"hold head high……"

As the monster roared, a yellow light enveloped its entire body, making it particularly conspicuous at night.

"This is what Mayor Li said, the light shield that cannot be harmed by swords and knives. The monster seems to be confident in this defense and has no intention of running away."

"Sure enough, the monster had never seen a flying sword before. It thought it was just an ordinary flying sword and didn't even try to avoid it."

Thinking of this, Lu Ping controlled the flying sword to fly towards the monster's head. The yellow light was instantly broken like paper, and the flying sword penetrated through with its remaining momentum.

"Oh, Ang"

The injured monster screamed loudly, and blood kept spilling from its head, soaking the surrounding soil.

He even ran in the opposite direction of the flying sword, trying to escape from it. The direction he ran in was exactly where a team of Lingtian guards were.

When the guards saw the monster running towards them, their faces turned pale and their legs trembled, but they did not dare to run away.

Lu Ping was overjoyed when he saw the flying sword pierce the monster's head, because the monster did not fall down, and he was surprised at the monster's vitality. Then he saw that the monster was going crazy and wanted to hurt people, so he immediately controlled the flying sword to turn back, and did not stab it again, but chose to cut it, wanting to cut off the monster's head.

The flying sword flashed a faint blue light in the air and there was a sound of breaking through the air. The speed of the flying sword was three times faster than before. This was because Lu Ping used the Gale Step to chase the monster and was closer to the flying sword, so he could control it better.

The sharp flying sword flashed directly across the monster's head and left the mad monster's neck.

The originally manic monster stopped moving instantly, and its three-meter-tall body suddenly fell to the ground.

"boom"

The body of the monster fell about ten meters away from the guards of the spiritual field. Its head was separated from its body, and the separated part was as smooth as a mirror. Instantly, the monster's blood gushed out, soaking the surrounding soil. It only gushed two or three times and then stopped.

Seeing the monster fall to the ground, Lu Ping was no longer in a hurry. He controlled the flying sword to return like Tathagata. When the Weak Water Sword returned, Lu Ping saw that there was not a trace of blood on the sword, so he sheathed the flying sword and acted relaxed. Lu Ping's move was naturally to show the Lu family's skills in front of everyone.

The guards of the spiritual fields all around were stunned. Looking at the relaxed and carefree Immortal Master of the Lu Family, they only felt that the Immortal Master of the Lu Family had extraordinary means. Then they thought, isn't it normal for an Immortal Master to have such means!

The one who was more surprised than the guards was Mayor Li. Unlike these guards, he had never seen the immortal master's methods and had no idea what he was doing.

Although Mayor Li did not know how powerful the flying sword was, he had participated in other operations to conquer monsters and had seen the immortal master in action. He knew that not all immortal masters of the Lu family had such means. This young immortal master Lu Ping was probably also an extraordinary existence in the Lu family, so he became even more eager.

Lu Ping walked slowly to the corpse of the monster, looked at the fallen corpse, and did some inspection. He found that although the task was completed, there was no reward. He was a little confused. Why did he have to submit the task after completing it? Lu Ping thought about it and didn't care. He would know when he returned to hand it in.

Turning to analyze the battle, this species of monster is called Huangshan Pig. Huangshan monsters are named after the innate spells that wild beasts possess after they become spirits and become first-class monsters.

The innate magic of this monster is "Huangshan", so it is naturally called Huangshan Pig.

"Sure enough, this Yellow Mountain pig has never seen a cultivator, nor has he seen a cultivator's magic weapon. He thinks he has powerful magic innately. During his two actions, mortal swords and knives could not hurt him. When faced with an abnormality, he did not immediately take precautions. His fate was doomed when a flying sword got close to him. After all, even a foundation-building cultivator without defensive magic is doomed to die if pierced by a flying sword."

"However, I also have shortcomings. I knew that this monster was huge and had strong vitality, but I still used stabbing, which resulted in little success in the sneak attack. If I had used slashing in the first attack, I'm afraid it would have been killed in one blow."

"I have no experience this time and I made such a low-level mistake. I need to summarize it carefully."

Looking back on the past, there were too many mistakes and omissions.

If I fight with a monk, I might lose the initiative, but the most important thing is to learn from the lesson.

Learn from past mistakes and never make the same mistakes again! After checking the condition of the monster and summarizing it, he said to Mayor Li, "Mayor Li, please do some simple processing on this monster's body."

"No trouble, no trouble."

"Leave this matter to Li. This is not the first time that Li has done something like this. He will naturally handle it for the Immortal Master."

"Oh~, has Mayor Li dealt with monsters before?"

Mayor Li recalled, "In the past ten years, the Immortal Master Lu of Yulin Town has killed three monsters. This one is the fourth one."

"It seems that the birth of monsters is not difficult. There are twenty-seven towns on Chongming Island with a total population of one million. Nearly one hundred monsters are born every ten years." Lu Ping thought.

Lu Ping felt relieved when he heard that Mayor Li had experience in handling this situation.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, he is the head of a town. The incident of a wild beast turning into a spirit happens every three to five years, and Yulin Town has not changed its head for ten years. Head Li naturally knows what to do.

Under the command of Mayor Li, everyone worked together to tie up the wild boar's body and put it on a wooden board, ready to carry it out of the valley and to the town for subsequent disposal.

After the monster dies, its defense is greatly reduced and it can be cut by ordinary swords.

When everything was ready, some guards carried the body of the monster to the town, while the other guards stayed behind to continue guarding the spiritual fields, collecting the soil moistened by the monster's blood to fertilize the land for use on the spiritual fields.

On the second day in Yulin Town, a celebration banquet was being held at the mayor's house. Although killing the pig monster was just a small matter for Lu Ping, for Mayor Li, the arrival of the Lu family's immortal master at the banquet was a must. Whether it was to prevent the immortal master from feeling treated lightly or to make himself familiar in front of the immortal master, a celebration banquet was inevitable.

There are about 100,000 mortals living in Yulin Town. To these mortals, the Lu family that rules Chongming Island is like an emperor, and the Lu family members are naturally equivalent to royal relatives. Although there is no secular dynasty in this place of cultivation in the Endless Sea, this does not prevent everyone from admiring the Lu family.

As the protagonist, Lu Ping was originally unwilling to attend such a banquet, as it was meaningless.

However, he had heard Mayor Li's request before, so in order to prevent Mayor Li from thinking that he was easy to talk to, he did not refuse the banquet. Accompanied by the mayor, the others were just there to make up the numbers for the lively atmosphere.

The banquet was filled with mundane delicacies, which tasted delicious. No wonder there were often monks who indulged in the mundane world.

But Lu Ping only took a few bites.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the guards brought the monster skins, flesh, and bones. Lu Ping took a quick look and took out a storage bag to put them away.

At this moment, Mayor Li suddenly became a little hesitant.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Lu Ping knew immediately that Mayor Li was doing this because of the promise he made earlier.

"Mayor Li, are those children ready? If they are, I can test their spiritual roots for them."

Upon hearing this, Mayor Li immediately said without hesitation: "Master, they are ready and are in the east yard."

"Okay, let's test their spiritual roots."

Arriving at the east courtyard, Lu Ping saw these children standing obediently, about twenty people, of varying ages, the oldest no more than fourteen or fifteen, the youngest no more than six or seven. There were guards around to watch over these children.

The Lu family conducts a large-scale test every three years. Anyone over the age of six can be tested, but no matter how large the test is, there are still people who are not tested.

Apparently these children were not tested either.

As a member of the Lu family, it is his duty to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits, and it is also his duty to test the spiritual roots of the family. This is all to strengthen the power of the family, and this is the real reason why he agreed to Mayor Li.

Seeing that they had lined up in advance, they must have been waiting here for a long time, so Lu Ping didn't waste time. He pinched his hands together and performed the soul-detecting technique. This kind of spell for detecting spiritual roots did not require the same release speed as combat spells, and could slowly gather spiritual energy.

Lu Ping felt the spiritual energy in his body slowly decreasing. He stopped gathering the energy and immediately cast a spell to cover all the children. A milky white light appeared on each child.

After three breaths, the light dissipated and no one showed any abnormality, indicating that none of these children had spiritual roots.

[You have gained something from practicing the Spirit Detection Technique. Your proficiency level has increased by 1] [Spirit Detection Technique Lv1 (26/100)]

But this is normal, after all, only one in ten thousand mortals possesses spiritual roots.

Mayor Li and the guards around him were somewhat disappointed when they saw the test results, but they dared not show it. Seeing this, Lu Ping also understood that these children might be the children of Mayor Li and the guards.

"Thank you for your hard work, Immortal Master."

"I also prepared it for the Immortal Master."

Lu Ping immediately interrupted the rest of Mayor Li's words.

"We have finished the matter here. The clan has other important matters to attend to. We will set off today. We will not trouble Mayor Li anymore."

After saying that, Lu Ping used the Swift Wind Step to leave the town.

See the immortal master leave.

After everyone in Yulin Town bowed, they shouted in unison:

"Farewell, Master."

On the way back to his tribe, Lu Ping continued to perform the Swift Wind Step, skillfully utilizing its characteristics.

[You have practiced Swift Wind Step and gained something. Your proficiency has increased by 1] [You have practiced Swift Wind Step and gained something. Your proficiency has increased by 1] [You have practiced Swift Wind Step and gained something. Your proficiency has increased by 1] [Swift Wind Step Lv5 (135/2000)]

It was already noon when Lu Ping arrived at Chongming Peak. He did not return to his residence, but immediately rushed to the Foreign Affairs Hall.
