A small casual cultivator!

"Brother Zhou Yu's swordsmanship has become even better."

"Senior Brother Zhou is a genius. He has already reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining before he is even twenty-one years old."

There were voices of praise coming from all around from time to time.

……

Next, the stage was filled with sword energy and many human figures.

After about ten breaths.

"cut!"

With a light shout, the runes on the sword in Zhou Yu's hand immediately lit up.

A huge and heavy sword energy emanates!

Then a sword shadow slashed down.

"Ice Shield!"

The old man suddenly felt a huge threat, his brows furrowed, and he pushed his hands forward, creating a solid ice shield in front of him.

Of course...

Snapped!

The sword shadow collided with the ice shield, and then there was a loud bang and the ice shield broke.

The sword went straight in with murderous intent, but when it was about to hit the old man, it suddenly turned into a light breeze, blowing up his white hair.

At the last moment, Zhou Yu stopped. If it was a life-and-death fight, the old man would have definitely died by now.

"Mr. Guo, are you okay?"

Zhou Yu put away his sword and spoke gently.

The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, stroking his long beard, and sighed: "Your strength has improved again. It seems that it won't be long before you can break through and become a true disciple of the sect."

"This Senior Brother Zhou is really strong. Although he is at the peak of the eighth level, when he unleashes his sword skills, his power is almost at the ninth level! He is worthy of being a gold spiritual root."

Lu Luan muttered in shock.

Someone nearby heard his voice and nodded in agreement, saying, "Senior Brother Zhou's strength is already comparable to that of a core disciple of the same age."

Lu Luan nodded. Zhou Yu was only in his early twenties and it seemed that he was about to make a breakthrough. He had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining at the age of twenty-one. He was indeed a core disciple with yellow spiritual roots.

However, Lu Luan was somewhat puzzled. After all, he was just an ordinary spiritual root. How could he cultivate so fast when his resources were not as good as those of the core disciples?

Someone else said, "What's even more rare is that Senior Brother Zhou is very approachable and humble, unlike those core disciples who look at people with their noses."

"Really."

Lu Luan couldn't help but look up to Zhou Yu. After all, it was very rare to have such a good character.

In fact, from the way he stopped just now, we can tell that Brother Zhou has a gentle and polite character. Otherwise, if it were someone else, even if he didn't use any brutal force, he would at least make the old man end up in an embarrassing situation.

"Could he be from Qingyun Peak?"

Lu Luan guessed in his heart that after all, only the disciples from Qingyun Peak were so warm and friendly.

"Ok?"

Zhou Yu walked down the stage chatting and laughing with the old man, but when he saw Lu Luan, his eyes were a little surprised.

He saw that Lu Luan's vitality was much stronger than that of the people around him!

After all, he had just finished practicing the Innate Five Qi Technique, and some of his energy had leaked out.

Then she smiled and walked towards him.

"I wonder if Xiao He has become a disciple?"

Seeing that the fight between the two was over, Lu Luan had no intention of staying. Thinking that Xiao He's process of enlightening the demonic energy was over, he prepared to go back.

"Junior brother, please stay."

However, before he had taken a few steps, he heard someone calling him from behind, so he stopped and looked back.

After finding out it was Zhou Yu, he was surprised, but he immediately bowed and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Junior brother, there is no need to be polite."

Lu Luan looked at him and asked in confusion, "What is it that Senior Brother Zhou wants me to do?"

Zhou Yu asked: "Junior brother, you should be the best upper-grade mortal spiritual root."

When asked about his spiritual roots, Lu Luan looked a little strange, feeling puzzled, and replied politely: "Just ordinary spiritual roots, far inferior to Senior Brother Zhou's golden spiritual roots."

"Oh, don't say that. I think my junior brother is also a good material, not worse than me."

Zhou Yu is indeed very humble.

Then he said, "Brother, are you going back to the sect?"

"Ah."

Lu Luan nodded.

Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "Junior brother, I have something to do and it is not convenient for me to return to the sect. Can you pass a message back to Qixi Peak for me?"

It turned out that he was from Qixi Peak.

Lu Luan frowned. Mucheng was not far from Zhengyang Gate. With his cultivation level, it would not take long to go there and back. However, he was an inner sect disciple after all, so he could not refuse. He said, "I wonder what news Senior Brother Zhou wants me to pass on?"

"follow me."

Zhou Yu smiled.

"It seems that it should be quite troublesome."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Luan followed.

"Senior Brother Zhou."

"Senior Brother Zhou..."

The disciples who were recording the events nearby bowed respectfully when they saw him passing by.

Zhou Yu also responded with a smile.

Soon, the two came to a courtyard.

Zhou Yuqing said: "I'll trouble you with this matter, Junior Brother."

"It's not a problem. Please go ahead and speak, Senior Brother Zhou." Lu Luan replied.

Zhou Yu smiled, then took a step, and a large formation immediately began to operate in the entire room.

"Brother Zhou, what are you doing..."

Lu Luan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"nothing."

Zhou Yu changed his previous warm look, walked over with flowing light on his hands.

Lu Luan realized that he had bad intentions and wanted to use five flying swords.

However, just as he had the thought, he was restrained by the surrounding formation and could not move at all. Then he saw a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and then he lost consciousness.

He fell to the ground and fainted.

After Zhou Yu stepped forward to check for a moment, he said in surprise: "The Huangting has opened, and the vitality of the body is richer than expected. It is also a good quality top-grade ordinary spiritual root. There are not many people with such a good body in the outer sect. Haha, it should be no problem to exchange it for a blood spirit pill."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and put Lu Luan into some kind of magic weapon that could store living things.

After tidying up his clothes, he went out.

As for not seeing Lu Luan, the people outside the courtyard would definitely think that he had left.

"Senior Brother Zhou is going out again?"

When leaving the gate, someone bowed and asked.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "The sect said there may be traces of demonic cultivators in the city recently. I'll go out and check it out."

"Brother Zhou is dedicated to exterminating demons. I admire him."

The man looked at him in awe and worship.

"Exorcising demons and defending the Way is the duty of our disciples."

Zhou Yu smiled lightly, then went into the air.

"You really have a problem."

But he didn't know that in the inn in the distance, a young man was staring at him coldly and then disappeared.

……

Zhou Yufei went out of the city, being very cautious all the way. After a while, he landed in a secret place outside the Monster Mountain Range.

He glanced around calmly and said, "No need to hide, come out."

But there was no movement around.

"Humph!"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly and released a wave of energy, blowing the surrounding grass and trees all over the place.

"Brother Zhou, what good stuff did you bring this time?"

After a while, a red-haired man walked out from the stone wall in front, emitting wisps of black air and laughing strangely.

"You are being too cautious."

Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with displeasure.

The man laughed sinisterly and said, "Aren't you just afraid that you might be exposed and be followed by others?"

"Humph, I haven't been back to the sect for a long time."

"Brother Zhou, don't be angry. What good things did you bring this time?" the man asked.

Zhou Yu waved his hand, and the unconscious Lu Luan fell to the grass.

Zhou Yu pointed at him and said, "This disciple is very rare. He is less than 20 years old, has rich essence in his body, and has the best mortal spiritual roots. Isn't this exactly the material you need for alchemy?"

Using living people to make elixirs, burning them in fierce fire and torturing them to death, such cruel behavior can only be done by a demon cultivator who has killed countless people.

The man took out a stone and stepped forward to examine it for a moment, then nodded and said with satisfaction: "This one is really good. You are indeed a good senior brother of Zhengyang Sect, specializing in kidnapping junior brothers and sisters."

"What did you say?" The sarcastic voice was very harsh and uncomfortable to hear. Zhou Yu glared at him angrily.

The man didn't care at all and said, "Brother Zhou, how about 150 spirit stones?"

"Humph, do you think I'm an idiot?" Zhou Yu looked at him coldly.

"So what does Brother Zhou mean?"

Zhou Yu stretched out a finger and said, "A Blood Spirit Pill."

"Haha, Brother Zhou, you really dare to say that." The man sneered.

Zhou Yu crossed his arms and said, "It's hard to find stuff like this. If you die, you won't be able to make pills."

After he finished speaking, he moved his fingers, and a sharp stream of true energy wrapped around Lu Luan's neck.

"you……"

The man was instantly angry.

"One Blood Spirit Pill. We are happy to cooperate. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to wait for such qualified goods next time."

As Zhou Yu was talking, he had an idea in his mind. He saw blood beginning to flow from Lu Luan's neck. If he wanted to, he could easily take his life.

The man looked straight at him and said, "You want to use the Blood Spirit Pill to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, right?"

"Isn't this for the sake of better transactions in the future?" Zhou Yu said with a sinister smile.

After thinking for a while, the man said in a serious tone: "In that case, I will exchange it with you for a Blood Spirit Pill."

After saying that, a thumb-sized red bottle appeared in his palm and he threw it over.

Zhou Yu took it and opened it, and a huge amount of blood rushed out.

“Good medicine!”

His brows trembled with excitement.

"Brother Zhou, this pill is made from the lives of more than a thousand mortals. Although it is rich in blood, it also contains a lot of troublesome grudges. Be careful not to go astray after taking it." The man warned kindly.

Zhou Yu ignored him and immersed himself in ecstasy.

The man just shook his head and smiled, put away Lu Luan's body, and said with a bow, "Brother Zhou, goodbye."

After saying this, he turned into a gust of black wind and disappeared.

Zhou Yu tightly grasped the ceramic bottle and said sinisterly: "As long as we break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, the core disciples will be nothing!"

……

The man flew with Lu Luan all the way and finally stopped in a dark environment.

"Han Ming, how about the goods you brought this time?"

A tall and thin young man was embraced by the demons and walked out from the darkness. He had a mouth full of sharp teeth and his face was as pale as a corpse. In his right hand, he was holding a beautiful woman who had just died. The woman's neck was full of sharp holes.

Without thinking, I knew that the young man died after sucking all the blood.

"Master, your injury!"

Seeing that the young man was breathing heavily, Han Ming immediately asked worriedly.

The young man threw the body aside and said in a hoarse voice, "The blood can no longer be contained."

Han Ming pointed at Lu Luan on the ground and said, "This time the quality is good, an excellent top-grade ordinary spiritual root, it should be able to be refined into a replenishing spiritual pill, it cost a blood spiritual pill."

"A Blood Spirit Pill? Haha, that kid is getting more and more greedy. When I recover, I will definitely refine him into a zombie puppet." The young man's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Master, the goods this time are really good."

A hunchbacked old woman came up to Lu Luan, looked at him for a while, and said in surprise.

"is it?"

The young man also came over and pressed his palm on Lu Luan's head, and then a breath penetrated into him.

The little guy in Lu Luan's hand felt the terrible breath and tried hard to hide, so no one noticed it.

Its hiding means are not weak.

When the breath flowed through Lu Luan's lungs, the young man immediately felt five very strong fluctuations in it, and immediately laughed:

“Hahahaha, it’s God’s will. I didn’t expect that his organs actually contained five clusters of five-element qi. This is the perfect material for me to refine the soul-replenishing pill!”

Those five balls of gas are actually the spiritual embryos of the martial arts.

When the people around heard it, they immediately congratulated and said, "Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master."

"Ok?"

But soon, his brows furrowed fiercely, and he said ferociously: "Damn it, damn it, how could there still be these hard-to-eliminate toxic substances in his body!"

He felt the deep-rooted fire poison in Lu Luan’s internal organs!

Refining the soul-replenishing elixir requires a pure body. If the fire poison is not removed, the efficacy of the elixir will be destroyed.

You know, the Bu Ling Dan is a pill that nourishes the spiritual roots. If there is anything wrong with the pill, it will affect the spiritual roots of the person taking it.

This young man's spiritual roots were obviously damaged, and he wanted to rely on elixirs to recover.

The old woman with a ghost face at the side came forward to feel it and said, "Master, I have an idea to get rid of these things."

"What's the idea?"

The young man immediately asked excitedly.

The old woman smiled sinisterly and spread out her fingers that were like tree roots. The next moment, a ball of pale white flame appeared.

But at the bottom of this flame, there are souls wailing.

This fire is actually fueled by the soul!

The old woman said, "Master, he has fire poison, and my soul-burning fire is Yin fire, which can refine the impurities in his body."

"Okay, I'll have to trouble the ghost lady then."

The young man's expression began to relax.

"Master, don't worry."

The old woman smiled eerily, then squatted beside Lu Luan's head and wiped her palm across his face.

"What's wrong with me?"

Lu Luan felt his head dizzy, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Who are you!"

However, when he saw the scary face in front of him, he immediately regained his spirit, screamed instinctively, and jumped away.

The old woman stood up, looked at him, and said with a sinister smile: "Hehe, little kid, don't be afraid."

This laughter is chilling.

"you……"

When Lu Luan saw clearly the appearance of the people around him, his heart suddenly felt like it fell into an icy cave.

Because the aura of these people is extremely evil, completely different from immortal cultivators, they are demon cultivators, and furthermore, these auras are terrifyingly powerful.

"hehe."

After the old woman let out an unpleasant laugh, Lu Luan felt that he could not move.

"Don't be afraid, little kid. Grandma will take good care of you."

Then she moved her fingers and Lu Luan floated into the air. Her pupils began to change, one red and one white, and she slowly extended the flame in her hand.

"what!"

In an instant, the fire enveloped Lu Luan, and the intense pain surged into his brain like a tsunami, trying to drown his mind.

But the strange thing was that the flame did not seem to burn his flesh and blood, as if it had no temperature, and even his hair did not change at all.

"Ghost, is your strange fire strong?"

A middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"Would you like to try it?"

The old woman turned and glared at him.

After hearing this voice, the demons around felt their bodies tremble and took a step back involuntarily.

Everyone knows that this old woman's fire can kill people with pain.

Lu Luan's fire poison is deeply rooted. How can it be eliminated without going through a torment worse than death?
