Chapter 72: Evil Cultivation [First Order Request]
In the next few days, Lu Yi and Jiang Fan would practice in the palace and go out at night to try their luck and see if they would encounter the evil cultivator.
But unfortunately, I never encountered that evil cultivator.
As for Bai Yulong, he could be said to have been enjoying himself these past few days, hanging out in various brothels in the capital.
Lu Yi expressed his contempt, although he was also a little envious in his heart.
Similarly, disaster relief work is in full swing.
Starting from the next day, corrupt officials in the capital of Mohe State had their properties confiscated, and all their properties were used for disaster relief. For a time, officials in the capital were trembling with fear, fearing that they would be confiscated one day.
Various orders were also issued from the palace, all for disaster relief.
There was a legend among the refugees about the immortal master showing mercy to the victims of the disaster, and Lu Yi could hear it even when he was out shopping.
Lu Yi felt a little satisfied about this.
…………
Soon, eight days passed.
Late at night on this day, Lu Yi was practicing in his room when suddenly a breath fell in the palace and a female voice rang out: "Daoist Lu Yi, Daoist Jiang Fan! We have found the trace of that evil cultivator!"
Lu Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, Lu Yi's body disappeared from the spot, and the door was opened at some point.
Inside the palace courtyard, a middle-aged woman had an anxious look on her face. Her name was Qin Fang. She was one of the other two Qi training cultivators that Lu Yi had met before, besides Li Qing. Her cultivation level was at the sixth level of Qi training.
Judging from her age, she is not young anymore, but her talent is average. Like the other middle-aged cultivator, she obtained the immortal cultivation technique by chance and became a casual cultivator.
Just when Qin Fang was getting anxious, Lu Yi's body suddenly appeared at the spot, as if he had been there before. He asked, "Where is the person?"
Qin Fang was so frightened that her heart almost stopped.
When did this fellow Daoist Lu come over?! How come she didn't feel anything at all? Don't you know that scaring others can kill them?
Qin Fang quickly said, "It's in the north of the city. Lord Li has already gone there!"
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows. In the past few days, he and Senior Brother Jiang Fan had toured the capital. The central area of the capital was the royal palace, the east was the most prosperous commercial street, the west was where officials and wealthy businessmen lived, the south was where ordinary people lived, and the north of the city was where some low-class people lived. There were all kinds of gangs and it was very chaotic.
When Lu Yi and Jiang Fan first entered, some hooligans saw that they were well dressed and wanted to rob them...
While Qin Fang was talking, Jiang Fan also came out. With a serious look on his ordinary face, he said, "Junior Brother Lu, shall we go over there?"
Lu Yi nodded and said, "By the way, where is Senior Brother Bai Yulong?"
Jiang Fan's mouth twitched: "I just went to look for him, he was still in the brothel. The brothel is not far from the north of the city, it's on the way."
Lu Yi rubbed his forehead, looking speechless: "Take him with you."
Jiang Fan nodded.
Lu Yi looked at Qin Fang and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, go ahead. We'll be there soon."
Qin Fang nodded, turned and left.
Lu Yi and Jiang Fan suddenly turned into streams of light and disappeared into the palace.
There is no need to say much about Lu Yi's speed. Jiang Fan himself has a very good talent, otherwise it would be impossible for him to comprehend the foundation-building technique at the tenth level of Qi training, so his speed is naturally not slow.
Under the guidance of Jiang Fan, Lu Yi soon arrived at a brothel called Chunfeng Pavilion and found Bai Yulong.
When Bai Yulong heard that the evil cultivator had appeared, he hurried out of the room, even putting on his clothes as he walked. The two young ladies who followed him out had resentful looks on their faces, which made Lu Yi very embarrassed.
Jiang Fan, who was standing beside him, looked calm and said, "Let's go."
"Wait, wait until I put on my clothes!" Bai Yulong shouted while tightening his belt.
The three of them went out and moved on the roof at a very fast speed. Bai Yulong's speed was a little slower than Jiang Fan and Lu Yi.
Lu Yi glanced at Bai Yulong and teased, "Brother Bai Yulong, please speed up. Have you become weak from spending so much time hanging around these days?"
Bai Yulong's expression froze, and he said unconvincedly: "You two bastards are faster than me, right?! It's just a few days, what impact will it have on me?"
Jiang Fan also smiled and said, "Since Bai Yulong's legs are weak, let's not wait for him."
"Don't you understand what we're saying?!" Bai Yulong's face turned black.
Just then, a loud roar was heard.
Lu Yi and the other two's faces changed and they quickly looked up in the direction where the voice came from.
They were already in the west of the city. In the distance was a group of low thatched huts. One of the huts was torn apart, and spiritual energy spread and air waves flowed.
A stream of blood-red light suddenly rushed out and rushed towards the distance.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Fan's face changed: "Is it that evil cultivator?! Oh no, he's trying to run away!"
Bai Yulong frowned, "It's too far. Can we catch up? Li Qing couldn't stop him!"
They were still quite some distance away from the evil cultivator.
Just as the two were talking, they saw a flash of white light passing by, followed by a strong wind and a wisp of cloud.
Lu Yi's body was entangled in clouds. In a few breaths, he was far ahead of them and rushed towards the blood-colored light.
Seeing Lu Yi's speed, Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong both widened their eyes.
"Is it Junior Brother Lu?! This speed... isn't it too fast?!" Bai Yulong exclaimed.
Jiang Fan beside him was also astonished: "With such a speed, ordinary cultivators at the second or third level of foundation building may not be as fast as him... No wonder Junior Brother Lu has always been ranked first on the Qi Training Trial Ranking."
…………
In the distance, blood was oozing from the corner of Li Qing's mouth. Looking at the bloody light in the distance, his face looked grim.
After the last incident, the evil cultivator became much more alert. He was discovered not long after he arrived, and his injuries had not yet healed, so he was unable to stop the evil cultivator.
"Damn it, he's going to run away!" The middle-aged man next to him was lying on the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he got up with difficulty.
At this moment, they saw Lu Yi flash by, entangled in the white clouds, chasing after the blood-colored light, and his speed was much faster than that of the blood-colored light.
Li Qing: “???”
Middle-aged man: “???”
The two of them stared at Lu Yi disappearing in silence.
They looked at each other, both of them were a little confused.
The middle-aged man said uncertainly: "...I think I saw Fellow Daoist Lu just now? Is that Fellow Daoist Lu?"
Li Qing also looked incredulous: "Okay, it seems so? It's Senior Brother Lu Yi. But...how can he be so fast?! I have met several seniors in the foundation building stage, and their speed seems to be not as fast as his."
The middle-aged man was shocked: "Brother Lu, it seems that you are only at the tenth level of Qi training?! This speed is faster than that of a foundation-building cultivator?! How is it possible??"
The two looked at each other, and then Li Qing said, "Go and take a look!"
The two of them immediately ran towards the direction of the bloody light.
In front, Lu Yi practiced the Baiyun Steps to the limit of the Guizhen Realm. When he was only at the eighth level of Qi Training, he could already compete in speed with cultivators at around the third level of Foundation Establishment. Now that Lu Yi's cultivation has reached the tenth level of Qi Training, one can imagine how fast he is now.
The speed of the blood-colored light was not that fast, just the speed of a tenth-level Qi training practitioner. With Lu Yi's speed, the distance between them was visibly shortened.
Soon, Lu Yi surpassed the evil cultivator and landed on a low shed, blocking him.
Lu Yi looked at the evil cultivator, who was a middle-aged man wearing a black night suit.
He had a sinister expression, his eyes were faintly flashing with blood, and his whole body exuded a strong smell of blood.
Seeing Lu Yi standing in front of him, the evil cultivator's face changed and he stopped immediately.
He stared at Lu Yi, his voice hoarse: "Who are you?! This is none of your business, right?"
Lu Yi smiled slightly: "The inner disciples of Baiyun Sect are here to kill you."
Hearing Lu Yi's words, the evil cultivator's face changed, and without saying a word, blood mist gushed out from his body, his aura soared, and he fled in another direction.
However, even though this evil cultivator seemed to have used some evil magic and his speed had greatly increased, in Lu Yi's eyes, it was still nothing special.
He took a step forward and his body disappeared from the spot. When he appeared again, he was already beside the evil cultivator.
A Qingling sword appeared in his hand, and he swung the sword casually. A flash of sword light passed by, and the body of the evil cultivator was instantly split into two. Blood gushed out, and the two halves of the body fell heavily on the dirty ground.
Lu Yi looked at the corpse on the ground and nodded after making sure that there was no breath.
Mission accomplished, pretty easy, right?
It's not just the sect's mission. After Lu Yi accepted the sect's mission, he naturally also assigned tasks to himself.
【Task】
Kill the evil cultivator in the capital of Mohe (completed) Reward: 2 drops of Millennium Spirit Milk
Do you want to receive the reward: Yes/No
Compared with ordinary tasks, this reward is quite generous. After all, the opponent is just an ordinary evil cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training.
Even if Lu Yi completes his monthly mission in the Trial Tower, he can only obtain the Millennium Spirit Milk by defeating the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Lu Yi happily received the reward and placed it in his space ring.
Afterwards, Lu Yi checked the corpse and took out a space ring from it.
He checked the space ring and found only a few bottles of mid-grade Qi Condensation Pills and a few bottles of pills with pungent smells, which were probably poisons or something like that.
In addition, there are some blood crystals.
This blood-colored crystal contained a violent and rich spiritual energy, and it was probably created by this evil cultivator using evil methods.
For ordinary cultivators, this blood-colored crystal is stronger than spirit stones and ordinary elixirs.
But it's useless to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi planned to destroy this thing. Judging from the fact that this evil cultivator had kidnapped people to practice cultivation before, these blood-colored crystals might have been made by sacrificing those missing people.
A bit unscrupulous.
Lu Yi felt that it would be more appropriate to destroy it.
Apart from these, this evil cultivator only had a few low-grade spirit stones, and could be said to be extremely poor.
Lu Yi was speechless. He had never seen such a poor cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training.
Fortunately, there are mission rewards.
As soon as Lu Yi finished checking the space ring, he felt several auras coming from behind him.
He turned around and saw Li Qing and the middle-aged monk running towards him quickly. Further away, Jiang Fan, Bai Yulong and Qin Fang were also rushing towards them.
Li Qing and the middle-aged monk came to Lu Yi. They took a look at the corpse on the ground, their pupils contracted, and they showed shock.
Li Qing bowed to Lu Yi, and said with a trace of awe in his eyes: "Brother Lu Yi is amazingly powerful. That evil cultivator is quite powerful, but he couldn't block your sword!"
When he came over from a distance, Li Qing saw Lu Yi kill the evil cultivator with one sword.
You know, this evil cultivator is even stronger than Li Qing! The middle-aged cultivator next to him was also in awe. Lu Yi was only at the tenth level of Qi training, but his strength was so terrifying.
"Daoyou Lu Yi is indeed a great disciple of Baiyun Sect. I admire him."
Lu Yi smiled, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and said, "Junior Brother Li, take a closer look to see if it is this evil cultivator."
Li Qing nodded, and together with the middle-aged cultivator, he carefully examined the body of the evil cultivator.
Afterwards, Li Qing came to Lu Yi and nodded, saying, "It is this beast!"
Lu Yi smiled: "In this case, the mission is completed."
Lu Yi complained in his heart that the mission was really time-consuming. He had been waiting here for eight days. It took a week to get here and another week to go back. It took more than half a month to go back and forth.
Li Qing smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Senior Brother Lu."
While the three were communicating, Qin Fang, Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong also came over.
Seeing the corpse on the ground, Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong both breathed a sigh of relief.
If I let this evil cultivator run away, I don’t know how long I will have to wait before I can meet him again.
For them, it takes a lot of time to wait.
Of course, Lu Yi suspected that Bai Yulong would be very happy even if he stayed a little longer.
After all, he could continue to visit brothels.
After they confirmed that it was this evil cultivator, they returned to the palace.
…………
Mohe State is located in a deep mountain area hundreds of kilometers away from the capital.
There is a huge cave deep in the mountains. In the center of the cave is a huge pool of blood. The blood in the pool is boiling. There are faint screams coming from the blood pool, like the unwillingness of wronged souls.
At this moment, the blood pool exploded and a middle-aged man with a cold face rushed out. His expression was gloomy and angry, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Damn it! My blood puppet! I don't care if you are a disciple of Baiyun Sect or not, you are just at the Qi training stage!"
There was mad murderous intent in his eyes, blood was flowing, and the blood pool in front of him was boiling even more violently.
…………
The next morning, at the gate of the capital city.
Mohe State's King Mo Ling, several princes and ministers, as well as Li Qing and others were all at the city gate at this moment, seeing Lu Yi and the other two off. The officer who had greeted them before was not there. Lu Yi understood that he seemed to have been beheaded for corruption.
Now that the mission was completed, Lu Yi and the other two naturally planned to return to the sect to practice.
Mo Ling looked at Lu Yi, cupped his hands and said gratefully: "Thank you three immortal masters for bringing that evil cultivator to justice!"
Lu Yi smiled: "This is what we should do."
Then, he glanced at Mo Ling and said, "You have done a good job in disaster relief these days."
As he spoke, a porcelain bottle appeared in Lu Yi's hand and he threw it to Mo Ling.
"This is a reward. Keep up the good work. Next time I come here, if I see the people of Mohe living and working in peace and contentment, the reward will be better than this."
These days, the King of Mohe has done a pretty good job in disaster relief. Lu Yi has seen that the number of refugees has decreased a lot.
And he really had to go back to the sect. He couldn't stay here any longer just for a mission.
Mo Ling took the porcelain bottle in a hurry, and when he heard Lu Yi's words, his eyes were full of surprise.
Better than three top-grade Qi Condensation Pills?! What kind of good thing is that?
He nodded quickly and said with a firm face: "The king must treat the people well! Let them live a good life!"
Lu Yi nodded, said goodbye to Li Qing and the others, then rode away on the unicorn horse with Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong.
On the way, Bai Yulong reluctantly turned his head to look at the capital and sighed, "Alas, it's a pity for those girls. I don't know when I will see them next time."
Jiang Fan glanced at Bai Yulong and chuckled, "If you don't want to leave, you can stay. Junior Brother Lu and I will go back."
Bai Yulong's face straightened, and he said, "The girl is just a diversion. Climbing the immortal road is the right way for cultivators like us! I, Bai Yulong, will definitely become a powerful cultivator at the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul stage in the future!"
Lu Yi took a look and did not despise Bai Yulong, but looked at his own panel.
The disaster relief mission was completed, and he planned to see what the reward was.
【Task】
The rewards for Mohe State Disaster Relief (Completed) depend on the extent of the disaster relief.
Rewards: Natural treasures such as colored glaze jade, natural treasures such as golden azure stone, and 20 drops of thousand-year-old spiritual milk.
Do you want to receive the reward: Yes/No
Lu Yi looked at the rewards on the panel and felt a little surprised.
The rewards are great.
I only spent three top-grade Qi Condensation Pills, but got so many good things in return. This deal is a huge profit.
Both colored glaze jade and golden blue stone are rare treasures from heaven and earth. They can be used as the main materials for treasure weapons, or they can be melted into magical weapons to improve their levels.
However, this requires weapon refining skills, and Lu Yi knows nothing about weapon refining techniques. When the time comes, he can give these materials to the weapon refining elders in the sect and ask them to help create a treasure.
As for the thousand-year-old spiritual milk, there is no need to say more, there are a total of 20 drops. Adding up, Lu Yi has more than 50 drops of thousand-year-old spiritual milk.
Lu Yi has been using the Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk for cultivation until now. As his cultivation level improves, the demand for the Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk has also increased. If this continues, perhaps the Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk will not be enough, and he will have to use the Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk for cultivation.
Not only that, the real value of the Centennial Spirit Milk is not to be used for cultivation, but to improve talents.
Lu Yi used the Hundred Years Spiritual Milk to practice and improved his talent for practice a lot. However, now he can no longer use the Hundred Years Spiritual Milk to continue to improve his talent. It has reached a limit.
Perhaps, practicing with the Millennium Spiritual Milk and continuing to improve one's talent is the right way.
I can take some of the remaining Hundred Years Spirit Milk and give it to Old Lu and Mom when I go back, so as to improve their talents.
Lu Yi put all the rewards into the space ring, chatted and laughed with Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan, and moved towards the sect.
…………
One day later, late at night.
Lu Yi and the other two settled down in a wasteland. Bai Yulong picked up some wood and lit a bonfire. Then he and Jiang Fan looked at Lu Yi expectantly.
Seeing the two people's expectant looks, Lu Yi smiled helplessly and said, "Let's have some tiger bone and ginseng soup."
Bai Yulong chuckled, full of joy: "Junior Brother Lu, I'm relying on this soup of yours to survive! The soup I drank in the palace these days tastes so good that it's hard to describe."
Jiang Fan also swallowed his saliva, which was rare, and nodded, "Junior Brother Lu's talent for cultivation is amazing, but I didn't expect that his talent for cooking spiritual food is far beyond that of ordinary people. It's only been a few months, and Junior Brother Lu's tiger bone spiritual ginseng soup has already had such an effect."
Lu Yi smiled: "It's a pity that I only know this kind of spiritual food recipe now. If I had more, I should be able to cook different spiritual foods."
As he said that, Lu Yi took out some tiger bone and ginseng soup and handed it to the two of them.
"This one is already quite good. After all, it can increase the speed of body refining."
"Bai Yulong is right. My body-refining technique has now achieved some success, and my junior brother's soup has played a big role in this." Jiang Fan nodded.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Drink it while it's hot."
The two of them were not polite. During this period of time, Lu Yi had given them special treatment from time to time. They were grateful and kept it in mind. They immediately lowered their heads and started drinking.
At this moment, Lu Yi paused and looked to his left.
There was a deep night in that direction, with stars shining, and the starlight illuminated the barren ground.
Jiang Fan noticed Lu Yi's expression, frowned slightly, and said, "Junior brother, what's wrong?"
Lu Yi's expression slowly darkened, and he said, "Someone is coming."
Hearing this, Bai Yulong stopped drinking the soup and looked in the direction Lu Yi was looking.
At this moment, a violent aura came from a distance and approached them at an extremely fast speed.
The aura was so powerful that Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong's faces changed drastically, and even Lu Yi frowned.
Damn, I can't be so unlucky, right? I run into a big guy when I go out to do a mission? And judging from the aura, it seems to be an evil cultivator, and it may even come from them.
Jiang Fan shouted in a low voice: "Run!"
The three of them instantly turned into streams of light and ran towards the distance.
However, the speed of the violent aura was much faster than theirs. In a short time, a blood-red light flashed by and landed in front of the three people.
The three of them stopped immediately and looked at the person who appeared warily.
He was a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression. He was wearing a blood-red robe and had an extremely strong smell of blood all over his body.
The familiar smell of blood made Lu Yi think of the evil cultivator from the Mohe Kingdom.
It's very similar to the smell of blood, but stronger.
Lu Yi felt numb all over.
Didn't they say that the evil cultivator was just an ordinary evil cultivator? !
What's wrong with this guy?
Bai Yulong beside him looked pale, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Peak of foundation building?!"
Jiang Fan also frowned, his face grim: "This guy's aura is exactly the same as that evil cultivator..."
The middle-aged man glanced at the three people, and a sneer appeared on his gloomy face: "Run? You keep running?!"
Bai Yulong said, "Senior, we are the inner disciples of Baiyun Sect. Our masters and elders are all powerful people in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms. If you do anything to us, our elders will definitely not let you go!"
The middle-aged man said quietly, "So what if it's the Baiyun Sect? As long as it's done cleanly, who would know it was me?"
Blood and Qi flowed around his body, and his Qi blocked the space of the three people. He slowly said, "Who told you to meddle in other people's business? Do you know how difficult it is to make a blood puppet? It took me 230 years to make three blood puppets. How dare you kill my blood puppets?!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took a step forward, his aura became stronger. Jiang Fan's face changed, and a talisman appeared in his hand. Seeing this, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and continued slowly: "Do you know that if I lose a blood puppet, the time it takes for me to collect blood essence and break through the golden elixir will be delayed for a long time..."
"How dare you, three mere Qi training cultivators, cause me such a loss?! Regardless of whether you are Baiyun Sect disciples or not, you will die today!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and grabbed the three people. A blood mist flowed and rushed towards the three people. Jiang Fan's face changed, and the talisman in his hand unfolded, which turned into a water curtain that wrapped the three people.
boom!!
The blood mist collided with the water curtain, making a roar, but the water curtain fluctuated and blocked it.
Jiang Fan said, "This water curtain talisman can't hold out for long!"
Bai Yulong looked unhappy and asked, "What should we do?"
Only Lu Yi had a calm expression, and was even a little confused inside.
He discovered a serious problem.
The cultivator in front of him who was at the peak of the foundation building stage should be very strong, but he didn't feel any threat from him at all? What the hell?
Is he so strong now? Can he fight against a cultivator at the peak of foundation building? Lu Yi was a little unconfident. Was he too arrogant?
