The breeze blew the hair on Bai Qingzhou's forehead, floating randomly. At this time, he was sitting on the [Flying Cloud Spiritual Paper], controlling the flying magic weapon and flying all the way towards Luo Gufang.
Looking down at the long sword with a red hilt in his hand, he was still filled with joy.
This sword is called [Qinghong Sword], and it is a middle-grade yellow sword. The sword is more than three feet and seven inches long, and is made of exquisite patterned steel. A long rainbow blood groove is carved on the sword.
It was the reward for his ranking in the Fangshi Arena.
In addition to this [Green Rainbow Sword], the rewards include five yellow-level middle-grade spells and twenty low-grade spiritual stones.
This made Bai Qingzhou very excited, and he had a clear understanding of the Wuji Alliance's wealth.
Because a medium-grade yellow-level weapon generally requires more than 30 low-grade spiritual stones, plus a direct reward of 20 low-grade spiritual stones, the three items add up to almost 60 low-grade spiritual stones.
You know, Bai Qingzhou's annual salary is only four low-grade spiritual stones, and sixty yuan is enough to cover his twelve years' salary.
How can this not make Bai Qingzhou speechless...
At this time, two months have passed since the Fangshi Arena Competition.
Because Ye Yin's last sword carried a large amount of spiritual energy to attack, and stabbed Bai Qingzhou not far from his heart, which caused him to be seriously injured and comatose. After waking up, he was warmed up for half a month before he gradually recovered.
He had just resumed meditation practice for a month after recovering. Today, while he was still discussing with Ruan Xiuqi, who had just been promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he suddenly received an order from Gongshan Pavilion, clearly requiring him to manage his shop.
This shop is Baicaotang in Luogufang.
In the later Qi refining competition in this arena, when the Xuanyang Sect and the Iron Bone Sect competed for third place, Lu Jingyi of the Iron Bone Sect unexpectedly surrendered, causing Shuiyingfang's store qualification to be inexplicably lost to that of the Xuanyang Sect.
On hand.
Although it was unexpected, it was impossible to refuse the free gift of the Fangshi store Xuanyangmen. After taking over, I started preparing for the store opening. It took two months to determine the store name, purchase goods, contact the supply source, etc., and today everything is finally ready.
The opening of a new store requires an experienced shopkeeper to be stationed. At this time, the doorkeeper thought of Xie Zhongjian, who had been hanging out in Luogufang all year round, and informed him to go to Shuiyingfang to run the new store, while the old store was handed over to Bai.
Manage by boat.
As his cultivation improves, Bai Qingzhou can feel that the sect values him more and more, and such important matters can be left in his hands. Although dealing with these matters will delay his training time, Bai Qingzhou believes that this is recognition of his ability.
, so I have no complaints and enjoy it.
"Well... that store doesn't seem to be doing very well..."
Bai Qingzhou had some impressions of the store. He had been to Baicaotang once before. The store was very deserted. Senior Brother Xie was lying at the door and sleeping that day.
"Roar!!"
A low howl suddenly sounded.
Bai Qingzhou's memories were instantly interrupted, causing him to tremble all over and his scalp was numb.
Because this low roar cannot be made by a human being, it is... the sound of a monster!
The sound was not loud and seemed to come from a distance.
There are monsters around here!
Bai Qingzhou stood up in a hurry, covered his eyes with spiritual energy, used [Visual Sight Technique] to look at the source of the sound, and looked into the distance.
Demonic beasts mainly refer to species in which some beasts mutate due to absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all year round. The spiritual energy is converted into demonic power in the body and enhances the bloodline ability.
They will devour the essence and blood of human monks, increasing the demon power in their bodies. Even when it reaches a certain level, they can also turn on their spiritual wisdom and transform into human forms, and they are naturally hostile to humans.
With the help of the spell, Bai Qingzhou's eyesight became extremely good. After several searches, he quickly found the trace.
In the forest nearly ten miles away, trees kept falling down, stirring up a burst of dust, and from time to time there was some fire.
what's the situation?
Is this a monk chasing a monster?
Or are monsters chasing the monks?
Seeing this scene, Bai Qingzhou kept having questions in his mind. Looking at the movement, it seemed that the monster beast was quite big.
Would you like to go over and have a look?
Although Bai Qingzhou has eaten monster meat several times, his impression of monsters still only exists in books, and he has never seen what a monster looks like with his own eyes.
This was the first time in his life that he encountered a monster. Driven by curiosity, he couldn't help but want to go and have a look.
After struggling in place for a moment, curiosity finally defeated caution, and Bai Qingzhou controlled the [Flying Cloud Spiritual Paper] and slowly flew towards the chaos.
"Just take a look from a distance..."
The distance of ten miles can be reached in less than half a moment for a monk.
"Hoo...ho..."
The closer you get, the more clearly you can hear the roar of the monster, but the sound is getting smaller and smaller, as if it is slowly getting weaker.
This is...the monster is dying?
Bai Qingzhou approached cautiously with doubts. When he was still two miles away from the center of the fight, he stopped, put away the [Feiyun Spirit Paper], jumped onto the tree trunk, and quietly looked at the fight over there.
Not far away, I saw a huge demonic beast with red eyes and dark brown body that was constantly attacking. It was about one foot between its head and tail, and its seemingly hard skin had been bruised with blood from the attacks.
"This is... [Black Ape Beast]!"
At first glance, Bai Qingzhou recognized this monster beast. He had seen it in books.
[Black Ape Beast], a first-level monster, whose strength is approximately equal to that of a human in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Because of its high IQ, it is a species that is very easy to mutate, which is not uncommon among monsters.
Seeing the monster, Bai Qingzhou moved his gaze to its rear.
Behind it were two monks chasing after it, one male and one female, both middle-aged.
Both men and women were wearing relatively shabby clothes, with some blood stains on their bodies, as if they had been injured. They kept waving their long swords in pursuit of the monsters.
After careful observation, Bai Qingzhou could see that the cultivation level of these two people was probably in the middle stage of Qi refining.
But it is not clear whether it is the fifth level of Qi refining or the sixth level of Qi refining.
"It seems to be a casual cultivator."
Bai Qingzhou felt that the two of them were dressed exactly like the casual cultivators who set up stalls in the market.
The two monks each held long swords, and they were very familiar with the coordination. They attacked, defended, and chased, constantly surrounding and killing the [Black Ape Beast].
The beating made [Black Ape Beast] roar continuously!
Although its IQ is relatively high, it is only compared to other stupid animals. In fact, it is just an animal that has not yet developed its intelligence.
Being chased by human monks, he could only flee for his life in a panic, choosing no other way.
The man and woman continued to use the weapons and spells in their hands, leaving many wounds on its body, like blunt knives cutting flesh, slowly harvesting the life of the [Black Ape Beast].
"This monster looks very stupid..."
Bai Qingzhou gave an evaluation in his heart.
"Roar!"
[Black Ape Beast] suddenly roared loudly.
His body turned suddenly, adjusted his direction, and rushed towards Bai Qingzhou.
"Huh? Did you hear me scold you?"
Bai Qingzhou never expected that this [Black Ape Beast] would actually run away in his direction.
The monster's huge body kept breaking down the trees along the way, and it attacked with scarlet eyes.
Bai Qingzhou drew out the [Green Rainbow Sword], stood on the tree trunk, and looked at the [Black Ape Beast] running not far away.
My heart is eager to try!
At this moment, he really wanted to test the monster's strength!
Don't think much about it.
Bai Qingzhou flashed, revealed his body, and shouted at him: "Two fellow Taoists, I'm here to help you destroy the beast!"
The sudden shout startled the two people who were chasing after him. They never noticed that there was a monk nearby.
But he reacted instantly. The male monk raised his hands and shouted: "Don't bother this fellow Taoist!"
But when Bai Qingzhou saw the [Black Ape Beast] approaching, he no longer hesitated.
He shouted: "You're welcome!"
With a sudden step on the tree trunk, the tree trunk immediately cracked under his feet, and his body shot out, with the long sword in his hand pointed directly at the center of the [Black Ape Beast]'s eyebrows.
After Bai Qingzhou reaches the fifth level of Qi refining, the spiritual energy produced by the practice will accumulate on his feet, greatly improving his explosive power.
The spiritual energy carried by the sword tip tore through the surrounding air, and suddenly stabbed at the [Black Ape Beast].
It's exactly a move from the "Bamboo Leaf Sword Manual" Yunjian!
"Bah!"
Whether it is the sharpness or the spiritual energy it carries, [Qinghong Sword] is much better than Bai Qingzhou's previous [Shangqing Sword].
Under the strong burst of spiritual energy, the tip of the sword penetrated the [Black Ape Beast] between the eyebrows unimpeded.
The sudden attack of this sword caused the running body of [Black Ape Beast] to suddenly stop.
Bai Qingzhou twisted his hand and turned the tip of the sword, smashing the brains of the [Black Ape Beast], and then drew the sword and floated down.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise.
[Black Ape Beast]'s huge body fell to the ground, knocking down a tree next to it, and a burst of dust instantly rose up.
One move will kill.
At this time, the two monks behind him also followed up, glanced at the [Black Ape Beast] that was motionless, and then looked at Bai Qingzhou holding a sword on the side, with guarded eyes.
The three of them stood facing each other several feet apart.
The male monk thought for a while, stepped forward and raised his hands and said: "Fellow Taoist, thank you for your help!"
"You're welcome." Bai Qingzhou smiled enthusiastically.
"Huh?"
The female monk on the side suddenly uttered a question, pointed at Bai Qingzhou and said:
"You seem to be from the Xuanyang Sect."
Because he was going to Fangshi to guard the shop, Bai Qingzhou was not wearing Xuanyangmen's signature gray robe at this time. Hearing the female monk's words, he couldn't help but ask: "What? Do you know me?"
At this time, the male monk also reacted, pointed at Bai Qingzhou and suddenly realized:
"Yes, you are the one who defeated Ye Yin, your name is... Bai Qingzhou!"
Defeating Ye Yin means that he has seen himself in the Fangshi Arena...
"That's right." Bai Qingzhou chuckled and asked, "Did you two also go to Shuiyingfang to watch the game some time ago?"
The male monk smiled slightly and said: "We, the first-level casual cultivators, must go and join in the fun of such a grand event..."
"correct!"
"My name is Zhang Yao." He pointed to the female monk beside him and said, "This is my wife, Peng Peng."
After recognizing Bai Qingzhou, the two of them were not as alert as before and relaxed a lot.
"Nice to meet you two." Bai Qingzhou answered with his hands raised, then pointed at the fallen [Black Ape Beast] and asked, "Why are the two fellow Taoists chasing this monster beast?"
"What else can we do, other than to earn a living?" the male monk exhaled lightly and said with a smile, "We are doing this fight just for the meat of this beast."
Bai Qingzhou nodded. It turned out that the two of them were casual cultivators who specialized in fighting monster beasts and selling their meat...
As far as he knew, the price of monster meat was generally one low-grade spiritual stone that could buy one hundred kilograms. Seeing that this monster was more than ten feet long and weighed thousands of kilograms, he couldn't help but wonder:
"I would like to ask, how many spiritual stones can this [Black Ape Beast] be sold for?"
After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, their eyes alert again. After a while, Zhang Yao replied:
"Excluding the bones and internal organs, the remaining monster meat of [Black Ape Beast] is about five hundred kilograms, which can be sold for five spiritual stones."
"Sounds good!"
Bai Qingzhou's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that a black ape beast could cost him more than a year's salary...
Female monk Peng Peng saw Bai Qingzhou's expression and asked strangely, "Fellow Taoist, who has his back to Xuanyang Sect, also plans to come out and do these fighting things? This is just a way of survival that we have to do..."
Who would think of doing such a dangerous thing unless absolutely necessary?
"Thank you fellow Taoist for worrying. I just asked casually." Bai Qingzhou didn't take it seriously. He raised his hands and said, "Then I won't delay the two fellow Taoists. I'll leave first."
Seeing that Bai Qingzhou did not compete with them for the monster meat, the two monks had hidden joy in their eyes.
The two looked at each other, and Peng Peng stepped forward and said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Bai, this... you killed this monster beast, how about you take some monster meat back?"
Bai Qingzhou waved his hand and said with a smile: "How am I qualified to take it? It has already been seriously injured. I just added a blow. These are all your trophies! I'm leaving!"
After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to say anything, Bai Qingzhou jumped directly onto the activated [Feiyun Spiritual Paper].
Manipulate the spiritual paper to fly into the sky.
