Li Xiuchen had been beaten black and blue by him yesterday, losing face. He took advantage of the fact that it was still early and no one was around, and quickly entered the Wanshou Mountains. Luo Jianqing followed him calmly from a few miles away, while Li Xiuchen cursed all the way.

The strange curse words that he heard made Luo Jianqing find it very funny.

“If my master also cursed like Li Xiuchen, then I would be in trouble.” After a pause, Luo Jianqing thought of the image of Xuan Lingzi cursing like Li Xiuchen, and suddenly shuddered, whispering to himself, “No, no, no… that’s not him at all. Right, it’s more normal for my master not to curse…”

After following Li Xiuchen for half an hour, Luo Jianqing finally saw a second-tier demon beast.

“The second-order demonic beast is only equivalent to the level of human Qi cultivation at the fourth to sixth level. Li Xiuchen easily killed it and took its inner core. Luo Jianqing watched from afar and couldn’t help but laugh softly: “He hasn’t even officially entered the Wanshou Mountains yet, and he’s already encountering second-order demonic beasts. It seems that his luck is really against the heavens…”

The second-order demonic beast couldn’t catch Luo Jianqing’s attention from afar, so he calmly followed behind Li Xiuchen to watch the excitement.

However, after watching the excitement for a long time, it sometimes becomes very boring. So sometimes when Li Xiuchen is about to kill the demonic beast, Luo Jianqing will send a stream of spiritual power over, help the demonic beast dodge the fatal blow, and then continue to fight with Li Xiuchen.

This is the love of a fellow senior brother, he is training Li Xiuchen’s practical combat ability!

After fighting four or five demonic beasts in a row, Li Xiuchen also felt something strange: “Why are these demonic beasts all so powerful?”

It seems like he was found out, Luo Jianqing sat on the top of a towering tree, calmly looking at the vast blue sky. So when Li Xiuchen defeated the next demonic beast, he was surprised to find that this demonic beast’s strength seemed normal, but when he opened its head and tried to take out the inner core, he suddenly realized…

“Ah, ah, ah! Where’s the inner core? Where’s the inner core? Why is it gone?!”

Not far away, Luo Jianqing played with the white inner core of a very ordinary second-order demonic beast in his hand and casually put it into his storage ring.

.

Most demonic beasts in the world will grow inner cores, which are located in their heads. However, there are also some special demonic beasts that do not have inner cores. This is equivalent to a disability among demonic beasts, and these kinds of demonic beasts generally cannot reach high levels because they cannot cultivate to that level.

After chopping down three or four demonic beasts without inner cores in a row, Li Xiuchen was completely bewildered.”

“Is my luck really that bad today?!”

Luo Jianqing’s methods were naturally much higher than Li Xiuchen’s. Li Xiuchen did not notice when Luo Jianqing took the inner core, but Luo Jianqing had already put four or five inner cores in his storage ring. These inner cores had only one purpose for Luo Jianqing.

“To give to Junior Sister as marbles to play with.”

After playing with Li Xiuchen for a whole morning, Luo Jianqing gradually lost interest. He secretly threw a piece of stone with his own aura on Li Xiuchen and began to meditate with his eyes closed. This place, with abundant spiritual herbs, plants, and fierce beasts, was naturally the perfect place to cultivate the “Nine Seizing Heavens Scriptures.”

After reaching the third usurpation, Luo Jianqing found that his understanding of the “Nine Seizing Heavens Scriptures” had reached a new level.

In the third usurpation of the “Nine Seizing Heavens Scriptures,” he no longer directly fought for tangible and visible things, but fought for the rules scattered throughout the entire world, those invisible rules of the heavenly path! Luo Jianqing was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so he could not directly seize the rules, but he could gain more insights into the rules in every “failed” attempt to seize them.

These insights made his void power even stronger, and he could capture more spiritual energy.

For five full days, Luo Jianqing casually meditated with his eyes closed, without paying attention to Li Xiuchen. When it was late at night, he would take a few steps to find Li Xiuchen and then meditate for a whole day before going to find people again at night.

Luo Jianqing had traveled to the outermost area of ​​Wanshou Ridge before he was thirteen years old. Li Xiuchen’s walking speed was too slow, and he had not left the outer layer for five days. In this kind of border area, even if there were opportunities, they were only good opportunities for Li Xiuchen and could not attract Luo Jianqing at all.

However, on the sixth day, when Luo Jianqing was about to meditate with his eyes closed, he suddenly heard a sharp bird cry.

Luo Jianqing opened his eyes and immediately flew towards Li Xiuchen’s direction. After a short while, he saw the huge bird the size of a mountain. Its feathers were golden, its beak was blood-red, and its small eyes stared fiercely at the group of cultivators below. It roared in anger, spewing out blazing flames from its mouth.

Li Xiuchen just arrived and hid on the side, quietly watching.

In front of this giant bird, three fully equipped teams were struggling to fight. Among them, the lowest cultivation level was in the Foundation Establishment mid-stage, and the highest cultivation level… was actually in the Golden Core mid-stage!

There were a total of nineteen people, constantly besieging this giant bird demon.

“The weakness of this Golden Feather Fire Phoenix is in its chest! Captain, let’s attack its weakness!”

“Okay!”

The captain, a Golden Core mid-stage cultivator, pulled his bowstring and a highly spiritual ice arrow pierced through the sky, stabbing the chest of the Golden Feather Fire Phoenix. The giant bird screamed in pain, its eyes filled with blood, as it roared angrily, seemingly disdainful of these humans who dared to invade its territory and even dared to injure it.

These three teams worked together in harmony. When the captain’s ice arrow pierced the chest of the Golden Feather Fire Phoenix, another Golden Core early-stage cultivator waved his big sword, and spiritual energy surged from the blade, transforming into a mighty lion that howled and rushed towards the Golden Feather Fire Phoenix.

“Capturing Demon Rope!”

More than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators released purple lights from their hands and jointly sacrificed their own Capturing Demon Ropes, forming a dense large net. The large net quickly flew down from the sky, and at this time, the shadow of the sword formed by the lion suddenly pounced on the Golden Feather Fire Phoenix, entangling and fighting each other.

Another ice arrow pierced through the air. This time, the Golden Feather Fire Phoenix saw the arrow that had previously hurt it, and suddenly let out a furious high-pitched cry. It flapped its wings, creating a gust of fire, angrily stomped the lion to death, and then spewed flames, causing the ice arrow to evaporate.

Suddenly, the two Golden Core cultivators in the team both spewed out a mouthful of blood and their auras dimmed.

“Captain!”

“Captain!”

The two Golden Core cultivators waved their hands and looked solemnly at the golden-feathered fire phoenix. They saw that the large purple net had already covered the fire phoenix’s body, trapping it tightly and seemingly unable to move. However, these two cultivators were still not at ease. Suddenly, they looked at each other and then ran forward together.

“Icy Arrow!”

“Fierce Lion Law Blade!”

The lion suddenly held an icy arrow and rushed towards the imprisoned golden-feathered fire phoenix at lightning speed. Seeing this, the fire phoenix kept screaming and angrily flapping its wings, stirring up a whirlwind of flames, but it was still trapped in the net and unable to escape.

The giant lion collided with the fire phoenix, and the icy arrow was inserted into its chest.

The golden-feathered fire phoenix suddenly quieted down. Its chest spurted out fresh blood and it was already severely injured. The three teams breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could speak, they saw a layer of golden light shining from the giant bird’s body. The captain at the mid-stage of Golden Core was horrified and said, “Not good! It’s going to use its innate skill, Flame Revival!”

Not far away, Luo Jianqing witnessed this scene.

The golden-feathered fire phoenix was born at the fifth rank and was rumored to be a descendant of the phoenix, a divine beast. Although its bloodline was not so pure, it still possessed skills very similar to its ancestor, such as Flame Revival. The phoenix’s rebirth was an ultimate technique, but Flame Revival was not as powerful. Using this skill could only heal the golden-feathered fire phoenix’s injuries quickly, giving it a chance to escape, but as long as it lasted for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the fire phoenix would drop to the fourth rank and might never be able to return to the fifth rank in its lifetime.

To be able to force a Golden Feather Fire Phoenix at the level of a human in the later stage of refining the golden elixir to such a state, these group of wandering cultivators are really quite formidable. Luo Jianqing’s gaze lightly fell on Li Xiuchen not far away, who was clutching his sword with excitement, apparently ready to take advantage of the situation.

Luo Jianqing knew that in “Seeking Immortality,” it was written that Li Xiuchen had won the treasure and inner core of the Golden Feather Fire Phoenix within ten days of coming to the Wanshou Ridge, and had also been pursued by many cultivators. The book said that Li Xiuchen did not know that those cultivators had worked so hard to capture the fire phoenix, but they forced him to hand over the treasure of the phoenix only after a life-and-death struggle.

Li Xiuchen was really wronged, and those shameless people still wanted to kill him, it was really unfair!

– That’s probably what the book meant.

However, Luo Jianqing did not think so.

They had forced the fire phoenix to the point where it was about to be reborn, indicating how much effort they had put in. First, they had to find the fire phoenix, then they had to lure it out, and in the end, they had to defeat it. Li Xiuchen had just taken advantage of the last moment, and it was only natural for others to ask him to hand over the treasure.

However, the Wanshous Ridge had always been ruled by the strong, and Li Xiuchen’s behavior of taking treasures, while looked down upon, was also quite normal. But those people pursuing Li Xiuchen was also reasonable, as long as they caught up with him, all the treasures on his body could be theirs.

The law of the jungle, this was the iron rule in the Wanshou Ridge.

Seeing the fire phoenix recover to its peak state in an instant, it lifted the giant net that had trapped itself with one go. But at this time, those cultivators had already exhausted their spiritual power and were covered in wounds.

“Everyone! As long as we hold on for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, this Golden Feather Fire Phoenix will be ours for the taking!”

“Good!”

Everyone worked together and used their own skills while avoiding the blazing flames of the Fire Phoenix. Naturally, some people were seriously injured and fell to the ground, spitting out blood, while others had their arms cut off by a hurricane from the Fire Phoenix and howled in pain.

This cup of tea time was so long that it was despairing.

Li Xiuchen certainly could not go up and die, and Luo Jianqing just watched from the side.

This was the rule of Wanshou Ridge, where no one would help you. If Luo Jianqing went up, he could easily subdue the Fire Phoenix, but those scattered cultivators would not get anything. Even if Luo Jianqing was just helping, the previous efforts of those scattered cultivators would have been in vain.

Because Luo Jianqing was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After a cup of tea time, the Fire Phoenix’s breath also showed signs of decline. The bird was also very smart and quickly wanted to flap its wings and leave. Just as its breath was about to fall to the fourth stage and it flew back into the sky, Li Xiuchen flew up in excitement.

“You beast, where are you trying to escape to!”

Li Xiuchen’s long sword danced and pointed directly at the Fire Phoenix. Just as his sword light was about to touch the Fire Phoenix, a green light flashed past him.

“Ah, ah, ah!!!”

Li Xiuchen suddenly fell from the sky and landed among those scattered cultivators. As for the Fire Phoenix, it also fell to the fourth stage in an instant, and Luo Jianqing’s sword qi forced it to howl in agony and fall to the ground.

The injured and exhausted wandering cultivators looked on in silence as the leader of their group, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, stood up and tried to steady his spiritual energy before speaking loudly, “I don’t know which senior helped us just now. If the senior doesn’t mind, we only need the golden feathers on this demonic beast. We went through great pains to lure it out and even suffered injuries to get it, so it’s only fair that we get most of the spoils.”

Although the cultivator tried to maintain a calm demeanor, his voice still carried a tinge of resentment.

They had gone through great hardships to find the Golden Feather Fire Phoenix, and had to use many treasures to lure it out, only to end up with injuries. Now, this senior cultivator had only helped them in the end and was taking away most of the rewards. It was only natural for them to be angry.

However, they dared not speak out their anger.

To their surprise, Luo Jianqing calmly said, “I didn’t kill this Fire Phoenix.”

The cultivator was stunned. “Senior?”

Luo Jianqing’s voice was indifferent. “I only disliked the idea of this young man sitting back and reaping the rewards without contributing. So, I used my sword energy to force him to come down. The Fire Phoenix was too timid and scared itself into falling.”

The cultivator was overjoyed. “Thank you, senior!”

Luo Jianqing stood in the shadows, smiling faintly.

The group of wandering cultivators quickly surrounded the Golden Feather Fire Phoenix and killed it. After finishing everything, the captain of the group finally remembered Li Xiuchen, who had suddenly attacked them earlier. He walked up to Li Xiuchen, who had been injured by Luo Jianqing’s sword energy and fell without defense, and his expression turned grim.

Li Xiuchen suddenly snapped out of his daze when the captain approached him and gritted his teeth, “That voice! You’re the person from the inn earlier, aren’t you?! You’re that person!!!”

Luo Jianqing leaned against a tree and smiled without saying a word.

He knew that Li Xiuchen could easily escape from these wandering cultivators, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He still needed Li Xiuchen to go deep into the Wanshou Mountain in the coming months to find opportunities. How could he let Li Xiuchen die here? However…

Before that, if he could let Li Xiuchen suffer a few more beatings and humiliation, he wouldn’t mind at all.
