Start from the Martial Arts

Five days later.

Fang Xiu circled along the eastern periphery of the Soul-Broken Mountains and headed towards the direction of Yan State.

Except for Han Lin, the first generation leader of the Changsheng Sect, the other leaders who entered the Soul-Broken Mountains were probably killed on the way to Anping Market.

He bought a more detailed map of the Soul-Broken Mountains at the Treasure Pavilion, but he almost took the wrong road.

If you enter the Soul-Broken Mountains without a map, you have to rely on your strength to fight your way out.

With Fang Xiu's current strength, killing a first-level upper-grade monster is not a problem.

However, there is no guarantee of a quick victory, which is easy to cause a huge commotion.

Although there is no problem with the map in Fang Xiu's hand, some places are occupied by first-level upper-grade monsters, so he has to take a detour in most cases.

Only when he encounters a small number of first-level medium-grade monsters will he attack with thunder.

"Squeak... Hey...""

The wind rat jumped from the top of the tall tree canopy in front, opened its flying membrane, glided down, and landed on Fang Xiu's shoulder.

There are no powerful monsters ahead.

"Very good. "Fang Xiu took out the monster meat from the storage bag and tore off a large piece for Feng Shu.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" Feng Shu stuffed the dried meat into his mouth, puffed up his cheeks, and chewed hard.

The easiest way to strengthen the monster bloodline is to eat.

Eat the flesh and blood of powerful monsters, eat high-year spiritual medicines, or refine the inner pills of monsters of the same origin.

Among the three conditions, Fang Xiu can only meet the first one at present.

He himself does not have high-year spiritual medicines, as for the inner pills of monsters, they can only be condensed by second-level monsters.

Even if Fang Xiu has these things, he will use them first.

Raising wind rats is mainly to relieve boredom.

The wind rats are not strong, but their speed is acceptable. They can still act as scouts to explore the way home.

Relying on the wind rats' exploration and warnings, Fang Xiu avoided many powerful monsters' territories along the way.

"At this speed, it is estimated that we can go home in more than ten days. "

Fang Xiu also took a bite of the dried meat, took out the jade slip and put it on his forehead, preparing to adjust the next route.

"Squeak-squeak-squeak!"

The wind rat suddenly stood up and screamed at the forest in front of the right.

"Who is it?!" Fang Xiu probed with his mind.

"Hey!"

A white-haired rat the size of a palm rushed out of the forest.

The white-haired rat had a small tuft of red hair on its forehead, and it exuded a mana fluctuation comparable to that of a mid-stage Qi Refining.

"Hmm? This is..." Fang Xiu's eyes condensed, this rat demon seemed to be very similar to Yan Shou's golden-haired rat. Rustling...

Footsteps were heard in the forest.

A bald old man in a black robe with white eyebrows and white hair came out, holding a golden-haired rat in his hand.

"Manager Wei? "Fang Xiu's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that the person who came was Wei Jiang.

From the look of the other party, it was obvious that he didn't meet Fang Xiu by chance.

"Fang Daoyou, you made it difficult for me to find you. If it weren't for this golden-haired rat, I'm afraid I really couldn't find you."

Wei Jiang smiled.

"I wonder why Manager Wei is looking for me?"

Fang Xiu's body was tense, and he released his divine sense to explore the surroundings, but did not find any traces of Yan Shou and others.

Wei Jiang felt the fluctuation of Fang Xiu's divine sense, and reached out to gently stroke the fur of the golden-haired rat.

"Fang Daoyou, don't be nervous. Junior Brother Yan doesn't know about this. As for my coming here, I have no ill intentions. I just want to ask, you should not have forgotten that we should have an agreement between us, right?"

Fang Xiu frowned slightly and said:

"The agreement for helping is settled on a monthly basis, and this month has ended.

Fang Daoyou Yan also said at the beginning that I can not go at any time. "

"Then Fang Daoyou shouldn't leave without saying goodbye, right? "Wei Jiang asked back.

Fang Xiu bowed his hands and said: "..:::. I am not thoughtful about this matter. I apologize to Manager Wei.

I was thinking of going home first and then coming back after a while. "

Wei Jiang smiled and said:

"Actually, the reason I came to you is because the forging of Red Star Iron has entered the most critical moment.

I hope that Fellow Daoist Fang can go home a year or two later. When the forging is completed, I will give you another generous gift. "

"This...:::.. Manager Wei, why should you be in a hurry? It doesn't seem too late to let me go home first? Besides, it is not necessary for me to forge Red Star Iron. I can also find other warriors and body-refining soil in the market." Fang Xiu pondered.

"Fellow Daoist Fang must go back now?" The smile on Wei Jiang's face gradually faded.

"I have something urgent to go home, and I have to go now! "Fang Xiu was determined.

Wei Jiang nodded, patted his storage bag, and a piece of cloth emitting magical power flew out.

"Then please sign this contract before leaving, Fellow Daoist Fang."

Wei Jiang waved his hand, and the cloth slowly flew to Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu took the cloth, and when he saw the content on it, his face looked a little unhappy.

The contract stated that Fang Xiu must return to Anping Market within two months and must not delay for any reason.

If he returns as agreed, he can enjoy the same treatment as the steward.

During this period, he needs to assist Wei Jiang in refining the weapon until the top-grade magic weapon Thunder Fire Sword is successfully refined.

Otherwise, he will have to work for the Treasure Pavilion for ten years.

Although the contract does not have a great impact on the cultivators as the oath of the inner demon, it also has a certain binding force.

Especially since this contract was issued by the Treasure Pavilion, once Fang Xiu violated the agreement of the contract, he would not be allowed to enter Anping Market or any store under the control of the Taiqing Sword Sect.

The most important thing is that he will be investigated by the Taiqing Sword Sect.

"Shopkeeper Wei, the contents of this legal deed are a bit overwhelming, right?"

Fang Xiu frowned slightly and returned the deed to Wei Jiang with a wave of his hand.

"If Fellow Daoist Fang feels it is inappropriate, then change it." Wei Jiang smiled lightly.

He threw out another legal deed to Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu took the legal deed and checked it.

The conditions of this legal deed are obviously much better.

But he still asked Fang Xiu to go back with Wei Jiang immediately, which could be as soon as one year or as slowly as two years.

Wei Jiang is so anxious, obviously Red Star Iron needs to absorb more energy and blood power.

Once you sign the contract, you won't have a choice about many things.

." Fang Xiu looked at the Dharma Deed and remained silent.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, you have to know that I, Wei Jiang, have a good reputation in Anpingfang City for my work. This is my greatest sincerity. I hope you can give me face."

Wei Jiang's tone was calm, but the meaning in his words was threatening.

"Is this considered courtesy first and then fighting?" Fang Xiu narrowed his eyes. If we fight Wei Jiang, can we kill him?

"That's understandable."

Wei Jiang smiled.

"Then...:.:" Fang Xiu's face looked uncertain, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked behind Wei Jiang.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, why do you need to..." Wei Jiangqing. The next moment, there was an explosion and terrifying heat behind him.

Boom boom boom!

A giant fireball the size of a water tank roared in, turning trees into char wherever the high temperature reached.

Explosive Flame Technique!

Fang Xiu retreated sharply.

Wei Jiang jumped high into the air.

The two of them avoided the attack of the Explosive Flame Technique at the same time.

"Hey!" The golden-haired rat was unlucky and was swallowed up by the fireball, not even the dregs were left.

boom!

The fireball landed on the boulder in front, and the top of the boulder exploded. Under the high temperature, the rock at the bottom turned into a red fluid, like flowing magma. The grass blades were scorched, and thick smoke rose.

"roar!"

Where Fang Xiu and Wei Jiang were standing just now, the land was full of cracks and bulges.

The huge demonic beast was earth-yellow and looked like a shrimp that had been enlarged countless times. It opened its round mouthparts full of sharp teeth and bit hard at Wei Jiang.

Smells! !

A sharp crackle and friction sound suddenly exploded.

At the critical moment, a golden shield like a golden bell appeared around Wei Jiang, blocking the monster's bloody mouth.

The sharp teeth bit the golden bell until it was dented and deformed, but still could not break through the golden bell's defense.

This is the defensive ability of the Golden Bell Technique, the strongest defensive spell in the Qi refining period.

The black robe that Wei Jiang wore was full of aura, and it was actually a first-level, high-quality robe with the Golden Bell Technique.

"Earth Dragon Beast?!" Fang Xiu's expression changed slightly as he looked at the giant earthworm beast that emerged from the ground.

It is more than ten feet long and has a terrifying body shape as thick as a water tank. Only a first-level high-grade earth dragon beast can have such power.

call out!

The hot breath hit, and more than a dozen lantern-sized fireballs split into two parts.

Most of the bombardment hit the surface of Jin Zhongshu, causing the golden shield on Wei Jiang's body to fluctuate violently, and dense cracks appeared under the bite of the monster's sharp teeth.

A few scattered fireballs blasted towards Fang Xiu in the distance.

Pipi this...

Fang Xiu threw out two fine water curtain charms. Two walls of water more than one foot wide blocked the fireball.

A person flashed out of the woods opposite.

"Is it him?!" Fang Xiu's expression changed slightly.

The person's entire body was covered in black robes, and his appearance could not be clearly seen, but the red flag in his hand was unrecognizable.

The toad embroidered on the flag flashes red and spits out flames.

Ghost Shura!

Boom!

A dazzling white light lit up in the forest, forming a silver-white light group with a radius of one foot, and then there was a loud thunder-like sound.

"Ho Yi Yi!

The earth dragon beast roared in pain, like real sound waves rippling in the air.

The Dengyun Boots and Fengling Magic Robe were activated at the same time, and Fang Xiu retreated immediately, retreating from a distance of more than twenty feet in an instant.

He looked carefully and saw Wei Jiang's figure appearing above the silver-white light group, with three layers of yellow light masks superimposed on the body.

There is also a golden bell mask inside.

It turned out that when Wei Jiang broke through the Golden Bell Technique, in order to avoid the Earth Dragon Beast's attack, he threw a small thunder talisman directly into its mouth.

And he escaped with the help of the magical speed effect of the first-level high-grade robe. To be on the safe side, he affixed three golden light masks and a golden bell talisman to himself.

Under the aftermath of the attack of the exquisite small thunder talisman, the four layers of defense shields were broken simultaneously, and the three layers of golden light shields were broken simultaneously, and cracks appeared in the innermost golden bell.

It is conceivable that if it were a direct blow, the Golden Bell Talisman might not be able to block it.

"So strong!" Fang Xiu took a breath.

When the white light dissipated, the scene in front of him was even more shocking.

The Earth Dragon Beast curled up, with only a few blood holes the size of a human head appearing on its waist. The wounds were scorched, and rose-colored blood flowed out.

The Earth Dragon Beast took a fine small thunder talisman at close range and was not killed. It was not even seriously injured.

Where did Ghost Shura get such a powerful monster? !

"Who is my fellow Taoist, and why did you attack me?!" Wei Jiang distanced himself from the Earth Dragon Beast, holding a crimson sword embryo, which was the piece of red star iron.

Today's Red Star Iron exudes powerful mana fluctuations, and its aura has exceeded that of ordinary high-grade magic weapons.

Facing the fireball that hit directly in front of him, Wei Jiang waved the Red Star Iron Sword embryo in his hand, releasing a strange scarlet sword light, which easily defeated the fireball. "? How many brushes does the old guy have?" Ghost Shura said in surprise. .

Wei Jiang's mind swept across Ghost Shura's body and sensed a powerful wave of magic power, which was more than twice as strong as him, and his eyes suddenly changed.

"I am an inner disciple of the Taiqing Sword Sect and the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion in Anpingfang City. If there was a misunderstanding just now, please give me some face, fellow Taoist! Just pretend that this matter never happened."

Wei Jiang glanced at the Earth Dragon Beast that had re-entered the ground next to him, and felt awe-struck in his heart.

In order to prevent being attacked by a sneak attack, he jumped onto the trunk of a tree over three feet high.

"Old guy, you are really forgetful! Why didn't you want to give me face at the auction a few days ago?

Ye Gui Shura grabbed the collar with his right hand, raised it hard, and took off the black robe that covered his whole body.

Wei Jiang looked at the ugly appearance of the big man in purple robes and his skin that looked like it had been burned by fire, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Are you...Ghost Shura?!"

"Old guy, I didn't expect you to go out with the Foundation Establishment Pill." Ghost Shura sneered.

"You're following me?!" Wei Jiang was shocked. He didn't expect that he would be followed by such a troublesome person as Gui Shura when he went out.

The most important thing is that when Gui Shura was wanted, his cultivation was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Ghost Shura's current mana is more than double that of Wei Jiang, who is also at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

He has entered the state of perfect Qi refining!

boom!

There was a loud noise not far behind Wei Jiang, and the Earth Dragon Beast emerged from the ground again.

However, the target of the attack was Fang Xiu.

"Earthdramon! Capture that boy alive!"

Ghost Shura ordered.

Fang Xiu retreated steadily under the attacks of the Earth Dragon Beast, surrounded by dangers, and fled towards the distant mountains and forests.

Wei Jiang's face was uncertain, and he seemed to have made some kind of decision, and he handed over to Ghost Shura.

"Fellow Daoist, if I hand over the Foundation Establishment Pill, can you let me and fellow Daoist Fang live?'

"Oh? Are you willing to hand over the Foundation Establishment Pill?" Ghost Xiu Luoran had a playful smile on his face.

"I can let you go, but not Fang Xiu. I still have some things to ask him!"

"In that case, can you give me his body?" Wei Jiang said solemnly.

"What do you want his body for?" Ghost Shura narrowed his eyes.

Boom!

The earth dragon beast chased Fang Xiu away.

"I need his blood essence sword." Wei Jiang clenched the embryo of the Red Star Iron Sword in his hand.

"I see." Gui Shura nodded and stretched out his hand towards Gui Shura, "Give me the Foundation Establishment Pill first!

:.:.good! Hope you keep your word! "Wei Jiang took out a porcelain bottle from his storage bag, with a look of reluctance on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and threw the porcelain bottle towards the ghost Shura below.

Looking at the flying porcelain bottle, Ghost Shura curled up the corner of his mouth and sneered, and a fireball the size of a lantern flew out of the red fire flag in his hand.

Boom!

The fireball hit the porcelain bottle and was instantly swallowed up by the dazzling white light, forming a silver-white light group with a radius of one foot.

Wei Jiang jumped up, flew high into the sky, and swung the red star iron sword embryo downward in his hand, releasing several scarlet sword lights that were more than one foot long.

The Earth Dragon Beast did not know when it sneaked under the big tree where Wei Jiang was standing, and suddenly burst out of the earth, but Wei Jiang noticed it in advance.

Wei Jiang and Ghost Shura looked at each other, murderous intent intertwined in their eyes.

It turned out that the two had the same idea.
