Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 131 When I saw him, I was like a frog in a well looking up at the moon! (6k)

"A peak-level second-order demon bird and a peak-level second-order sand scorpion..."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"These are all top-quality monster materials! We can't waste them..."

He was secretly delighted.

Li Zhenqian and Wanxun were both panicked.

"Fellow Daoist, I will do my best to stop them... You take Junior Brother Li and run first..."

Wanxun took a deep breath and took out the sword case.

Nine flying swords flew out in unison, he wanted to fight to the death...

After hearing this, Lin Chen said calmly:

"Run? What are you running for?"

"You guys stop this sand scorpion first, and leave the rest of the strange birds to me..."

After saying that, Lin Chen waved his hand and twelve flying swords came out one after another.

In fact, he is better at flying knives, but with two people around him at this time, Lin Chen does not want to reveal his identity.

Besides... a flying sword is enough to deal with these second-level monsters!

Lin Chen was seen standing on a flying sword, his whole body filled with powerful true energy.

The twelve flying swords beside him turned into afterimages, and each sword could seriously injure or even kill a second-level demon bird.

Lin Chen has only established the ninth level of foundation, but with the Soul-Swallowing Root and the perfect foundation, Lin Chen's true essence is not much worse than that of a fake pill.

How could a mere second-level demon bird block his sword!
shhhhh!

As the sword shadows danced wildly, black feathers rained from the sky.

More than a dozen evil birds had their wings cut off, fell into the desert, and soon lost their breath.

"What a great spirit control technique!"

Wanxun, who was fighting against the sand scorpion, was surprised.

He is an expert in the use of spirit control techniques and can control up to nine flying swords at the same time without losing his composure.

He knew clearly that with each additional flying sword, the difficulty of controlling it would increase by one level.

He believed that he couldn't control thirteen flying swords as easily as Lin Chen did.

"This fellow Taoist's spirit control technique has probably reached perfection... I wonder how much effort he has put in!"

Wanxun sighed in his heart and concentrated on dealing with the sand scorpion in front of him.

On the other side, after some of the dozens of demon birds that rushed over were killed by Lin Chen, they did not show any intention of retreating.

"Quack~"

The leading second-level peak demon bird howled.

The remaining fifty or so monster birds dispersed and besieged Lin Chen from all directions. Their sharp beaks flashed a frightening light in the sunlight.

"Wow, this demon bird is quite intelligent, it can even use tactics?"

Lin Chen was a little surprised.

But that's all...

Although he has not yet reached the Jindan stage, Lin Chen has little pressure in dealing with these mere second-level monsters.

Lin Chen was seen using his protective true energy to easily block the attack of the monster birds.

Then thirteen flying swords danced wildly in the air.

In a short while, another twenty or thirty demon birds were killed.

The demon bird at the peak of the foundation building stage let out a series of wailing cries upon seeing this, then spread its wings and flew high into the sky.

Seeing this, the other monster birds followed closely behind.

"Huh? Are you going to escape?"

Just as Lin Chen was preparing to pursue the victory, the evil birds suddenly stopped.

They were seen hovering dozens of feet above Lin Chen's head.

Then they kept vibrating and flapping their wings...

Just as Lin Chen was wondering, he suddenly discovered that a strong wind was blowing in the desert.

The fierce gale swept up countless flying sands, which gathered into a vortex.

Eventually, it turned into a desert tornado and rushed towards Lin Chen...

"This demon bird actually has bloodline magical powers?"

"Summoning a tornado in this desert is quite interesting..."

Lin Chen looked at the tornado in front of him. It was getting closer and closer to him, and the vortex was getting bigger and bigger.

Behind him, Wan Xun cried out in a cold sweat, "Daoyou, run!"

How can human power fight against nature?

Even for a cultivator who has reached perfect foundation building, facing such a strong wind, it is impossible to fight head-on and he can only retreat.

But Lin Chen had no intention of escaping at all.

He stepped on the flying sword, stood still, and murmured:
"Just in time to try out my new abilities..."

After saying that, Lin Chen used the power of Zhulong and took a deep breath.

Afterwards, the air in the chest and abdomen poured out.

Huhuhu~
As Lin Chen exhaled, an even more violent gust of wind appeared...

Like destroying withered trees and rotten wood, it easily blew away the huge tornado that was dozens of feet high, and then flew straight towards the flock of demonic birds in the sky...

The sky is full of yellow sand, and it is hard to see clearly...

When the strong wind gradually died down, only a cloud of chicken feathers fell from the sky.

Those second-level demon birds were blown dizzy and fell to the ground.

Even the leader of the demon bird, who was at the peak of the second stage, was not spared and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Chen quickly stepped forward, exerting force with his arms, his muscles trembling...

Shake the knife!

With the power of one sword, the corpse of the second-level peak demon bird was separated into pieces.

"The Candle Dragon's breath is wind..." Lin Chen murmured.

In addition to controlling the power of time and space, Zhu Jiuyin can be said to be the ancestor who can call the wind and rain.

Why are these evil birds showing off in front of him?

After easily defeating the entire flock of demon birds, Lin Chen turned around and looked at another battlefield.

Li Zhenqian stared blankly at Lin Chen in the distance.

With his mouth wide open, he even forgot to set up the formation.

The battle between Sand Scorpion and Wanxun continues.

Although Wanxun has also reached the perfect foundation, this sand scorpion is obviously more powerful.

Especially the brown scorpion armor and the scorpion tail needle that emits a poisonous green light, which makes people shudder.

After holding on for a long time, Wanxun finally fell into a disadvantage.

"Don't panic, I'm here to help you!"

Lin Chen shouted, then rushed towards the sand scorpion.

When the sand scorpion saw this, a look of human-like fear appeared in its eyes.

He saw how those strange birds died just now.

So the scorpion swept its tail across, forcing Wan Xun back, and the sand scorpion fled madly into the quicksand, trying to get back under the desert.

But would Lin Chen do as he wished?
Just as the sand scorpion was about to drill most of its body back into the water, Lin Chen had already arrived.

He stretched out his right hand and grabbed the sand scorpion's tail.

"Wake it up for me!"

With a light shout, the huge sand scorpion was blown several feet away.

After rolling in the desert, the sand scorpion's soybean-sized eyes flashed a few times.

He is ready to fight!

"Ow~"

Following a strange cry, the aura of the sand scorpion suddenly increased by several times.

All the way from the peak of the second-level monster to the early third-level.

Seeing this, Lin Chen showed an interested look.

"It seems that the bloodlines of the monsters in this ruins are quite good! This desert scorpion actually has bloodline magical powers..."

In the distance, Wanxun was shocked when he saw this.

He also felt that the aura of the sand scorpion was probably not weaker than that of a cultivator in the False Dan realm.

So he quickly came to Lin Chen and said:

"My friend, I will fight this monster together with you!"

In his opinion, the two of them might be able to fight against the third-level monster together.

however……

Lin Chen just glanced at him and said:

"No, I am enough!"

After saying that, Lin Chen took two steps forward and quickly approached the desert scorpion.

An invisible wave flashed across his body, and the power of Zhulong possessed him again.

He held a long sword in his hand, which trembled slightly.

Then, he slashed with a knife!

rub!
There was only a crisp sound, and the desert scorpion in front of him was still in the sweeping posture.

But the light in his eyes has gradually disappeared...

Then, the huge body split into two, along with the sturdy scorpion armor, and the yellow-green internal organs and blood wet the sand.

Lin Chen scratched his head as he looked at the Desert Scorpion that was cut in half.

"What a mistake! The scorpion armor has been cut in half, and its value has been greatly reduced!"

"Ugh……"

After sighing, Lin Chen put the body of the Desert Scorpion into the nanobag.

Then he ran to take out the claws, fangs and feathers of those evil birds one by one.

"My luck is pretty good. Both of the two leader monsters have produced monster pills..." Lin Chen was busy and happy.

This time, he made a fortune again.

Not far away, Wanxun and Li Zhenqian stood side by side.

Looking at the busy Lin Chen, I don’t know what to say.

"Wan... Senior Brother Wan? Was that really a third-level monster just now?"

"Well, that aura, there's no doubt about it!"

"So this fellow Taoist is really just a foundation-building cultivator?"

"Should... should be right? Jindan cultivators cannot enter this ruins..."

Li Zhenqian was silent for a long time after hearing this. He didn't know what to say.

In Yanlai territory, he is an inner disciple of the Changchun Sect, the largest sect, and also a disciple of the four major families.

It is a height that ordinary people cannot reach.

But he also has a target, and that is Lin Chen, whom he regards as his opponent.

He is superior in every aspect...but at least he still has the motivation to catch up!
But looking at the mysterious fellow Taoist in front of him, Li Zhenqian no longer had the slightest desire to fight.

Compared with Li Zhenqian, Wanxun could more deeply appreciate the power of this mysterious Taoist friend in front of him!
He is the flag-bearing disciple of the younger generation of Changchun Sect.

After decades of hard practice, the foundation is finally built!

In order to fight for the golden elixir, he resolutely entered this relic.

He had also heard the master of the sect say that Qingzhou was so big and had countless geniuses... Changchun Sect was just a drop in the ocean.

And now, he truly understood what this sentence meant.

"I see him as a frog in a well looking up at the sky. How is he any different?"

……

While the two brothers were doubting their lives, Lin Chen had already happily sorted out all kinds of animal materials and put them into the storage bag.

Then Lin Chen walked up to the two of them and said unceremoniously:

"My two fellow Taoists, I will gladly accept those animal materials?"

Li Zhenqian was still immersed in Lin Chen's powerful strength and couldn't extricate himself.

Wanxun had already reacted and said quickly:

"It's my duty. Thank you for saving my life again!"

"May I know your name? I am Wanxun from Changchun Sect, and this is my junior fellow apprentice Li Zhenqian..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded and bowed:

"So you are the Taoist friend from Changchun Sect... I am Xu Shi from Fengling Yueying Sect!"

Fengling Yueying Sect?
Wan Xun frowned. He had never heard of this force. But he still nodded and said:

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for saving my life!"

Wanxun hesitated for a moment and said:
"I have an unwelcome request... Fellow Daoist is so powerful, I wonder if the two of us brothers can go with you and pass the second level of the assessment together?"

"Don't worry, if you encounter any danger, you can leave us at any time..."

After saying that, Wanxun and Li Zhenqian looked at Lin Chen nervously.

Lin Chen pretended to think about it.

In fact, Lin Chen wanted to help these two people. After all, it was just a convenient thing for Lin Chen.

Wan Xun was his comrade-in-arms with whom he had fought side by side, and Li Zhenqian could be considered half a friend of his.

There is no reason to say no.

But considering his current identity, Lin Chen still pretended to be embarrassed:
"Fellow Daoist Wan, Fellow Daoist Li... since we have entered the ruins of the Jinyuan Sect, we should be competitors..."

"Before, I couldn't bear to see you two die in the mouth of the monster, so I took action."

"But if I go with you two, I will be creating competitors for myself..."

Wanxun looked disappointed after hearing this, but he was unable to refute.

He could only sigh: "In that case, thank you for saving my life... The mountain is high and the road is long, we will do it another day..."

Before Wan Xun finished speaking, Lin Chen changed his tone and said:
"Ahem, but meeting is fate!"

"A fellow Taoist once told me that when you go out, you rely on fate..."

Lin Chen stretched out his fingers and rubbed them together, making a spirit stone gesture.

Wanxun was stunned for a moment, but Li Zhenqian understood and said quickly:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how much fate is appropriate?"

Lin Chen gestured and said:

"Ten thousand karmas for each person, I think that's just right... Later in this second stage of the ruins assessment, I will do my best to protect the lives of the two Taoist friends..."

After hearing this, Li Zhenqian took out 20,000 spirit stones and handed them over without saying a word.

"Friend Xu, I will also pay for my senior brother's 10,000 Yuan!"

Lin Chen took the spirit stone and put it in a storage bag, revealing an expression of a very knowledgeable boy.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that after not seeing you for a while, Little Leo's wealth has increased a lot!"

Lin Chen thought to himself.

However, the Li family had been cooperating with Lin Chen for a long time, and they must have made a lot of money.

Now Li Zhenqian has reached the middle stage of foundation building and can be regarded as the future head of the Li family. It is reasonable for him to have more spirit stones on him.

Li Zhenqian looked at the smile of "Xu Shi" and suddenly thought in his heart: Why does this Fellow Daoist Xu feel a bit like Lin Chen?

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Zhenqian quickly shook his head.

He admitted that Lin Chen was a genius, but he was still far behind the "Xu Shi" in front of him.

Wan Xun, who was standing by, was even more confused when he saw the expressions of the two men.

"This Daoist Fellow Xu is so powerful, but he is also a greedy person? However... who among those who practice Taoism doesn't like spiritual stones?"

Wanxun thought to himself:

"Besides, 20,000 spirit stones is really a very cheap price..."

Twenty thousand spirit stones were equivalent to Lin Chen taking them through the second level.

The reward for the first level of the assessment is a few foundation-building pills...

How generous is the reward for the second level?
While Wan Xun was thinking, Lin Chen had already chosen the direction. He pointed to the north and said:

"My two Taoist friends, I want to go in this direction..."

Wanxun and Li Zhenqian had no reason to object.

They had lost their way in the desert several times, so it would be best if they could follow Lin Chen.

So the three of them continued to head in the same direction.

On the way, Li Zhenqian suddenly came up and asked:
"Brother Xu, you said before that you were from the Fengling Yueying Sect... I wonder if you know Senior Han Laoliu?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen blinked and said with a look of surprise:
"Hey, do you know Sixth Brother?"

Li Zhenqian nodded and said, "Yes, our Li family has had several transactions with Senior Han..."

Li Zhenqian briefly described the previous transaction between the four major families and Han Laoliu.

Lin Chen pretended to have just understood and nodded:
"It's fate, it's all fate!"

"Hey, my sixth brother is very powerful, far beyond my reach... If I had his strength, I wouldn't have to try my luck in this ruins..."

Li Zhenqian was already in uproar after hearing this.

He had never seen Han Laoliu's strength.

But the Xu Shi in front of him was a master who could kill a third-level monster with one sword!
His strength is at least equivalent to that of a Jindan cultivator!
But from what he said, he is still so much worse than Han Laoliu...

Thinking of this, Li Zhenqian took a deep breath.

"Hiss, doesn't that mean that Senior Han is at least a powerful person in the late Jindan stage? He might even be... a Yuanying Zhenren!"

At this moment, Li Zhenqian was thinking a lot in his mind.

"No, I must tell my father the news when I get home..."

……

A group of three people headed north.

Walking in this vast desert.

The goal of the second level assessment is to get out of this black sand country.

But it was difficult to tell directions in the desert, so all Lin Chen could do was walk in one direction.

As long as the desert is limited, you can always get out of it by heading in one direction.

So, the journey lasted for three days and three nights.

Along the way, Lin Chen encountered many monsters.

But almost all of them were second-level monsters, and were easily killed by Lin Chen and turned into animal materials.

Lin Chen even took the initiative to hunt monsters more than once, which made Li Zhenqian and Wan Xun even more stunned.

I encountered quite a few monsters, but the probability of encountering other cultivators in this desert is still relatively low.

until the fourth day.

After climbing over another sand dune, Li Zhenqian looked up at the green in the distance.

With a look of surprise on his face, he said excitedly:

"Brother Wan, Brother Xu, look...is that an oasis ahead? Have we walked out of this desert?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen also looked up.

The power of Zhulong gave him vision far beyond that of ordinary people.

Although it was dozens of miles away, Lin Chen could still clearly see that it was an oasis.

There is a lake with a lot of green plants beside it and some dilapidated ruins.

"We probably haven't left the desert yet... That should be the remains of an ancient town in the Black Sand Kingdom..."

Lin Chen reminded.

According to what Li Tianhan said before, perhaps relics left by ancient monks can be found in the ancient country of Heisha.

"Let's go check out that oasis!"

"But be careful... there may be threats in this oasis."

Lin Chen said so.

He is still very confident in his own strength.

Those below the middle stage of Jindan could hardly withstand a blow from his sword.

This site of the Jin Yuan Sect ruins was obviously used to select suitable people to practice the third level of Jin Yuan Gong, so there shouldn't be any strong enemies there.

So the three of them walked towards the oasis.

……

A moment later, at the Oasis Lake.

Li Zhenqian was stunned when he saw the large area of ​​medicinal herbs planted beside the lake.

"Oh my god! So many medicinal herbs... How many are there? Thirty thousand or fifty thousand?"

Lin Chen also came to the shore of the lake and saw a large area of ​​spiritual herbs by the lake.

It almost surrounds the entire lake.

With such a large number, even Lin Chen would be jealous!
He squatted down and verified the age of these medicinal herbs...

"Each of these herbs is at least five thousand years old! Each one is worth a fortune!"

Lin Chen felt a little excited.

So the three of them looked at each other and decided not to leave. They stayed on the lakeshore and started picking herbs.

"How do we divide so many medicinal herbs?" Li Zhenqian was still very excited.

Wan Xun glanced at Lin Chen and asked, "How do you think we should distribute it?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Whoever picks it first gets it."

Wanxun and Li Zhenqian had no objection after hearing this.

In their opinion, Lin Chen is so powerful, and it is absolutely right for him to be willing to distribute in such a fair way.

but……

They soon regretted it.

Collecting herbs is a technical job!

Especially those spiritual medicines of high age, you can’t buy one with a hundred spirit stones!

If they are picked roughly, most of their medicinal properties will be lost, which will not be worth it.

Therefore, you must use your true energy carefully to avoid damaging the medicinal materials.

In terms of herb-picking experience and speed, ten Li Zhenqian and Wanxun combined are no match for Lin Chen alone...

So, while the two of them were still carefully picking the elixirs.

Lin Chen easily released his wood essence to wrap the medicinal herbs.

Within a few breaths, dozens of herbs entered the storage bag without any loss of medicinal properties.

In this way, several hours passed.

Lin Chen's storage bag was already filled with mountains of high-grade spiritual medicines.

Looking at Li Zhenqian and Wanxun, the two of them together have not picked even a thousand plants.

"Hey, don't blame me for being unkind, but I left some soup for you..."

Lin Chen said secretly in his heart.

Then he continued to use his true energy to pick herbs as quickly as a lawn mower.

After more than an hour, most of the medicinal herbs were in Lin Chen's hands.

At this moment, Li Zhenqian in the distance suddenly cried for help.

"Senior Brother Wan..."

After hearing the voice, Wanxun looked up and hurried towards Li Zhenqian.

Lin Chen was far away. When he raised his head, he saw a vine growing continuously and dancing wildly in the air, tightly wrapping Li Zhenqian's whole body.

After getting closer, Lin Chen looked at the thumb-thick vines in front of him, which were covered with many hairy thorns, and felt that they looked somewhat familiar.

Then he looked at Li Zhenqian, who was entangled in vines, his body was green, his lips were purple, and he had fainted...

"Be careful, this is a sea buckthorn monster... Its thorns are extremely poisonous, even a Jindan cultivator can't resist it for long!"

Lin Chen said with a serious expression.

He had seen the introduction of this kind of demonic plant on the fourth floor of the Changchun Gate Sutra Library...

The sea buckthorn monster is a monster plant that poses very low threat.

It contains trace amounts of toxins and poses almost no threat to monks...

But the prerequisite is that the growth year of this sea buckthorn monster is not high.

And now, looking around within ten feet, a huge sea buckthorn monster emerged from the soil.

"This sea buckthorn monster was probably planted together with this batch of spiritual herbs. It must be at least five thousand years old..."

"A seabuckthorn monster of this age is already invulnerable to water and fire, and indestructible to metal and stone... not to mention the toxins it contains, which are probably very terrifying..."

Lin Chen frowned. Facing this sea buckthorn monster, he felt a little tricky for the first time.

On the side, Wan Xun saw Li Zhenqian who had fainted and was entangled by thorny vines, and shouted anxiously:
"Junior Brother Li, hold on!"

But Li Zhenqian had already fainted, so how could he reply?
Wan Xun summoned nine flying swords, and for a moment the sword energy was rampant, slashing madly at the thorny vines in front of him.

However, each sword energy consumed a lot of Wan Xun's energy.

It was very difficult to cut through a few vines.

On the other hand, the sea buckthorn monster was spread over an area of ​​dozens of meters in radius, and there were so many vines and thorns that it was impossible to cut them all.

"It's really a bit tricky. It seems that I have to show my real ability..."

"I hope Li Zhenqian can hold on..." Lin Chen thought silently.
