Starting from the daily settlement, there will be a left-behind fairy king.

Feel sorry】

A few more days.

Wen Jiu stepped on the Demon-Slaying Sword and pushed open the door.

When he turned around, he saw Yan Xue hanging the cut monster skins outside the door to dry, with worry in her watery eyes.

obviously.

Li Fu has not returned yet.

"Brother Li hasn't come back yet?" Wen Jiu asked.

Yan Xue nodded and looked out of Blackwater Town with melancholy, "It's been almost five days, and I don't know what's going on with him."

"It should be no problem."

Wen Jiu comforted him.

But I don't believe this sentence in my heart.

Hey?
and many more.

Why do I still have the feeling that something happens to Li Fu?

This damn evil thought!

Get out of my mind!

……

A few more days.

The experience points of the Demon-Removing Sword Technique reached the upper level as expected.

When it reaches the full point, the experience value has indeed entered a new realm - the extreme realm.

But once you reach the limit, you can no longer gain experience.

However, after entering the extreme realm, the sword skills of the demon-killing sword have made a qualitative leap. Holding the demon-killing sword in hand, the lethality of each sword has at least doubled. The sword energy that originally needed to be released by luck can now be released at will.

Moreover, the sword energy released by the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique is no longer half a foot, but close to one foot in length.

The lethality and speed are far beyond before.

I just don't know what the maximum killing range of this sword energy is, and how many times I can release my current magic power.

With this idea.

Wen Jiu then came up with the idea of ​​leaving Heishui Town and finding a deserted place to practice his sword skills. After all, there was no place in Heishui Town for him to show his skills.

The most important thing is that he doesn't want people to know that he has this trick.

……

Just do it.

Early in the morning, Wen Jiu set out for the outside of Heishui Town.

While walking out, Wen Jiu stared at the Demon-Eating Gu in the Gu box. He would not go anywhere where the Demon-Eating Gu was moving.

As he walked, Wen Jiu began to calculate his recent income and expenditure, as he had been busy practicing during this period.

Now, after the initial groundwork and preparation, he can produce a demon-eating Gu in two days.

At the end of the month, he could earn a stable income of fifteen low-grade spirit stones.

He also had nearly ten low-grade spirit stones saved up.

You can stop working as a butcher in the butcher shop at any time.

Let’s put aside the cost of switching to first-grade low-quality spiritual rice every month.

Three low-grade spiritual stones.

And occasionally eat demon meat.

Two low-grade spirit stones.

Then he offered the rent for three lower-grade spirit stones.

You can save up seven low-grade spirit stones in a month.

As for why we have to change to eating first-grade low-quality spiritual rice, it is because spiritual rice has the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow and nourishing the spiritual body.

It is just right to remove the toxins that have been accumulated in the body of the demon-killing butcher for ten years.

If the toxins are not cleared, it will be difficult to practice in the future.

So this expenditure is necessary.

As for the demon meat.

Not greedy.

But because it also has the effect of strengthening the body, and is stronger than magical rice.

"Things are getting better..."

The more Wen Jiu took stock, the happier he became.

pity.

It means that the progress of cultivation is slow.

In Heishui Town, which is like a rootless duckweed, the pressure of survival is still great.

If something really happened, anyone with Qi training level getting involved would definitely die.

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu's joy gradually faded away.

Soon, the bottomless dense forest outside Blackwater Town came into view, but what attracted Wen Jiu's attention more were the houses on the edge of Blackwater Town.

Each room has many signs of repairs, and claw marks can be seen everywhere on the brick walls, and even human blood, broken arms and eerie bones can be seen. But even so, there are still people living in them, just because they are cheap.

Mortals who do not have a deep family background can only live here in the early days of coming to Blackwater Town. In fact, the original owner lived here for seven or eight years before moving into the town.

The person living here does not have the same bright smile and vitality on his face as his new neighbor next door.

Their faces were filled with helpless worry about tomorrow.

Just as he was about to leave Heishui Town, Wen Jiu suddenly stopped, looked at the bottomless dense forest outside Heishui Town and fell into endless fantasies.

But considering that they were on the edge of Blackwater Town, there shouldn't be any danger in broad daylight, and he couldn't stay in a safe area forever.

So Wen Jiu took a confident step forward.

……

Following the forest path trampled by millions of people, Wen Jiu came to a secluded place away from the main road.

What came into view was a pile of rocks as hard as a demon's armor.

Different sizes.

But it's at least half a person's height.

Although he didn't know why there were so many stones in the forest, Wen Jiu thought that this would be a good place to test his sword.
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu drew out the Demon-Slaying Sword and slashed at the nearest rock without releasing any sword energy.

Swish!
The demon-slaying knife was raised and slashed, and the rocks cracked. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and Wen Jiu could not feel any resistance at all.

Repeat the experiment several times.

Same effect.

And the consumption to him is minimal.

In other words, if he doesn't release his sword energy, he can keep fighting!
Immediately afterwards, Wen Jiu retreated a little, ready to test the attack range and distance attenuation of his sword energy.

Raise your hand.

Draw the knife.

Swah——

The blue blade energy slashed out along the Demon-Slaying Sword, rushing at lightning speed, and then fell three feet away with a loud bang.

A huge rock three meters away exploded with a loud noise.

There was quite a bit of movement.

And the sword energy did not stop. It flew a distance of ten feet and stopped only after it penetrated into the trunk of a towering tree.

Very deep into the wood!

Wen Jiu was very happy about this.

Then he slashed at the air again, letting the sword energy run wild, and then compared the differences between the two sword energies.

After a simple comparison, Wen Jiu had a clearer understanding of the Extreme Realm Demon-Slaying Sword Method. Within three meters, there would be no attenuation of lethality. Beyond three meters, the speed and lethality would attenuate, and the attenuation would increase with the distance.

As for consumption.

With one slash of the knife, one third of the magic power in his dantian was drained away.

That is to say, given his current condition, he can only use this sword technique three times, and his magic power will be exhausted after three times.

"Although it was only three times, it was enough...I don't think an ordinary demon could withstand my blow."

A smile appeared on Wen Jiu's lips.

Very satisfied with the result.

However, when he thought about the noise he made when he chopped the boulder with his sword, he hurried back, not daring to stay where he was.

As for continuing to walk out and take a look.

Wen Jiu had no such plan.

Wait until you become stronger.

Wen Jiu was daydreaming as he walked.

After entering the second level of Qi training, the lethality and number of uses of the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique will increase.

Until then.

His fighting power will increase again.

...It was shortly after Wen Jiu left.

An old monk carrying a wooden box appeared in the dense forest. As he watched the boulder turn into pieces on the ground, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.

Because he had specially asked someone to find it and planned to carve it into a stone statue to give to Mr. Qi as a gift for his 80th birthday.

"Who are you? Who are you? You have nothing better to do? This black saltpeter is worthless, but its hardness is comparable to that of a first-level demon. You can break it easily. Why don't you go hunt demons? Instead, you are chopping rocks for fun! Damn it!"

After returning to Heishui Town, Wen Jiu rushed back to his residence without stopping and did not go to the butcher's shop to do his job as a demon-killing butcher.

Instead, he closed the door and began to meditate and practice Changmo Gong, at the same time making up for the consumption caused by the two previous slashes.

to be frank.

Wen Jiu couldn't calm down for a long time.

Because the feeling of actually using the demon-killing sword technique just now was so exciting and made my blood boil.

When he was on Blue Star, he grew up watching martial arts TV dramas, and was fascinated by the swordplay, knife skills, and wall-climbing techniques depicted in the dramas.

I also once dreamed of becoming a hero one day.

So after watching the TV series, I carved a wooden sword out of some wood that day, and took the sword to my neighbor's house to practice with him overnight.

When he grew up, faced with studies, work and life, he no longer had this idea.

When I look back at martial arts films, at most I can only sigh a little, lamenting my once innocent childhood.

Now that he has really become such a person, how can he not be excited... It would be great if he could travel back in time.

a long time.

Only then did Wen Jiu calm down.

He suddenly felt infinitely curious about this world, and if possible, he really wanted to go deep into the dense forest to take a look.

pity.

This world is filled with demons, evil spirits, and monsters. Although they won't appear together, just one of them is enough to make people suffer.

Not to mention the poisonous weeds, insects, etc. in this world.

The primeval forests of Blue Star are full of dangers. Ordinary people will be in great danger once they enter, let alone the world of immortal cultivation.

So this thought just flashed through my mind.

But it was buried in my heart.

Like a seed.

……

into the night.

After midnight, the daily accounts are settled again.

Today, Wen Jiu practiced the Changmo Gong for nine hours, preparing to reach the second level of Qi training as soon as possible.

The experience points of the second level of Changmo Gong have reached one hundred and forty, and there are only sixty points left to reach two hundred.

If the experience points do not decay, then he only needs to practice for another six days to enter the second level of Qi training.

Although the second level of Qi training at the age of thirty is still considered the bottom level, but if one has reached the second level of Qi training, how far can the third level be?

Three years.

Five years.

He can accept it.

As long as you're making progress, that's fine.

If you can step into the third level of Qi training, it will be a new world - because after the third level of Qi training, you can drive magic tools and fly with swords.

For flying with a sword.

Wen Jiu yearns for it infinitely.

However, if the current situation continues, there is a high probability that the experience points gained will decrease after entering the second level of Qi training.

How much it will attenuate is still unknown.

But there is a way that should be able to increase experience points.

That is the spiritual stone auxiliary training.

Spirit stones have never been as simple as currency. They are actually important tools for cultivation in the world of immortals.

It's just that low-level Qi training cultivators, who would be willing to use spirit stones for cultivation? After all, you may not be able to earn a few pieces from one.

But if I increase the output of poisonous insects, maybe I can have extra spirit stones to assist me in my practice.

You can improve a lot faster if you enter the third level of Qi training.

"No matter if it works or not, let's try it first... raise the Gu!" Wen Jiu's eyes instantly fell on the Gu plate in the corner.

Wait until midnight.

Wen Jiu then sat cross-legged and continued to use the Yin-Yin technique to draw the Yin energy of the Yin hour into the Gu worm and strengthen its weak vitality.

soon.

A poisonous insect egg moved.

About to break out of the shell.

A low-grade spirit stone will soon be credited to the account!
"Baby, come on!"

Wen Jiu couldn't help but praise him.

Looking at the ugly poisonous insect again, it is extremely pleasing to the eye.

really.

Value-added appearance.

……

The next day.

Wen Jiu came to the trading market again.

He had originally planned to sell all the Monster Eating Gu and leave, but he didn't expect that the flow of people in the trading market today would be three to five times higher than before. In less than a moment, the Monster Eating Gu on his stall was bought by a casual cultivator at the third level of Qi training.

The efficiency is quite high.

This surprised Wen Jiu a little.

Seeing this, Wen Jiu subconsciously asked the old monk who made a living by setting up a stall and acting as a middleman, "Senior, what happened?"

The old cultivator glanced at Wen Jiu and said calmly, "It's none of your business. There's no point in asking. Don't you see that most of these people are at the third level of Qi training? Some are at the fourth level. You're at the first level, so you'd better just focus on raising Gu."

Hearing this, Wen Jiu became even more curious, "Old senior, tell me in detail, I will bring you a pot of wine the day after tomorrow."

When he heard that there was wine, the old monk's expression eased a little, "I like to help people solve their doubts. Remember to order the Li family's apricot wine... In fact, these people are all rushing to join the Qi family and go out to hunt monsters."

The words fall.

The old monk looked at everyone with a look of envy in his eyes.

"With Elder Qi, who is in the late stage of Qi training, leading the team to hunt demons, it is a sure thing, and the risk is close to zero." The old cultivator sighed, "But the Qi family does not accept old cultivators, and only wants those who are above the third level of Qi training."

"Will the Qi family be so nice?"

Wen Jiu tried to ask a question.

The old cultivator smiled and said, "It's not that the Qi family is so kind, but it won't be long before the demons enter the migration period. A large number of demons will pass through the Lanyue Valley a hundred miles outside of Blackwater Town, so the Qi family will gather the scattered cultivators to hunt the demons together."

"I see."

Wen Jiu looked at the independent cultivators who were full of expectations and buying talismans and magic tools in large quantities, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should be envious.

It's still time to express emotion.

But the four words "demon migration" kept flashing through my mind.

I'm afraid things are not that simple.

……

On the way home, Wen Jiu kept thinking about the possible risks of the demon migration. He planned to buy some talismans for self-defense another day, but when he walked to a deserted place, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the alley beside the road.

With lightning speed, he raised his hand and stabbed him with a sword. The speed was steady, accurate and ruthless, and it was obvious that he wanted to kill him.

Wen Jiu quickly drew out the Demon-Slaying Sword and instantly slashed out seven or eight times to force back the sudden sword.

"I didn't expect that you could actually use the magic sword technique." An old voice sounded from under the mask that only revealed the eyes.

Wen Jiu had never heard this voice before.

But I always feel that the atmosphere is somewhat familiar.

Seeing that the other person was a second-level Qi training master with a strong aura, he did not dare to get entangled with him for too long and ran towards where there might be people.

"Escape? You're only at the first level of Qi training, and you still want to escape?" The masked man grinned grimly and flew out with the sword in his hand like a poisonous snake.

But just the next moment.

Wen Jiu suddenly stopped.

He turned around and slashed with his sword.

A foot-long blade flew out in an instant and killed him like lightning, leaving the masked man no chance to react.

The masked man was shocked.

It seemed that he couldn't believe this scene at all.

It is even more unbelievable that there is really someone who can practice the demon-killing sword technique to such a high level.

But before he could react, the knife energy fell on him.

The sword is broken.

People die.

In just a moment.

When the mask was split in half and fell off, a familiar face came into view - it was the harmless old monk. (End of this chapter)
