County government office.

County Magistrate Chen Fan called County Magistrate Chen Dao, County Lieutenant Zhang Long and others, took out a portrait and said:

"This person's name is Qi You, and he is an evil cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining. He likes to use living people to raise ghosts and refine corpses. His methods are cruel, and he may have fled to Qinghe County!"

"The higher-ups have notified us that if anyone captures or kills the person, they will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and a medium-level martial arts skill."

Upon hearing about the intermediate martial arts, Chen Dao, Zhang Long and the others took a deep breath, with a burning look in their eyes.

Just thinking that the other party was an evil cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining was like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

In this extraordinary world, no matter whether it is the county magistrate, the county magistrate, or the county lieutenant, they are not ordinary people, or it can be said that as long as one has a status, there are basically no ordinary people.

If I can’t cultivate immortality, can’t I practice martial arts?

However, none of them are very strong. County Lieutenant Zhang Long has just completed the flesh refining and entered the third level of body refining and tendon refining.

County Magistrate Chen Dao is still in the second stage of body refining and flesh refining.

They would most likely be unable to defeat an evil cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.

Cultivators have a great advantage in the early stages, because warriors cultivate their bodies and need to get close to kill cultivators.

However, immortal cultivators have many methods, and it is difficult for ordinary warriors to get close to them.

For example, Qi You, who is at the third level of Qi Refining, can fly on a sword for a short period of time, which is a dimensionality reduction blow to a warrior in the early stage of Body Refining.

What's more, there are talismans, flying swords and so on.

Zhou Chen was able to kill Qi You unexpectedly. In addition, Zhou Chen was a shooter with superb archery skills. Qi You was caught off guard and fell into the trap.

"Mr. Chen, you are responsible for posting notices and publicity!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Zhang County Lieutenant, please take care of the public security in the county. If Qi You is in the county, he must not be allowed to massacre ordinary people!"

"Yes, sir!"

After explaining the task, Chen Fan turned and left.

Chen Dao and Zhang Long also retreated.

"The evil cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining..."

Thinking about what the county magistrate said, Zhang Long couldn't help but think of Zhou Chen.

A superb archer is very threatening to a cultivator with low cultivation level.

pity.

Zhang Long shook his head. Zhou Chen was too weak. If he wanted to be a threat to the evil cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, he had to at least be successful in Skin Refining, that is, a warrior at the second level of Body Refining.

If Zhou Chen had reached the second level of body refinement, he, together with a group of city guards and constables, might be able to capture the evil cultivator at the third level of Qi refinement.

"Why think so much? It's still unknown whether we can find the other party!"

Zhang Long collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. He just hoped that the other party would not cause trouble in his territory.

…

Dahe Village.

Zhou Chen finally returned home after traveling a long way and carefully taking the journey.

Apart from Qi You's ambush, nothing else happened along the way.

"Brother Chen, you are finally back!"

Qin Hongyu, who was waiting anxiously at the door, saw Zhou Chen. Her nervous and worried eyes turned into joy, and she threw herself into Zhou Chen's arms like a young swallow returning to its nest.

"I'm back!"

Zhou Chen hugged Qin Hongyu's soft and perky buttocks, picked her up and walked into the house.

Qin Hongyu hugged Zhou Chen's neck, her long and straight legs wrapped around Zhou Chen's slender and strong waist, her eyes full of smiles.

Seeing Zhou Chen, her wandering heart finally settled down.

"Brother Chen, you must be hungry. I have prepared the meal and will be waiting for you to come back!"

"I wasn't hungry, but now that you mentioned it, I really am!"

Zhou Chen smiled and kissed her on the face.

Qin Hongyu's pretty face blushed slightly. She got off Zhou Chen and hurried to the kitchen to bring out the hot food.

Zhou Chen put down his bow and arrows, medicinal herbs, and the cloth and needlework he bought on the way, and had dinner with Qin Hongyu.

"Brother Chen, why did you buy so many medicinal herbs?"

Qin Hongyu looked worried and asked, "Are you sick?"

"Don't you know how strong I am? How could I be sick?"

"Look what you can do!"

Qin Hongyu couldn't help rolling her eyes and picked up a large piece of meat for Zhou Chen.

After dinner, Qin Hongyu cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash up.

Zhou Chen did not go to the kitchen to help her, but returned to the room to check the items in Qi You's storage bag.

Although his knowledge is limited, he has his "grandfather" with him.

Although this 'old man' is a beautiful female ghost and her strength and knowledge are not very good, it is enough for Zhou Chen to use at this stage.

Fengxia was a little confused when Zhou Chen first took her into the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, but after discovering that there was a different world inside the Fengyue Treasure Mirror and that it was helpful for her recovery from injuries and improvement of her cultivation, she completely fell in love with this place.

More satisfied with Zhou Chen.

certainly.

She also felt that her life soul imprint had been absorbed by this magic weapon. She wanted to break free, but it would be impossible unless she killed Zhou Chen and refined this magic weapon.

This is also the reason why Zhou Chen is not afraid of exposing the Mirror of Love and Lust.

Because even if Fengxia was caught, she would not be able to reveal the secret of the Mirror of Love and Lust, and Zhou Chen could even kill her with just a thought.

Under Fengxia's introduction, Zhou Chen counted the items in the storage bag.

A low-grade magical flying sword.

Several low-grade talismans.

Nine pieces of low-grade spirit stones.

A book called Changchun Gong, this is a basic technique that is very popular in the world of immortal cultivation. Many independent cultivators practice this and can cultivate it to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

A book called Netherworld Skill, which is the skill practiced by Qi You. It is at the same level as Changchun Skill, but it is more powerful and can be practiced faster. However, it is an evil skill.

Zhou Chen prepared to practice Changchun Gong.

"Fengxia, how do I test my spiritual roots? Do I have any?"

Zhou Chen was somewhat expectant. Although he had no spiritual roots, he probably could rely on Feng Yue Bao Jian to improve his cultivation. But what if he was a one in a million genius in cultivation?

"Master, detecting spiritual roots requires a special detection stone, but as long as I enter your body, I can also check your spiritual roots!"

"Then show me!"

Zhou Chen said immediately.

Fengxia's natal soul seal has been integrated into Fengyue Treasure Mirror, so Zhou Chen is not afraid that she will do something bad to him.

"Yes, Master!"

As Feng Xia finished speaking, Zhou Chen felt a stream of icy cool air entering his body, but the feeling was fleeting.

Fengxia returned to the Fengyue Baojian again, hesitating to speak:

"Master, you..."

"Just say it!"

"Master, you have a useless spiritual root of the five elements!"

“…”

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, could it be that he is the protagonist?

Many pig feet start like this.

In fact, the Five Elements spiritual roots are not useless spiritual roots. On the contrary, they are very comprehensive and powerful. They just consume a lot of resources and are slow to cultivate, so they are gradually regarded as useless spiritual roots.

"Master, in fact, the five elements spiritual roots can also be used to cultivate immortality, but... it's just a little slower and consumes a little more resources!"

Fengxia thought Zhou Chen was shocked, and hurriedly comforted him: "Besides, the master has extraordinary talent in martial arts. He will become a martial arts expert in the future, and he will be no weaker than a cultivator!

"I still need your comfort!"

Zhou Chen continued to check.

There is a book called Breath-Containing Technique, which can restrain the breath. The first level can make it impossible for people who are one realm higher to see through it, the second level can make it impossible for people who are two realms higher to detect it, and so on.

When the Breath-Containing Technique is practiced to the ninth level, people at a higher level cannot see through it.

For example, if one can perfect the Breath-Containing Technique at the Qi Refining Realm, then those at the Foundation Establishment Realm will be unable to see through it. Furthermore, the Breath-Containing Technique is applicable to both cultivating immortals and practicing martial arts.

"This Breath-Restraining Technique must be practiced!"
