Chapter 81: Fairy, please respect yourself!
Lu Changsheng used a Flying Talisman to fly at full speed and arrived at a cliff cave several miles away.
He used a Purification Talisman to scan his entire body, checking if any hidden tricks had been left behind.
After confirming there were no issues, he began to sort through the gains in the two Storage Pouches.
Inside, there were a total of three hundred sixty-two Spirit Stones.
Three Low Grade Magical Artifacts and one Medium Grade Magical Artifact.
Some Medicinal Pills.
Some Spirit Medicines.
Some Talismans.
And a pile of miscellaneous items.
Lu Changsheng estimated that these items alone were worth six or seven hundred Spirit Stones.
Adding the Magical Robe, Magical Boots, Flying Sword, Shield, Scimitar, and Flying Magical Artifact he had just acquired.
It easily amounted to over a thousand Spirit Stones.
It could be said to be a huge sum of money.
A look of joy appeared on his face.
This haul was much higher than his previous gains at Niu Tou Mountain.
One could only say that rogue Cultivators also had differences.
Being a rogue Cultivator in a place like Nine Dragon Market was much more lucrative than in a secular place like Niu Tou Mountain.
Of course, the risk was also much greater.
Lu Changsheng took out a High Grade Purification Talisman and purified and inspected all these items, checking if there were any problems with them.
As expected, under the Purification Talisman, three items indeed had imprinted marks.
After destroying and discarding these items and some suspicious, unfamiliar ones, Lu Changsheng continued to flee and change locations.
Thinking that running on his own might leave traces and consume too much spiritual energy and physical strength, Lu Changsheng directly took out a Stealth Talisman and used it.
Immediately, spiritual light surged and enveloped him, and his entire body entered the ground as if it were flat ground, shooting out with a mere thought.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Changsheng appeared several miles away.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as Lu Changsheng emerged from underground and breathed the air, he immediately smelled a foul odor.
“Grrr!”
He turned his head to look and saw a black wild boar, two to three meters tall and five to six meters long, with fur like pine needles, staring at him from not far away, white smoke spewing from its snout, and its tusks sharp and ferocious.
“Yao Beast!”
When Lu Changsheng saw this large wild boar, his heart immediately skipped a beat, knowing that this was not a wild beast, but a Yao Beast.
“Grrr!”
Before he could look further, the large wild boar let out a low growl, its two tusks faintly glowing with dark light, and charged towards him.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng quickly took out a handful of Medium and Low Grade Talismans and used them.
The Talismans burst forth with light, transforming into water curtains and light barriers, protecting his body.
Then, vines and earth prisons appeared, trapping the wild boar, and then fire bullets, fireballs, wind blades, and sharp arrows bombarded the wild boar.
“Boom boom boom!”
“Owooo! Owooo!”
Under the bombardment of ten to twenty Talismans, the wild boar let out wails before even getting close to Lu Changsheng, its body scorched black, blood gushing, and finally it wailed and fell to the ground.
“This should only be a First Tier Early Stage Yao Beast; I might be able to kill it by maneuvering with my Flying Sword.”
“This is really a bit wasteful.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the fallen wild boar and shook his head slightly.
Just a casual handful of Talismans from him cost dozens to nearly a hundred Spirit Stones.
And selling such a Yao Beast would probably only fetch about a hundred Spirit Stones.
Moreover, this wild boar was heavily damaged by his Talisman bombardment, and its meat would sell for much less.
“Never mind, there’s no need to be stingy with such small things.”
“After all, I only have one life. I’d rather waste it than make a single mistake!”
Lu Changsheng comforted himself and didn’t feel too heartbroken.
He took out his Flying Sword, roughly butchered the large wild boar, and put it into his Storage Pouch.
Yao Beast meat stored in a Storage Pouch also has a shelf life, probably seven or eight days before the meat quality deteriorates.
However, after returning to Qingzhu Mountain this time, besides eating it himself, he could also feed it to the Nine Nether Mastiff.
Over the past two years, he mostly fed the Nine Nether Mastiff ordinary raw meat, only occasionally giving it a few meals of Yao Beast meat.
There was no other way; if he fed it Yao Beast meat every day, he simply couldn’t afford it.
If it weren’t for fear of accidents, he would have wanted to find a mountain range and directly let the Nine Nether Mastiff live freely.
Waiting for the Nine Nether Mastiff to become a Yao King by fighting its way through, and then taking him to fly.
After cleaning up the surrounding traces, Lu Changsheng began to find a place to settle down for the night.
He planned to rest for a day and leave the next day when the Iron Feather Eagle had recovered to normal.
During this process, to avoid encountering other Yao Beasts, Lu Changsheng was also very careful and cautious.
Finally, in a mountain cave, he encountered a tiger Yao Beast.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng took out a handful of Talismans and directly blasted this First Tier Early Stage tiger Yao to death, then walked into the cave.
He planned to spend the night here.
“It’s just for one night, nothing else should happen, right?”
Lu Changsheng lay on the tiger skin rug, feeling a bit tired.
Although Talismans didn’t consume much, using so many Talismans had consumed a lot of his mental energy.
He took out White Jade Hundred Flower Wine and took two sips, then took out a Spirit Stone and began to meditate and Cultivate.
Night gradually fell.
In the wilderness forest, the constant roars and howls of wild beasts at night made it seem very eerie.
At this moment, dozens of miles away, on a mountain peak.
“Screech!”
A large eagle, with black feathers all over its body and a wingspan several zhang long, landed.
On the back of the black eagle stood a burly middle-aged man.
The man wore a black robe, as if he had merged with the night.
He jumped down from the eagle’s back, his eyes glowing faintly in the night, and began to investigate the surroundings.
After checking the surroundings, Zhou Kuanglong murmured, “It seems I’ve fallen. How can a mere Lianqi Fourth Layer Young Master have such strength and means?”
Then, with a light step, his agile figure leaped up and landed back on the eagle’s back.
Immediately, the black eagle soared into the night sky.
Before flying far, a violent surge of light suddenly appeared in the distance.
This light was incredibly dazzling, like a rising sun in the night sky, making people dare not look directly at it.
“What is this!?”
Zhou Kuanglong on the black eagle looked towards the source of the light.
But with his Qi Refining Peak cultivation, he couldn’t see clearly at all.
As the light slightly dimmed, one could see a colorful glow intertwining and colliding with a black-red tornado, erupting with bursts of thunderous roars.
Boom boom boom!
Two streaks of colorful light moved in the air, constantly colliding and sweeping, creating astonishing ripples.
The aftermath fell upon the mountains below, causing the mountain ranges to churn and rumble, constantly being damaged and destroyed.
The fierce birds and beasts in the forest and mountains were all terrified, trembling and fleeing in all directions.
“This is… Core Formation True Persons fighting!”
Zhou Kuanglong finally saw clearly that within the colorful glow and the black-red tornado, a woman in a colorful robe and a red-robed old man were faintly visible.
The two continuously exchanged blows, making the night sky brilliant and the clouds roll and unfurl across the sky.
“Flee, I must quickly flee from here!”
Seeing this, he saw the two Core Formation True Persons moving towards them and immediately urged his Black-winged Eagle to leave quickly.
However, at this moment, the large black eagle beneath him had already begun to shriek in terror under the astonishing Aura from afar.
“Damn it, I’ve raised you for so long for nothing; you’re completely unreliable at crucial moments.”
Zhou Kuanglong looked at his pet mount, which was beginning to tremble, and couldn’t help but curse.
But he also knew that although his Black-winged Eagle had a High Grade Bloodline, it was only at the First Tier Late Stage.
Facing the terrifying Aura of Core Formation True Persons, it would instinctively feel fear.
Not to mention his pet, he himself was extremely panicked.
After all, this was a Core Formation True Persons’ fight.
Even a slight aftermath falling on him would leave him dead or crippled.
Immediately, he made the Black-winged Eagle land directly, preparing to find a place to hide.
Otherwise, being in the air was simply too conspicuous.
Perhaps he would be seen by the fighting Core Formation True Persons, deemed an eyesore, and casually killed.
In the night sky, the colorful-robed woman held a long sword, her Sword Qi swirling, causing sand and stones to fly and countless ripples to erupt wherever it passed.
“Hehehe, Yun Wanchang, you can’t escape. You’ve already been afflicted by my Red Phoenix Karma Fire; why don’t you obediently surrender!”
However, the red-robed old man’s body was enveloped in black-red mist, which gradually turned pink, causing the Sword Qi that landed on him to directly penetrate without any effect.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
Pink mist churned and spread around the old man, causing strong winds to rage and Spiritual Qi to become restless.
Within the pink mist, seductive sounds like those of men, women, old, and young constantly echoed, impacting one’s mind and involuntarily stirring one’s inner desires.
“Is this what a Core Formation True Person is like? Simply terrifying!”
As soon as Zhou Kuanglong landed, an aftermath fell near him.
The terrifying Qi current caused his blood and Qi to churn, and where the aftermath landed, a large pit several zhang wide directly appeared.
He not only had Qi Refining Peak cultivation but also cultivated Body Refining, yet at this moment, just a slight aftermath made him feel a sense of danger.
He swiftly ran towards another place, while watching the aftermath in the sky to avoid being hit by it.
If he were to die here like this, it would be an incredibly unjust and suffocating death.
After running for a long time, he saw in the night sky that the colorful-robed woman holding the long sword had an ancient mirror floating above her head.
This ancient mirror flowed with golden light, like a great sun in the night sky, suddenly shining onto the red-robed old man.
Immediately after, the long sword slashed, causing a bright and brilliant golden divine thunder to appear in the night sky.
“Ah—”
“Yun Wanchang, you actually managed to Cultivate the Divine Sword Imperial Thunder True Art!”
Facing the golden divine thunder, the red-robed old man let out a shrill scream, spitting out blood from his mouth.
“Yun Wanchang, Divine Sword Imperial Thunder True Art, could this colorful-robed woman be Qingyun Sect’s Immortal Master Caiyun!?”
“Who is this red-robed old man, daring to attack Immortal Master Caiyun in Qingyun Sect’s territory!?”
Zhou Kuanglong, who was in the forest, was terrified when he heard the Elder’s roar from the sky.
However, the next moment, he saw the red-robed Elder summon a small cauldron, from which red flames spread, scorching the sky and making it rain fire.
Zhou Kuanglong immediately turned pale with fright, and promptly took out a hammer-shaped Magical Artifact, smashed a cave into the nearby mountain wall, and hid himself inside.
At the same time, he took out an umbrella-shaped Magical Artifact to block the cave, preventing the fire rain from reaching him.
“It’s truly a case of Immortals fighting and Mortals suffering. To think that I, Zhou Kuanglong, am considered a figure of some standing, having seen all sorts of situations.”
“Yet, in front of this Core Formation True Person, I am nothing but an ant.”
Zhou Kuanglong was panting heavily inside the cave.
Following that, there was a violent shaking of the mountain outside, and after a long while, he felt that the commotion outside had mostly subsided.
Just as he was wondering whether to go out, he heard a conversation outside.
“Yun Wanchang, you are now being consumed by Red Phoenix Karma Fire. If you do not Dual Cultivate with me, you will surely die!”
“As long as you are willing to Dual Cultivate with me, using your Tongyu Fengsui Body to heal my injuries and aid my Cultivation, I, Hu Yanxiao, am willing to make a Heart Demon oath to be loyal to you from now on!”
An old and weak voice rang out.
“Red Phoenix Old Devil Hu Yanxiao!?”
Zhou Kuanglong immediately recognized the red-robed Elder’s identity upon hearing the conversation outside.
He was also a Core Formation True Person from Jiang Country.
He was a Loose Cultivator by origin, but due to his overbearing and uninhibited actions, he was also known as the Red Phoenix Old Devil.
He hadn’t expected that this Red Phoenix Old Devil would dare to attack a Qingyun Sect Core Formation True Person, and even want the latter to Dual Cultivate with him.
“Cough, cough, cough… You wish!”
A clear and cold voice rang out.
“If you don’t do this… the Karma Fire will surge, and once it erupts, both you and I will die here today.”
“The Red Phoenix True Scripture I Cultivate contains a Dual Cultivation secret art. As long as you are willing to become my Dao Companion, in the future, both of us might even have a chance to reach Nascent Soul!”
The Red Phoenix Old Devil’s voice was weak as he continued.
“Hmph, I’d rather die than let you… cough cough.”
Yun Wanchang’s clear and cold voice rang out, but it was now more urgent and breathless.
“You are already being consumed by the Red Phoenix Karma Fire. Let’s see how much longer you can suppress it, cough cough cough!”
The Red Phoenix Old Devil’s voice was weak and sinister.
“You, huff huff… why aren’t you coming out…”
Just then, Yun Wanchang’s voice grew louder, more urgent, and also carried a hint of allure.
Zhou Kuanglong, inside the cave, knew that the Fairy was referring to him.
Although he had Qi Refining Peak Cultivation, how could he possibly hide from this Core Formation True Person?
“There’s still someone? Cough cough…”
The Red Phoenix Old Devil’s voice turned a bit colder.
Zhou Kuanglong walked out of the cave and immediately saw a woman lying on the ground, dressed in a colorful, flowing gauze dress.
The woman looked to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with her beautiful hair lightly tied up and secured with a glass hairpin. Her stunning, captivating face was flushed with a peachy hue, her beautiful eyes were slightly blurred, and her vermilion lips were slightly parted, breathing softly.
Although he had only heard of her reputation, he had never seen her in person.
But at this moment, he knew that this graceful and peerless woman was Fairy Yun Wanchang of the Qingyun Sect.
Not far away, a coarse-faced, red-robed Elder lay on the ground.
He must be the Red Phoenix Old Devil.
This Old Devil looked utterly miserable at this moment.
Not only was he spitting blood, but there was also a large sword mark gaping hole in his chest, where golden Sword Qi could vaguely be seen raging within him, causing his entire Aura to be chaotic and making him struggle intensely.
“I am Elder Yun Wanchang of the Qingyun Sect. This person is the Red Phoenix Old Devil. As long as you help me eliminate him, my Qingyun Sect will surely reward you handsomely, huff, huff, huff~”
Yun Wanchang said to Zhou Kuanglong, but at this moment, her face was flushed, and speaking seemed very difficult for her.
“Kid, don’t listen to her. What benefits can her Qingyun Sect give you?”
“I see you’re only one step away from Foundation Establishment, right? You just need to carry her over to me and help me heal. Afterwards, I will take you as my disciple, help you reach Foundation Establishment, and even Core Formation might not be impossible!”
The Red Phoenix Old Devil, seeing this, immediately spoke quickly.
Zhou Kuanglong paused at their words, glancing at Yun Wanchang, then at the Red Phoenix Old Devil.
“Kid, don’t worry. I am willing to make a Heart Demon oath. As long as you are willing to lend me a hand, afterwards, even if I can’t guarantee you form a True Core, I will guarantee you form a False Core!”
The Red Phoenix Old Devil struck while the iron was hot.
“Senior, your words are true!”
Hearing this, Zhou Kuanglong trembled all over and spoke.
He embarked on the path of a rogue Cultivator precisely to strive for Foundation Establishment and become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
As for Core Formation, that was a realm he didn’t even dare to dream of.
Now, hearing the Red Phoenix Old Devil promise a False Core, he was immediately incredibly moved.
After all, the Qingyun Sect was completely out of his consideration.
If the Qingyun Sect knew about the things he had done in his identity, even if they pardoned him, he wouldn’t get any benefits.
“Huff, huff, huff, you, huff huff huff… how can you trust the words of such a Devil Head?”
Yun Wanchang saw that Zhou Kuanglong was actually siding with the Red Phoenix Old Devil, and a hint of panic appeared in her blurred beautiful eyes as she panted and spoke.
“I, Hu Yanxiao, have never broken an oath in my life. If you don’t believe me, cough cough cough, I can swear right now… I, Hu Yanxiao, swear that today…”
The Red Phoenix Old Devil lay on the ground, unable to move, but at this moment, he forcibly raised his palm and began to swear.
For Cultivators, Heart Demon oaths have a stronger binding effect the higher one’s Cultivation.
Seeing the latter swear, Zhou Kuanglong immediately knelt down to the Elder and said, “Disciple Zhou Kuanglong greets Master!”
“Cough cough cough, good, good, good, good disciple.”
“Quickly carry your Mistress over… She is currently entangled by my Red Phoenix Karma Fire, and her desire is like a surging tide. As long as I ignite it with my magical power, it will erupt instantly.”
The Red Phoenix Old Devil immediately grinned and spoke.
“Yes, Master!”
Zhou Kuanglong slightly cupped his hands and walked towards Yun Wanchang.
Seeing Zhou Kuanglong approaching, a hint of determination also appeared in Yun Wanchang’s eyes.
Her Cultivation Technique and Physique were special; if given time to recover, she could still suppress the Red Phoenix Karma Fire.
But she hadn’t expected that there happened to be a Cultivator nearby who chose to help the Red Phoenix Old Devil.
She could only sigh at her fate.
Immediately, she patted her Storage Pouch, which she used to suppress the Karma Fire, and a fist-sized purple pearl instantly appeared from the Storage Pouch.
“Huff huff huff!”
The pearl burst forth with light, filled with heavenly thunder and earthly fire, directly incinerating Zhou Kuanglong and the Red Phoenix Old Devil into ashes.
And at this moment, the last trace of clarity in Yun Wanchang’s beautiful eyes vanished. Her entire body rapidly became scorching hot, and her skin, like congealed white jade, turned tender pink at a visible speed.
And just then, in the midst of it all, she seemed to instinctively sense something and transformed into a divine rainbow, shooting out.
Meanwhile.
Not far away, inside a cave.
“Holy crap, it’s finally quiet. That power and commotion just now, what level of strength was that battle? It was too astonishing, wasn’t it?”
Lu Changsheng saw that there was no more movement outside, and it had completely quieted down. He couldn’t help but let out a long breath, letting go of the anxiety in his throat.
Anyone who was Cultivating peacefully late at night, only to suddenly hear a rumbling sound, with two people fighting and causing mountains to collapse and the earth to shake, would panic.
“Sigh, early tomorrow morning, once the Iron Feather Eagle recovers, I’ll go back as soon as possible. And in the future, I’ll try not to run back and forth between two places. I’ll just bring Miao Yun and Zhenzhen to Nine Dragon Market.”
“Otherwise, constantly running back and forth, I might encounter danger.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself, feeling that if he could avoid going out, he should try his best not to.
It was simply too dangerous outside.
However, just then, a fragrant breeze wafted in.
He saw a woman with an incredibly beautiful face, dressed in colorful flowing robes, appear before him at some unknown moment.
“Hmm!?”
Lu Changsheng was startled to see this suddenly appearing beautiful woman.
He hadn’t even realized how she had appeared.
This woman was Yun Wanchang.
Her face was flushed scarlet, and her beautiful eyes were as alluring as autumn water, filled with desire. She lunged directly at Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng was immediately pressed down by the woman and couldn’t move. He tried to struggle several times, but couldn’t break free at all.
He could clearly feel the woman’s body scorching hot.
It was as if a fierce fire was burning, and he knew that in her current state, she was either poisoned or suffering from Qi Deviation.
“Fairy, Fairy, Fairy, please compose yourself…”
Lu Changsheng called out twice, but the woman was disoriented and did not respond to his calls.
Instead, she pinned him down, and her rosy lips came to kiss him.
Who could withstand such a situation?
Looking at the Fairy’s peerlessly beautiful face before him, her mature and soft body pressed against him, and the intoxicating delicate fragrance, Lu Changsheng sighed slightly.
Since he couldn’t resist this, then he wouldn’t resist and chose to enjoy it.
Lu Changsheng simply lay flat on his back.
Then, a violent commotion erupted inside the cave, lasting for a moment, and then a Magical Robe was thrown out of the cave entrance.
After a while, several more items of clothing were thrown out, including the woman’s intimate personal garments.
