Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 167: Taking the First Place in the Monthly Report Again: Theory of Luck
late at night.

Two hundred and sixty miles southeast of Qingyang County.

Xiao Chen's figure suddenly appeared on the originally deserted road.

Because he was using all his strength to activate the escape technique to travel faster, the magic power in his body was a little disordered, and his face also turned slightly pale.

He felt a little uncomfortable being suddenly pulled out of that mysterious state.

But after just a little adaptation, he continued to move in this direction without hesitation.

Theoretically, he is actually safe now.

If a demonic golden elixir had just sneaked in and launched a surprise attack, the other party would definitely not dare to stay for long.

He should be running away by now.

But theoretically speaking, Xiao Chen should not have been attacked tonight.

It was just killing a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, was it necessary to go this far?

Considering that the other party's brain might have suddenly been flooded with water, this distance is really not safe.

If he was really forced to exchange one for one by the crazy Demonic Golden Core, he would be at a huge loss.

"It's because I didn't choose [regardless of the cost], otherwise I would have gone and crushed the Divine Fire Cult tonight."

But now that the selection has been made, we can only take a long-term view.

Xiao Chen actually didn’t know who had made the move, but it didn’t matter. Sooner or later, he would be able to take revenge by taking over the entire Divine Fire Sect.

As long as all the enemies are eliminated, no one will escape.

He ran for more than a thousand miles in one breath until the sky turned pale.

Only then did Xiao Chen relax a little.

After such a long time, there are still no pursuers, so I should be safe.

He landed on the ground, calming his breath while rethinking what happened last night and his next actions.

After calming down and thinking for a while, Xiao Chen began to understand something.

It is very likely that no Demonic Golden Core Master sneaked in last night. The other party might have used some kind of long-range magic.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the other party to indiscriminately attack the entire Qingyang Mountain.

Not only does this waste mana, it also makes too much noise, which can easily attract the attention of one's own Jindan Zhenren and lead to their being surrounded.

Up to now, there has been no movement in the direction of Luoyan Mountain, which also confirms this point.

Moreover, it is possible to take someone's head from thousands of miles away.

At the level of Jindan Zhenren, it is not just empty talk.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, why are you here too?"

Chang Shunping pressed the flying sword and landed next to Xiao Chen.

After learning about his needs yesterday, Chang Shunping chose to travel overnight in order to leave a good impression of being efficient.

In one night, they rushed from Qingyang County to Chuiliu County, 1,330 miles away.

Unexpectedly, before entering the city, I saw Xiao Chen walking on the road only one mile away from the city gate.

At first, Chang Shunping even thought he was dazzled.

But he soon realized that it was not an illusion, because he was very familiar with that outfit.

Xiao Chen hadn't expected that he would actually meet him here: "Friend Chang! I thought about it and realized that I'm actually a little anxious. I want to come to the black market earlier."

This is of course a lie.

The main reason was that he had not yet figured out how to hide the fact that he had been attacked.

The Night's Edge is a life-saving trump card. Since it is called a trump card, it must be hidden.

Not a single word about its secrets can be leaked.

In this case, if I was at the scene when Qingyang Mountain was bombed to the ground, it seems a bit difficult to explain why I survived.

So the best solution now is not to tell anyone about the attack.

Originally, Xiao Chen was still thinking about how to resolve this matter.

When I saw Chang Shunping in front of me, my eyes immediately lit up. Isn't this a ready-made example?

Because he was coming to Chuiliu County, he was not in Qingyang Mountain last night.

Then Xiao Chen could also use the excuse that he was worried and followed him, and he was not in Qingyang Mountain last night.

In this way, you just happened to avoid the enemy's attack.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, the black market is usually held regularly, so you may not be able to catch it even if you come directly."

When Chang Shunping heard Xiao Chen say that he wanted to join the black market as soon as possible, he was afraid that he would have too high expectations and end up disappointed, so he quickly reminded him.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly: "I'll just give it a try. It's okay if I don't catch up."

Ok?
Chang Shunping was a little confused. Is this urgent or not?

Then he thought to himself, is this the flexible and changeable thinking of the masters?

Since Xiao Chen did this, there must be a reason behind it.

But he couldn't keep up with other people's thinking at all. Perhaps this was the gap.

The two came to Chui Liu County together.

Under the guidance of Chang Shunping, they entered the local Yixiangyuan with ease.

The person in charge, Yunniang, greeted them warmly: "Friend Chang, long time no see. The girls have missed you so much."

"Hey, this handsome..."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Xiao Chen.

Chang Shunping quickly spoke up to stop her: "Yunniang, this is Fellow Daoist Xiao."

"We are here on a serious matter. Where is Fellow Daoist Lan? Take us there quickly."

Hearing the respect in his tone, Yunniang immediately took a step back and said, "Look at my eyes. I didn't recognize you, my distinguished guest. How rude of me."

"You two, please come in."

"Fellow Daoist Chang, Aunt Lan is in Changchun Garden right now."

Walk through the corridor in the courtyard of Yixiangyuan and arrive at a small separated courtyard at the back.

Chang Shunping directly found the small door hidden on the side: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is it."

Then he knocked on the door and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Lan, please open the door quickly. There is a distinguished guest who wants to see you."

Soon, the small door opened with a creaky sound.

A beautiful woman wearing only a thin veil said angrily, "Oh~, what's that wind blowing today that makes you miss me?"

Chang Shunping quickly introduced himself again.

It turned out that the beautiful woman in front of him was named Lan Nianqin, and she was actually a cultivator at the fourth level of foundation building.

This situation surprised Xiao Chen a little.

How could a foundation-building cultivator fall to this point? Even if Hezhou were richer, it wouldn't be so outrageous, right?

Lan Nianqin has become accustomed to other people's surprised looks. After all, every time she meets a foundation-building cultivator, she almost has to explain the reason.

While inviting the two into the yard, he took the initiative to talk about the past.

It turns out that she was just a casual cultivator in her early years, and accidentally inherited a broken art of seduction.

It records the method of refining essence into qi, and the higher the cultivation level of the Taoist partner, the greater the improvement in her own cultivation level.

The only problem is that the second half of this inheritance is lost.

After reaching the fourth level of foundation building, there are no further mental methods. To advance further, one must forge a new path, a feat requiring exceptional talent.

But for a casual cultivator, it is good enough to have a technique to practice, so he has no right to be picky.

Then it became like this.

"There's really nothing much to say about my little story."

Lan Nianqin said with a self-deprecating smile: "I haven't asked Brother Xiao Daoist yet, what business do you have in visiting me this time?"
.
Chang Shunping quickly rushed to answer: "Fellow Daoist Lan, you are always the most well-informed. Do you know where the black market is held?"

As one of the only two Kun cultivators at the foundation-building stage in Yixiangyuan, Lan Nianqin did have access to a lot of information.

Some things won’t have much impact if said alone, and can even be used to show off one’s knowledge or gains.

However, the aggregation of different pieces of information forms an intelligence network that cannot be ignored.

She didn't hide it: "Speaking of this black market, I actually know of one."

"Five hundred miles southwest of Chui Liu County, there is a mountain called Yan'an."

"Between the front and back mountains, there is a Lion's Head Cave."

"Ever since the war began, there has been a gathering in Lion's Head Cave at the turn of the seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter."

"The participants are all foundation-building cultivators, trading special spiritual objects obtained from the battlefield."

Xiao Chen noted the time and place: "I see, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lan."

This time is a bit late.

Chang Shunping quietly observed Xiao Chen's expression, but did not see any disappointment, so he should really not be in a hurry.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, there's no need to thank me now."

Lan Nianqin smiled and helped pour the wine, filling a glass for both of them.

Then he said, "The Lion's Head Cave gathering is no secret, but it is attended by only acquaintances."

"If a stranger wants to go, he needs two or more acquaintances to guarantee him, otherwise the other Taoists will turn their backs on him."

"After all, there are always reasons why some things are not put up for auction."

Upon hearing this, Chang Shunping immediately frowned: "Since it's a black market, shouldn't participation be anonymous? Why do we need a guarantor?"

Xiao Chen was unfamiliar with Hezhou and had no acquaintances who could act as a guarantor.

Lan Nianqin glared at him unhappily: "Anonymous?"

"That's just a little game for the Qi Refining cultivators."

"If I were to wear a veil today, wouldn't Fellow Daoist Chang be able to recognize me?"

No matter how many foundation-building monks there are, there are only these few.

Unless there are only one or two events, you can probably guess who the guests are just by the process of elimination.

After saying that, Lan Nianqin put on a smiling face and looked at Xiao Chen: "But it just so happens that I have been there twice, so I can barely be considered familiar with it."

"If Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to participate, or wants to help with something."

"I am very willing to help."

She glared at him seductively and changed the subject: "However, there are some details that I would like to discuss with Fellow Daoist Xiao in the Red Luan Tent."

The pattern hanging on the bed in Lan Nianqin's room is Hongluan.

?

Xiao Chen glanced at Hongluan on the account and immediately understood what she meant.

She wasn't talking in detail at all; she was clearly just craving for her own body.

The world of cultivation is too dangerous. There are actually people coveting my beauty.

He waved his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Lan, but this is not necessary."

He is a picky eater after all.

Moreover, getting a guarantee from an acquaintance is both difficult and easy.

For Xiao Chen, it was actually not difficult to find two guarantors.

Of course, we have to wait until the monthly report comes out tomorrow.

Naturally, there would be plenty of people who wanted to become his acquaintance. Lan Nianqin was a little surprised. With her excellent looks and status as a foundation-building cultivator, few people would refuse her so decisively.

After all, she didn't make any excessive demands. For some people, spending a night together is something they would love to have.

She raised her glass and smiled: "If you change your mind, I will prepare the bed for you."

After getting the clue about the black market, Xiao Chen didn't stay long.

But Chang Shunping also left with them, which made Lan Nianqin even more surprised.

In the past, Fellow Daoist Chang would have to stay for at least two hours when he came to Yixiangyuan.

Unexpectedly, he was acting out of character today and running around Xiao Chen.

Half a month ago, Lan Nianqin had heard rumors about the Fenglei Sword Showdown and the collapse of the street vendor at Xianghe Market.

But I still can't understand why Chang Shunping is so eager to curry favor with me?
Her doubts did not last long, because she saw the monthly report for the first month at noon the next day.

The moment Lan Nianqin saw Xiao Chen's points, she was horrified: "Could this be a typo?"

She immediately understood Chang Shunping.

Then he felt regretful. If he had known the result a day earlier, he would have tried his best to make Xiao Chen stay overnight.

Not only her, but also the others who were still unaware of the situation, their first reaction was that there might be something wrong with the monthly report.

Twenty six hundred points!
This shocking number, like a huge rock hitting a pond, caused an uproar in Hezhou.

"This is definitely a statistical error, right?"

"3927, excluding the last day, an average of one Foundation Establishment Great Perfection per day?"

"What a balance! Could it be that the other side is just here to die?"

……

As Lingyuan Sect confirmed the authenticity of the news, the name Xiao Chen immediately resounded throughout Hezhou.

The first sentence many people ask when they meet has changed from "Have you eaten?" to "Have you heard?"

If the other party also knew, they would immediately sigh to each other.

If the other party doesn’t know, it would be a disaster.

How could you not know such important news? We must sit down and talk it over.

After you finish speaking, you still have to keep an eye on the other person's reaction.

When people hear this news for the first time, they usually look surprised and ask, "How is this possible?"

At this time, I followed up with the sentence I had prepared long ago: "Who said it wasn't? When I just found out, I also..."

Many people even told everyone they met about it, which invisibly helped Xiao Chen promote himself.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of rumors spread like wildfire.

In the market: "The latest news is that Xiao Chen has actually formed a fake pill a long time ago, but he has been keeping it secret."

"The purpose is to trick the four great walkers of the Divine Fire Sect into coming in and catch them all in one fell swoop."

In the restaurant: "Let me tell you, my brother saw it with his own eyes. Xiao Chen is nine feet tall and has a face like a thunder god. You can tell at a glance that he is a killer."

"You've all heard of the Wind and Thunder Sword duel, right? Do you know why there's a Thunder Sword?"

"That's a treasure they use to slay demons."

In the teahouse: "At that time, there were hundreds of demon cultivators who rushed to besiege Qingyang Mountain."

"Guess what?"

"I saw Xiao Chen, the Wind and Thunder Sword, with a normal expression, not a trace of panic on his face. He swung his sword with his left hand, and immediately a strong wind arose. In one blow, dozens of demon cultivators' heads fell to the ground."

"The one standing in the front was a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator. It was useless. He was blown into a skeleton on the spot."

Some people also questioned the storyteller: "Qingyang Mountain is not the front line, how could there be so many demon cultivators besieging it?"

As a result, he was immediately criticized by the rest of the audience: "You don't even know Xiao Chen?"

"That's right, this is all news from the Lingyuan Sect."

"Stop interrupting me, and let the gentleman speak. What's next?"

……

Time goes back to when Xiao Chen left Chuiliu County and returned to Qingyang County.

Chang Shunping almost thought he had come to the wrong place.

He had only been away for one day, so how come the once huge Qingyang Mountain was gone?

He subconsciously looked at Xiao Chen and saw that the other party was also full of confusion.

It's so strange that a mountain suddenly disappeared.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Chang?"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the distance, and then Du Mingjie ran over with a look of shock on his face: "I thought..., I'm so glad you're all okay."

The leader Gong Lingfeng was also nearby.

Hearing this, he also came over, looked him up and down, and then bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, although this is our first meeting, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

Xiao Chen also said politely: "No, no, Fellow Daoist Gong's name is well-known."

After a few small talk, Gong Lingfeng asked about what happened last night: "Qingyang Peak was suddenly attacked by the Divine Fire Cult at 3:30 in the middle of the night."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao and Fellow Daoist Chang know the reason."

Chang Shunping naturally knew nothing about the question and showed a look of grief: "Yesterday, Daoist Xiao asked me to inquire about the news, and I left Qingyang in the evening."

"I don't know what happened afterwards."

Xiao Chen also said it in a very convincing manner: "After Fellow Daoist Chang left, I felt something was wrong, so I followed him."

"I really didn't expect something like this to happen last night."

"I wonder which devil is so bold?"

Gong Lingfeng shook his head and explained a few words.

Just as Xiao Chen had guessed before, this was a spell activated by using a formation, and the magic golden elixir had not really crossed the border to invade.

Our own Jindan Zhenren had already investigated the scene before, and there were no hidden dangers left.

However, this spiritual mine has been buried, and it will take a lot of time to dig it up again.

"I guess the Divine Fire Sect must be holding a grudge against you for killing the four great walkers, and they wanted to take revenge, but ended up with nothing."

Gong Lingfeng said with emotion: "Fellow Daoist Chen told me that Fellow Daoist Xiao is blessed with great luck."

"Now it seems that this is true."

Xiao Chen forced a wry smile: "Alas, what kind of luck is that? I was just lucky last night."

"If something like this happens again, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape."

Gong Lingfeng immediately comforted him, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xiao. This won't happen again."

"Firstly, the cost of launching such an attack is enormous."

"Secondly, Yuanci Peak, Xunmei Mountain, and Luoyan Mountain are now protected by a large formation."

"Now it's time for rotation. Fellow Daoist, you can come and rest in the formation from now on."

The cost is not the point.

Xiao Chen felt that since the Divine Fire Cult could do it the first time, they would definitely be willing to do it a second time.

But the latter method is indeed good.

The above three places have set up third-level formations, which can resist even if attacked by multiple Jindan Zhenren.

He would be better off settling in one of them to avoid a second blow.

In this case, the original plan to hunt down the demon cultivators in the rear would have to be revised.

But now that I have formed a fake pill in advance, it seems not bad to stay on the front line.

I don’t know whether to go to Meishan or Luoyanshan.

"By the way, the latest monthly report has been delivered to various locations this morning."

Gong Lingfeng continued, "Fellow Daoist Xiao has made outstanding contributions this month, and several Jindan True Immortals want to meet you."

"If you are alright, how about we return to Yuanci Peak together later?"

Of course Xiao Chen had no problem with it, so he nodded in agreement.

Gong Lingfeng then turned around and gave a few instructions to his disciples, then took out a spirit boat and took the group back.

Return to Yuanci Peak.

As soon as he came down, he saw Manager Chen waiting anxiously: "Junior Brother Xiao, I'm so glad you're okay!"

"I told you that you are a blessed person. It's not easy for something to happen to you."

There are many like-minded people around him who also express their concern and blessings.

Xiao Chen naturally insisted that he was lucky yesterday and had escaped the disaster by chance.

It immediately caused people to sigh.

Someone sighed: "Nothing is wrong is the best thing, as the saying goes, peace is a blessing."

Some people envied: "Fellow Daoist Xiao is not only powerful, but also has the best luck."

However, some people secretly envied him: "I'm just unlucky. If I had the luck of Xiao Chen, I would surely become famous."

Then everyone came to the outside of the sect hall, and Gong Lingfeng went in first to report the situation.

The others took the opportunity to surround Xiao Chen, hoping to become familiar with him.

After all, this is not only a fake Dan cultivator, but also so young.

As everyone knows, Jindan Zhenren do not manage specific affairs on weekdays.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the next hundred years.

Xiao Chen will be one of the few top figures in the Southern Region.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, the Shangsi Festival is coming soon. If you're free then, how about we go out together to enjoy the spring scenery?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Zhang Daoyou. I will consider it if I have time."

Of course, this is just an excuse. I will definitely not be free by then.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Xiao is also an expert in the art of escape. This year, the "Lishan Chasing Clouds" competition will be held. I believe that as long as Fellow Daoist Xiao participates, he will definitely be successful and take first place."

"That's not the case. I only know a little bit."

Xiao Chen was indeed somewhat interested in Liu Yunlu, and was also very confident in his own Golden Light.

But it is unacceptable to declare victory in advance.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is young and promising, and also very handsome. I wonder what kind of Daoist partner he plans to find?"

"Now that the demons are causing chaos, I will take it as my responsibility to slay the demons and eliminate them."

He has no such plan for the time being - women will only affect the speed of my cultivation.

In short, all kinds of invitations emerged one after another.

Especially to the west of Yuanci Peak, there are many activities such as poetry and singing competitions, boat trips on clear waters, drinking wine and listening to music, and traveling with beautiful women.

Just listening to it was enough to open Xiao Chen's eyes.

Although these people's cultivation is not high, their attainments in eating, drinking and having fun are indeed not low.

If the conversation here were to spread to the outside world, no one would believe that we are in a time of turmoil.

Although there were heavy casualties in Xunmei Mountain and Luoyan Mountain, it did not affect the continued peace and prosperity in some areas.

Fortunately, not long after, a boy ran out of the hall.

"Who is Senior Xiao Chenxiao? I invite you."
