Establishment."
"So what we have to do is to block the attack of the fire-pattern monkey while picking the purple-leaf flat peaches, and the goal of the mission is at least ten."
"As long as this amount is completed, the excess can be sold to Wanshige at the market price, and there will be corresponding rewards."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had solemn expressions, even Chen Jingyun.
And Song Zhishu finally knew why Lin Cheng kept emphasizing that the mission would be dangerous. The reason was because of the fire-pattern monkey, which is a herd monster with high speed and agility, and more importantly, it is also extremely alert. Very difficult.
Especially when they are in groups, they even formulate tactics, which can be said to be very troublesome.
Of course, the higher the risk, the greater the reward.
Purple leaf flat peaches are very valuable, and can be sold for thousands of spirit stones, not to mention that the more picked ones can be sold to Wanshi Pavilion, plus the reward, the harvest this time is at least more than [-] spirit stones.
Even if there are five people on average, there are still [-] spirit stones, which is quite a good income for casual cultivators.
"Do you all understand?" Lin Cheng glanced at everyone.
"learn."
Song Zhishu and others all nodded and had no objection to this.
"Okay, it's not too late, let's go."
Lin Cheng didn't say any more, he directly summoned the flying sword, leaped into the sky, and led the four people present to the Qingyun Mountain Range.
The Qingyun Mountains are nearly a thousand miles away from Qingzhou City, and it would take at least a day for a normal journey, but the weakest ones present are those at the ninth level of Qi training, and the flying speed is very fast, so it won't take long.
Of course, in order to take care of everyone, Song Zhishu deliberately flew slower, otherwise it would only be faster.
Along the way, he also found that when Lin Cheng and the others were controlling the sword, they only used the magic power in their bodies and did not use the talisman. Obviously, he was a little reluctant and wanted to use this thing at a critical moment.
Chen Jingyun, on the other hand, used a spiritual light talisman halfway to ensure that he was in full bloom at all times.
After three hours.
Five people with swords flying in the air, the speed slowly decreased.
Song Zhishu stared ahead, and saw a huge mountain range not far away, spreading continuously, with no end in sight, and clouds and mist shrouded in the depths, and in the mountain forest below, there were monsters neighing and making terrifying screams. Started a group of flying monsters.
"Let's start walking here. There are powerful monsters deep in the Qingyun Mountains, and they can be easily spotted in the sky."
Lin Cheng observed the situation in the distance, and immediately called everyone to come down.
The Qingyun Mountains are very large, even if they are on the periphery, they are still accompanied by dangers, especially the targets in the air are too big, so they have to be careful.
Song Zhishu and the others naturally had no opinion on this, and fell into a mountain road.
Wang Chong inspected for a while and confirmed that there was no danger ahead.
Everyone set off again and entered the mountains.
In the mountains and forests, there are towering old trees and overgrown bushes, and the cries of various monsters can be heard from time to time.
Five figures passed by quickly, while carefully observing the surroundings. Everyone was highly focused to prevent possible accidents.
Everyone talked along the way, and Song Zhishu also began to understand the situation in Qingyun Mountains, but Chen Jingyun was very silent, basically saying nothing.
Lin Cheng and others thought it was nothing, thinking that this was the pride that scholars should have.
"Yuhua Peak is to the east of Qingyun Mountains, about three hundred miles away. At our current speed, we can reach it before dark. To get rid of the poisonous miasma, I have a miasma-removing talisman on my body, which can ensure our safe passage without wasting mana."
As the leader of the team, Lin Cheng was naturally well-prepared and had all kinds of talismans that could be used.
The miasma removal talisman can prevent miasma from entering the body. This kind of miasma is very troublesome. If a mortal is infected, he will die instantly. Even a monk needs to expel it with magic power after inhaling it. In order to ensure that everyone is in a perfect state, What has to be done has to be done.
After all, this is outside, and accidents may happen at any time.
"it is good."
Li Xiansong and Li Xiansong opened their mouths and each received a miasma-eliminating talisman. The three of them had been friends for many years and their hearts were connected.
"I have Confucian righteousness to protect me, and mere miasma can't help me." Chen Jingyun shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't need it, because Confucian righteousness is indeed the bane of all evil things.
"Friend Daoist Lin, I don't want it anymore, I have my own means to resist miasma."
Song Zhishu also shook his head. With his current strength, he really didn't need to worry about the so-called miasma.
Not to mention anything else, just the awe-inspiring righteousness in the body can completely dissolve it.
And the miasma-removing talisman is not expensive.
But Song Zhishu didn't want to take other people's things for nothing.
"This..." Lin Cheng hesitated, Chen Jingyun was naturally not worried, but Song Zhishu didn't need it now either.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lin, my Confucian righteousness can just help one more person." Chen Jingyun spoke at this time, saying that he would take action at critical times, so there was no need to worry.
"Okay then, let's move on."
Seeing this, Lin Cheng didn't say much, and continued walking towards the destination with the map.
Another hour or so later, the sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun was slowly being covered by thick clouds, and the light in the mountains and forests was also weakening. It seemed that the sky would be dark in the next moment.
At this moment, the five of them reached the edge of a cliff, and there was a rushing river under the cliff, and patches of water mist evaporated.
And on the other side of the cliff, there is a huge straight mountain, thousands of meters high, with almost no footholds, it is so steep that it is impossible for ordinary people to climb it, but it is nothing to monks.
It is the destination of this trip, Yuhua Peak.
However, it was already dark at this time. Under Lin Cheng's suggestion, everyone decided to rest for one night and set off tomorrow.
The task rewards are very generous, but life is more important. For casual cultivators, they must pay attention to it all the time.
Soon, Wang Chong went to inspect the surrounding areas, and at the same time sprinkled some medicinal powder to get rid of poisonous insects and beasts.
Li Xiansong set up a simple spirit-gathering array at the place where the people were stationed, as a way to adjust their breathing. Lin Cheng was also planning plans for climbing the peak and picking purple-leaf flat peaches tomorrow, and the three of them were very busy.
Only Song Zhishu and Chen Jingyun had nothing to do.
Song Zhishu was fine, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
As for Chen Jingyun sitting aside, holding a book in his hand, he began to read carefully, sometimes chanting words, which were Confucian classics.
Seeing this scene, the three of Lin Cheng, who had finished their work, couldn't help showing envy in their eyes. They also tried reading and writing before, but it was a pity that their talents were limited and it was difficult to understand, so they gave up.
Otherwise, if you can become a Confucian scholar, even if you are just a casual cultivator, you will be looked at highly by others.
It's not even a problem to become a gentleman in a certain family of cultivators.
This is the case with Chen Jingyun.
Even though the nine levels of qi training are perfect, he is respected in Qingzhou City, and some foundation-building monks are his students.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day soon came.
After resting for the whole night, the five people were all refreshed, and they got together again to discuss the plan.
Everyone didn't say much anymore, they just stood up with their swords and started heading towards Yuhua Mountain.
The mountain here is dangerous, and there is miasma in it, so everyone is very careful, and they don't stop halfway, but go straight to the top of the mountain. Although Yuhua Mountain is only a peak, the range of the mountain top is also very large, and there are forests on it , There are also monsters haunting.
But these monsters are not strong, so they can be solved easily.
Song Zhishu didn't do anything, because he knew that monsters that were too weak could gain little Confucian righteousness.
In addition, after slaying monsters, you can still get materials from them, which belong to the person who slays them, so naturally I will not strengthen them.
Everyone continued on the road, and it took three hours to reach the core of Yuhua Mountain.
"Everyone."
In the forest, Lin Cheng signaled everyone to stop, and said at the same time: "According to the information I got, the territory of the fire-pattern monkey is ahead, and if you go deeper, you can see the purple leaf flat peach. Our original intention is to try not to be caught If you find it, pick more purple-leaf flat peaches, so after approaching, Brother Li will quickly arrange a formation with a hidden figure, but it's all clear."
"Understood." Wang Chong and Li Xiansong nodded and replied, feeling faintly excited.
If the plan goes well, they will be able to obtain huge gains in a short period of time this time, surpassing the past.
"Okay, let's start now."
Lin Cheng opened his mouth, and then led the crowd to keep sneaking.
And the closer to the target, the less the surrounding monster breath, until finally disappearing completely, not even the bird chirping can be heard.
Not long after, the five of them finally left and walked out of the forest. Right in front of them, there was a meandering river. There were purple peach trees growing on both sides of the river. The peach trees were tall and strong, especially on the top of the tree. There are huge purple fruits.
The whole body of the fruit is purple, with wisps of light emitting from it, which is very extraordinary at first glance.
However, the number is not very large, adding up to twenty or thirty pieces at most.
"Is this the Purple Leaf Peach?"
Seeing this, Song Zhishu thought in his heart: "It is said that this purple-leaf flat peach is a kind of elixir, which grows once every ten years and contains powerful spiritual power, but monks can't eat it directly. It is the best material for alchemy, but there are no monsters. this column."
This is what he understands, but Song Zhishu has never been in contact with alchemy, so he doesn't know the details.
"Brother Lin, why didn't you find the fire monkeys? Didn't you say there are a group of them here?"
At this time, Wang Chong opened his mouth. He carefully observed the surrounding area and found no danger.
"Did you leave?"
Lin Cheng also felt strange, then turned to look at Chen Jingyun, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Although Confucian righteousness has many magical effects, it cannot track down the traces of monsters." Chen Jingyun shook his head, expressing that he was helpless in this regard.
Song Zhishu also found out his soul, but he didn't find anything, so he nodded slightly.
"I'll go and have a look first." After thinking for a while, Lin Cheng made up his mind. Although he didn't find any abnormalities, he had to be more careful and planned to investigate the situation by himself. In danger, there is support behind.
After finishing speaking, without hesitation, he tried his best to restrain his mana, and quietly walked towards the purple leaf peach forest.
Soon, Lin Cheng approached and stood under the tree, looking around vigilantly.
At the same time, the people hiding in another place are also using their mana, and if there is any danger, they will directly attack.
"No exception."
Lin Cheng stayed for a while, and even picked a purple-leaf flat peach, but there was still no trace of the fire-pattern monkey, and immediately signaled everyone to approach.
"I'll set up a formation first." Li Xiansong said, put away his folding fan, and took out dozens of formation stones in his hand.
There are runes engraved in the array stone, as long as they are placed in a specific position, an array will be formed.
"Mr. Chen, Song Daoyou, shall we go too?"
Wang Chong looked at the purple leaf flat peach not far away, feeling a little excited. As long as he picked ten of them, he would be able to complete this task. As for the extra income, it would be regarded as extra income. There is a chance to attack the foundation building environment.
"it is good."
Chen Jingyun nodded and found that there was indeed nothing unusual around him.
In addition, he is also a nine-level qi training Dzogchen, and he is one step away from building a foundation, and he doesn't want to give up this opportunity.
Otherwise, he would not choose to come out with Lin Cheng and others.
Song Zhishu didn't say anything, but since everyone had made a decision, it was inconvenient for him to say anything, and he followed the crowd to approach the peach grove.
In front of him, the river was flowing quietly, but the water inside was very muddy, and it was not clear what was inside.
"wrong."
Suddenly, Song Zhishu felt something was wrong, and immediately shouted: "Quick, stay away from the river."
At the same time, the other people who had joined Lin Cheng were taken aback when they heard this, but soon they all came to their senses and wanted to escape.
Bang bang bang!
But the next moment, the river kept surging, and figures rushed out of it.
These figures were all tall and big, similar to people, but their aura was very violent, and they all appeared in the peach forest in a short time. There were so many of them that they surrounded everyone present.
"It's the fire-pattern monkey." Lin Cheng was startled when he saw the appearance of those figures clearly.
I saw those figures were more than two feet tall, with lines on their bodies that danced like flames. They stood like people, grinning, and some even held weapons. Their blood-red eyes just stared at Song Zhishu and the others.
It's the fire pattern spirit monkey.
And the weakest of them all exude an aura comparable to the fifth level of Qi training.
"Damn it, these beasts are so cunning, they actually hid directly under the water, and deliberately hid their breath." Wang Yue said, looking at the group of fire-pattern monkeys surrounding him, his face was ugly.
The fifth level of Qi training is nothing to them, and the battle can be resolved in an instant.
But the key point is that there are too many fire-pattern monkeys.
There are hundreds of them.
quack quack.
And the next moment, those fire-pattern monkeys no longer hesitated, and rushed towards the crowd.
Their auras are connected together, and they don't rush forward in a disorderly manner, but let some of them completely surround everyone first, and the stronger fire-patterned monkeys follow in turn. It is obvious that they know that the monks in front of them are not easy to mess with, and they have adopted tactics.
"Do it."
"Brother Li, stop arranging formations and go pick the purple-leaf flat peaches. We will buy you time."
Lin Cheng didn't hesitate either. He shouted and gave an order. At such a time, he must be decisive without the slightest hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, a flying knife appeared in his hand, which grew against the wind, was held in his hand, and then rushed out directly, his whole body was also wrapped in mana. Lin Cheng was physically strong, and it was in the early stage of foundation establishment. Among them, it was like a tiger entering a herd of sheep, and several of them were solved in an instant.
In another place, Wang Chong also moved the flying sword, which turned into a blazing white light, piercing through the heads of the three fire-pattern monkeys at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, he took out several speed talismans to ensure that he would not be besieged.
Li Xiansong approached the peach forest under the protection of the two, preparing to pick purple-leaf flat peaches.
But without exception, none of these three people had any defensive magic weapons. Obviously, as casual cultivators, they were really stretched in terms of family resources.
"Fellow Daoist Song, protect yourself."
At this time, Chen Jingyun opened his mouth, and a flying sword was suspended in front of his chest. It was a high-grade magic weapon, wrapped in Confucian righteousness, and shot out instantly. His strength was not the strongest among several people, but because of Confucian righteousness is injected, but the lethality is very strong, basically killing him with one move.
Naturally, Song Zhishu didn't say much. Looking at the five spirit monkeys rushing towards him, the saint's sword fetus appeared. He didn't use his awe-inspiring righteousness, but just injected mana.
puff puff.
In an instant, the heads of five spirit monkeys flew high, blood flowing.
At the same time, run mana, hang in the air, and create a formula.
Loudly!
The holy man's sword body vibrates, splits into three, forms a 'pin' shape, and kills all the surrounding spirit monkeys.
Bang bang bang.
In an instant, more than [-] spirit monkeys fell down and lost their vitality.
"Good guy, Song Daoyou is amazing."
"It seems to be a high-grade magic weapon, the flying sword, but it's too powerful, right?"
Not far away, Wang Chong and Li Xiansong were shocked when they saw this scene. They killed more than 20 spirit monkeys with one move, and their strength was basically above the fifth level of Qi training. To, but it is absolutely impossible to be so easy.
"it is good."
Seeing this, Lin Cheng was determined. Sure enough, he was right to invite Song Zhishu this time.
At this speed, it won't take long for the hundreds of fire-pattern monkeys in front of them to be completely eliminated.
"Don't be too happy."
But soon, Chen Jingyun woke up and reminded: "Look over there."
Following his words, everyone cast their gazes, only to see that behind those spirit monkeys, there were ten taller fire-pattern spirit monkeys, with red eyes, a full three feet tall, holding giant trees as weapons, and staring closely at them. On the battlefield, and these ten fire-patterned spirit monkeys are comparable to those in the early stage of foundation establishment.
It’s over.
For a moment, the hearts of Lin Cheng and the others sank, ten monsters comparable to foundation building, and they were also extremely difficult fire pattern spirit monkeys.
If all of them are dispatched, can they resist it?
"Didn't it mean that there are at most three fire-pattern monkeys comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
"How could this be? Could it be that the information given by Wanshi Pavilion is wrong?"
Wang Chong and Li Xiansong's complexion changed drastically. If they knew this was the case, they would never have come, it was too dangerous.
"Calm down, I can deal with two, Lin Daoyou can deal with three, and the rest will be handed over to Song Daoyou. As for the others, Wang Daoyou and Li Daoyou should be fine." Chen Jingyun opened his mouth and made a plan in an instant. Spirit monkeys are nothing, they can be killed at any time with their strength, the key is that these ten are comparable to the foundation establishment stage.
"Listen to Mr. Chen." Lin Cheng nodded and ordered everyone. He did not act without authorization, but slowly joined them.
At this time, we must concentrate our strength, and we must not separate them, otherwise we will fall into a bitter battle.
"Don't be busy, I'll deal with the seven, Li Daoyou continues to pick purple leaf flat peaches."
Song Zhishu said that he is now in the middle stage of the foundation building stage, and he is just a seven-headed monster in the early stage of foundation building stage. That's it.
"it is good."
Chen Jingyun glanced at Song Zhishu and had no objection to this.
And the next moment, everyone gathered together and began to kill those fire-pattern monkeys with weaker cultivation bases.
As for Song Zhishu, without any hesitation, he stood in the air, surrounded by the saint's sword embryo, and rushed directly into the ten strongest monsters.
Lin Cheng and Chen Jingyun also used their own means to share the pressure for him.
quack.
the other side.
Song Zhishu directly started fighting with the seven fire-pattern monkeys.
These spirit monkeys are strong and strong, and their defense is extremely high. They directly used the giant tree as a weapon, and kept slapping on the ground.
All of a sudden, the mountains and forests trembled, dust flew up, and boulders were directly blasted into powder, which shocked Lin Cheng and others, showing how destructive they were.
In particular, they spit out white mist from time to time. The temperature of this mist is extremely high, and everything that is contaminated is turned into ashes.
But Song Zhishu was able to handle it with ease, no matter what kind of attack they launched, it was useless.
"go."
And with Song Zhishu's voice.
The radiance of the saint's sword embryo rose sharply, turning into a streamer again, killing one in an instant.
Then he injected mana again, the light split into three, and two more fire-pattern monkeys were directly killed.
between just one breath.
Three monsters comparable to those in the early stage of Foundation Establishment died.
"Isn't this too strong?"
Seeing Lin Cheng and the others here, they were a little dazed. They were still fighting hard, but it was so easy over there.
It was also at the Foundation Establishment level, but the gap seemed too large.
"Don't be distracted."
Song Zhishu made a reminder, and made another formula. The saint's sword embryo turned into a sword, aimed at the four fire-pattern monkeys in front of him, and once again showed its power. This time, he blessed a more powerful Mana, I just want to try how far I can do it.
puff!
The saint's sword fetus disappeared without a trace, at such a speed that the naked eye could no longer catch it.
The four fire-pattern monkeys didn't react at all, their bodies were pierced, and then their bodies exploded directly.
On the other side, Lin Cheng and Chen Jingyun had just solved two of them together, and before they could continue, they saw Song Zhishu's Saint Sword Embryo beheading the last one.
Just like that, the ten fire-patterned spirit monkeys in the Foundation Establishment Realm all died within the time it took for a stick of incense to appear.
As for the other spirit monkeys, they were almost solved by the other two.
"Sigh~"
Lin Cheng and the others couldn't help swallowing.
Because it was so strong, they didn't even know how Song Zhishu did it.
Chen Jingyun was also surprised, he had seen quite a few monks in the early stage of foundation establishment, but he was the first one who was as strong as before.
huh~
Song Zhishu took back the sage's sword embryo and held it in his hand: "My current strength should be enough to fight against the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and if I am surprised, I can kill him."
At this moment, he has a clearer understanding of his own strength.
"Inviting Daoist Song this time is definitely the most correct choice for me." Lin Cheng looked at Song Zhishu standing in mid-air, and sincerely felt that he had read correctly. At the same time, he was even more convinced that the person in front of him might not be an ordinary disciple of an aristocratic family. So simple.
"It's almost there. After picking the purple-leaf flat peaches, let's leave as soon as possible."
Song Zhishu naturally knew what they were thinking, so he spoke directly, thinking that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.
"Yes."
Unknowingly, Lin Cheng directly regarded Song Zhishu as the backbone. The world of practice is like this, whoever is strong will listen to him.
Right now, he was going to take Wang Chong and Li Xiansong to pick the remaining purple leaf flat peaches.
boom!
But at this moment, there was a loud noise not far away.
A huge shadow, with a terrifying aura, surpassed all the previous fire monkeys, leaped into the air, waved a stone pillar the size of a bucket, and directly blasted down, enveloping Lin Cheng and the others.
"not good."
Song Zhishu reacted immediately when he saw this, and he was going to resist with the saint's sword embryo.
However, he found that Chen Jingyun, who was closer, almost hesitated for a moment at this time, and rushed towards Lin Cheng and the others. The flying sword in his hand burst out with rays of light, and a precious jade appeared, turning into a hill , Protecting everyone and blocking the attack.
Song Zhishu saw that it was the middle-grade spiritual-grade gem that he had inscribed.
Boom!
With the lowering of the huge stone pillar.
The next moment, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the surrounding forests were uprooted and dust was rolled up.
Huge gullies appeared around that river, and they were so powerful that they could shake mountains and rocks.
"Cough cough cough~"
At the center of the attack, four figures crawled out with difficulty, their faces pale, and their mouths and noses filled with blood.
It was Chen Jingyun who was injured in the end. His ribs were all broken, and he gasped for breath. Seeing that the attack was blocked, he felt relieved: "Fortunately, it was blocked."
"Mr. Chen, you..." The other three looked worried when they saw this.
"A Confucian scholar, if a friend is in trouble, he should do so."
Chen Jingyun shook his head, then looked at the broken piece of precious jade in his hand: "It's a pity, the new one that I just bought from Wanshi Pavilion for thousands of spirit stones will be gone in one go."
He was really heartbroken, the precious jade he just bought.
Roar!
At this time, a loud roar appeared, which shocked the four of them.
They also finally saw clearly the murderous thing that just shot, it was a huge fire-patterned monkey with a height of five feet, its eyes were fierce, staring at everyone, white mist continuously overflowed from its mouth and nose, like a flame Generally, full of momentum.
"The leader of the fire-pattern monkey is comparable to a monster in the late stage of foundation establishment, this."
"It's over, it's over, we're going to die here."
When Wang Chong and the others saw the ominous thing, Yu Sheng's heart suddenly became dead silent after the catastrophe. It was comparable to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. No one present was an opponent.
"Damn Wanshi Pavilion, what kind of information did you give me?" Lin Cheng was also angry. Before, there were ten foundations, but now they are in the late stage of foundations, which is completely unexpected. Is this a mission?This is totally courting death.
"Does this mean I'm going to meet the saint in advance?" Chen Jingyun's tone was hoarse, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed.
But soon, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone, with a strong breath and surging mana.
It was Song Zhishu.
Song Zhishu glanced at Chen Jingyun, and then said, "Everyone, step aside first, I will deal with this beast."
Chen Jingyun's actions just now made Song Zhishu feel good. No matter what the other party's purpose is, he is worthy of being a real scholar.
"Are you going to deal with it? Yes."
Lin Cheng and the others were taken aback. Judging from the battle just now, Song Zhishu was indeed very strong, but now he was going to face the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey, who was comparable to a monster in the late stage of foundation establishment. How to fight?
At a time like this, you should find a way to escape.
Song Zhishu didn't speak, and looked at the ominous creature not far away, knowing that it would be difficult to deal with it with ordinary methods.
Immediately, he took a deep breath, and righteousness surged in his body, blessing it to the saint's sword embryo.
At a time like this, naturally you can't keep any spare hands.
Lin Cheng and the other three watched Song Zhishu's behavior, but didn't say anything.
Chen Jingzhou beside him widened his eyes, and said without hesitation, "Confucian righteousness? Song Daoyou, are you also a Confucian scholar?"
(End of this chapter)
Outside the door, Lin Cheng smiled a little.
The same is true for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong behind them. They seem to be more enthusiastic than last time.
Obviously because of the last guess, the two of them had a lot of respect for Song Zhishu, and they were no longer as indifferent as before.
And they came to say goodbye.
"The three fellow Taoists are leaving?"
Song Zhishu opened his mouth, a little surprised in his words. The three of them were basically in Qingzhou City to accept the task of Wanshige, go out to kill monsters, but they will come back in two or three days at most, and now they come here to say goodbye, afraid that they will be away for a while.
"Yes."
"That task is about to start, it will take some time, and it may not be able to return in the short term."
Lin Cheng smiled, explained the reason, and continued after a pause: "Song Daoyou, what are you thinking about, do you want to join us?"
Nearly a month later, Song Zhishu never took the initiative to come. He was a little disappointed, thinking that the other party might decide not to be together, but Lin Cheng still did not give up completely, and planned to ask one last time.
After all, the task is indeed somewhat difficult. If a strong foreign aid joins in, it will be much easier for the three of them.
The eyes of Wang Chong and Li Xiansong also had a hint of anticipation. The Foundation Establishment cultivator from the aristocratic sect is indeed worthy of their repeated invitations.
Hearing this, Song Zhishu was silent at first and did not speak. Indeed, he basically stayed in the inn for a period of time and never went out. He was either cultivating or engraving precious jade. Although he also gained something, he could not do other things. ideas are somewhat different.
To know what to do, to know what to do, there must be action.
And he could also see that these three people were indeed invited sincerely, otherwise he wouldn't have come here on purpose before leaving.
As for the reason, Song Zhishu can also guess some, maybe because he values his own strength.
Although it has been emphasized before that they are casual cultivators, after all, they have lived in Taihao Jianzong for more than ten years. It is difficult for Song Zhishu to get rid of the characteristics of Zongmen disciples in a short time, and Zongmen disciples will indeed be surpassed by ordinary casual cultivators. Have a look.
As for the task mentioned by the three of them, it has been explained before that the reward is generous, so you can really give it a try.
What's more, there are only more than 20 of the noble righteousness in my body, the number is too small, and even the Lingyuan Pill needs a longer time to refine.
Go out and kill monsters, you can make up for it, and open the next jade box at the same time.
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhi raised his head: "Your fellow Daoist Lin has repeatedly invited you. If I refuse, it will be a bit unreasonable."
"Then Daoist Song agreed?"
Lin Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and there was some surprise in his words.
Originally, he wanted to give up, but he never thought that there would be a bright future.
"Yes."
Song Zhi nodded with a smile.
"it is good."
After getting the definite answer, Lin Cheng immediately beamed with joy, feeling that such a long time was finally not in vain.
But soon he restrained his smile, with a serious look on his face: "But Song Daoyou, there are some things that I have to say first, that is, after the completion of this mission, according to the old rules of the three of us, we will all be divided equally. , Of course, if Song Daoyou contributes a lot by then, you can get more depending on the situation, and you can discuss it."
Before the official start, the most important things must be clearly explained, so as to save time and trouble.
And equal distribution can minimize disputes, and it is also the way of survival for casual cultivators.
But Lin Cheng also knows that there are some things that cannot be said too much.
What if the other party does make a big effort and is an indispensable person in the team?Definitely going to take more.
"Just listen to Fellow Daoist Lin."
Song Zhishu had no objection to this, on the contrary, he admired Lin Chengneng's attitude of saying things well in advance.
Inside the sect, disciples are bound by rules, so they dare not go too far.
But casual cultivators outside are different. There are not a few people who turn their backs in the middle of the process, or even commit crimes secretly. Therefore, the foundation of forming a team is to rely on honesty, and to speak clearly and thoroughly in advance.
Walking outside, Lin Cheng obviously knew this very well, so he said it.
And his words made the two people next to him turn their heads to look at Song Zhishu.
Obviously very concerned about this matter.
"no problem."
Song Zhishu did not hesitate or refuse.
The biggest purpose of my trip is not to earn spirit stones.
But if you want to go out for a walk, killing monsters is just to gain Confucian righteousness, so the allocation of spirit stones is not very fussy.
If you really care about this, why not engrave precious jade in the inn, and earn more than going out?And it's safe.
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
Lin Cheng was completely relieved when he saw Song Zhishu agreeing.
Some disciples of the sect think highly of themselves and despise casual cultivators, and will be aggressive in terms of task income, but Song Zhishu doesn't care, which makes him very happy, and at the same time feels that he has found the right person.
The same was true for the other two, who felt that the Song Zhishu in front of them was really different from the disciples of the aristocratic family they had seen before, and they had a good impression of them.
Lin Cheng smiled, and said again: "So, Daoyou Song, wait in the inn for three days first, and prepare at the same time. After three days, we will meet at the gate of Dongcheng. What do you think, Daoyou Song?"
The three days were spent on preparations, to buy some pills and talismans, which was their previous plan.
"Okay, see you at the gate of Dongcheng in three days."
Song Zhishu nodded, he had already prepared a lot of things in Taihao Sword Sect, everything he should have, but he didn't have anything to prepare, but it just so happened that these few days can be used to stabilize his cultivation, after all, he just broke through.
Several people chatted for a while, Lin Cheng and the others said nothing more, and left the aisle.
Song Zhishu closed the door tightly and began to meditate with breath adjustment.
The mid-term cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It does take some getting used to.
At the same time, he sorted out the talismans and various healing elixirs in his hand, in case of emergencies.
Soon, three days passed by.
In the early morning of this day, the sun rose.
The clouds and mist that shrouded Qingzhou City have not yet dissipated, bringing a little coolness.
Song Zhishu directly checked out of the guest room early in the morning. After packing up his things, he walked straight to the agreed place.
At the gate of the east city, the three of them had already been waiting here. It was Lin Cheng and his party.
"Brother Lin, the price of the Frost Talisman has increased again recently. I didn't prepare much this time, so I bought a few speed talismans and some pills. I may have to borrow some from you." He opened his mouth, his complexion a bit bitter.
For casual cultivators like them, the spirit stones will be used up if they have the basics, and there is not much left, because they are all used for cultivation.
"It's the same here. I didn't buy talismans or anything, but fortunately, the price of the formation stone has been reduced, so it's enough."
Li Xiansong also spoke. He is the weakest among the three in terms of strength, but he has minored in formations. The key is very useful, so his position in the team is very important.
"No problem, as long as there are enough things, you don't have to take too much."
Lin Cheng smiled, and was about to say something more, but soon saw a familiar figure not far away, and said immediately: "Song Daoyou is here."
"Three Daoists."
At this moment, Song Zhishu spoke softly. He was dressed in white, with a straight body, but he looked very low-key, with no decorations on his body. He bowed slightly before and after he approached, and continued: "When are we going to leave?"
"Song Daoyou is not busy, there is one more person."
Lin Cheng returned the gift, saying that there was still one person who hadn't come, and he had to wait.
"it is good."
Song Zhishu nodded, and didn't think there was anything wrong. The more people there were, it meant that this mission was not only dangerous, but also that the reward might be higher than expected. After all, if there is one more person, he would get an extra share. Besides, he was just joining this time, not taking the lead. Naturally, we have to listen to Lin Cheng's arrangement.
"It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Song is also here, so I'll briefly explain what the few of us are good at, so that we can cooperate better."
Lin Cheng saw that there was still a while before the appointed time, so he said directly: "Brother Wang is good at flying swords, and his methods are extremely fast. If you add the speed talisman, the power can be increased further. At the same time, Brother Wang is also good at tracking the breath of monsters. "
"Brother Li is a top-rank formation mage. Over the years, he has mastered no less than a hundred formations. If he is given time, the monsters who have just entered the foundation will suffer."
Speaking of this, Lin Cheng smiled: "As for me, I was born with supernatural power and a strong physique since I was a child, and I can fight with monsters in the same realm."
Song Zhishu nodded silently upon hearing the words.
The three have their own strengths and complement each other, so it's no wonder they can form a team.
Sometimes when going out to kill monsters, not only strong strength is enough, the key is to cooperate, and a good cooperation can often show unexpected effects.
At this moment, Lin Cheng and the others also turned their heads.
Song Zhishu smiled and cupped his hands slightly: "I don't know how to use formations, but I also have some other methods that can cooperate with the three fellow Taoists."
As for what he is good at, Song Zhishu really can't say, but if he wants to talk about it, it has involved a little bit, but if he speaks directly like this, I am afraid that it will cause displeasure to others, so it is better to keep a low profile.
"Song Daoyou's means, we can rest assured."
Lin Cheng said, disciples of aristocratic families and sects are definitely not comparable to ordinary casual cultivators.
Especially Song Zhishu didn't say what he was good at, the more it made him feel extraordinary. Such people usually hide their secrets.
"Friend Lin."
And at this moment, a voice suddenly came.
Song Zhishu and the three of them cast their gazes, and saw a young man not far away, with a smile on his face, elegant temperament, and extraordinary handsomeness. The man's hair was tied up high, and he looked elegant, giving people the feeling of being in the spring breeze. Dzogchen on the ninth level of Qi training.
At the same time, in this human body, there is a different kind of aura that is completely different from that of a practitioner.
But his appearance made the eyes of Lin Cheng and the others brighten up immediately, and Lin Cheng went straight over and bowed slightly: "Mr. Chen, you are finally here."
"Confucian righteousness, is a scholar."
Song Zhishu could see the origin of this person at a glance, not only as simple as a monk, but also practiced Confucianism and Taoism.
As for the realm, it is estimated that it is about the middle stage of Zhishen Realm.
Unexpectedly, Qingzhou City will also have Confucian scholars who have entered the country.
Song Zhishu was curious, but after thinking about it, he thought it was normal. The sages were transformed, and Confucianism was no longer suppressed. Even a fairy school like Taihao Sword Sect cultivates disciples who can read, let alone outside?
"Song Daoyou, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Jingyun. He is a gentleman from the Academy in Qingzhou City. He has a very high reputation."
Lin Cheng led people over, and continued: "Mr. Chen is a double cultivator of Taoism and Confucianism, and Confucian righteousness is bred in his body. With Mr.'s help, our mission on this trip will surely be successful."
He talked about each gentleman, and his words were full of admiration. The same was true for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong, standing behind him full of admiration.
Today's Confucian scholars all have a high status and are highly respected, which is the case in any place.
Just like Qingzhou City, there is also an academy, and many casual practitioners will go there to study and practice essays.
The purpose is to see if I have the talent to become a scholar.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Jingyun appeared, he seemed to be the center of everyone.
At this moment, Song Zhishu bowed with a smile after hearing the introduction: "Mr. Chen."
Chen Jingyun returned the courtesy, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.
"Mr. Chen, this is Song Zhishu Song Daoyou, a monk who established the foundation." Lin Cheng, who was standing aside, also spoke immediately, because he knew that scholars had arrogance, and the same was true of disciples from the sect.
In their team, Chen Jingzhou is undoubtedly very important, and Song Zhishu can't afford to offend him. He hopes that the two can get along peacefully.
"Song Zhishu?"
And when Chen Jingzhou heard the name, there was a hint of consternation in his eyes.
He looked Song Zhishu up and down, but in the end he didn't see the clue. After thinking for a while, he nodded again, and then looked at Lin Chengdao: "Lin Daoyou, since everyone is here, as the leader, you can talk about this time." arrange it."
"it is good."
Lin Cheng cupped his hands slightly, cleared his throat and said, "Our goal this time is to collect a kind of elixir, named Ziye Pantao, which grows in Yuhua Peak, which belongs to the Qingyun Mountain Range. What kind of monsters you will encounter, the key is that there is a group of monsters living next to the Purple Leaf Flat Peach, the number of monsters is very large, and the strength of the leader is even comparable to that of Foundation Establishment."
"So what we have to do is to block the attack of the fire-pattern monkey while picking the purple-leaf flat peaches, and the goal of the mission is at least ten."
"As long as this amount is completed, the excess can be sold to Wanshige at the market price, and there will be corresponding rewards."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had solemn expressions, even Chen Jingyun.
And Song Zhishu finally knew why Lin Cheng kept emphasizing that the mission would be dangerous. The reason was because of the fire-pattern monkey, which is a herd monster with high speed and agility, and more importantly, it is also extremely alert. Very difficult.
Especially when they are in groups, they even formulate tactics, which can be said to be very troublesome.
Of course, the higher the risk, the greater the reward.
Purple leaf flat peaches are very valuable, and can be sold for thousands of spirit stones, not to mention that the more picked ones can be sold to Wanshi Pavilion, plus the reward, the harvest this time is at least more than [-] spirit stones.
Even if there are five people on average, there are still [-] spirit stones, which is quite a good income for casual cultivators.
"Do you all understand?" Lin Cheng glanced at everyone.
"learn."
Song Zhishu and others all nodded and had no objection to this.
"Okay, it's not too late, let's go."
Lin Cheng didn't say any more, he directly summoned the flying sword, leaped into the sky, and led the four people present to the Qingyun Mountain Range.
The Qingyun Mountains are nearly a thousand miles away from Qingzhou City, and it would take at least a day for a normal journey, but the weakest ones present are those at the ninth level of Qi training, and the flying speed is very fast, so it won't take long.
Of course, in order to take care of everyone, Song Zhishu deliberately flew slower, otherwise it would only be faster.
Along the way, he also found that when Lin Cheng and the others were controlling the sword, they only used the magic power in their bodies and did not use the talisman. Obviously, he was a little reluctant and wanted to use this thing at a critical moment.
Chen Jingyun, on the other hand, used a spiritual light talisman halfway to ensure that he was in full bloom at all times.
After three hours.
Five people with swords flying in the air, the speed slowly decreased.
Song Zhishu stared ahead, and saw a huge mountain range not far away, spreading continuously, with no end in sight, and clouds and mist shrouded in the depths, and in the mountain forest below, there were monsters neighing and making terrifying screams. Started a group of flying monsters.
"Let's start walking here. There are powerful monsters deep in the Qingyun Mountains, and they can be easily spotted in the sky."
Lin Cheng observed the situation in the distance, and immediately called everyone to come down.
The Qingyun Mountains are very large, even if they are on the periphery, they are still accompanied by dangers, especially the targets in the air are too big, so they have to be careful.
Song Zhishu and the others naturally had no opinion on this, and fell into a mountain road.
Wang Chong inspected for a while and confirmed that there was no danger ahead.
Everyone set off again and entered the mountains.
In the mountains and forests, there are towering old trees and overgrown bushes, and the cries of various monsters can be heard from time to time.
Five figures passed by quickly, while carefully observing the surroundings. Everyone was highly focused to prevent possible accidents.
Everyone talked along the way, and Song Zhishu also began to understand the situation in Qingyun Mountains, but Chen Jingyun was very silent, basically saying nothing.
Lin Cheng and others thought it was nothing, thinking that this was the pride that scholars should have.
"Yuhua Peak is to the east of Qingyun Mountains, about three hundred miles away. At our current speed, we can reach it before dark. To get rid of the poisonous miasma, I have a miasma-removing talisman on my body, which can ensure our safe passage without wasting mana."
As the leader of the team, Lin Cheng was naturally well-prepared and had all kinds of talismans that could be used.
The miasma removal talisman can prevent miasma from entering the body. This kind of miasma is very troublesome. If a mortal is infected, he will die instantly. Even a monk needs to expel it with magic power after inhaling it. In order to ensure that everyone is in a perfect state, What has to be done has to be done.
After all, this is outside, and accidents may happen at any time.
"it is good."
Li Xiansong and Li Xiansong opened their mouths and each received a miasma-eliminating talisman. The three of them had been friends for many years and their hearts were connected.
"I have Confucian righteousness to protect me, and mere miasma can't help me." Chen Jingyun shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't need it, because Confucian righteousness is indeed the bane of all evil things.
"Friend Daoist Lin, I don't want it anymore, I have my own means to resist miasma."
Song Zhishu also shook his head. With his current strength, he really didn't need to worry about the so-called miasma.
Not to mention anything else, just the awe-inspiring righteousness in the body can completely dissolve it.
And the miasma-removing talisman is not expensive.
But Song Zhishu didn't want to take other people's things for nothing.
"This..." Lin Cheng hesitated, Chen Jingyun was naturally not worried, but Song Zhishu didn't need it now either.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lin, my Confucian righteousness can just help one more person." Chen Jingyun spoke at this time, saying that he would take action at critical times, so there was no need to worry.
"Okay then, let's move on."
Seeing this, Lin Cheng didn't say much, and continued walking towards the destination with the map.
Another hour or so later, the sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun was slowly being covered by thick clouds, and the light in the mountains and forests was also weakening. It seemed that the sky would be dark in the next moment.
At this moment, the five of them reached the edge of a cliff, and there was a rushing river under the cliff, and patches of water mist evaporated.
And on the other side of the cliff, there is a huge straight mountain, thousands of meters high, with almost no footholds, it is so steep that it is impossible for ordinary people to climb it, but it is nothing to monks.
It is the destination of this trip, Yuhua Peak.
However, it was already dark at this time. Under Lin Cheng's suggestion, everyone decided to rest for one night and set off tomorrow.
The task rewards are very generous, but life is more important. For casual cultivators, they must pay attention to it all the time.
Soon, Wang Chong went to inspect the surrounding areas, and at the same time sprinkled some medicinal powder to get rid of poisonous insects and beasts.
Li Xiansong set up a simple spirit-gathering array at the place where the people were stationed, as a way to adjust their breathing. Lin Cheng was also planning plans for climbing the peak and picking purple-leaf flat peaches tomorrow, and the three of them were very busy.
Only Song Zhishu and Chen Jingyun had nothing to do.
Song Zhishu was fine, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
As for Chen Jingyun sitting aside, holding a book in his hand, he began to read carefully, sometimes chanting words, which were Confucian classics.
Seeing this scene, the three of Lin Cheng, who had finished their work, couldn't help showing envy in their eyes. They also tried reading and writing before, but it was a pity that their talents were limited and it was difficult to understand, so they gave up.
Otherwise, if you can become a Confucian scholar, even if you are just a casual cultivator, you will be looked at highly by others.
It's not even a problem to become a gentleman in a certain family of cultivators.
This is the case with Chen Jingyun.
Even though the nine levels of qi training are perfect, he is respected in Qingzhou City, and some foundation-building monks are his students.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day soon came.
After resting for the whole night, the five people were all refreshed, and they got together again to discuss the plan.
Everyone didn't say much anymore, they just stood up with their swords and started heading towards Yuhua Mountain.
The mountain here is dangerous, and there is miasma in it, so everyone is very careful, and they don't stop halfway, but go straight to the top of the mountain. Although Yuhua Mountain is only a peak, the range of the mountain top is also very large, and there are forests on it , There are also monsters haunting.
But these monsters are not strong, so they can be solved easily.
Song Zhishu didn't do anything, because he knew that monsters that were too weak could gain little Confucian righteousness.
In addition, after slaying monsters, you can still get materials from them, which belong to the person who slays them, so naturally I will not strengthen them.
Everyone continued on the road, and it took three hours to reach the core of Yuhua Mountain.
"Everyone."
In the forest, Lin Cheng signaled everyone to stop, and said at the same time: "According to the information I got, the territory of the fire-pattern monkey is ahead, and if you go deeper, you can see the purple leaf flat peach. Our original intention is to try not to be caught If you find it, pick more purple-leaf flat peaches, so after approaching, Brother Li will quickly arrange a formation with a hidden figure, but it's all clear."
"Understood." Wang Chong and Li Xiansong nodded and replied, feeling faintly excited.
If the plan goes well, they will be able to obtain huge gains in a short period of time this time, surpassing the past.
"Okay, let's start now."
Lin Cheng opened his mouth, and then led the crowd to keep sneaking.
And the closer to the target, the less the surrounding monster breath, until finally disappearing completely, not even the bird chirping can be heard.
Not long after, the five of them finally left and walked out of the forest. Right in front of them, there was a meandering river. There were purple peach trees growing on both sides of the river. The peach trees were tall and strong, especially on the top of the tree. There are huge purple fruits.
The whole body of the fruit is purple, with wisps of light emitting from it, which is very extraordinary at first glance.
However, the number is not very large, adding up to twenty or thirty pieces at most.
"Is this the Purple Leaf Peach?"
Seeing this, Song Zhishu thought in his heart: "It is said that this purple-leaf flat peach is a kind of elixir, which grows once every ten years and contains powerful spiritual power, but monks can't eat it directly. It is the best material for alchemy, but there are no monsters. this column."
This is what he understands, but Song Zhishu has never been in contact with alchemy, so he doesn't know the details.
"Brother Lin, why didn't you find the fire monkeys? Didn't you say there are a group of them here?"
At this time, Wang Chong opened his mouth. He carefully observed the surrounding area and found no danger.
"Did you leave?"
Lin Cheng also felt strange, then turned to look at Chen Jingyun, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Although Confucian righteousness has many magical effects, it cannot track down the traces of monsters." Chen Jingyun shook his head, expressing that he was helpless in this regard.
Song Zhishu also found out his soul, but he didn't find anything, so he nodded slightly.
"I'll go and have a look first." After thinking for a while, Lin Cheng made up his mind. Although he didn't find any abnormalities, he had to be more careful and planned to investigate the situation by himself. In danger, there is support behind.
After finishing speaking, without hesitation, he tried his best to restrain his mana, and quietly walked towards the purple leaf peach forest.
Soon, Lin Cheng approached and stood under the tree, looking around vigilantly.
At the same time, the people hiding in another place are also using their mana, and if there is any danger, they will directly attack.
"No exception."
Lin Cheng stayed for a while, and even picked a purple-leaf flat peach, but there was still no trace of the fire-pattern monkey, and immediately signaled everyone to approach.
"I'll set up a formation first." Li Xiansong said, put away his folding fan, and took out dozens of formation stones in his hand.
There are runes engraved in the array stone, as long as they are placed in a specific position, an array will be formed.
"Mr. Chen, Song Daoyou, shall we go too?"
Wang Chong looked at the purple leaf flat peach not far away, feeling a little excited. As long as he picked ten of them, he would be able to complete this task. As for the extra income, it would be regarded as extra income. There is a chance to attack the foundation building environment.
"it is good."
Chen Jingyun nodded and found that there was indeed nothing unusual around him.
In addition, he is also a nine-level qi training Dzogchen, and he is one step away from building a foundation, and he doesn't want to give up this opportunity.
Otherwise, he would not choose to come out with Lin Cheng and others.
Song Zhishu didn't say anything, but since everyone had made a decision, it was inconvenient for him to say anything, and he followed the crowd to approach the peach grove.
In front of him, the river was flowing quietly, but the water inside was very muddy, and it was not clear what was inside.
"wrong."
Suddenly, Song Zhishu felt something was wrong, and immediately shouted: "Quick, stay away from the river."
At the same time, the other people who had joined Lin Cheng were taken aback when they heard this, but soon they all came to their senses and wanted to escape.
Bang bang bang!
But the next moment, the river kept surging, and figures rushed out of it.
These figures were all tall and big, similar to people, but their aura was very violent, and they all appeared in the peach forest in a short time. There were so many of them that they surrounded everyone present.
"It's the fire-pattern monkey." Lin Cheng was startled when he saw the appearance of those figures clearly.
I saw those figures were more than two feet tall, with lines on their bodies that danced like flames. They stood like people, grinning, and some even held weapons. Their blood-red eyes just stared at Song Zhishu and the others.
It's the fire pattern spirit monkey.
And the weakest of them all exude an aura comparable to the fifth level of Qi training.
"Damn it, these beasts are so cunning, they actually hid directly under the water, and deliberately hid their breath." Wang Yue said, looking at the group of fire-pattern monkeys surrounding him, his face was ugly.
The fifth level of Qi training is nothing to them, and the battle can be resolved in an instant.
But the key point is that there are too many fire-pattern monkeys.
There are hundreds of them.
quack quack.
And the next moment, those fire-pattern monkeys no longer hesitated, and rushed towards the crowd.
Their auras are connected together, and they don't rush forward in a disorderly manner, but let some of them completely surround everyone first, and the stronger fire-patterned monkeys follow in turn. It is obvious that they know that the monks in front of them are not easy to mess with, and they have adopted tactics.
"Do it."
"Brother Li, stop arranging formations and go pick the purple-leaf flat peaches. We will buy you time."
Lin Cheng didn't hesitate either. He shouted and gave an order. At such a time, he must be decisive without the slightest hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, a flying knife appeared in his hand, which grew against the wind, was held in his hand, and then rushed out directly, his whole body was also wrapped in mana. Lin Cheng was physically strong, and it was in the early stage of foundation establishment. Among them, it was like a tiger entering a herd of sheep, and several of them were solved in an instant.
In another place, Wang Chong also moved the flying sword, which turned into a blazing white light, piercing through the heads of the three fire-pattern monkeys at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, he took out several speed talismans to ensure that he would not be besieged.
Li Xiansong approached the peach forest under the protection of the two, preparing to pick purple-leaf flat peaches.
But without exception, none of these three people had any defensive magic weapons. Obviously, as casual cultivators, they were really stretched in terms of family resources.
"Fellow Daoist Song, protect yourself."
At this time, Chen Jingyun opened his mouth, and a flying sword was suspended in front of his chest. It was a high-grade magic weapon, wrapped in Confucian righteousness, and shot out instantly. His strength was not the strongest among several people, but because of Confucian righteousness is injected, but the lethality is very strong, basically killing him with one move.
Naturally, Song Zhishu didn't say much. Looking at the five spirit monkeys rushing towards him, the saint's sword fetus appeared. He didn't use his awe-inspiring righteousness, but just injected mana.
puff puff.
In an instant, the heads of five spirit monkeys flew high, blood flowing.
At the same time, run mana, hang in the air, and create a formula.
Loudly!
The holy man's sword body vibrates, splits into three, forms a 'pin' shape, and kills all the surrounding spirit monkeys.
Bang bang bang.
In an instant, more than [-] spirit monkeys fell down and lost their vitality.
"Good guy, Song Daoyou is amazing."
"It seems to be a high-grade magic weapon, the flying sword, but it's too powerful, right?"
Not far away, Wang Chong and Li Xiansong were shocked when they saw this scene. They killed more than 20 spirit monkeys with one move, and their strength was basically above the fifth level of Qi training. To, but it is absolutely impossible to be so easy.
"it is good."
Seeing this, Lin Cheng was determined. Sure enough, he was right to invite Song Zhishu this time.
At this speed, it won't take long for the hundreds of fire-pattern monkeys in front of them to be completely eliminated.
"Don't be too happy."
But soon, Chen Jingyun woke up and reminded: "Look over there."
Following his words, everyone cast their gazes, only to see that behind those spirit monkeys, there were ten taller fire-pattern spirit monkeys, with red eyes, a full three feet tall, holding giant trees as weapons, and staring closely at them. On the battlefield, and these ten fire-patterned spirit monkeys are comparable to those in the early stage of foundation establishment.
It’s over.
For a moment, the hearts of Lin Cheng and the others sank, ten monsters comparable to foundation building, and they were also extremely difficult fire pattern spirit monkeys.
If all of them are dispatched, can they resist it?
"Didn't it mean that there are at most three fire-pattern monkeys comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
"How could this be? Could it be that the information given by Wanshi Pavilion is wrong?"
Wang Chong and Li Xiansong's complexion changed drastically. If they knew this was the case, they would never have come, it was too dangerous.
"Calm down, I can deal with two, Lin Daoyou can deal with three, and the rest will be handed over to Song Daoyou. As for the others, Wang Daoyou and Li Daoyou should be fine." Chen Jingyun opened his mouth and made a plan in an instant. Spirit monkeys are nothing, they can be killed at any time with their strength, the key is that these ten are comparable to the foundation establishment stage.
"Listen to Mr. Chen." Lin Cheng nodded and ordered everyone. He did not act without authorization, but slowly joined them.
At this time, we must concentrate our strength, and we must not separate them, otherwise we will fall into a bitter battle.
"Don't be busy, I'll deal with the seven, Li Daoyou continues to pick purple leaf flat peaches."
Song Zhishu said that he is now in the middle stage of the foundation building stage, and he is just a seven-headed monster in the early stage of foundation building stage. That's it.
"it is good."
Chen Jingyun glanced at Song Zhishu and had no objection to this.
And the next moment, everyone gathered together and began to kill those fire-pattern monkeys with weaker cultivation bases.
As for Song Zhishu, without any hesitation, he stood in the air, surrounded by the saint's sword embryo, and rushed directly into the ten strongest monsters.
Lin Cheng and Chen Jingyun also used their own means to share the pressure for him.
quack.
the other side.
Song Zhishu directly started fighting with the seven fire-pattern monkeys.
These spirit monkeys are strong and strong, and their defense is extremely high. They directly used the giant tree as a weapon, and kept slapping on the ground.
All of a sudden, the mountains and forests trembled, dust flew up, and boulders were directly blasted into powder, which shocked Lin Cheng and others, showing how destructive they were.
In particular, they spit out white mist from time to time. The temperature of this mist is extremely high, and everything that is contaminated is turned into ashes.
But Song Zhishu was able to handle it with ease, no matter what kind of attack they launched, it was useless.
"go."
And with Song Zhishu's voice.
The radiance of the saint's sword embryo rose sharply, turning into a streamer again, killing one in an instant.
Then he injected mana again, the light split into three, and two more fire-pattern monkeys were directly killed.
between just one breath.
Three monsters comparable to those in the early stage of Foundation Establishment died.
"Isn't this too strong?"
Seeing Lin Cheng and the others here, they were a little dazed. They were still fighting hard, but it was so easy over there.
It was also at the Foundation Establishment level, but the gap seemed too large.
"Don't be distracted."
Song Zhishu made a reminder, and made another formula. The saint's sword embryo turned into a sword, aimed at the four fire-pattern monkeys in front of him, and once again showed its power. This time, he blessed a more powerful Mana, I just want to try how far I can do it.
puff!
The saint's sword fetus disappeared without a trace, at such a speed that the naked eye could no longer catch it.
The four fire-pattern monkeys didn't react at all, their bodies were pierced, and then their bodies exploded directly.
On the other side, Lin Cheng and Chen Jingyun had just solved two of them together, and before they could continue, they saw Song Zhishu's Saint Sword Embryo beheading the last one.
Just like that, the ten fire-patterned spirit monkeys in the Foundation Establishment Realm all died within the time it took for a stick of incense to appear.
As for the other spirit monkeys, they were almost solved by the other two.
"Sigh~"
Lin Cheng and the others couldn't help swallowing.
Because it was so strong, they didn't even know how Song Zhishu did it.
Chen Jingyun was also surprised, he had seen quite a few monks in the early stage of foundation establishment, but he was the first one who was as strong as before.
huh~
Song Zhishu took back the sage's sword embryo and held it in his hand: "My current strength should be enough to fight against the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and if I am surprised, I can kill him."
At this moment, he has a clearer understanding of his own strength.
"Inviting Daoist Song this time is definitely the most correct choice for me." Lin Cheng looked at Song Zhishu standing in mid-air, and sincerely felt that he had read correctly. At the same time, he was even more convinced that the person in front of him might not be an ordinary disciple of an aristocratic family. So simple.
"It's almost there. After picking the purple-leaf flat peaches, let's leave as soon as possible."
Song Zhishu naturally knew what they were thinking, so he spoke directly, thinking that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.
"Yes."
Unknowingly, Lin Cheng directly regarded Song Zhishu as the backbone. The world of practice is like this, whoever is strong will listen to him.
Right now, he was going to take Wang Chong and Li Xiansong to pick the remaining purple leaf flat peaches.
boom!
But at this moment, there was a loud noise not far away.
A huge shadow, with a terrifying aura, surpassed all the previous fire monkeys, leaped into the air, waved a stone pillar the size of a bucket, and directly blasted down, enveloping Lin Cheng and the others.
"not good."
Song Zhishu reacted immediately when he saw this, and he was going to resist with the saint's sword embryo.
However, he found that Chen Jingyun, who was closer, almost hesitated for a moment at this time, and rushed towards Lin Cheng and the others. The flying sword in his hand burst out with rays of light, and a precious jade appeared, turning into a hill , Protecting everyone and blocking the attack.
Song Zhishu saw that it was the middle-grade spiritual-grade gem that he had inscribed.
Boom!
With the lowering of the huge stone pillar.
The next moment, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the surrounding forests were uprooted and dust was rolled up.
Huge gullies appeared around that river, and they were so powerful that they could shake mountains and rocks.
"Cough cough cough~"
At the center of the attack, four figures crawled out with difficulty, their faces pale, and their mouths and noses filled with blood.
It was Chen Jingyun who was injured in the end. His ribs were all broken, and he gasped for breath. Seeing that the attack was blocked, he felt relieved: "Fortunately, it was blocked."
"Mr. Chen, you..." The other three looked worried when they saw this.
"A Confucian scholar, if a friend is in trouble, he should do so."
Chen Jingyun shook his head, then looked at the broken piece of precious jade in his hand: "It's a pity, the new one that I just bought from Wanshi Pavilion for thousands of spirit stones will be gone in one go."
He was really heartbroken, the precious jade he just bought.
Roar!
At this time, a loud roar appeared, which shocked the four of them.
They also finally saw clearly the murderous thing that just shot, it was a huge fire-patterned monkey with a height of five feet, its eyes were fierce, staring at everyone, white mist continuously overflowed from its mouth and nose, like a flame Generally, full of momentum.
"The leader of the fire-pattern monkey is comparable to a monster in the late stage of foundation establishment, this."
"It's over, it's over, we're going to die here."
When Wang Chong and the others saw the ominous thing, Yu Sheng's heart suddenly became dead silent after the catastrophe. It was comparable to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. No one present was an opponent.
"Damn Wanshi Pavilion, what kind of information did you give me?" Lin Cheng was also angry. Before, there were ten foundations, but now they are in the late stage of foundations, which is completely unexpected. Is this a mission?This is totally courting death.
"Does this mean I'm going to meet the saint in advance?" Chen Jingyun's tone was hoarse, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed.
But soon, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone, with a strong breath and surging mana.
It was Song Zhishu.
Song Zhishu glanced at Chen Jingyun, and then said, "Everyone, step aside first, I will deal with this beast."
Chen Jingyun's actions just now made Song Zhishu feel good. No matter what the other party's purpose is, he is worthy of being a real scholar.
"Are you going to deal with it? Yes."
Lin Cheng and the others were taken aback. Judging from the battle just now, Song Zhishu was indeed very strong, but now he was going to face the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey, who was comparable to a monster in the late stage of foundation establishment. How to fight?
At a time like this, you should find a way to escape.
Song Zhishu didn't speak, and looked at the ominous creature not far away, knowing that it would be difficult to deal with it with ordinary methods.
Immediately, he took a deep breath, and righteousness surged in his body, blessing it to the saint's sword embryo.
At a time like this, naturally you can't keep any spare hands.
Lin Cheng and the other three watched Song Zhishu's behavior, but didn't say anything.
Chen Jingzhou beside him widened his eyes, and said without hesitation, "Confucian righteousness? Song Daoyou, are you also a Confucian scholar?"
