A master of supernatural powers who started from low martial arts

obviously.

Faced with the joint efforts of two Nascent Soul cultivators, although the giant Buddha's main body was not injured, his Dharma body suffered a serious blow and gave up the idea of ​​attacking the defense line and quickly retreated towards the Yinshi Mountains.

"How can we allow you, this evil creature, to come and go as you please?"

"Leave something behind!"

However, the two Yuanying cultivators, Huanglong Zhenjun and Wei Bufan, had come all the way here, so they naturally could not sit back and watch them retreat calmly. The former raised his hand, and a large earth-yellow seal with the light and power of a huge mountain smashed down, and within a radius of several miles, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and the soil, rocks, and corpses were immediately turned into fragments;
On the other side, Wei Bufan, who was like a giant god in golden armor, strode forward and caused the earth to tremble and roar. He swung his fist and a pure golden fist force rushed out like a tide, with a loud bang in the sky, as if billions of glasses of glass were exploded into powder at the same time. A vacuum channel was formed wherever the fist force swept through, and the large number of fleeing remains of the giant Buddha were once again swept away in large pieces.

After suffering another severe blow, the giant Buddha's true body still did not reveal itself. In the end, only a pile of corpses and remains were left, and it quickly retreated back to the Yinshi Mountains.

This was not the first time they had fought against the giant Buddha corpse. The two Nascent Soul cultivators seemed to be afraid when they saw this and did not chase after him.

After the Corpse Buddha retreated, the thousands of corpse demons controlled by it also howled and fled back to the mountains. True Lord Huanglong and Wei Bufan naturally had no time to pay attention to such small fish and shrimps. They just looked at the dead and silent Yin Corpse Mountain Range with a slightly solemn expression:

"Master Wei, have you noticed that this evil is obviously more difficult to deal with than it was five years ago?"

"That's true. Before, we joined forces to strangle him. Not only did we shatter his Dharma body, but he almost lost his real body. If he didn't have the ability to escape underground, he would have been killed by us. But this time, I didn't even sense the existence of his real body."

"A Nascent Soul-level corpse demon has strong intelligence and instincts. It didn't seem to have shown its full strength in its recent defeat. Could it be that it is retreating to deliberately lure us to chase it?"

"How can this be possible? When did this evil creature become so cunning?"

The two exchanged words in the air for a while, and then returned to the camp of the immortal city cultivators. Xing Tianding, Qin Ruoning and other Jindan cultivators who had only been able to play a supporting role in the whole process came forward and bowed to greet them:

"We have met the True Lord!"

"Thanks to Master Huang Long and Master Wei for arriving in time, otherwise we would have suffered heavy casualties."

Most people were not in good condition, especially Xing Tianding, whose face was pale and his breath was weak. It was obvious that he was seriously overdrawn. True Lord Huanglong glanced at him and immediately frowned and said with concern:
"How is Hall Master Xing's injury? Are the others all right?"

Xing Tianding said: "I am just seriously overdrawn. I will recover after a few months of rest."

Qin Ruoning also showed a little sadness, and said at the right time:

"We are fine, although we have some injuries, they are not serious. However, fellow Taoists Bai Qianfeng, Duan Haiyang, and Fang Yun were accidentally killed by the giant Buddha."

The loss of three Jindan Zhenren was not a small loss. Zhenjun Huanglong's face darkened:

"Have the bodies of the three of them been recovered?"

Jindan Zhenren are the main force on the defense line. If they unfortunately die in the Immortal City, they must be compensated and buried with honors to avoid disappointing other cultivators.

The reason for asking about the corpse is that if the corpse of a Jindan Zhenren fell into the corpse tide and was not rescued and cremated in time, it would be very likely that there would be an additional third-level corpse king behind it under the erosion of corpse qi, which would create greater pressure on the defense line.

However, facing his question, the Jindan cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, and Xing Tianding said ashamedly:

"To be honest with you, Master Huang Long, the three of them died when the Corpse Buddha was at its most powerful. We had no time to take care of them, but their bodies may not have been devoured and taken away. I will lead my monks to search for them immediately."

The Xingtianding in front of him was the mainstay of the battle hall, so True Lord Huanglong naturally would not criticize him too much, but only sighed and comforted him:

"Master Xing has suffered too much damage, he should recuperate and rest as soon as possible. Just let your subordinates do this."

"The Corpse Buddha is extremely powerful. You all have led the people to stop it for a long time and have made great contributions. You should be awarded a great deed as a reward."

"As for Bai Qianfeng, Duan Haiyang, and Fang Yun, they sacrificed their lives for the safety of the Immortal City. They are role models for all cultivators in Longshan Immortal City. According to the pension regulations, their families are eligible to apply for a crystal-condensing pill from the Immortal City. Their merits and contributions will also be forever engraved on the Immortal City's historical monument and will never be erased."

This provision of compensation was also one of the important reasons why most Jindan cultivators from different families were willing to fight on the front lines. All of the Jindan cultivators bowed immediately:
"Master Zhenjun is kind and righteous."

Immediately.

True Lord Huanglong said nothing more, and immediately he and the guest True Lord Wei Bufan turned into a fairy rainbow and left.

Xing Tianding also immediately arranged for Qin Ruoning and three other Jindan Zhenren who suffered the least injuries to lead more than 200 cultivators to continue clearing out the scattered corpse demons on the battlefield, and see if they could find the bodies of the three fallen Jindan cultivators.

The final result was that they found Duan Haiyang's mutilated corpse and Fang Yun's magical weapon that was corroded beyond recognition, but as for Bai Qianfeng, no trace of him was found.

This situation was also normal. With Qin Ruoning's endorsement, no one doubted the death of Bai Qianfeng. After reporting to Xing Tianding, they returned to their respective caves in the camp to rest.

Qin Ruoning had just returned to her own little house and before she could sit down to rest, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the window:

"Fellow Daoist Qin."

Qin Ruoning was slightly startled and walked out of the cottage quickly. Then she saw Lu Yuan outside had returned to his original appearance and was standing in the yard, looking at her with a smile.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise: "Friend Lu, when did you come in? Why didn't the formation I set up have any reaction?"

Flying is a great magical power that can jump into the air. It can completely ignore any ordinary isolation formation. Lu Yuan smiled:

"I just came in. Your formation is quite ordinary, so it certainly can't stop me. So, they didn't find any clues, did they?"

Qin Ruoning took a deep breath:

"No, after all, it's not uncommon for Jindan cultivators to die on the front line. Although you didn't leave a body, no one will doubt it with my testimony."

"That's good."

Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile:

"In this case, I can now show my true self to others."

The timing he chose was just right. He fled from the battlefield by flying away just before the two Nascent Souls arrived. Everyone was exhausted by the attack of the giant corpse Buddha, and the low-level cultivators on the periphery were too far away, so no one noticed.

In fact, when Huanglong Zhenjun and others were fighting with the giant corpse Buddha, he was hiding in the void two or three miles away. The two of them obviously did not notice his existence, which shows the power of his flying ability.

Qin Ruoning frowned and said, "Brother Daoist Lu's move is too sudden. Now that you have lost your identity as Bai Qianfeng, how are you going to return to the Immortal City? Are you going to disguise yourself as an ordinary foundation-building cultivator or even a Qi-refining cultivator?"

"That's not necessary."

Lu Yuan said calmly:
"There are countless independent cultivators in Xiyanzhou. I will return to Xiancheng as an independent cultivator at the Jindan stage."

Qin Ruoning was stunned for a moment, and was even more surprised: "Jindan level casual cultivator? Jindan level cultivators who want to join the Immortal City must go through identity verification. Just being a casual cultivator as an excuse will not only fail to conceal it, but will arouse more suspicion."

Lu Yuan didn't care and said with a smile:
"What's wrong with doubting? Longshan Immortal City lost three Jindan warriors tonight, and it's time to replenish new blood. As long as I'm not some traitor or a corpse demon in disguise and can provide enough value, True Lord Huanglong may not care where I come from. What do you think?"

Returning to Longshan Fairy City in this way was something he had thought about carefully.

Bai Qianfeng's identity is too restrictive, especially on this defensive front. It is very inconvenient for him to wipe out the corpse demons and reap the merits of the Heavenly Dao. He must change to a free identity.

The reason for changing his identity and returning to Longshan Fairy City is naturally to go to the lower world.

After all, the lower world is where he started his life. Only by completely mastering the reception formation and the passage between the two worlds in his own hands can the safety of the lower world be guaranteed.

This also means that he must replace True Lord Huanglong and take control of the entire Longshan Immortal City in order to achieve this.

After thinking about it carefully, Qin Ruoning felt that what Lu Yuan said made sense. He nodded after thinking for a moment:

"That makes sense. Now all the major immortal cities on the front lines are recruiting Jindan warriors. Those who are outstanding in the four arts of cultivation are even more popular. If Fellow Daoist Lu has a relatively reasonable identity, Longshan Immortal City may not refuse you. When do you plan to go back? I will have to stay at this front line for more than half a year. I am afraid I cannot provide you with cover and convenience for the time being."

Lu Yuan said:
"It's okay. I have a plan. Fellow Daoist Qin, just rest assured. As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you will never be short of firewood. This front is quite dangerous. Fellow Daoist Qin, you must be extremely careful and take care of yourself. I'll give you this as well."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and a small storage bag flew out. Qin Ruoning took it and looked at it, and said in surprise:
"These are the battle supplies that were distributed earlier. You didn't use them at all?"

In addition to gaining merits, the Jindan Zhenren stationed on the front line also have another benefit: the Immortal City will distribute a lot of third-level elixirs and talismans for use in self-defense and healing. These are not low-level stuff that can be found everywhere. They are not easy to buy on the market without exchanging merits. They can be said to be very valuable.

Lu Yuan possessed many magical powers, and conventional elixirs and talismans were of little significance to him. He immediately said with a smile:

"I can't use most of these pills. The situation here is dangerous. You need them more."

Qin Ruoning was moved, her eyes were like water:

"Thank you very much, thank you Brother Lu for the gift."

Feeling a little awkward being looked at with strange eyes, Lu Yuan said no more and said quickly:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I will not stay here any longer, lest anyone notice me. If there is any emergency, please send me a message at any time. We will see you in the Immortal City in the future."

After saying that, he bowed, activated his flying magical power, and his figure disappeared into the void, leaving Qin Ruoning alone in a daze.

a few days later.

The news that the giant Buddha skeleton walked out of the Yinshi Mountains to attack the defense line and attracted the two Yuanying Zhenjun to take action quickly spread in the Immortal City, causing quite a stir.

There are two Nascent Souls guarding the Immortal City, and if necessary, they can ask for support from other Nascent Souls through the Immortal Alliance. The cultivators in the Immortal City are not too worried, and there was no further news after just two days of discussion.

Of course, for the families behind Bai Qianfeng, Duan Haiyang and Fang Yun, this news was like the sky falling, and it was filled with gloom and sorrow.

After all, for a family of immortal cultivators, the top combat power determines the rise and fall of a family, and most Jindan families can only cultivate one Jindan Zhenren after devoting all their resources. In the past, the death of such a person could almost declare the demise of a family.

Fortunately, the times have changed dramatically nowadays, and the world of immortal cultivation is no longer like the past where families and sects fought for resources and wiped out families at will. The families of Jindan Zhenren who died for the immortal city will be protected by the immortal city. Their future days may be difficult, but they will never be in danger of being wiped out.

In particular, the Crystal Condensing Pill, which was the highlight of the relief, also brought considerable hope to these families. They ignored their grief and instead tried their best to cultivate the next Jindan Zhenren.

On this day, at the main city gate of Longshan Fairy City.

The entire main city is shrouded in the Nine Thunder Demon Subduing Formation. There are monks from the law enforcement team stationed at the two major exits, east and west. Monks who enter the main city for the first time and plan to stay for a long time must obtain a unique identity token, otherwise they will be directly captured by the monks of the law enforcement team as illegal residents and used as cannon fodder.

After all, the main urban area is full of spiritual energy. Even though it is far away from the core of the spiritual vein, the spiritual environment is better than the spiritual vein dojo of most small and medium-sized immortal cultivation families. Longshan will naturally not allow casual cultivators to come here for free. If you want to stay in the city for a long time, you must either pay spiritual money or join the war hall to contribute to the immortal city.

On this morning, in the Dengming Tower at the city gate, Liu Zongxing, the officer in charge of registering and issuing identity badges to the independent cultivators entering the city for the first time, was lying leisurely on the armchair in the inner hall, with two pretty maids beside him, one rubbing his shoulders and the other making spiritual tea for him.

The outer hall is where the names are recorded. This kind of work is done by the people there, so naturally, as the person in charge of foundation building, he doesn't have to lift a finger.

However, just as Liu Zongxing was enjoying his leisure, there was a sudden commotion in the outer hall. Hearing the commotion, he stood up and walked out, shouting:

"What's going on? What are you arguing about?!"

All the disciples who were in charge had stood up and pointed at a monk who was registering in front of them with a look of surprise:
"Master, here is a Jindan Zhenren who wants to stay in our Immortal City for a long time."

Master Jie Dan?

Jindan-level cultivators are the backbone and guests of honor no matter what forces they are in. Especially since the Immortal City lost three real people a few days ago, there is a slight gap in combat power that needs to be filled. Liu Zongxing hurriedly stepped forward, saluted respectfully with a smile on his face, and said:
"I am Liu Zongxing, the head of Dengming Tower. I wonder what this senior's name is. Are you planning to join our Longshan Immortal City?"

"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname. Lu Yuan is the same."

Lu Yuan stated his name in a dignified manner and said calmly:

"I can't say I've joined. I just came here to stay for a while. I'd like to trouble you, Master Liu, to get me an identity badge."

"No problem, no problem!"

Liu Zongxing walked to the counter himself and asked tentatively:

"According to convention, a strange Jindan-stage cultivator like you who comes to Longshan Immortal City for the first time needs to record your origins briefly. I wonder if you?"

Lu Yuan said slowly: "I am a casual cultivator without any roots or background. I don't have any background to speak of. Why doesn't Longshan Immortal City welcome someone like me?" (End of this chapter)
