Chapter 220 It Works! ?
Next to the manor's gate, there is a relatively low wooden house, which was originally the residence of the gatekeeper...
However, in the past few days, Zhao Qing used it as a quiet room for practice, and it was equipped with all the necessary soft and spiritual formations.
He did this just to verify one thing.
As a traveler in the world, Ji Meng can invoke the way of the sea of clouds to protect himself and use illusions to confuse senior masters from various sects.
As for me, I carry the Azure Dragon Seal. Although my status is much lower than that of a world traveler, it is still not comparable to that of an ordinary garrison...
At least, my luck is much better than Shen Mo's.
But it is obvious that luck is an illusory concept that can only exist passively and occasionally play a role.
They are far inferior to those two world walkers who can actively trigger the power of their own veins...
Zhao Qing has been thinking about one thing these days.
"Can the Blood Robe lineage's luck protection be more proactive?"
in other words……
If I am lucky, what should I do now to make it work as it should?
Wisps of smoke drifted from the heater beside her. Xiaoyi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her slender hands subconsciously waved in the smoke.
She was only wearing a thin undergarment, with her three thousand strands of black hair hanging loosely. She had been building her foundation in this small wooden house for the past few days.
The woman said softly, "Zeng Nianke has managed the Blood Robe Commercial Building in perfect order. You can count yourself lucky if you just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor."
"For cultivators, if they want to profit from their luck... exploring ancient sites, encountering opportunities, and searching for rare treasures are the most direct ways."
Zhao Qing kept nodding.
Indeed...it is more practical to go to the next copy.
“It would be great if good things could continue to happen while I’m practicing peacefully at home.”
The woman's beautiful eyes flickered as she casually took the chessboard from the side and handed the bamboo basket containing the black chess pieces to Zhao Qing. She chuckled and said, "That's a nice thought."
Zhao Qing picked up the two black pieces, took the cup handed to him by Xiaoyi, and turned his attention to the chessboard.
"Clap!"
"Clap!"
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of chess pieces falling onto the board.
……
At the same time, in the heart of Songshan.
The winding underground cave was littered with bloody corpses.
In the dark corridor, torches burned brightly, illuminating a slowly moving figure... twisting and dancing wildly with the flickering flames.
Sun Binghao, a disciple of the Sun family in Songshan County, has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.
At this moment, he held a heavy halberd in his hand, his eyes full of murderous intent, and went deeper into the spiritual mine cave step by step.
The young man had an extremely ferocious look on his face, with veins bulging on his neck, and a strange jade pendant sparkling on his chest.
Six years ago, he found this jade pendant among his father's belongings.
Thus, he learned the true background of the Sun family... The ancestors of the Sun family were not from the Chu State, but came from the extremely distant Leihuangzhou!
Leihuangzhou, Sun family!
The master in the jade pendant is an elder of the Sun family in Leihuangzhou!
He was a great Nascent Soul cultivator during his lifetime. After his death, the remaining infant named himself Lingyu. It was not until recent years that he revived and is now looking for an opportunity to possess another body.
An old voice echoed in my ears: "To the west, dig another ten feet."
A hint of hesitation flashed across the young man's face, but soon he thrust the heavy halberd in his hand into the spiritual vein.
Boom!
Fierce noises echoed in the deep and winding corridors, but there was no one alive behind him, and no one would know that he had ever been to the family mine.
In just the time it takes to stick up an incense stick, the ten-zhang spiritual vein was shattered by the young man, and the low-grade spiritual ore on the ground emitted a weak spiritual energy... After being divided, it was worth at least hundreds of spiritual stones.
But his gaze never lingered, fixed on the bright light before him.
A crystal clear spiritual mine hangs upside down, emitting majestic and vast spiritual fluctuations.
Medium-grade spiritual ore! ?
The master's laughter came to my ears: "Top grade."
"Just one is counted as 10,000 spirit stones."
Ten thousand spirit stones!
Without saying a word, the young man grasped the spiritual ore in front of him with his big hand in an instant. The condensed spiritual energy surged out from his dantian, and he directly took out this piece of high-quality ore.
He exclaimed in a low voice: "Such a rich spiritual energy!"
The old voice laughed and said, "First find a commercial building and exchange them for medium-grade spirit stones. Be careful not to be targeted."
"Disciple understands..."
Sun Binghao put away the tools he had used in the crime, and used his spiritual energy to destroy the corridor in front of him. He then left the mine along the winding underground tunnel.
The mountains were covered with heavy snow and the cold wind was howling.
The young man had a blank expression on his face, and his defiant eyes looked around, aware of all potential dangers.
Only after his master confirmed that no one was following him did he activate the Wind Control Talisman and rush back to the Sun family's back mountain...
His father's tombstone stood quietly in the wind and snow. Sun Binghao waved his hand to wipe away the snow under the tombstone, then pried the wooden board and hid back in the shelter that had been prepared long ago.
With these spirit stones, he could practice the soul-devouring technique passed down by his master, giving birth to his spiritual consciousness, and advancement to the late stage of Qi Refining was just around the corner.
It was pitch dark in the tomb, and only the jade pendant emitted a strange light.
"The materials to complete the Soul Refining Banner cannot be purchased at Songshanfang..."
"We can prepare some more elixir for body tempering."
He pushed open the coffin beside him, spread a bloody banner on the dry bones, and then hid a piece of stolen high-grade spiritual ore inside it.
The unusual movements in the Songshan Crypt will soon be known to the clan. Before that... I have to rush back home as soon as possible to avoid arousing suspicion.
A moment later, in the front yard of the Sun family.
The boy had a calm expression, lowered his head and walked slowly towards his room.
"After two years of not seeing each other, even I can't see through Binghao's strength!"
A middle-aged man was talking to the people around him with a smile, and Sun Binghao bowed his head.
"Binghao meets uncle."
The middle-aged male cultivator in front of him was only at the fifth level of Qi training. His name was Sun Liancheng, and he was a disciple from the side branch of the Sun family.
Since he had no say at home, he practiced outside all year round... in Changshengfang, which was also in Songshan County, and would only return home during the New Year.
Sun Liancheng looked at the young man in front of him, and the more he looked, the more he liked him.
In my lineage... only my second brother's son has some talent.
He smiled and said, "Wait until the New Year. Come with me to the Changshengfang to hone your skills for a few days and I'll introduce you to a woman."
"Female cultivator?"
The young man's eyes flickered, and he asked softly, "What kind of cultivation?"
"Well... Pan'er's cultivation level is not high, but he is younger than you and is practicing in the Changsheng Sword Sect."
Sun Binghao bowed his head and thanked him, thinking that good things would indeed come one after another after his strength increased... However, if his cultivation was too low, he would not be qualified to enter his soul refining banner.
While thinking, he pushed open the door of his room.
Unexpectedly, a sweet fragrance lingered in the air, and the young man's face showed joy: "Sister! You are finally back!"
On the small couch in the room, a beautiful woman was looking at him with a smile.
Sun Qian shook her head and smiled, "Still so reckless."
"Hey, I brought you twenty Soul Forging Pills."
There are only twenty...
The young man took the pill and turned to look at the woman in front of him.
After their parents passed away, they were left alone to depend on each other. However, due to the suppression of the direct line, the elder sister was forced to leave the Sun family and join the sect to practice.
A hint of doubt flashed in his sword eyes: "Why did sister come back so early this year?"
The woman looked embarrassed.
He sighed softly, "I might have to leave the country."
"Leaving the country?"
"Why?"
Sun Binghao closed the door and looked up and down at the woman's figure through the bronze mirror.
Sun Qian took a deep breath, but hesitated to speak.
She wanted to follow Senior Brother Lu Zheng and Elder Pei Jin to Li Country...but the specific reason was still unknown.
"It's the sect's business." The woman said with a smile.
She stood up and stood in front of the young man, who was a head taller than her. She stretched out her slender hand to straighten his clothes. "I don't know if you can come back next year, and I'm worried that you won't be able to live well at home."
The young man said gently, "Don't worry, sister."
"Uncle Liancheng just said he would take me to Changshengfang for training."
Sun Qian sighed softly, "I heard it."
"It's a pity that my sister can't wait until the New Year. Otherwise, I could accompany you to see the female cultivator that my uncle introduced and help you check it out."
At this time...
The woman's eyes trembled, and she lowered her head to carefully examine the bloodstains on her brother's hands. She asked suspiciously, "Are you fighting with others again?!"
She looked up and down with her beautiful eyes, leaning forward slightly to smell the fishy smell.
The pungent stench made her want to vomit. It was like a rotten fish that had been rotting for months, or like an animal that had just been slaughtered in the kitchen.
"what is this?"
Sun Qian pulled out a jade pendant from her brother's collar. It was icy cold to the touch and no one knew what material it was made of.
The boy snatched it away, stuffed it back into his shirt, and said hastily, "Nothing... nothing."
"The other day, I followed the Zheng family's disciples to the mountains to hunt monsters, and I accidentally scratched myself."
Just at this moment!
There were shouts coming from outside the room.
"There's an accident in the mine!"
"Everyone's dead! Everyone's dead!"
"Homeowner!"
Hearing the mournful howl outside the door, Sun Binghao's expression changed instantly, but his sister was still in front of him...
He asked in surprise, "The mine was robbed by the Zheng family!?"
Sun Qian frowned slightly: "The mine belongs to the direct lineage, why are you shouting along?"
In an instant, Sun Qian realized that something was wrong with her brother.
That strange, icy jade pendant...
Bloodstains on hands and shoulders...
And this stinking thing...
She whispered, "You stink so much, where did you go?"
Sun Binghao smiled bitterly and said nothing.
The next moment, his body suddenly tensed up, and his storage ring was already in his sister's hands.
There are also spirit stones, elixirs and various talismans collected from casual cultivators!
In an instant, Sun Binghao's mind sank to the bottom, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
The woman in front of him checked the storage ring without changing her expression, and then threw it into the makeup box under the window.
Sun Qian looked at her younger brother with a smile: "You've grown up..."
She took off her storage ring and placed it on the boy's hand. Then she leaned forward and said with a smile, "Go take a shower and change clothes. Come with me to the market later. It's been a while since you came back."
Heavy snow was falling outside the window. Sun Binghao glanced at his storage ring under the window, then took a deep breath and walked out of the room.
It seems... my sister has discovered my secret.
As the year draws to a close, most of the Sun family's disciples who were originally away have returned. The young man walked through the noisy crowd, listening to people around him talking about the tragic situation in the mine, and couldn't help but show a sad look on his face.
Everyone died, no matter if they were disciples of the Sun family or ordinary cultivators. No one survived in the mine... How cruel!
Fortunately, the collateral disciples had no right to enter the mine, so he would never die in the mine.
