Hunting Immortals and Demons

I see.

Zhao Sirong understood in her heart.

Zhao Yi's purpose was not to let Lu Ren get the martial arts he wanted easily.

But Zhao Sirong didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Ren killing Zhao Hao.

She felt that even if Zhao Hao was possessed by a monster, he should not do anything to harm the Zhao family for the sake of his own life.

What's even more inappropriate is that after the weirdo was killed and his own life was no longer in danger, he continued to falsely accuse Lu Ren of being a possessed person.

Lu Ren could only fight back to prove his innocence, but she could only do the same.

"Niece Xian, you won't even do this small favor to help your uncle."

Zhao Yi said.

"Uncle, I'm serious. Lu Ren did reveal to me the martial arts he wanted to redeem. Well, it's a first-class martial arts, Red Flame Golden Body."

Zhao Sirong said.

"Red Flame Golden Body, Body Refining Martial Arts."

Zhao Yi nodded, showed a smile, and said: "Thank you Sirong, come and have a drink."

After a while, Zhao Sirong left, and Zhao Yi's face darkened.

"Master, what should we do?"

The steward came over and said.

"What this girl Zhao Sirong said may not be true, but no matter what, send someone to redeem the Red Flame Golden Body first."

Zhao Yi said.

The steward nodded.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Lu Yan came to the business talisman again and saw the old man from before.

"Little brother, you are here, let's go, I will take you to the Cangwu Pavilion today."

The old man smiled.

"Trouble me, senior."

Lu Yan handed over his hand.

The old man led the way, and Lu Yan followed.

The Zhao Clan Martial Arts Pavilion is naturally located on the Bloodline in the center of Lingwang City.

To be honest, Zhao's blood vein is not particularly wide in scope or large in area, but its earth blood energy is particularly strong, far exceeding other second-level blood veins.

It is the top level two blood leyline.

Watchtowers and arrow towers were built all over the Bloodline, and military troops patrolled them at all times.

On top of the arrow tower is definitely a large armor-piercing crossbow with extraordinary power. It is said that the strongest armor-piercing crossbow can threaten martial arts masters at the fifth level of Wuhou.

Lu Yan followed the old man, passed through numerous guards, and finally came to a luxurious pavilion.

Above the gate of the pavilion, there are three characters written: Zangwu Pavilion.

All around, military patrols were even tighter.

There were many masters at the Wuhou level among them, and Lu Yan even wondered if there were masters around.

The pavilion has four floors.

"You can only go to the third floor. Go ahead. After borrowing it, you can come here to deduct your battle merit."

The old man said.

Lu Yan nodded and stepped into the door on the first floor.

On the first floor, there are rows of shelves, all filled with miscellaneous books.

Lu Yan didn't stop and climbed up the stairs to the second floor, then the third floor.

There are much fewer books on the third floor, only a few dozen.

But each book is packed in an iron box and sealed.

Lu Yan wandered around and looked at everything.

Red flame golden body, nine-turn mysterious sword, heavy tower with flying snow.

The first-class martial arts made Lu Yan's heart flutter.

However, the box of the Red Flame Golden Body has been opened and it is empty inside.

"Hold it for now. After you have perfected the Heart Tempering Art, if you still have merit in battle, it won't be too late to redeem it."

Lu Yan suppressed his restless heart, turned around, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

On one of the iron boxes, there was a note that read: "Quenching Heart Jue".

Lu Yan picked up the Heart Tempering Art, went to the first floor, and registered it.

"Quenching Heart Jue is different from first-class martial arts. It must be returned within three months."

An old woman registering at the door said coldly.

"It's senior."

Lu Yan nodded.

"Also, give me the battle merit token."

The old woman said.

Lu Yan took out the battle merit token, and the other party took out special paint, painted out the previous number, and wrote a new number: eight hundred and fifty.

Lu Yan was very excited after successfully redeeming the Heart Tempering Jue. He went down the mountain with the old man and couldn't wait to return to his residence to open it and watch.

Half an hour later, Lu Yan closed the secret book of Tempering Heart Jue with a complicated look on his face.

The rumors are indeed correct. It is indeed extremely difficult and demanding to practice the mind-quenching technique.

Tempering Heart Jue, unlike other martial arts, does not have levels such as entry, minor success, integration, and perfection.

There are only eight levels of tempering the mind.

Refining the first level is considered an introduction.

But after getting started, it has little impact on the heart.

If you want to increase your chances of success when you break through to the Grandmaster level, you must at least practice to the fifth level.

After reaching the fifth level of cultivation, the heart will undergo transformation and become as tough as silk.

After that, every time it improves to a level, the heart will transform and become stronger and stronger.

It is said that after cultivating to the highest eighth level, the heart will become extremely strong, like the heart of a dragon.

People's vitality will also be enhanced, and even their longevity will be improved.

These effects can be described as heaven-defying.

But the difficulty of cultivation is too great.

Just to get started on the first level, you need to use the heart of a second-level alien beast, plus three pounds of alienated heart meat, and eighteen kinds of precious elixirs.

These alone are not enough, you also need to find a pure blood cave, put all the previous materials into the pure blood cave, soak your body into the blood cave, absorb the energy of those materials, and go through seven or forty-nine days. , to succeed.

This is still the first level.

Starting from the second level, the introductions are rarer and more precious.

The second-level alienated beast king's heart bead is the main material for breaking through to the grandmaster realm.

There are also the third-level alienated beast king's heart, the century-old tiger king's heart, and later even ridiculous conditions such as the dragon's heart are required.

No wonder the Heart Tempering Art has been lost.

Who can make it? Even if you master the first level, you won't be able to master the subsequent ones.

But for Lu Yan, starting from the second floor, there is no need to look at it, just look at the first floor.

"Eighteen kinds of spiritual grass are easy to find. Three pounds of alienated heart meat is also available. The heart of a second-level alien beast is hidden in the blood veins. There happens to be a blood-armored lizard king. This pure blood cave is a bit difficult to deal with. I don’t know if I can exchange it for military exploits.”

Lu Yan thought.

After reading various miscellaneous books at Li's for three months, he did not read in vain. He had seen records about the pure blood cave.

The pure blood cave can only be born on the second-level blood earth veins. It is a natural blood cave that contains a special liquid, like blood, filled with rich earth blood energy.

Ordinary earth blood energy is blood poisonous, but the liquid in the pure blood cave has no blood poison at all. The human body can directly absorb it and has healing effects.

Warriors who fight all year round will leave hidden wounds in their bodies. If they practice in the pure blood cave for a period of time, they can recuperate their bodies and eliminate the hidden wounds in their bodies.

However, pure blood caves are very rare, and second-level blood leylines are only likely to be born, but they are not certain to be born.

In fact, there are only two places with pure blood caves in the entire six counties of Lingdong.

One is the Zhao family of Lingwang City, and the other is the Gao family of Nanyi City.

No wonder Zhao collects the Heart Tempering Jue, perhaps because there happens to be a pure blood cave.

"It's better to go ask the two people in the affairs office."

Lu Yan thought about it, then took out the Heart Tempering Art, read it carefully a few times, memorized the contents inside, then went out and came to the Affairs Office again.

"Why are you here again? Is something wrong?"

An old man saw Lu Yan and asked curiously.

"Senior, I would like to ask, can the pure blood cave of the nobles be exchanged for military exploits?"

Lu Yan cupped his fists and said.

"The pure blood cave only has a healing effect. Why, you have a hidden injury and want to enter it for healing?"

The old man asked curiously.

"Yes, senior."

Lu Yan nodded.

"The pure blood cave can indeed be exchanged for military merit. I will check for you to see if anyone is using it."

The old man nodded, turned and left, then returned after a while and said: "The pure blood cave is currently being used by someone. Come back in a month."

"Thank you, senior."

Since he could redeem it with military exploits, Lu Yan was convinced that the materials were not ready yet, and it would be suitable in a month.

Leaving the Affairs Office, he went to the largest chamber of commerce in Lingwang City to inquire about the whereabouts of the eighteen elixirs.

The eighteen kinds of elixirs were not rare items. After asking, they bought thirteen kinds, and there were five kinds left. Lu Yan planned to go back to Baicao City to buy them.

Baicao City is famous for its elixirs, and there are more types of elixirs than Lingwang City.

After buying fifteen kinds of elixirs and carrying them on his back, Lu Yan left Lingwang City and headed towards Baicao City at full speed.

There was no delay on the way, the speed was much faster, and we returned to Baicao City in less than ten days.

Call Li Quan immediately and ask him to find out the whereabouts of the remaining five elixirs.

One day later, Li Quan sent the remaining five elixirs to Lu Yan.

Eighteen kinds of elixirs have been obtained, and the alienated heart meat is ready. Now, only the second-level beast king's heart is left.

Lu Yan held a knife and came to the blood veins of Changfeng City to attack the second-level blood-armored lizard king.

The second-level Blood-armored Lizard King has the combat power of a Wuhou-level, and he is not an ordinary Wuhou. I am afraid that if ordinary Wuhou comes again, he will not be able to match the Blood-armored Lizard King.

But in front of Lu Yan now, it was completely inadequate.

One knife pierced the blood-armored lizard king's neck.

The blood-armored lizard king roared and attacked wildly. After a moment, he fell down.

Lu Yan cut open the blood-armored lizard king's chest, cut out the blood-armored lizard king's heart, and put it into a food box made of red blood jade.

Of course, the remaining blood-armored lizard king meat cannot be wasted.

The blood-armored lizard king has not mutated, so all its flesh and blood can be used. The flesh of this blood-armored lizard king is estimated to weigh two thousand kilograms.

The value is amazing.

Because usually the price of uncooked second-grade exotic animal meat is only twenty-two pounds.

The meat of the second-level alien beast king is more expensive, at least forty taels per kilogram.

Two thousand catties is eighty thousand taels of silver.

Lu Yan divided it into pieces and secretly transported it back to Baicao City, where Li Quan and Wang Lin sold it secretly.

The flesh and blood of the second-level alien beast king is undoubtedly very popular, and it is sold out as soon as it appears.

Li Quan and Wang Lin did not dare to release too much at once, but released a little every day.

More than ten days later, all the flesh and blood of a blood-armored lizard king was sold out, and Lu Yan had more than 80,000 taels of silver in his pocket.

Lu Yan took the materials and rushed to Lingwang City again.

Lingwang City, Zhao Yi's residence.

"Then Lu Ren actually redeemed the Heart Tempering Art. Humph, that girl Zhao Sirong really didn't tell the truth. She turned her elbows outward."

Zhao Yi's eyes were extremely cold.

"Master, what should we do now?"

The steward asked in a low voice, fearing to ignite Zhao Yi.

"Quenching Heart Decision, I have seen it before."

Zhao Yi said.

He has an innate martial body, so he is naturally very interested in special martial arts that can increase the chance of breaking through to become a master.

But after he read it, he gave up the idea of ​​practicing.

At the first entry level, with his status and strength, he can still get it together.

But starting from the second level, the required introductions were too rare, and he couldn't get them together.

Starting from the third level, not to mention him, it was difficult to get help from the entire Zhao family.

The key is that if you practice the first few levels, it won’t be of much use, so you have to practice to the fifth level.

Although he gave up the idea of ​​practicing, he still kept the contents in his heart.

"This Lu Ren actually exchanged for the Tempering Heart Art. This person probably also has an innate martial body, but wanting to use the Heart Tempering Art to increase the chance of breaking through to become a Grandmaster is just a dream."

He didn't believe that anyone in the six counties of Lingdong could refine the Heart Tempering Art.

Except for those top wealthy families and princes outside the six counties of Lingdong.

"But even so, I can't let you practice to the first level. To practice the first level, you need to use the pure blood cave. This person will probably exchange it for military achievements."

Zhao Yi analyzed it and then ordered: "Send someone to locate the pure blood cave in the name of healing."

Although he was sure that Lu Yan wouldn't be able to practice the tempering technique later on, he would do it if he could stop Lu Yan.

"yes."

The steward nodded.

Lu Yan spent ten days returning to his residence.

Then he put all the materials into an iron box at his residence, dug a pit in his bedroom, and buried the iron box in it.

After the burial, Lu Yan immediately rushed to the Zhao Family Affairs Office.

"You're late. The Pure Blood Cave has been booked again. If you want to redeem it, you can only exchange it next month."

The old man from the affairs office said.

"Have you been targeted again?"

Lu Yan frowned.

He had inquired about it, and the pure blood cave was rarely used by people on weekdays.

Why are you using it so frequently these days?

Is it because of the evil attack on the city last time that many people were injured?

"Senior, can you make a reservation in advance for next month?"

Lu Yan asked.

"It's too early to make a reservation now. You can make a reservation ten days in advance at most. You can come back twenty days later."

The old man said.

Lu Yan had no choice but to leave and wait patiently.

He purchased a batch of martial arts and concentrated on improving Yun Zhongbu.

More than ten days later, Yun Zhongbu broke through to the state of transcendence and moved towards the integration of man and martial arts.

Twenty days later, he calculated the time and came to the Affairs Office again.

But I was told that the Pure Blood Cave next month has also been booked.

"Senior, what's going on? I arrived at the right time. Why was it decided so quickly?"

Lu Yan said with an ugly expression.

"Some senior people within the Zhao family used their connections to make reservations in advance, but I was unable to help."

The old man shook his head.

"A senior member of the Zhao family? Is it Zhao Yi? Is he deliberately disgusting me?"

Lu Yan thought of Zhao Yi first.

Being booked in advance several times in a row was either a coincidence or someone was targeting me.

If someone is targeted, and it's a senior member of the Zhao family, then it's only Zhao Yi.

"Zhao Yi."

A cold look flashed in Lu Yan's eyes.

Don't let him find the opportunity, otherwise he will be killed.

"what to do?"

Lu Yan thought about it over and over again, and finally thought of Zhao Sirong.

We can only ask Zhao Sirong for help.

Find Zhao Sirong and tell him about this matter.

"I will ask my father to use his connections within the clan to help you reserve the Pure Blood Cave. Don't worry, in order to show fairness, as long as there is competition within the Zhao clan of the Pure Blood Cave, they cannot be occupied by a certain faction for a long time. They need to take turns."

Zhao Sirong readily agreed.

Lu Yan was greatly moved and had the urge to hold Zhao Sirong in his arms.

What a good girl.
