Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 87 Sheep
On the border of Dongmi, there were gusts of bloody wind and the scene was desolate.

A deep, dark and evil wind rushed at the edge of the formation, instantly grinding the surrounding evil creatures into powder. The evil creatures fell on the yellow mud and turned into a pool of blood, which was disgusting to smell.

The evil creatures that come here to invade are all extremely twisted and hideous, as if they are made up of human and animal corpses. Looking at them for too long will make your eyes feel disgusted.

[Small Evil Wind Formation] cannot cover the entire defense line, so with the low hills on both sides of the horse-tying path as the boundary, these outer disciples hold up the line, which is divided into nine checkpoints, with three people guarding each one.

Liu Xingfang stood at the edge of the checkpoint, looking out at the wilderness, with two fellow disciples beside him.

He wore a short sword with blue and purple colors interwoven on his waist. It was a mid-grade Qi-refining sword with flickering array patterns on it. It was the sword pill he asked Senior Brother Qiyun to refine, imitating the [Youquan] sword of the Sect Master.

He named this short sword [Gang Yin]. If he breaks through the Qi Refining stage and opens up his sea of consciousness, he can use his spiritual consciousness to control it and use the flying sword to take people's heads.

Now he can only hold it in his hand and use it as a magic sword.

Although the sword pill is rare, many people use it. Liu Xingfang has also heard from the elders of the clan that this thing is an unusual magic weapon. It is mainly controlled by spiritual consciousness. With a change of mind, it can break through the air and kill the enemy.

"Master is able to wield three swords simultaneously. He is truly amazing."

Senior Brother Xiao Wen told a lot about Xu Xuan's battle in Cixin Mansion when he came back, and Liu Xingfang was fascinated by it.

He had his own ambitions and wanted to emulate his master's path. His family also gave him a silver-white magic sword called "Panpo", which was a top-grade Qi-refining sword, but Liu Xingfang did not like to use it for fear of appearing ostentatious.

In terms of wealth, he was the richest in his generation. If he wanted any provisions, he could just write a letter to his family. However, he seldom did so. At most, he would accept the gifts from his clan without asking for more.

He and Xu Fayan separated temporarily and went to two adjacent checkpoints. Liu Xingfang wanted to hand over the foundation-building talisman to Xu Fayan, but the other party just coldly refused, which made Liu Xingfang quite embarrassed.

Xu Fayan didn't have any good magic weapons to protect himself now, so he picked up a medium-grade standard magic sword in the camp, the same as those used by the outer disciples.

The news of the sect recaptured the big plate has spread in recent days, and the fellow disciples stationed here are all happy. After all, the big plate is related to the spiritual field and is directly related to the resources.

Now that it has been recaptured, the sect’s revenue from spiritual medicines has increased, and the lives of these outer disciples will probably be much better.

A voice interrupted his thoughts and brought him back to his senses.

"Junior Brother Xingfang, our place is relatively quiet now, and there are few evil creatures coming here."

A woman in a dark purple robe came forward, her figure lithe and her tone charming.

"Exactly. I think it's because of Senior Brother Xingfang that we're lucky enough to have some free time."

Immediately, a woman in a silk dress beside them echoed softly. She was pretty and looked to be the same age as Liu Xingfang, but she was only at the initial stage of fetal breathing.

"You two are joking. The stability of this place still depends on your constant garrison and care."

Liu Xingfang looked at his two fellow disciples. The older one was named Qi Xiu Yu, and the other one was named Jiang Zhou Yi. Both of them were from Bai Shi's side.

These outer disciples have no master to teach them. The sect only organizes them to lecture on scriptures and provide them with some resources on a regular basis. The rest is entirely up to them.

There were few female cultivators stationed at Shuanma Road, only about five or six, and they all wanted to garrison there with Liu Xingfang.

The Liu family is famous for its many beauties, and Liu Xingfang has a high level of cultivation. Now he looks even more handsome and elegant, with a face like a jade. In terms of appearance alone, he is probably the best among men like Luo Qing.

He was born into a noble family like the Liu family. Many women in the family had heard of his name and were quite interested in him. If they could get close to one of them, they would be able to reach the top in one step.

Liu Xingfang is not stupid. He is a playboy and will never mess with the women in the sect. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to deal with, and he may even have to face the consequences at the hands of his master.

"Mei Zhai is more comfortable. No one cares who I am."

"Something evil is coming. I'll go and take a look."

Two evil creatures in the middle stage of fetal breathing fled from not far away. Liu Xingfang picked up his sword and finally found an excuse to leave the checkpoint.

This place is still under the cover of the [Small Evil Wind Formation] and is considered safe, but the formation needs to burn spirit stones to operate after all, so these insignificant monsters will be left to the disciples to deal with.

"Brother Xingfang, be careful. I'll help you clear the battlefield."

"Brother, don't worry. Wait for me to sacrifice the magic weapon."

Qi Xiu Yu and Jiang Zhou Yi called out at the same time, anxiously, showing their worry.

"No need, someone still needs to be in charge of this level."

Liu Xingfang refused, walked forward slowly, his green robe fluttering, and drew his sword.

Fleeing from a distance were two centipedes, whose limbs resembled human hands, densely packed and spliced together.

The two ferocious beasts waved their claws, their shells were dark blue, like iron and stone. Countless hands were rubbing on the ground, and in an instant they pounced on Liu Xingfang's face.

He raised the sword and concentrated his mind, the sound of thunder vibrated, and tiny bits of lightning flowed on the sword. This sword used [Thunder Sound Copper] and [Thunder Light Water], which had the function of vibrating thunder sound, exorcising evil and punishing evil.

When forging the sword, he had already taken into consideration the situation of Eastern Esoteric Buddhism. This sword was made to subdue evil spirits.

Countless hands were rushing towards him, and the two huge centipede bodies surrounded him tightly.

Liu Xingfang simply swung his sword casually, the sword body flipped, and with a loud thundering sound, he stepped on the monster's body and ran on the blue-black shell, cutting off all the spliced human hands.

The sword rang out clearly, and the two centipedes had their limbs cut off quickly. Finally, they fell to the ground, struggled, and opened and closed their fangs, trying to bite the person in front of them.

Liu Xingfang moved swiftly, nailing the monster to death with two swords. He then used his magic power to vibrate the sword and remove the stained blood from it.

"Senior Brother Xingfang is very proficient in swordsmanship. I'm afraid he will be able to shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the temple in the future."

Jiang Zhouyi exclaimed in admiration. Dachiguan was famous for its swords, but few of its outer sects had mastered them. Liu Xingfang had mastered the swordsmanship from the very beginning—truly amazing. Upon hearing this, Liu Xingfang simply smiled faintly, sheathed his sword, and returned.

He was naturally very proud of himself. He had only been practicing sword for a short time, and even his senior brother Xiao Wen was not as good as him in terms of his attainments in swordsmanship. The head of the sect even praised him a lot, saying that he had the potential to become a sword master.

'It is necessary to cultivate sword energy.'

This is exactly what he is aiming for. The art of making weapons is extremely difficult to master, but its power is also unmatched by ordinary secret techniques and magical instruments.

If one cultivates sword energy and achieves foundation building, even the direct descendants of ordinary foundation building families will be incomparable, and will be able to become the backbone of the sect or family.

Liu Xingfang returned, and Jiang Zhouyi leaned closer and said affectionately:

"Speaking of which, there's a sister from my family who also entered Luoqing. Has Senior Brother Xingfang ever met her?"

After hearing this, Liu Xingfang thought for a while before replying:
"Are you talking about Junior Sister Zhoudu?"

The figure of a shy girl appeared in his mind. He had met her once when he was a disciple in the ancestral hall.

He greeted her and wanted to ask a few questions, but the other person blushed and ran straight to Caiyun.

Jiang Zhouyi nodded slightly, said with a light tone and a smile:
"My sister is very thin-skinned. I'm afraid she has made a lot of jokes."

Liu Xingfang frowned slightly. After all, he was a true disciple and a disciple of Master Si'an. How could he tease her like that?

His initial favorable impression of Jiang Zhouyi faded away, and he simply said:

"Zhou Du is a serious practitioner. He has made rapid progress in recent years and is not far from reaching the middle stage of fetal breathing."

"As for Junior Sister, I'm afraid she's about to break through, right?"

There was a sharp edge to these words. Jiang Zhouyi and other outer disciples had poor aptitude. It was unknown how long it would take them to break through to the next level in the fetal breathing stage.

Jiang Zhouyi's expression changed slightly, but he just forced a smile and said:

"If I continue practicing for a few more years, I might be able to achieve a breakthrough."

She felt a little embarrassed. She had just been flirting with Liu Xingfang, and because she felt that her position was too high, she looked down on her shy and somewhat eccentric cousin, which displeased her.

"After all, it's different. Qualifications are the most important. Other things like temperament and appearance are secondary."

Jiang Zhouyi felt a little sad. She felt that she had done everything perfectly. In terms of temperament and appearance, she was not bad, but the three-inch spiritual root had determined her life and she would never be able to reach Luo Qing.

Qi Xiu Yu on the side just smiled, as if he had seen through Jiang Zhouyi's thoughts. His eyebrows lingered on Liu Xingfang's face for a while longer, quietly observing the expressions of the two.

"She's just a little girl, and she's not very smart."

Qi Xiu Yu slowly twisted his waist, secretly wondering in his heart whether this young man from the Liu family liked older men.
-
Next level.

Xu Fayan had a silent expression, just fiddling with the red brush and drawing talismans.

Liu Fanqing stood aside, accompanied by a member of the Xu family.

He had asked Bai Gang before, but no one had any impression of this Junior Brother Fayan, which was quite strange.

"With such excellent talent, it must not be of mortal blood."

Liu Fanqing is a smart person. He is already in the late stage of fetal breathing at this age, so building the foundation should be an easy task for him. In the future, this junior brother will definitely be the one to take power in the sect.

"Since his last name is Xu and his talent is so good, could he be the headmaster?"

He suddenly felt that he had glimpsed some secret, and the look he gave Xu Fayan became more and more intimate, as if he could see a road to heaven before his eyes.

This is Liu Fanqing's chance. With his experience, can't he defeat a young man?

All he needs to do is use some tricks to win the trust of Junior Brother Fayan, and it will be possible for him to enter Luoqing and even become an elder in the future.

"Senior Brother Fan Qing."

Xu Fayan suddenly spoke, stopped writing with the red brush in his hand, and spoke in a kind tone.

"If you have anything to say about the True Transmission of the Dharma, feel free to tell me. I'm familiar with this place."

Liu Fanqing was excited to see that the other party finally spoke to him. He lowered his posture and only called the other party "true disciple", not even daring to call him "junior brother".

Xu Fayan's yellow eyes looked over, and the turbid color seemed to spread in his eyes, making Liu Fanqing feel slightly dizzy.

"I have a newly made talisman here, and I want to test its power. I wonder if you could take me to a place with more monsters to try it out?"

Xu Fayan's voice was gentle, as if he was just asking casually.

"No problem. There are some monsters gathering at the edge of this formation. Don't worry, I'll lead the way."

Liu Fanqing smiled and asked the remaining disciple to guard the checkpoint, while he led his junior brother Fayan out and walked towards the edge of the formation.

"This is a godsend opportunity. Let's see what this Junior Brother Fayan thinks of Liu Xiaowen. If there's any gap, hey."

Liu Fanhe was thinking and didn't notice the talisman in Xu Fayan's hand at all.

It was a crude and simple talisman, on which was drawn with a red brush a pottery jar buried deep in the ground. Something that looked like a sheep or a fetus appeared, slowly opening its eyes, revealing a muddy yellow color.
