"I don't know what their relationship is with that unknown foundation-building cultivator. But I can't care about that at the moment."
The more than 100 spirit stones and magic tools worth 1,400 yuan that he had obtained were a huge fortune. He should leave this place quickly at this moment. If the foundation-building cultivator was really the backstage and found something unusual and came over, it would be terrible.
Lu Ping packed up and went directly to the dock instead of returning to the Danpu in Fangshi. He was going to take a boat back to Chongming Island. Once he got to Chongming Island, he would be safe and could use the Lu family's name to do things.
The other side
The woods outside Black Wind Cliff were on fire.
The surrounding villagers discovered it and reported it to the monks in Taihangfang City.
By the time they arrived, both the fire and the rain had stopped, and a lot of traces at the scene had been destroyed.
The leading blue-clad guard went and asked the people around him, "Have you found out who the deceased is? Who are the two parties fighting?"
"Captain, we found traces of two battles nearby, with a total of three dead bodies. The identities of the dead are not yet clear."
"but."
"But what? Hurry up and tell me."
"We roughly checked the angle of the spell, it should be launched from the air."
"In the air."
"Yes."
"Then he must be a master of foundation building." "That should be the case." The person who spoke wiped the sweat off his face.
"Since it's about building the foundation, then it has nothing to do with us."
"Let's go, gather the team."
"But Captain, the type of spell at the scene is a little strange."
"What's so strange?" asked the captain.
"The spells in the two battlefields are all Qi training spells, and there is no trace of foundation building spells."
"Will it?"
"What do you mean by can or cannot?" The captain interrupted the team member directly.
"The market rules state that those who set fires during the Qi Refining stage will be punished, but those who are in the Foundation Building stage will not be punished, and the fights outside the market have nothing to do with us."
"Now that the fire is out and the cultivator who was suspected to be building a foundation has disappeared, the matter is over. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand." The team member nodded and agreed.
"But how do I write the report?"
"Report."
The captain thought for a moment and said, "Let's just write that three Qi training monks provoked the foundation building monks and were killed by the foundation building monks. The fire was set by the Qi training monks, and the foundation building monks also participated in putting out the fire, and they are nowhere to be found."
"Just write it like this."
"yes."
"Let's pack up." After the captain saw that the matter had been dealt with, he organized a meeting at the market.
Watching the team members start to leave, the man called the captain was also thinking in his heart. "Don't you know that there is something strange? The spell cast by the foundation-building cultivator is so weak that it even gives the three Qi-training cultivators time to fight back. There must be something strange."
"But whether it's the Foundation Establishment cultivator playing cat and mouse, or the Qi Condensation cultivator using multiple flying talismans." They can't afford to offend the Blue Guards in the Qi Condensation period, so why bother?
If the fire hadn't been discovered here, they wouldn't have set out.
When the blue-clothed guards had gone far away, a man in a gray robe appeared. He checked the traces and came to the same conclusion.
Muttering to himself, "Rich Qi training or boring foundation building?"
Then he scolded the three people, "Didn't I tell them not to mess with those with backers?"
"How could I have provoked such an enemy?"
"I don't have many heart-eating bugs left."
As soon as he sensed the death of the heart-eating worm, he felt that something was wrong, and in less than half an hour, all three people were dead.
By the time I got here, the person had already run away.
"But the Heart-Eating Bug is a strange bug. Once the host dies, it will die with it."
"And when one dies, special pheromones will be emitted to the surrounding area. The person who received the storage bag of these three idiots must have been contaminated by it."
"You can definitely catch him if you wait at the dock yourself."
"Humph, you want to run away after killing me."
Afterwards, the grey-robed man rode his flying sword straight to the largest dock, and when he arrived at the dock, several ships had already set out.
After waiting for three days, the man still didn't see the person with the marks, so he had to give up.
Lu Ping, sitting on the ship, also calmed down.
This was Lu Ping's first time killing someone, but during the fight, Lu Ping did not feel any discomfort, perhaps because of the intense excitement during the fight that he had no time to think.
The harvest after the battle also made him smile happily, so he never thought about the bloody scenes during the battle.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Then it seems that I am indeed more adapted to this world of cultivation."
Lu Ping thought about the original mission again. He now had three missions. "How are these three missions related?"
"We need to understand the principle of issuing this task."
"If you think about it carefully, if there is anything in common, one is that I want to take it on, and the second is that there is a certain amount of compensation."
“When the Black Wind Taoist invited him before, he had no idea. But later when he said he would give him 100 spirit stones, he became interested, and that’s when the task came about.
If you think about it this way, when the commissioned task has a certain reward and you want to do it, then the task will be triggered.
This is to summarize in order to better trigger the system's task information and rewards. After all, the reward given by a task is close to half of the gains from this battle.
After four days of sailing, the ship finally arrived at Chongming Island.
Lu Ping set foot on Chongming Island again after seven months, and he once again felt the familiar feeling of Chongming Island.
After Lu Ping calmed down a little, he prepared to go to Chongming Peak first.
He planned to first report his recent situation to his great-grandfather and tell his grandfather that he had become an alchemist.
I wonder if my great grandfather will be shocked to hear that I have become an alchemist.
When Lu Ping thought about what might happen, a filial smile appeared on his face.
When Lu Ping arrived at the foot of Chongming Peak, he happened to meet Lu Hao.
"Hey, Lu Ping, you're back?"
"Yes, I just came back and was going to pay a visit to the clan leader."
Lu Ping was about to take action when he was stopped by Lu Hao.
Before Lu Ping even asked, Lu Hao explained to him, "The clan leader and several members of the family who are building their foundation are now in seclusion."
"And I said that unless it's a big deal, we can't disturb him, so you can't go to him now."
Lu Ping had no choice but to do it after hearing this, and asked again:
"Ah, who is the head of the family now?"
"The current family host is Elder Lu Xuanhai."
"Elder Lu Xuanhai?"
"Yes, not only Elder Lu Xuanhai, but also the newly joined Elder Chen Yi."
"She became the chief steward in charge of internal affairs, responsible for distributing elixirs and cultivation materials, and also in charge of the family's rewards and punishments."
Lu Ping was a little surprised to hear this. Generally speaking, cultivators like Chen Yi who joined later would not be entrusted with important tasks. They would only be entrusted with important tasks after a long process of assessment.
