"Someone died last night."

"Isn't it? The city is getting more and more chaotic, and Moyun Sect doesn't care about it..."

"Hush, be careful."

The noisy footsteps and chatter woke up Zhao Zhuo from his deep sleep. He opened his mouth to curse, but he quickly realized the fact that he had changed the world and quickly stopped.

But still driven by curiosity, the wooden wedge moved out and pushed the door open a gap.

Observe in secret.

Looking out from the crack of the door, there is a bloodless human head diagonally opposite the wall. His eyes are wide and his face is full of disbelief.

That face is very familiar to Zhao Zhuo. He is his neighbor. He is a fourth-level talisman master. He earns a lot of money by virtue of his skills in drawing talismans. He is considered a high-income group in Qingni Lane. He often frequents Qunfang Pavilion on weekdays and is very happy.

.

Even the original owner once envied the fu cultivator next door.

But now that he is dead, even his head has been chopped off, and he cannot even be buried in peace.

Zhao Zhuo immediately closed the door and re-inserted the door wedge. The hairs on his back stood on end. He only felt a wave of fear in his heart. He had experienced so much yesterday that he didn't hear any sound even though there was only a wall between them in the middle of the night. What if Jie Xiu had come to him last night?

...The consequences are chilling.

Is the reduction in the number of casual cultivators caused by such vicious fighting beneficial to the ruler Moyun Sect?

There must be a meaning behind the existence of everything.

"Oh, this world is so dangerous!"

Today's experience and the eyes that can't be closed all tell Zhao Zhuo how cruel this world is.

Zhao Zhuo secretly decided not to go out if he could in the future, and try to avoid possible dangers.

Of course, in addition to selectively avoiding disasters, he also needs to improve his own strength. His right hand touched the Sky Breaking Knife at his waist. The cold metal touch gave him a sense of security. Even if the robbery cultivator came to his door, he would not be without a fight.

force.

It’s just a fight to the death, who is afraid!

At the moment of life and death, no matter how cowardly you are, you will burst into courage.

After experiencing the encounter in the morning, Zhao Zhuo revised his plan. He planned to use all his experience in the next period of time. He would first upgrade the magic weapon, the Sky-Breaking Knife, to increase his defensive cards, and then work hard to improve his cultivation.

I simply cooked some spiritual rice and monster meat, and the two were very good. I ate three large bowls of them and still didn't feel satisfied.

After the meal, Zhao Zhuo felt as if a warm air was spreading in his abdomen. He quickly returned to the bedroom and bed and began to meditate to refine and extract these spiritual powers.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Zhuo felt some tingling in his meridians, and quickly changed the form of exercise to mobilize the stationary mana in his Dantian to warm and nourish the meridians in his body.

At the same time, he adjusted his somewhat restless spiritual energy, and it took about a quarter of an hour to finish the practice.

Zhao Zhuo opened his eyes and found that he was a little thirsty. He picked up the kettle next to him, poured out a large bowl of cold boiled water, and poured it into his mouth.

"Cool!"

During this practice, the amount of mana in the Dantian has improved again. Although it is relatively small, over time, there will be some achievements.

At this time, he has to thank the original owner for the talent of three spiritual roots. Although it is not a superior talent, it is still better than those unlucky ones who started with five spiritual roots.

Well, I should say he is a senior.

"Brother Han, Brother Wang, and Brother Shi bless me and wish me to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal." Zhao Zhuo thought in his heart.

After a simple rest, Zhao Zhuo started to experience again. The Sky-Breaking Knife continued to rotate and fly around his body under the influence of mana. Repeated practice made him more and more proficient in the use of this magical weapon.

Even if a fight does break out, there will be no rush.

"Dong dong dong."

Zhao Zhuo's body suddenly tensed up, and after a few seconds he stood up and asked outside the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, brother, open the door quickly!"

The familiar voice awakened the memory of the original owner, and a figure of about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender figure and always a smile on his face emerged in his mind.

Zhao Zhuo opened the door and said politely, "It turns out to be Brother Yan."

Yan Fang met the original owner on the flying boat ten years ago. The two have already passed the outer sect examination and took root in Moyunfang City together. They once trusted each other with their lives.

But two years ago, Yan Fang got involved in gambling. He started gambling for fun, and later started gambling when he earned spiritual stones. At first, he borrowed spiritual stones from the original owner several times, but never returned them. Later, the original owner also

He stopped lending him spiritual stones. After being rejected several times...the relationship between the two became estranged and they no longer communicated with each other.

But I didn't expect that he would suddenly come to my door today, and I don't know what the purpose was.

Zhao Zhuo blocked the door with his body and had no intention of getting out of the way.

"Hahaha, I heard that someone died in Qingni Lane, so I came to confirm your safety." Yan Fang didn't feel embarrassed when he saw that Zhao Zhuo had no intention of inviting him in, so he smiled.

"I'm safe. Thank you, Brother Yan, for your concern." Zhao Zhuo thanked him politely, but he was inevitably a little panicked, worried that the other party would suddenly break out and hurt someone.

"You and I don't need to be so polite, but it's good that you're safe." Yan Fang's eyes were bloodshot, and his energy was slightly sluggish, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Obviously, he wandered around the casino until dawn again.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more times, but they were old things, and they became quite familiar with each other.

"Brother Zhao, do you still have enough spirit stones in your hands? Lend me your money and I will repay you double the amount when the time comes." Seeing that the time was almost right, Yan Fang took Zhao Zhuo's sleeve and said cordially, as if he wanted to help you make a lot of money.

The appearance.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He had already guessed Yan Fang's goal. Concerning safety and recalling the past were just ways to get closer.

"To be honest, Brother Yan, I haven't even collected the rent for next month. Alas, life is getting more and more difficult. Why don't you, Brother Yan, pay me back the spiritual stones I lent you before so that I can collect the rent?" Zhao Zhuo pretended.

He looks like a decadent person living a difficult life, fighting magic with magic.

Upon hearing this, Yan Fang immediately loosened his sleeves and subconsciously took half a step back.

"Oh, I don't have any spiritual stones to repay you. I've already lost them all."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhuo made a sincere suggestion, "Brother Yan, why don't you sell the protective magic weapon, half of it will be returned to me for emergencies, and the other half will be used to repay the debt?"

"Ahem, how can we sell protective magical weapons in such an environment?" Yan Fang immediately refused.

Immediately, he stared at Zhao Zhuo and questioned him.

"Are you serious that you don't have any spiritual stones, or are you still unwilling to lend them to me?"

Hearing this slightly threatening question and being stared at by those bloodshot eyes, Zhao Zhuo's heart suddenly tightened and the hairs on his back stood up. He felt a great threat and quietly began to hide the secrets on his waist.

Inject mana into the buckle.

"Really not!"

"That's all, that's all, our brothers are separated after all." Yan Fang sighed, turned and left.

Zhao Zhuo quickly closed the door, sweating all over his body.

"He was definitely planning to take action just now! But he gave up again for some unknown reason."

For the next few days, Zhao Zhuo lived a monotonous and boring life of ascetic cultivation. Every day he woke up was to stimulate the experience of breaking the empty knife and liver. However, Yan Fang never appeared again, which made Zhao Zhuo's panic feel a little calmer.

When recovering his mana, Zhao Zhuo will use this time to cook. After eating, he will immediately absorb spiritual power and practice Qi.

If you feel tired, just hold on, if you feel sleepy, take a few sips of cold water.

In addition, because of the shadow of his neighbor being killed, Zhao Zhuo did not dare to sleep in bed during this period. Instead, after being sleepy to the limit, he rested in the pile of firewood in the storage room.

At the same time, he is also practicing leaving a ray of vigilance spiritual sense while sleeping. Although this will affect the effect of rest, in the face of life safety, this side effect seems a bit insignificant.

With hard work day and night, the experience value of upgrading the Sky Breaking Knife has increased at an extremely fast rate, exceeding the original plan and reaching a whole new level.

[Level: Low-grade magic weapon 1·Hollow Breaking Knife]

【Experience:350/400】

[Status: Not upgradeable]

[Creation value: 0]

One more day and the Sky Breaking Knife will be upgraded again.

Although the speed of progress in Qi training and cultivation has been slightly affected during this period, Zhao Zhuo also understands that improving self-protection methods is a necessary strategy in this dangerous world.

He often reviews the memories of the original owner, trying to obtain goals and experiences for future development through mutual confirmation.

Zhao Zhuo also came to the conclusion that the original owner was not cautious enough and did not have a clear understanding of the dangers of the world, which led to several dangerous encounters.

Caution is an important conclusion drawn after browsing the memory.

Making progress while maintaining stability is the direction of future development.

However, since Zhao Zhuo ate so much during this period, he originally planned to have ten days of spiritual rice reserves, but now he only has about three meals left.

Living in peace and thinking about danger, Zhao Zhuo knew that he should go out to explore, buy some spiritual rice, and then go to the place where the original owner earned spiritual stones to try to open up the source as soon as possible.

If possible, pick up a repairable defensive magic weapon from a street stall to improve your own defense capabilities. Then, the Sky Breaking Knife will be responsible for the attack, and then the magic weapon will be used for defense.

One attack and one defense can be considered a simple battle mode.
