Chapter 73 The Power of a Sword [First Order]
but……
Lu Yi glanced at Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong beside him. To be honest, he was not at all nervous when facing the foundation-building cultivators.
Putting aside other things, just the Purple Jade Bell and the Spirit Jade Mirror are enough to break the evil cultivator's defense even if he fights till the end of time.
He was completely invincible.
What's more, he still has the White Jade Boat and the Thousand Mile Talisman. Even if he can't defeat the evil cultivator, it is impossible for him to stay if he wants to leave.
The problem is Senior Brother Jiang Fan and Senior Brother Bai Yulong. It would be better not to use these trump cards of mine in front of them, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
Lu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Two senior brothers, I have a trump card from the peak master that can stop this cultivator. I will stop them later, and you go first."
Hearing this, Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan shook their heads at the same time.
"How can that be possible?! Junior Brother Lu, how can we leave you here alone?"
"That's right, Junior Brother Lu, you not only sparred with us, but also gave us Tiger Bone Spiritual Ginseng Soup. You were so kind to us, how could we be ungrateful?! No! Absolutely not! How could I, Jiang Fan, be that kind of person?! I also have a few things in my hand that can hold this guy off for a while!"
The two men looked at Lu Yi with firm expressions.
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Aren't these two brothers too loyal? But it would be most convenient for me if you guys leave...
Just as Lu Yi was about to speak, he heard the middle-aged evil cultivator sneer, "Leave? None of you can leave!"
He flipped his hand and a blood-red flag appeared in his hand. The flag fell to the ground and a thick blood mist appeared, covering the four people. There were screams coming from the blood mist. Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong felt a little dizzy even in the blood mist.
Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong's expressions changed drastically at the same time.
“Trapped!”
"what to do?!"
The evil foundation-building cultivator snorted coldly and pinched some magic spells in his hands. Blood-colored streams of light shot out from the blood mist towards the water curtain and landed on it, with a continuous roaring sound.
The water curtain kept shaking and it seemed that it would break soon.
Seeing this, Lu Yi felt a little helpless.
It seems that it is not convenient for the two senior brothers to leave now.
He said to himself, "I will kill the evil cultivator in front of me."
【Task】
Kill the evil cultivator at the tenth level of foundation building (0/1)
Reward: Basic array solution Accept: Yes/No
Lu Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that this was another immortal cultivation skill? Lu Yi had previously acquired immortal cultivation skills such as spiritual food cooking and spiritual wine brewing.
However, these two skills are relatively niche, but the formation is different. It can be said to be a very popular and practical skill in cultivating immortals.
Forging magic weapons requires formations, constructing large formations requires formations, and even some ancient ruins have their own formations. If you want to enter the ruins to obtain treasure resources, you also need to master certain knowledge of formations.
That’s a good reward.
Lu Yi happily accepted the task.
"Junior Brother Lu, it's already this late, why are you still laughing?" Bai Yulong, who was standing next to him, looked a little pale. Seeing Lu Yi's happy expression, he shouted.
The evil cultivator glanced at Lu Yi and sneered, "You don't know how to live or die!"
At the same time, he exerted more strength in his hands, and the water curtain dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan's face turned cold. He took out another talisman and said in a voice transmission: "The one in my hand is the Ghost Water Sword Talisman, which is as powerful as the peak of foundation building. When the water curtain is broken, I will use this talisman, and then we can run together!"
Bai Yulong also quickly transmitted his message: "I still have a peak foundation building storm talisman in my hand, which can trap this bastard for a short time! We will use it together later! Junior Brother Lu, you are fast, don't worry about us, just run first!"
Jiang Fan nodded slightly and said in a voice transmission: "Bai Yulong is right!"
Hearing this, Lu Yi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, my two brothers. Just keep the talisman. You won't need it."
Hearing this, Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan were both stunned and looked at Lu Yi in confusion.
Lu Yi didn't reply either.
He flipped his hand, and the Qingling Sword appeared in his hand, and terrifying spiritual energy slowly emerged.
It just so happened that he had never tried how strong he was when he gave it his all, so now he could give it a try.
The Baiyun Qi-inducing Technique at the extreme level began to work. The liquefied spiritual energy surged in the body like a raging wave, and the spiritual pressure slowly dissipated, causing Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan's faces to change drastically.
They looked at Lu Yi in disbelief, with the hair on their backs standing up.
"What's with this aura?"
"Lu, Lu Junior Brother?"
They simply couldn't believe that this extremely terrifying aura was actually emanating from Junior Brother Lu in front of them.
This spiritual pressure, even if not as strong as that of the evil cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage, is not far behind.
Lu Yi did not reply. He took a step forward and instantly appeared outside the water curtain. He swung the sword in his hand and the extremely sharp sword intent carried with it the thick clouds, tearing through the blood mist and slashing towards the evil cultivator.
The evil cultivator opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of horror.
How could a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training have such terrifying swordsmanship?
He even felt the breath of death from that sword technique.
The evil cultivator performed some magic in his hands, and the blood-colored flag turned into a stream of light and fell into his hands. The rich blood-colored light flowed towards the clouds.
boom!!
A roar sounded, and the terrifying spiritual energy aftermath spread out in all directions over a range of hundreds of meters.
The clouds tore through the blood mist with overwhelming force and rushed towards the evil cultivator.
The evil cultivator's face changed drastically, his body turned into a streak of blood light and flew into the air, fleeing directly into the distance.
This cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training is too weird, is that the sword intent?! And the power of that magic is totally unreasonable!
Fortunately, this cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training was unable to fly.
The evil cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, thunder sounded. He saw a flash of lightning out of the corner of his eye, and saw Lu Yi stepping on white clouds, with thunder flowing around his body, catching up with him at an extremely fast speed.
This is impossible!!!
The artistic conception of thunder?! And why can this Qi training monk fly on clouds?!
Magical power? ?
The evil cultivator's mind was full of question marks. Is he still a Qigong cultivator?! He regretted it so much that he would not have come if he had known this earlier.
Seeing Lu Yi catching up, the evil cultivator could only roar, waving the blood-red flag in his hand, and letting his spiritual energy flow wildly, trying to resist Lu Yi.
Lu Yi's expression remained unchanged, and flashes of lightning flashed on the Qingling Sword, with extremely sharp sword intent also flowing.
The artistic conception of thunder, the sword intent, the Baiyun sword technique at the extreme level, plus the top-grade magic weapon Qingling Sword that was fully activated. Lu Yi's attack was so powerful that the evil cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage felt his scalp numb and his whole body went cold.
A hundred-meter-long white sword light streaked across the sky, with a hint of thunder on it, illuminating the night sky.
The sword light instantly tore through the blood mist and swallowed up the evil cultivator. It then fell to the ground, creating a crack hundreds of meters long. Lightning arcs flickered at the edge of the crack, and a sharp sword intent emanated.
In the sky, the bloody corpse of the middle-aged evil cultivator slowly fell from the air, and the blood-colored flag in his hand also fell to the side, and the spiritual light on it became extremely dim.
Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong, who were not far away, stared blankly at the sword marks on the ground and the corpse of the middle-aged evil cultivator beside them. The two seemed to be petrified.
The two looked at the figure in the sky with white clouds under their feet and thunder wrapped around their bodies, then looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
"This is... Junior Brother Lu? Is it really Junior Brother Lu?" Bai Yulong looked doubtful about his life.
Jiang Fan's mouth twitched, and he looked at Lu Yi's back, a little uncertain: "... should be it?"
The two found it hard to understand why Lu Yi was so strong. It was not reasonable at all.
Lu Yi landed in front of the evil cultivator from the air, exhaled slightly, and felt a little excited.
His strength is still good enough. Even the cultivators at the peak of the foundation building stage could not block his sword.
But soon, Lu Yi calmed down again.
At first glance, this evil cultivator is just an ordinary cultivator, not a genius. He can kill an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage with one sword. However, if he meets a genius like that, he may not be their opponent.
Moreover... encountering a cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage this time was completely unexpected.
If possible, Lu Yi really hopes that his opponent will always be the evil cultivator who was at the tenth level of Qi training.
Don't get too arrogant!
What if I become arrogant and run into a Jindan cultivator in the future? What if I run into a stronger cultivator? Wouldn't that be the end of me?
I'm still weak!
Lu Yi was alert.
Then he began to search through the evil cultivator's body and soon found the evil cultivator's space ring.
At the same time, Lu Yi also picked up the bloody flag.
The blood-red flag is obviously a magic weapon. It is quite powerful and its level should not be too low. Lu Yi will certainly not let it go.
Then Lu Yi looked at the evil cultivator's space ring.
That space ring was bigger than his, and there were a lot of things inside. Lu Yi took a rough look and found quite a few low-grade spirit stones, a large pile of blood-colored crystals, and some bottles and jars, which were probably elixirs or something like that. In the corner, Lu Yi also found a blood-colored token.
He took out the token and looked at it. The words "Blood Spirit" were engraved on it.
Lu Yi's pupils shrank slightly.
The Blood Spirit Cult's token? This evil cultivator is from the Blood Spirit Cult?! No wonder there are so many blood essences.
Like the White Cloud Sect, the Blood Spirit Sect is a large sect in Qingzhou. Their territories are right next to each other, and frictions arise from time to time.
However, unlike the Baiyun Sect, the Blood Spirit Sect is a ten-on-ten demon sect, and the sect's internal skills are centered around the devouring of essence and blood.
The monks of the Blood Spirit Cult are all bloodthirsty and murderous guys, and the two sides can be said to be in constant friction.
Lu Yi frowned and looked unhappy.
The cultivators of the Blood Spirit Sect were actually practicing evil skills in an area so close to the Baiyun Sect. They really didn't take the Baiyun Sect seriously!
Lu Yi took a deep breath, put away the blood-colored token, and planned to go back and report the situation.
While Lu Yi was thinking, Bai Yulong's voice sounded from behind him.
"Junior Brother Lu?"
Lu Yi came back to his senses and turned to look behind him, and saw Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan looking at him in shock.
Jiang Fan glanced at the corpse on the ground and said in shock: "Junior Brother Lu, how come you are so strong?"
Lu Yi felt helpless.
So he is afraid of this situation.
But fortunately, he still has a backup plan.
Lu Yi smiled slightly and started to use the "Forget Dust Technique".
Almost instantly, Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong were in a trance for a moment, feeling sleepy, and then they both fell asleep.
Lu Yi picked up the two men, one in each hand, and put them back on the one-horned spirit horse. He also climbed on the horse and led them towards the sect.
…………
The next morning, in the forest between the mountains.
Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong slowly woke up on the unicorn spirit horse. They both sat up alertly and looked around.
Jiang Fan's spiritual energy flowed around him, and his brows were furrowed. "What's going on? Where are we?"
Lu Yi turned around and smiled at the two of them in surprise: "Two senior brothers, are you awake?"
Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong's expressions softened a little when they saw Lu Yi.
"Junior Brother Lu? What's going on? Why did we faint?" Bai Yulong looked confused.
Lu Yi sighed and said, "Last night we encountered an evil cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage. The two brothers were accidentally knocked unconscious. Fortunately, a very powerful senior passed by and killed the evil cultivator. We escaped. After that, I took the two brothers away from that dangerous place."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong were stunned for a moment, and then some fragments of memory came to their minds.
That was the scene of the evil middle-aged cultivator from the Blood Spirit Sect standing in front of the three people.
Lu Yi did not forget all the memories of Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan, otherwise he would not be able to find a reason to explain why the two of them fainted inexplicably.
Half truths are easier to believe.
Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong's expressions changed. Jiang Fan asked, "That evil cultivator is dead?!"
Lu Yi nodded: "Yeah."
He also took out the space ring: "The senior who passed by was very powerful. He killed the evil cultivator with a sword and then left. He didn't even take the evil cultivator's space ring. I took it."
As he spoke, Lu Yi also took out the blood-colored token and said, "I looked at the evil cultivator's space ring and found this."
When they saw the words "Blood Spirit" on the token, Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan's faces changed.
"Is that evil cultivator a member of the Blood Spirit Cult?!"
Lu Yi nodded: "Yeah."
"Hmph! The people from the Blood Spirit Cult are damnable! They actually came to our Baiyun Sect's territory to practice evil skills!" Bai Yulong frowned.
Jiang Fan also looked unhappy.
Lu Yi said, "We will report this token to the Office of Affairs after we return to the inner gate."
Bai Yulong said coldly: "Humph, I didn't expect that the evil cultivator from the Mohe Kingdom was actually a disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect. Fortunately, we were lucky in this mission, otherwise something bad would have happened."
Jiang Fan smiled helplessly: "The Baiyun Sect deals with a lot of evil cultivators every year, and there are basically no problems. It's just that we are unlucky that we encountered this incident."
Lu Yi and Bai Yulong were speechless. Their luck was indeed not good. They just picked a random mission and it turned out to be related to an evil cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage.
It's such bad luck.
"Forget it, don't think about it, let's go back." Lu Yi shook his head and said.
Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong also nodded.
The three of them continued on their journey back.
…………
A week later, Lu Yi and the other two returned to the sect.
When they were at the outer gate, Lu Yi smiled and said to Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan: "Two senior brothers, I plan to go home first, you go back to the inner gate first."
Hearing this, Bai Yulong sighed: "The New Year is coming, and I haven't been home for the New Year for several years."
Jiang Fan looked far away, thinking of something, and said, "Junior Brother Lu Yi is enviable, his family is in Baiyun Sect."
The two said goodbye to Lu Yi and returned to the inner gate first.
Lu Yi rode on the one-horned spirit horse and ran towards Bailing Peak.
Although the New Year is approaching, the concept of time for cultivators is different from that of ordinary people. Moreover, due to years of hard practice, their personalities are more aloof. There is not much New Year atmosphere on the mountain. Only a few families hang up red lanterns and other items as a token of their respect.
Lu Yi quickly returned to Bailing Peak and arrived at the door of his home.
There were also red lanterns hanging at the door of the house, but other than that, everything was no different from usual.
Lu Yi dismounted, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Old Lu, Mom, your son is back!"
Tap, tap, tap! Lu Yi heard hurried footsteps coming from inside the door, and then the door opened, and Wang Siqi appeared inside.
Her face was full of surprise. She hugged Lu Yi and said with a smile, "Yi Er, why are you back?"
Lu Yi broke free from Wang Siqi's arms. He was already an adult, but he felt uncomfortable being hugged by his mother.
He smiled and said, "I just came back from completing a sect mission, and since it's Chinese New Year, I decided to come back and spend the New Year with you, mom."
Wang Siqi's face was filled with joy, and she said with a smile: "You must be exhausted from running around on the sect's missions. Come in and rest first!"
Lu Yi entered the courtyard, looked around, and asked, "Where's Old Lu?"
"There are some things going on in the office. Your father is still busy and will be back soon."
"oh."
Lu Yi nodded and asked no more questions.
Afterwards, Wang Siqi asked Lu Yi to go back to the house to rest first, and she asked Bai Lingling to buy some vegetables, planning to cook a delicious meal.
Lu Yi returned to his room. The furnishings in the room were unchanged from before he left. The room was very clean, and it was obvious that someone cleaned it every day.
After being away for half a year, Lu Yi still felt very familiar when he came back.
He went straight to bed, rested happily and waited for dinner.
Soon, Lu Gaoyang's voice rang out in the courtyard: "I'm back... Hmm? Madam, what good news did you encounter today? Why are you so happy?"
Wang Siqi's voice rang out: "Yier is back."
"That kid is back?" Lu Gaoyang's voice rose a few notches, and then Lu Yi heard a knock on the door.
He got up reluctantly, opened the door, and saw Lu Gaoyang standing outside.
He grinned and said, "Old Lu, long time no see."
Lu Gaoyang's face darkened: "You are so disrespectful... Why did you come back so suddenly? Why don't you stay in the inner sect to practice well?"
"I just finished my sect mission, and the New Year is coming soon, so I came back to spend it with you."
Hearing this, Lu Gaoyang also smiled: "It's rare for you to come back. I really should leave after the New Year."
At this time, Wang Siqi came over and glared at Lu Gaoyang: "Don't disturb Yi'er's rest, he just came back from outside! If you have nothing to do, just deal with those natural treasures."
Having said that, Wang Siqi pulled Lu Gaoyang away.
Lu Yi looked at the two people's backs and felt warm in his heart. Home was still more comfortable.
In the evening, Wang Siqi prepared a large table of dishes.
Although Lu Yi is now able to make spiritual food by himself, and the level is not low, he still eats it with relish.
Wang Siqi and Lu Gaoyang kept looking at Lu Yi with smiles on their faces.
Lu Yi was so annoyed by being looked at that he asked, "Old Lu, Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"
Wang Siqi said cheerfully, "Your story has spread all over the outer sect."
Lu Yi was a little confused: "My business? What do I have to worry about?"
"You joined Lingluo Peak and became the registered disciple of Lingluo Peak Master, and also became the first on the Qi Training Trial List. It's such a big thing, what else are you asking us about?" Lu Gaoyang stared at Lu Yi with his eyes wide open.
Lu Yi suddenly realized: "So that's what happened..."
This is really not a big deal for him, after all, he is used to it.
Lu Gaoyang was speechless. Is this kid trying to show off?
At this time, Lu Yi smiled and said, "But I do have something."
Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi were a little curious.
"What's up?"
Lu Yi’s spiritual energy flowed and he closed the door. Then the spiritual energy surged, sealing and soundproofing the room.
When Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi saw Lu Yi using his spiritual energy with ease, their pupils contracted and they looked frightened.
The way this person uses spiritual energy is more powerful than theirs!
This is their son! The two were filled with pride and satisfaction, but also with curiosity.
"Yi Er, what are you so cautious about?"
Lu Yi said, "I got a little chance when I went out this time."
Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi looked at each other.
Lu Gaoyang's expression became serious: "What opportunity?"
"Some Centennial Milk."
Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi's eyes widened immediately.
"Hundred-year-old spiritual milk?!"
The two were full of surprise. Wang Siqi looked at Lu Yi and smiled, "Not bad, not bad. Yi'er, you don't have an outstanding talent for cultivation. You can get to this point just by relying on your comprehension. Now that you have the Hundred Years Spiritual Milk, your talent can also be improved. You will definitely be more extraordinary in the future!"
Lu Gaoyang also nodded repeatedly: "You are lucky, you can get the Hundred Years Spiritual Milk, which is just right for you! But the Hundred Years Spiritual Milk is precious, don't tell others, or they will be coveted by others."
As parents, they naturally hope that Lu Yi can have better resources.
Seeing the two talking to themselves, Lu Yi felt helpless. He said, "We got a lot of Hundred Years Spiritual Milk this time. I can't use it all by myself. I plan to give some to Old Lu and Mom."
Hearing this, Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi were stunned.
The two looked at each other, and Lu Gaoyang frowned and said, "Nonsense! Such a precious thing, of course you should use it first! Improving your cultivation talent is the real thing!"
No, the Hundred Years Spiritual Milk can no longer improve my cultivation talent...
Lu Yi complained in his heart, and said faintly: "The Hundred Years of Spiritual Milk I obtained is almost as much as a small pool."
Lu Gaoyang: “???”
Wang Siqi: “???”
The atmosphere was silent, and the two of them stared with wide eyes, looking confused.
"How much did you say?" Lu Gaoyang asked, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
"A small pool, there should be about a few thousand drops, right?" Lu Yi said.
Honestly speaking, as long as he is willing to spend time to earn task rewards, he could get tens of thousands of drops, not to mention a few thousand.
Hearing Lu Yi's confirmation, Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi's pupils contracted and they both took a deep breath.
"There are so many?!" Wang Siqi was extremely shocked.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Even if the Hundred Years Spiritual Milk can improve your cultivation talent, it is not unlimited. If it is improved to the limit, it would be a waste to use the Hundred Years Spiritual Milk again. As for cultivation resources, I have no shortage of them. Master Lingluo Peak gave me unlimited cultivation resources. So it is best to keep some of this Hundred Years Spiritual Milk for you two to use. You are still young. If your cultivation talent is improved, it will not be a problem to reach the Golden Core stage. Maybe you can even reach the Nascent Soul stage if you work hard."
Lu Yi's words made Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi's eyes flicker, and they were somewhat interested.
If possible, who would be willing to waste two hundred years in the foundation-building stage and die? Now that they have such an opportunity, they are naturally tempted.
Wang Siqi was still a little worried and asked, "Yier, did you really get so much Hundred Years Spiritual Milk? You are not lying to us, are you?"
Lu Yi said seriously: "Am I that kind of person? Mom, have you ever seen me lie to you?"
Wang Siqi thought about it carefully and realized that Lu Yi had been obedient and sensible since he was a child, and he really had never caused them any worry.
Wang Siqi and Lu Gaoyang looked at each other, and then Lu Gaoyang smiled and said, "In that case, we two won't be polite to you."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "How can parents and children be polite to each other?"
So he took out the remaining Hundred Years Spirit Milk and gave it to Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi, and told them not to tell anyone.
Of course, there was no need for Lu Yi to remind them of this. There was no way the two of them could tell anyone about so many hundred-year-old spiritual milks, such precious things.
Lu Yi was very happy when he saw the two of them put away the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk.
With the task panel, it should be easy for Lu Yi to become an immortal in the future. He doesn't want to see his relatives die.
Even if he was invincible and immortal, what was the point of being alone? Lu Yi would naturally not give up on the people he was close to.
