Chapter 139 – One Hundred Thousand Spirit Stones, Xiao Xi Yue’s Change!
by Jessie@AFNCCChapter 139 – One Hundred Thousand Spirit Stones, Xiao Xi Yue’s Change!
“Rumble!”
The soul of the Evil Jiao engulfed and drowned the red-robed youth, and the horrifying light and splendor of the breath blanketed the area, causing the entire void to roar and explode.
“Ah…”
A stern cry came out over the waves.
“Whew!”
This strike of the Treasure Bone Explosion also caused Lu Changsheng’s face to turn a little pale and his sternum to ache vaguely.
Through the red bead that was hardened against the golden light brick, he knew that the red-robed youth was not completely dead.
“Go!”
Lu Changsheng gave orders to the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, lest the other party still had any strength left.
At the same time, he continued to manipulate the golden light bricks with his mind.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that the red beads resisting the golden light bricks had greatly reduced in power and were falling.
It showed that the red-robed youth was in a very bad situation and was difficult to fight.
“Boom boom boom!”
As the golden light bricks continued to suppress the Red Luan Bead, a blood-colored light rushed out from the Evil Jiao’s Soul.
It was the red-robed youth.
His black armor was tattered at this point, and his hair was cloaked in a mess.
“Ah give this seat wait, this revenge .”
The red-robed youth released harsh words under his breath, and was about to escape with a secret method.
The result was that the words were not yet finished.
The bricks of golden light that stretched across the air then pressed down like mountains.
“Pfft!”
At the same time, a golden thread burst out like an arrow, directly piercing through his brow, leaving a bloody hole.
It was the six-winged golden silkworm.
In the next moment, the golden light bricks also fell down with a bang, suppressing the Red Luanzhu and the red-robed youth towards the bottom in unison.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng wrapped his arms around Xiao Xiyue’s petite body and harnessed his flying magic weapon, which also flew down quickly.
“Boom!”
With a loud boom.
The golden light bricks suppressed the youth directly into the mountain range earth, causing the ground to shake.
“Whew, worthy of being a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator, so hard to kill!”
“This precious bone of mine has been contained for many years, and is not in the least bit weaker than a rune treasure’s full force, but it was actually wrenched free and almost given an escape.”
Lu Changsheng was able to feel that the other party’s vitality was almost extinguished under the strike of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.
Just to be on the safe side, it made up for this hit with the golden light brick.
Through the golden light bricks, he could perceive that the red-robed youth suppressed below was completely lifeless.
However, in order to insure the period, Lu Changsheng still took out three top-grade talismans and one extreme-grade talisman and arranged them around the golden light brick.
After doing so, Lu Changsheng’s mind moved slightly, causing the golden light bricks to slowly rise.
Seeing the large pit, already bloodied corpses, Lu Changsheng was completely relieved.
Will float in the air, like a small mountain of golden light brick treasure light introverted, constantly shrinking, restoring the talisman appearance, flying back to Lu Changsheng’s hands.
But at this moment, the talisman treasure was very dull, and even the talisman paper looked a bit tattered.
“This talisman treasure, I’m afraid that if I use it once more, it will be completely scrapped.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the dimmed golden light brick talisman treasure in his hand and said in his heart.
This golden light brick talisman treasure, which had been used by him many times, had already consumed most of its power.
In the battle just now, although it was not long, under his full power of excitation, the consumption was very great.
“If this Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator is a poor man, I’ll lose blood in this wave.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the bloodied bodies within the large pit caused by the golden light bricks and lightly exhaled.
But this is unlikely.
Just the other party’s red bead, the Mori White Small Sword, and the blood-colored scissors were worth a lot.
Lu Changsheng didn’t think much about it, lest the noise of the battle just now lured people in.
Holding Xiao Xiyue’s delicate body, the red-robed youth’s bloodied body as well as the treasures scattered around were swept up and collected, and then quickly left.
Half an hour later.
Lu Changsheng found a cave in the mountain range.
Putting Xiao Xi Yue down in his arms.
From the storage bag, he took out the ‘Canopy Five Elements Formation’ and simply set it up.
This set of formations had the effect of trapping the enemy and isolating the breath, it was very useful and had been carried by Lu Changsheng.
Only after setting up the formation did Lu Changsheng take out a recovery elixir from his storage pouch and used a healing talisman on himself to make his entire body feel much better.
Immediately, he checked Xiao Xi Yue’s condition again.
It should just be a damaged mind and excessive spiritual energy consumption, nothing serious.
After Lu Changsheng made an initial judgment, he poured a healing elixir into his lips.
Then use a healing talisman on her.
Immediately, he saw that the other’s pale face was much better.
“Between the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage, aside from the qualitative changes in terms of Spiritual Energy and Mana, there is another major difference in terms of Divine Sense.”
“Foundation Establishment cultivators are born with divine sense, whether it’s for fighting or cultivation, they master great convenience.”
“If I didn’t have the Peach Blossom Compass just now, to defend me against the Divine Sense attack, I’m afraid that I would have been just like Xiao Xiyue, with my mind damaged.”
Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue’s appearance, and in his heart, he realized that Qi Refining met Foundation Establishment in the most unresolved way.
Even if you have talismanic treasures, you can’t defend yourself against this kind of divine sense attack.
If he didn’t have the Peach Blossom Compass, he might have been struck as well.
However, Lu Changsheng had only just realized that the Peach Blossom Compass actually had an effect in this regard.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and looked inward to check the situation of the Peach Blossom Compass in his brow.
It’s just relatively wilted quite a bit, but nothing major.
That’s normal.
At least it’s a celestial spirit compulsion.
And peach blossom parasites grow very quickly.
Under his exuberant peach blossom luck, he had grown to the first turn limit.
If he hadn’t been restricted by Lu Changsheng’s cultivation, he would have already been able to advance to the second turn.
Seeing that Xiao Xi Yue couldn’t wake up for a while, Lu Changsheng also stripped off the red-robed youth’s storage bag and storage belt.
Start cleaning up the loot from this round.
“Let’s hope it gives me a hard wave of blood back.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the storage belt and storage bag with some anticipation in his heart.
After all, the red-robed youth didn’t look like an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator either.
Think it shouldn’t be too poor.
“Buzz buzz–“
At this time, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm on the side flew around Lu Changsheng.
The thin cicada-like wings spread out, emitting a bloodthirsty aura.
“Go on.”
Lu Changsheng naturally understood what the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm meant and let out a light laugh.
He didn’t burn the red-robed youth to ashes, that is, he left it to the Six-Winged Golden Cicada.
After all, this Six-winged Golden Silkworm was feeding on blood.
This red-robed youth, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his body’s essence blood was naturally a great tonic for the Six-winged Golden Silkworm.
With Lu Changsheng’s permission, the Six-winged Golden Silkworm immediately drilled into the red-robed youth’s body and began to feast.
“Isn’t that a bit of a devil’s errand.”
Lu Changsheng smacked his lips as he watched the behavior of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.
Immediately, he shook his head again and said, “It’s just a utilization of resources, and it’s going to be burned to ashes even if it’s not fed to the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.”
“Besides, it’s a far cry from the Devil’s Way.”
“Earlier, I read in a book that some Devil Dao cultivators are using humans, demonic beasts, all living things, any resources that can be utilized for cultivation.”
“What with the Human Skin Book, the White Bone Sword, the Pool of Blood and Flesh, the Ten Thousand Souls Streamer, and even one’s seven passions and six desires, grudges and hatred can all be used for cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng tsked and sighed.
He had also roughly read in a book before, about the difference between the righteous path and the devil path.
It’s not presented in much detail, but it’s a good overview.
That is to say, in order to cultivate, whether it is gong method or means behavior, the devil cultivator is more extreme, not very humane.
Thus, it also leads to a certain difference in the speed of cultivation and the breakthrough realm.
Still, by and large, there wasn’t much difference between the righteous cultivators and the devil cultivators.
“That cheap great-uncle of mine just seems to have taken to the devil’s path, and now I don’t know what’s going on, whether he’s still alive or not.”
Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered his wife Qu Zhenzhen’s brother, Qu Changge.
I don’t know how my own cheap great-uncle, who had stepped into the devil’s path, was doing after so many years.
After all, in the Jiang Kingdom, the devil cultivators could not mix well.
Without continuing to ruminate, Lu Changsheng checked out the storage belt.
“So many spirit stones, materials!?”
Lu Changsheng immediately saw that there were a bunch of spirit stones and materials inside, and immediately looked surprised.
Even though he hadn’t taken a detailed inventory, he could tell at a glance that this pile of spirit stones wasn’t a small amount.
There were also many crystal clear medium grade spirit stones inside.
“Well, what is it?”
Lu Changsheng looked at another crystal porcelain vase.
It contained half a bottle of red-colored gravel crystals that looked like glass.
Just by the warm jade-like spirit bottle and the crystal’s appearance, Lu Changsheng could tell that this was not a mortal object.
Opening the porcelain bottle, he immediately felt a rich blazing heat.
Each crystal grit has a precious light flowing through it.
“How come it’s a bit like the book’s record of the conjugation spirit, Heavenly Flame Glaze?”
“If this thing is really a conjugation spirit item, Heavenly Flame Glaze, it’s worth at least 50,000 to 60,000 spirit stones.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the crystal porcelain vase with a smile on his face and put it into his storage bag.
Like ordinary foundation building spirits, two or three thousand spirit stones a piece.
However, when it comes to dan-forming spirit items, the price is a twenty-fold increase.
And there is a market for it!
Lu Changsheng continued to clean up.
When they saw ordinary materials and magic weapons, they didn’t have too many ripples inside.
“Red Luan True Scripture, a paragon level technique.”
“Looks like there’s something after all, there’s actually a paragon level technique.”
“However, the technique is crippled and can only be cultivated up to the JieDan stage, but the two secret arts inside can be studied afterward.”
Lu Changsheng found a few gongfu jade slips from his storage belt.
After a few cursory glances, it was a few advanced techniques and the inheritance of the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation.
Only this Red Luan True Scripture gave Lu Changsheng a few moments of interest.
“This is a magic treasure embryo?”
Lu Changsheng saw another small tripod with a black and red body from it and held it in his hand to survey it.
This small tripod had only a tripod-shaped outline.
Neither the mold nor the pattern has been sculpted yet, like a rough embryo.
But from checking the material of the small tripod and the breath emitted, it made Lu Changsheng, who was also considered to have seen the world, vaguely feel that this was a magic treasure.
However, a magic treasure of this appearance was again far inferior to the Black Dragon Dharma Bead, immediately causing Lu Changsheng to guess that it was a magic treasure embryo.
As far as Lu Changsheng knew, most cultivators’ innate magic treasures were refined by themselves through some kind of rare and precious heavenly material.
Then by creating an embryo, it is then slowly cultivated and contained into a prototype, and finally becomes a magic treasure.
This had the advantage of allowing to be able to harness a prototype of a magic treasure right at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
And the magic treasure prototype was birthed well in advance, so that once the dan was formed, it would directly allow the magic treasure to take shape and increase its power greatly.
“Could it be that this red-robed youth, is a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?”
“Otherwise this would be a conjugation spirit and a magic treasure embryo.”
Lu Changsheng glanced at the corpse that was having its blood drawn by the Six-Winged Golden Cicada and guessed in his heart.
After all, how could an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator like this possibly have such a treasured item.
However, by cleaning up the loot, it made Lu Changsheng’s heart a bit grateful.
This was because he had also cleared out six second-order extreme talismans from the red-robed youth’s storage bag, as well as some treasures such as the Heavenly Thunderbolt, White Bone Arrow, and so on.
Knowing that the latter actually has quite a few undercurrents.
If they had gone all out to kill at the beginning when facing him and Xiao Xi Yue, where would they have had a chance to fight back.
There was simply no time to offer up a talismanic treasure to suppress it.
“It’s still the same thing, if a lion fights a rabbit, it also uses its full strength.”
“Otherwise it might be gutteral at some point.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly and let out a sigh of emotion.
Put the little tripod away and continue cleaning.
This tripod was not very useful to him even if it was a magic treasure embryo.
It’s just a valuable piece of material.
In addition to selling it later depending on the situation, it could be used to cultivate the Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Technique.
After all, a magic treasure embryo, was considered a magic treasure.
It can be used to condense into the body.
The next cleanup process didn’t result in any high-value items that would surprise Lu Changsheng.
“One hundred and twenty-eight medium grade spirit stones.”
“Three thousand eight hundred and ninety-four lower grade spirit stones.”
“One suspected Jiedan Spirit Item, and one Foundation Establishment Spirit Item.”
“There is one embryo of a magic treasure and four spirit weapons, but one of them is worn out and one of them is badly broken, so they are basically discarded and can only be used as scraps for cultivating the Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Technique.”
“Two top-grade magic weapons, three extreme-grade magic weapons, one flying boat, one Heavenly Thunderbolt, and one first-order Life Extension Pill .”
“Together with this pile of pills, talismans, and materials, the total value is more than 100,000 spirit stones, right?”
After clearing everything out, Lu Changsheng looked at the wave of loot and roughly calculated the play value before also taking a deep breath and exhaling it long.
This wave of loot could be considered a great harvest that he had never seen before.
The Kou’s Five Murderers, who had the biggest haul before, still added Meng Xiaochan’s two Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects to go over ten thousand.
And now, the red-robed youth’s harvest alone was directly running a hundred thousand huge.
This wealth also made Lu Changsheng realize even more that this person was not simple.
“From the situation just now, he should be targeting Xiao Xi Yue, wanting to capture her alive.”
Lu Changsheng smacked his lips as he looked at the still unconscious Xiao Xi Yue.
Think it’s not simple.
One must know that Xiao Xi Yue was a Green Cloud Sect JieDan real disciple.
Now that a Foundation Establishment Major Cultivator had come to capture Xiao Xi Yue despite knowing her identity, it made him feel that things were not simple.
“Alas, it is true that when there is more involvement, there is more karma.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head, and after putting the items away, he took out seven medium grade spirit stones and replaced them on his puppet.
In the battle just now, this second-order puppet did not suffer any shattering.
However, the consumption of spirit stones was too great, and of the ten spirit stones inside, almost seven were consumed.
“After this trip back, if I have time, I can also build a few more puppets.”
Lu Changsheng thought in his heart.
Even with the materials he harvested, it would be almost enough for him to build a second-order puppet.
But the next moment, Lu Changsheng shook his head.
“It is imperative that I still cultivate, otherwise, with my current mind, even if I have multiple puppets, there is no way to manipulate them at the same time.”
In the battle just now, Lu Changsheng also clearly realized his shortcomings in this area.
Operating a golem during battle was already the limit.
If one manipulated more puppets, it would be difficult for him or her to be distracted from other things.
“Most of the techniques that cultivate the mind also have to be done after the birth of divine consciousness.”
“This aspect can’t be rushed for a while, unless the system is able to draw feats in this area.”
Lu Changsheng lightly exhaled, took the two lower grade spirit stones, and began to sit in meditation to heal and recover.
The next day, Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xi Yue who was still unconscious.
Seeing that the effect of the healing talisman on the other party had almost dissipated, he took out another one and used it.
As the talisman flowed through Xiao Xiyue’s muscles as if it were lotus nectar, it caused her to wake up with a ‘calling’ sound.
“Fellow Daoist Xiao, you’re awake?”
Seeing Xiao Xi Yue waking up, Lu Changsheng immediately asked with concern.
“Fellow Daoist Lu?”
“Where are we? Where is that robber cultivator?”
Xiao Xiyue sat up and looked at the humble cave she was in and asked out loud.
It was unknown whether he had escaped or was imprisoned by that red-robed youth.
“Under the two talismanic treasures of you and me, that robber cultivator is also at his limit Lu Mou has used all his cards and barely killed him”
Lu Changsheng sighed, a little heartbroken, and said in hindsight.
With that, he returned Xiao Xi Yue’s turtle armor, sword pill, cloud paw, and talisman treasure.
He was greedy for money, but not so greedy as to covet this from his own child’s mother.
“You actually decimated him!”
Xiao Xi Yue was a bit incredulous.
In the previous brief exchange, she knew that the red-robed youth was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
It was at least a mid Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Although himself and Lu Changsheng suppressed it with the help of the power of the talismanic treasure.
But suppression and decimation are two completely different concepts.
She was baffled.
Spinning his somewhat pale cheeks, he revealed a smile that didn’t match his usual coolness, like a snow lotus blooming, “I didn’t think that Fellow Daoist Lu was hiding so deeply.”
She knew that Lu Changsheng had hidden.
However, when they saw the second-order puppets, talismanic treasures, and Lu Changsheng’s cultivation, they were already surprised beyond measure.
I didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to hide so deeply.
Now that she heard that Lu Changsheng had decapitated the red-robed youth, it even made her have a new understanding of Lu Changsheng.
Seeing Lu Changsheng frown slightly.
Xiao Xi Yue also seemed to understand something.
His lips pursed lightly, “Fellow Daoist Lu don’t worry, every Immortal Cultivator has their own secrets.”
“When you were in Ruyi County City, Xi Yue sensed that you were different from ordinary cultivators, and that you definitely had the secret of chance.”
“So don’t worry, Xi Yue can swear by her Dao heart that she will never tell anyone about Friend Lu Dao.”
Xiao Xiyue was already a smart person, and cultivating the Supreme Forgetfulness Skill, she was even more Taoist-centered.
When the words were finished, he made a direct oath that he would not mention the matter to a third person.
“Fellow Daoist Xiao doesn’t need to be like this, things aren’t as serious as this.”
Lu Changsheng was smiling, very satisfied with Xiao Xi Yue’s thoughtfulness.
After all, exposing one’s talismanic treasure, something like cultivation, was still a risk.
He himself had originally thought about how to hint at Xiao Xi Yue, but he didn’t expect the other party to directly take the initiative.
“If it weren’t for Fellow Daoist Lu this time, Xi Yue would be in danger.”
“Before, Fellow Daoist Lu helped Xi Yue to cultivate, and now he has sacrificed his life to save her, although he killed the robber cultivator with the help of his undercard, he must have lost a lot of money himself, so Xi Yue really doesn’t know how to repay him.”
Xiao Xi Yue’s eyes were lightly lowered as she said softly.
An inexplicable emotion appeared in his heart as he fought against the robber cultivator.
At the moment, the emotion was germinating fast in the heart.
She herself did not run the Tai Shang Forgetfulness Technique to suppress the emotion, allowing it to permeate her heart.
“Hehe, that’s out of line for Fellow Daoist Xiao.”
“At that time, the situation was such that it was really difficult for Mister Lu to abandon Fellow Daoist Xiao and leave.”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and also noticed that Xiao Xi Yue’s look and demeanor had changed somewhat.
Through such a long period of contact, he knew that Xiao Xi Yue’s cool and dusty appearance would disappear only when she was practicing.
Once he stopped practicing and adapted to the practice, he would soon return to a cool and dusty look.
But at this moment, Xiao Xi Yue’s appearance was completely different from usual.
It made Lu Changsheng recall the lively, straightforward, and bright Xiao Xi Yue from ten years ago.
Moreover, he was keenly aware that Xiao Xi Yue’s self-proclaimed title had changed to Xi Yue.
Obviously quite close to himself.
Knowing that experiencing life and death, something like a hero saving a woman’s life is the best way to brush up on goodwill.
The words just fell.
Xiao Xi Yue’s exquisite and stunningly beautiful, somewhat pale face then took the initiative to stick up.
Lu Changsheng immediately felt a warm, sweet fragrance coming from between his lips.
An unmistakably fresh and fragrant body odor was detected between her nostrils.
Spinning around, the two kissed each other like this.
This time, the fairy was very proactive.
Let Lu Changsheng taste a different flavor.
A few moments later.
Lu Changsheng loosened the warm fragrance and soft jade in his arms.
After all, it’s not easy to settle a fire in the middle of nowhere.
And there’s one more thing to fix now.
It was the red-robed youth who was obviously targeting Xiao Xi Yue, and whether the other party still had any backhanders to find trouble.
“Fellow Daoist Xiao, that robber cultivator obviously came at you earlier, in this situation”
Lu Changsheng spelled out his thoughts.
“The other party should be coming for me, wanting to target my Master by tackling me.”
Xiao Xi Yue nodded with a ghostly expression, also realizing this problem.
“Without delay, Xi Yue is prepared to make a trip back to report this matter to her master.”
“The matter of cultivation can only be put on hold for the time being, I’ll come back to Green Bamboo Mountain to seek out Fellow Daoist Lu after I’ve resolved this matter.”
Xiao Xi Yue pursed her lips and said softly.
Also know that you are in a dangerous situation.
And with Lu Changsheng, not only was he in danger, he might even implicate Lu Changsheng again.
The next time something like this happens, you may not be as lucky.
“Okay, do you need a ride.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Think it’s natural to look for a backer for this kind of thing when you have one.
“Heiyue will just go back on her own.”
“Fellow Daoist Lu should be preparing for Foundation Establishment as well, right?”
Xiao Xi Yue raised her voice and inquired.
“I still need to polish for a few more years before I can prepare for foundation building.”
At this time, Lu Changsheng didn’t hide too much.
It had been less than a year since he had broken through the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual energy still needed to be polished for several years before he was ready to build his foundation.
“Good, when Xi Yue finishes settling things she will return to help Lu Lang build his foundation.”
Xiao Xi Yue smiled sweetly, her moving voice carried a few moments of sweetness, and after finishing, she kissed towards Lu Chang Sheng again.
Ugh, I’m crap and two shifts are actually so hard .
