ps: Thanks to "nykfany" and "Quiet" for their valuable monthly votes, and thanks to "Second Kill Potato" for the reward.

"Huh~"

Ito withdrew his mental power from the jade slip in his hand and let out a long breath.

"As expected of the Miao family in southern Xinjiang, the art of healing insects and poisons is truly unique." Ito Cheng sighed in his heart as he threw the jade slip in his hand into the treasure chest.

At this time, four days have passed since the day when he and everyone in the Mingfengdong group hid in the Miao family mountain village. In the past four days, Ito Cheng worked non-stop and devoted his whole body and soul to the acquisition of knowledge and knowledge. While browsing the books, Yin Ci finally finished browsing all the secret books collected by the Mingfeng Cave lineage in the treasure bag.

The gains are significant.

Although the Miao Jiang lineage, which is the heirloom of women, did not benefit him much in terms of array formation and cultivation secrets, on the alchemy side, it was because of the Miao Jiang clan's use of insect tricks and their peculiar understanding of poisonous weeds. Chigami greatly broadened Ito's horizons and got a lot of interesting prescriptions.

"I think Lu Taeko will be very interested after seeing these things." Ito Cheng chuckled.

Then Ito Cheng stood up from the small chair, picked up the treasure bag beside him, and walked out of the Muzhai nursery house where he had stayed for four days.

When he came to the door, Ito Cheng took a deep breath of the fresh air between heaven and earth. After four or five seconds, he exhaled the waste gas in his body and took another step towards the house where Bai Junzhu lived.

"Is Junzhu here?" Ito Cheng said loudly as he was about to reach a house.

"Crunch." Along with a strange sound, Bai Junzhu's figure, who had been dressed as a Miao girl, walked out of the house.

"What's the matter with Mr. Ito?" Bai Junzhu, who was standing at the door, asked quietly.

Judging from her cold look, it clearly shows that she has not recovered from this big change, or that her temperament has simply been changed by this big change, and she no longer has the charming and teasing temperament she had when they met before.

"Here." Ito Cheng gently threw the treasure bag in his hand to Bai Junzhu.

"I've finished reading it," Ito Cheng explained.

Bai Yunzhu nodded after receiving the treasure bag, then turned over his hand and put the treasure bag away.

"The agreement has been completed, and it's time for me to leave, so let's say goodbye." Ito Cheng looked at Bai Junzhu and said softly.

"Yunzhu is very grateful for your help. Junzhu and the Hidden Sect will always remember it. If your husband is of any use to us in the future, just give us your orders. I, the Mingfengdong family, will help you even if I go through fire and water." Complete, this is the promise I, Bai Junzhu, and Mingfengdong have made to you, sir." Bai Junzhu said to Ito Cheng with a solemn look on his face.

"I understand." Ito Cheng responded with a nod.

But psychologically, he still didn't take Bai Junzhu's promise to heart. Again, the power of Bai Junzhu and Mingfengdong was really insignificant to him...

"Farewell." Ito Cheng said, clasping his fists again.

"Best regards, sir." Bai Yunzhu returned the greeting.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ito Cheng's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared from the front of Bai Junzhu.

The next moment, Ito Cheng appeared in the sky above a wider forest. Then he disappeared in a flash.

In the desolate area of ​​the vast northern part of the Rubik's Cube world, Ito Cheng's figure flashed out again.

At this time, Ito Cheng turned over his palms, and two crystals with little figures sealed inside them, which looked like artificial amber, appeared in his palms.

Ito Cheng threw the crystal into the sky with a casual throw. Almost instantly, the two crystals quickly grew in size, and in just five or six seconds, they became the same size as normal.

Then there was a crisp "pop" sound, and the crystal exploded, releasing the banned figure inside.

These two people were none other than the two stationed monks at the Golden Core stage who were captured in the village of Mingfeng Cave during the previous rescue operation.

At this time, Ito Cheng moved his palm again and turned his hand to suppress the two people who had just been freed.

"Who are you? You dare to attack me. Aren't you afraid of the revenge of Fengxuan, the Qishan sect's ancestor!" The Jindan monk, who was imprisoned by an invisible force, shouted in a stern tone.

As soon as he said this, Ito Cheng didn't say anything, but the face of another Jindan monk next to him showed a mocking look, and he glanced at the speaker with disdain.

"Two choices. One, surrender to me, and two, continue to be stubborn. Think about it in three breaths and decide." Ito Cheng said quietly while raising the index finger with his first hand and the second finger in the middle.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two Jindan monks immediately changed rapidly.

"Time's up." After three or four seconds, Ito Cheng announced immediately.

"Tell me your choice." Ito Cheng asked quietly.

"Don't even think about it!"

"I surrender!"

The voices of the two Jindan monks sounded together, but the content of what they said was indeed completely different.

Hearing the different answers from the two men, Ito Shirataki glanced with interest at the one who chose to surrender, the Jindan monk who had previously despised another Jindan monk, and asked, "Are you willing to surrender?"

"Yes." The golden elixir monk admitted simply.

"Ma Jiliang, I didn't expect you to be so greedy for life and afraid of death. It's a shame for Loushan to send a guy like you!" The golden elixir monk of the Qishan sect who chose to refuse to surrender looked at him with a mocking look.

The surrendering monk next to him, Ma Jiliang, cursed.

"So what if you are greedy for life and afraid of death! Don't tell me that you, Liu Zhen, don't want to live?" Ma Jiliang also glanced at the Jindan monk who refused to surrender with disdain. Liu Zhen said, "The reason why you insist on surrendering is simply because you are afraid of being killed."

After they found out, the family members who stayed in the Qishan sect were just taken care of by them."

"Oh? Aren't you afraid?" Ito Cheng asked, raising his eyebrows with interest.

"I am alone, what should I be afraid of?" Ma Jiliang said with a smile.

Ito Cheng nodded, and then turned his attention back to Liu Zhen, who was still full of anger. Then he reached forward and grabbed Liu Zhen, who had all his magic power and mobility restricted in his hand.

"Crack!"

Liu Zhen's body was pulled by an invisible force and flew to Ito Cheng's palm.

Then without waiting for Liu Zhen to react, Ito Cheng's eyes widened and he released all his mental power. Like the cold autumn wind blowing away the fallen leaves, it rushed into Liu Zhen's mind through Liu Zhen's eyes, in a similar way.

The memories in Liu Zhen's mind were forcibly searched through a rough method like the magic soul-searching technique.

In an instant, a large amount of messy information poured into Ito Cheng's mind through mental power.

Under the influence of this kind of soul-searching technique, Liu Zhen's eyes turned white and he foamed at the mouth when his memory was forcibly read. His whole body was twitching violently as if he was having epilepsy. Ma Jiliang, who was looking at him from the side, had an expression on his face.

Turning white, his eyes were full of fear and joy.

After about a quarter of an hour like this, Ito Cheng withdrew his mental power and threw Liu Zhen aside, who had just had a small prototype but was now ruined.

"thump."

Liu Zhen's body, with eyes as dull as a fool's, fell heavily to the ground beside him.

Another five minutes passed before Ito took a long breath and opened his eyes again.

"This method of reading memory is convenient, but it is a bit annoying to clean up afterwards." Except for the information he wanted, all other useless information belonging to Liu Zhen's memory was burned with spiritual fire.

The nihilistic Ito Cheng thought to himself.

"It's your turn." Ito Cheng turned his head and looked at Ma Jiliang with a smile on his face.

Although it was a very kind smile, in the eyes of Ma Jiliang, who had just witnessed how he turned a golden elixir monk into an idiot, it looked extremely dangerous, causing Ma Jiliang's body to tremble subconsciously.

"My lord, what are your orders?" Ma Jiliang said with a smile.

"Swear to your Taoist heart, swear to be loyal to me forever, and not to betray or deceive me in any overt or covert way. Otherwise, your cultivation will be ruined and your soul will be shattered!" Ito Cheng stopped his smile and said coldly.

Hearing this, Ma Jiliang's expression immediately changed several times. However, he had to bow his head under the eaves, so after hesitating for a while, Ma Jiliang chose to swear a poisonous oath to himself.

"I, Ma Jiliang..."

Almost at the moment Ma Jiliang swore the oath, a strange feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart. Ma Jiliang knew that this was not an illusion, but a real restriction issued by his Taoist heart.

Seeing that Ma Jiliang had complied with the oath he had made, Ito Shige no longer restrained him, and moved his thoughts to unlock the seal on Ma Jiliang.

In an instant, Ma Jiliang exuded an aura unique to the Golden Elixir cultivator.

"Tell me about the situation of the Loushan Sect." Ito Cheng gave Ma Jiliang the first order.

"Yes." Ma Jiliang, who quickly adapted to his change in status, responded respectfully, and then spoke about the situation of the Loushan Sect.

Loushan Sect, as the name suggests, is a sect established on Dalou Mountain in Guizhou Province. It is said that the founder of the sect was a powerful monk from the Han Dynasty. It has been passed down for more than 1,500 years and there are many capable disciples in the sect.

, as far as Ma Jiliang knew before leaving the sect, there were a total of 482 disciples in the whole sect!

Even though the number is less than 500, it is one of the few multi-person sects next to Dongtian sects such as Emei, Qingcheng, Shaolin, Wudang, etc., which have outer sects in the secular world that can provide outstanding disciples.

I don't know how much better than those sects whose total number of disciples is less than 300. You know, the entire Mingfeng Cave combined can only have a little over a hundred people, which is not as good as those sects with 300 disciples.

Among them, one of the Yuanying Stage monks is the Supreme Elder who stayed on earth, with the Taoist name Qingzhu.

There are six Jindan monks, including Zhang Xin, the leader at the peak of the Jindan stage, Liu Feng, the elder at the peak of the Jindan stage, Zhao Tianming, the elder at the middle stage of the Jindan stage, Ma Jiliang, who has become his subordinate at this time, and Ma Jiliang, the leader at the early stage of the Jindan stage.

Elder Wen Ting and Elder Liu Wei.

There are thirty-eight monks in the pill-forming stage, one hundred and twenty-six monks in the foundation-building stage, and the last remaining ordinary low-level disciples who have transferred their cultivation from innate to qi training or started directly from qi training.

"...That's basically it."

"Tell me how to use the Loushan sect's mountain guarding formation." Ito Cheng ordered again.

Anyway, everything had been discussed, so Ma Jiliang no longer hesitated and immediately told Ito Cheng how to enter the mountain.

"Okay, you can practice."

After saying that, without waiting for Ma Jiliang's reaction, he immediately disappeared from his sight.

Ma Jiliang looked at the desolate world in front of him, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, sat down cross-legged as instructed, closed his eyes and began to practice.

On the other side, Ito Chengze, who disappeared from Ma Jiliang's eyes, reappeared in the sky above the forest.
