Chapter 230 Encounter

In the jungle, two figures, one black and one green, chased each other, and the fluctuations of various methods of cultivating immortals spread among the trees.

"Jie Jie Jie, why do you need to fight like a trapped beast? This is our territory for thousands of miles. Where else can you run? It's better to surrender directly. If you are in a good mood, I can still keep you alive. corpse!"

The demon cultivator disciple from the outer sect of Xuanyin Sect who was chasing behind him gave out a weird laugh and at the same time used various words to disrupt the opponent's mind and fighting spirit.

The person he was chasing was a young monk in his twenties.

"Damn it..." Sensing the murderous intent getting closer and closer from behind, the young monk, Li Dazhu, was gritting his back teeth, his face full of unwillingness and anger.

If it weren't for Qingyun Sect's damn Lending and Loaning Law in the Lingmai Cave, how could he have gone deep behind enemy lines for the Lingshi and ended up in such a life-and-death situation today? !

He was originally close to the Qingyun Sect and a member of Yunlaifang City.

His parents turned out to be deacons in an alchemy hall under Yunlaifang City.

In the past, although their family had no hope of cultivating immortals, they lived a pretty good life. They could still count on a genius with three or two spiritual roots among their descendants to create a generation of immortal cultivating families.

But such a beautiful and promising day ended inexplicably more than 20 years ago.

More than 20 years ago, the Qingyun Sect inexplicably came up with a leasing method for the Lingmai Cave Mansion, building a cave atop the Lingmai of Fangshi, and then selling the residence rights for a period of thirty years.

At first, his parents didn't take it seriously. After all, even the price at which the Spirit Vein Cave was just sold would consume more than half of their family's spiritual stones. But no one who is a little smart would not spend more than half of his family's spiritual stones. The family property is invested in unknown places.

Later, they also watched the price of the Spirit Vein Cave in Fangshi rising steadily with the attitude of watching a good show.

Originally they thought they were just watching the fun, but what they didn't expect was that as time went by, while the price of the Lingmai Cave continued to rise, it gradually began to be tied to other things.

For example, the elixirs used to break through bottlenecks, the defensive spiritual weapons or escape talismans that can save lives, the precious secrets and techniques, even the Qingyun Flying Boat tickets to leave Fangshi, and the acquisition of the next generation of immortal cultivation resources all begin to be related to this. The Spirit Vein Cave is bound.

Without it, there would be no hope of further advancement in the entire city.

In desperation, Li Dazhu's parents had no choice but to buy the Lingmai Cave.

But the price of the Lingmai Cave at that time was too high. Even if my father was a deacon of the Alchemy Hall and emptied several people's storage bags, he couldn't afford it.

After thinking about it again and again, I also saw that in the market, the market was booming due to the decentralization of many resources by Qingyun Sect and the investment of resources by all parties, large and small.

Li Dazhu's parents finally signed a spiritual stone loan called "Loan Dai Chuan".

With the help of parents, children and grandchildren, they jointly bought a spiritual vein cave.

According to their plan, judging from the current prosperity of the market and the speed of earning spiritual stones, it will not take two generations, at most more than twenty years, to repay the spiritual stone loan.

But what they can't understand is that although the market is so prosperous and the sales of high-end elixirs, spiritual weapons and the like continue to rise, the spiritual stones they obtain from their work are constantly decreasing.

Gradually, later on, in the land of Lingnan Cultivation, shops closed down one after another except for the various forces of the Qingyun Sect, a large number of monks were deported, and the spiritual stones harvested by his parents were also decreasing.

In the end, his parents lost their jobs, but the Dongfu loan still had to be repaid.

If they don't pay it back, the monk's entire family, including his wife, children, and children, will be put into the mines as coolies and die in pain.

Just when they were almost driven to a dead end by this, a turning point appeared, that is, the Qingyun Sect and the Xuanyin Sect started a war.

In response to this war, Qingyun Sect released a large amount of resources and spiritual stones, and the rewards given were very generous.

Therefore, in order to receive generous spiritual stone rewards and repay loans, countless low-level monks like Li Dazhu were forced to have no choice but to risk their lives, fight head-on or sneak behind enemy lines to collect intelligence.

This is also the reason why so many casual cultivators like Li Dazhu work hard for the Qingyun Sect.

As for why he didn't take refuge with the demon cultivators, the reason was simple, because they were more cruel.

After all, your corpse can exert the same combat power as you, and you don't have to worry about loyalty.

"Damn it, who is it, who developed this damn spiritual vein cave rental method? Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

Feeling the murderous intent getting closer and closer behind him, Li Dazhu looked tragic.

‘No, I can’t die here! If I die, my descendants will have to repay the loan. This is absolutely not okay! ’

Li Dazhu's eyes were bloodshot. He was always honest, but a flash of madness flashed in his pupils.

"I'll fight you!"

Then, he yelled, turned around, and rushed towards the black-clothed demon cultivator crazily!

Veins popped out on his face, and he held a talisman in his hand that emitted a bright spiritual light, and rushed towards the black-clothed demon cultivator regardless of the cost!

"The fight between trapped beasts?!"

The black-clothed demon cultivator's expression changed, and he did not hesitate to take out a white bone magic weapon in front of him for defense.

What he didn't expect was that Li Dazhu rushed over, but didn't fight desperately. Instead, he jumped up and ran away from behind him!

"You, are you looking for death!"

The black-clothed demon cultivator was stunned at first, and then quickly reacted and became furious.

He didn't expect that he, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was fooled by this kid who didn't have much blood on his body!

"Go to hell!"

He put down the white bone shield in his hand and rushed towards Li Dazhu fiercely!

"Damn kid, I'm going to skin you and pull out your tendons..." The black-clothed demon cultivator didn't have time to say Xiu, but his face suddenly changed wildly.

Because the kid in front of him turned his body again and threw a glittering talisman at him!

The first desperate effort was just to make him relax his vigilance. The real killer move was to counterattack after he was angry and neglected defense!

Swish!

One after another, azure thunder appeared in the air, intertwined and condensed, forming a small thunder ball, and then it exploded directly!

Bang!

The huge explosion sounded throughout the jungle, instantly startling countless birds!

"Ahem! Puff!"

Amid the flying dust, Li Dazhu fell to the ground, feeling a tumbling in his body, and couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Triggering the thunder talisman at such a close distance, he was also seriously injured.

"I don't know what that demon cultivator is..." Li Dazhu wanted to say something else, but when he saw the side, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because in the undispersed smoke, a figure stood there. It was the demon cultivator who had just fought with him. Not only did the other party not die, but a bloody human skin coat appeared on his body at some point to resist the damage of the thunder talisman!

"Damn it, can I only die here today? But there is still a loan..."

Seeing this scene, Li Dazhu's face was full of reluctance, and he closed his eyes in despair.

Now that he was seriously injured, he had no ability to resist at all, and could only be slaughtered.

"Huh?"

But after a long time, the expected pain did not come, and Li Dazhu couldn't help but open his eyes.

To his surprise, the demon cultivator in front of him did not take action, but stood there straight, with a changing expression on his face, and was still talking nonsense.

What's going on?

Li Dazhu was stunned, and he also heard the black-clothed demon cultivator's words, which were somewhat intermittent and inconsistent.

"Hehehe, I finally promoted to the foundation building stage, and I don't have to bear the anger of you, a waste, anymore!"

"Jindan, I am the ancestor of Jindan!"

"I am the first person in Lingnan, and I will ascend again today!"

At this point, the black-clothed demon cultivator's tone suddenly paused, the expression on his face became distorted and crazy, and he shouted madly: "Ascend! Ascend! Ascend!"

What, what's going on? !

Before Li Dazhu had time to figure out why, the black-clothed demon cultivator in front of him suddenly had a higher aura.

But in the end, clusters of dark red flames emerged from the inside to the outside, and the whole person spontaneously combusted!

After the flames burned, a bright red heart and a skull emitting a faint soul fire were left in the original place!

The heart contained the essence and blood of the demon cultivator after being refined by the flames, and the skull imprisoned the soul of the demon cultivator!

This scene directly stunned Li Dazhu.

Not only did he make people commit suicide, but he also extracted the essence and blood of the other party and imprisoned the soul. What kind of demon cultivator's method is this? Which old demon came? !

"It turns out that this is a small character. I took so much effort to read his memory."

At this time, Lin Chen, who had just arrived in the jungle on the side, walked out slowly.

He just used illusion to read the memory of the demon cultivator through means, and roughly understood the situation in this area.

But he didn't know much, after all, the other party had just become a cultivator not long ago.

"But it doesn't matter, isn't there another person here?"

Lin Chen turned around leisurely, but saw the fear in Li Dazhu's eyes and his body desperately retreating, and couldn't help but be stunned.

‘Strange, do I look so scary? ’

Lin Chen was a little confused, but when he saw the skull and heart in his hand, his heart skipped a beat.

‘Oh no, I’ve been so frugal these days that I’ve almost forgotten that I’m a righteous person! ’

With the mentality of not wasting, Lin Chen has been used to extracting blood and refining souls for the past twenty years.

But he almost forgot that his original identity was not an old demon, but a true disciple of a righteous sect!

“Ahem!”

Lin Chen flipped his hand and directly put away the heart essence blood and soul skull, with a kind smile on his face.

“Boy, don’t be afraid, I’m actually a good person.”
