At the edge of the cemetery, three or four figures slowly approached. An old couple was carrying a young man and a child. The young man was carrying a bamboo basket with white and yellow paper money, as well as things like incense and candles, as if he was here to pay tribute to the deceased.

The old man couldn't help but frown when he saw a young man standing outside the hut in front of him.

"My wife, this young man is so strange. Why did he run to this cemetery early in the morning? And he is standing there, he doesn't know..." The old woman beside him muttered.

The old man suddenly glared at the old woman and scolded, "Talk too much!"

The old woman stopped her voice.

At this moment, the little boy among the four turned his eyes and looked at the boy curiously, and shouted: "Big brother, what are you standing there?"

The old man beside him saw the child suddenly talking and quickly pulled him behind him.

When Luoyang saw the strange behavior of these four people, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, then clasped his fists and said, "Several, where is the old man living in this thatched hut?"

He pointed to the ragged hut behind him.

The old couple looked at each other with a strange look on their faces. The old man looked alert and asked, "What are you asking about this? Don't you know that the tomb guarding Lao Liu inside was infected with a plague and died more than ten years ago? It was early in the morning, didn't the young man come specifically to find bad luck for us?"

"Die?" Luoyang's pair of pupils shrank, took a deep breath, and asked, "Old man, do you say the people here have been dead for more than ten years?"

"Will I still lie to you?" The old man frowned and looked unhappy: "This northwest cemetery has been abandoned for more than ten years. If the gravekeeper had not died, would you think it would be like this now?"

Luoyang really took a breath and asked, "Old man, is the former owner of this hut an old man named Lao Liu?"

"Yes, do you know him?" The old man looked at Luoyang and said, "But you don't look old. Old Liu has been dead for more than ten years. Could you be his distant relative?"

Speaking of this, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and suddenly pointed to a bare tombstone twenty or thirty feet away, and said, "Here, that is Lao Liu's tomb. If you want to worship him, you won't be afraid of not being able to find a place."

After saying that, the old man took his family to the other side of the cemetery. After walking out half a mile, he took out the offerings from the bamboo basket in front of a tombstone and began to worship.

"Old Liu's grave..."

Luoyang felt a little cold in his palms. He looked at the grave in the direction indicated by the old man. He saw a lonely earth bun standing there twenty or thirty feet away. In front of him was a crooked tombstone, a black crow stood on the tombstone, and his head was tilted at a strange angle, but the dark red eyes seemed to be staring at him without moving.

"Damn, what the hell is this!"

Luoyang felt a little swollen in his mind. When the dead crow stared at it, he felt even more chilling all over his body, so he quickly left this strange place.

......

After returning to the city lord's mansion, Luoyang never visited the cemetery in the northwest again. Until now, he couldn't figure out whether Lao Liu was a human or a ghost, and the cemetery was really strange, as if there were many secrets he had not discovered were buried there.

"Now the black fog has seemed to have fallen into a bottleneck for me, and there is no need to venture into that cemetery again."

Although the black fog can solidify and enhance the soul power of Luoyang, since his soul power has increased by 10%, this effect has begun to be greatly reduced. There seems to be no difference in practicing in a cemetery or at home. The improvement is quite slow and better than nothing.

"I don't have to think about the cemetery for the time being. Now this kind of thing is a little powerless to resist. It will not be too late to explore it after the strength has increased to a certain level in the future."

Luoyang was not curious about such unknown and terrifying things, otherwise he would not have gone to explore the cemetery alone that night. However, the current situation seemed to be somewhat beyond his imagination, and everything still needs to be done with caution.

In the coming period, Luoyang traveled back and forth between the City Lord's Mansion and his independent courtyard in the west of the city, and his cultivation level steadily improved. At the same time, he also began to study the top-level sword technique "variable and illusory sword technique" obtained in the cemetery. This sword technique theory is far more exquisite than the "Lost Ying Fei Hua Jian", which is simply incomparable. After practicing the basic sword technique in the first four styles, the power has exceeded the sword technique realm of "eight virtual and one real".

......

A month later, in a small courtyard in the west of the city.

Luoyang sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard, with the scorching sun, and the blazing sunlight fell on him, reflecting a faint jade light, and there was a hint of coolness in the turquoise green.

At this time, he took out three bottles of elixirs from his arms, namely Tongming Pill, Sanzhuan Xuanqi Pill and Bone Tempering Pill.

His current wealth is very rich, so he will naturally no longer be stingy with the elixirs. Tongming Pill and Sanzhuan Xuanqi Pill, he bought five bottles each in one breath, and the other bone-tempering pill is the top body-forging pill sold by Baicaoge. The price of one pill is more than 10,000 taels of silver, but he bought ten bottles at one time, about 200 pills.

"Silver will naturally be spent on the blade. With these pills, my strength will be at least doubled in the short term."

A pill was poured out from each bottle, and after taking it, Luoyang quickly closed his eyes.

After a moment, a layer of white smoke emerged from the top of Luoyang's head. This was a phenomenon that only when the internal energy flowed to the extreme. At the same time, the faint jade light on his body began to flow continuously, and it was circulating all over his body, and the color began to become more pure and more eye-catching.

And the muscles on his body began to roll like a little mouse, and his muscles were tangled and filled with explosive power.

It was not until more than an hour later that Luoyang opened his eyes again, pressed his palms down, his chest contracted, and then he suddenly let out a breath of arrow. Suddenly, a howling sound came from the air. The arrow shot out was more than three feet long, and it hit the opposite wall, leaving a small pit.

"The third forging of the Nine Turns Ming Jade Master, I finally reached this level." Luoyang stretched out his arms, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. He saw a faint green fluorescent lingering on the skin of his palms. This was a strange phenomenon that only after practicing the "Nine Turns Ming Jade Master" until he was a small achievement.

"The bone tempering pill has made a lot of contributions to being able to enter the third forging so quickly. Moreover, my strength has not only increased greatly, but also my physical defense has also increased greatly. If I were a warrior below the fifth level of the internal energy, I would just use a weapon to directly chop me, and I am afraid that it would not cause any damage."

After practicing the "Nine Turns Ming Yu Gong" to the third forging, Luoyang's strength had exceeded 3,500 kilograms, and the effect was beyond his imagination. I think this is the effect brought by the top elixir "Bone Tempering Pill". At the same time, the muscles, bones and meridians in his body were also greatly tempered and improved. Judging from the current situation, it has truly surpassed the physical strength of ordinary warriors in the early stage of the Yuan Dynasty.

"The third forging of the Nine-Turn Ming Yu Gong, the fourth level of the inner Qi Realm, my strength has not only doubled, but has increased at least more than three times. If I meet Zhou Zimo again, I will definitely defeat him head-on."

However, Zhou Zimo was not his first goal. At present, only the Luoren Sect is an obstacle that he must overcome.

Luoyang thought for a moment, and suddenly the black spirit ring on his right hand flashed, and a spirit stone fell into his hand. At the same time, there was a map and a black unknown jade plaque that he accidentally discovered in a corner of the storage spirit ring.
