Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - Deacon Liu's temptation
Early the next morning.
"Huh...!"
Zhao Heng exhaled a turbid breath from his mouth, collecting energy and gathering breath.
Overnight, he had recovered from his injuries and was full of energy and blood again.
In addition to benefiting from the healing drugs he took, it was mainly the transformed Qingsong Jue, which could attract many of heaven and earth's mysterious qi and nourish the body.
However, a warrior who "quenches the body and forgets the bones" cannot retain the mysterious qi in his body, but can only quench the physical body.
Only those who refine the dirty realm, after the internal organs are tempered, can form a special cycle to store a small amount of mysterious qi.
It is said that those innate martial arts can blend the mysterious qi with the physique, release and retract, do whatever they want, and perform various secret techniques against the sky.
However, the innate martial artist is too far away from Zhao Heng. In the Yuhua Sect, only the inner disciples who have obtained the true biography can reach the innate realm.
Calming his short and complicated thoughts, Zhao Heng opened his eyes.
The cave was quiet, and there was no movement at all.
He looked back and saw that Yun Qingxue was no longer in the cave, but there was an extra package and a note beside him.
He picked up the note and looked, leaving a few lines of beautiful handwriting on it.
"The things in the package are your reward last night."
The corners of Zhao Heng's mouth moved slightly, and his heart was awkward when he said this.
Yun Qingxue also wrote: "Zhao Heng, I owe you a favor. If you need help in the future, you can go to Qingxiafeng to find me."
Putting down the note, Zhao Heng opened the package, and his eyes were a pile of blue and barking low-level mysterious crystals, enough for a hundred pieces.
In addition, in the Xuanjing, there is also a jade bottle with the words "Quenched body Pill" engraved on the bottle.
Zhao Heng's gaze condensed, and he quickly opened the stopper of the bottle, poured out a red and crystal pill, and smelled a refreshing aroma.
"It's quenched body pill!"
Zhao Heng was surprised. The quenched body pill is much more advanced than the average quenched body potion. One is worth nearly two hundred Xuanjing. It is said that it has an excellent effect on the improvement of the skills of the acquired martial artist.
Yun Qingxue deserves to be a strong man in the refining realm and directly left such a large amount of wealth for herself.
"This woman is so generous!"
Zhao Heng hurriedly put away Xuanjing and the pill and carried his bags with him.
Then he didn't leave in a hurry but looked around in the cave.
The body of the man in black had already been cleaned up by Yun Qingxue, and Zhao Heng removed all the traces he had left one by one.
During the inspection, he made an unexpected discovery.
In a dark corner of the cave, Zhao Heng picked up a dark green book with the word "Poison Sutra" written on it. What is recorded in it is the configuration method of some poisons.
Zhao Heng guessed that it was most likely that the man in black fell while fighting with himself last night.
The use of poison has always been the usual method used by people in the Demon Dao, and it is disdainful of the martial arts of the right path.
But Zhao Heng quietly put this "poison Sutra" in his arms.
In his heart, all the right paths and magic paths are the same. What can save his life and relieve his anxiety are good things.
The quicklime and corpse powder are very easy to use.
After reviewing it and confirming that there were no mistakes, Zhao Heng got out of the cave.
Looking at the rising sun outside the cave, Zhao Heng couldn't help sighing when he thought of the two great wars he experienced last night and the healing of Yun Qingxue.
"This sun... is so big and round!"
After leaving the cave, Zhao Heng did not rush back to the sect immediately but first went to the foot of Niujiaoshan Mountain to pick herbs and complete the task Du Changqing had collected.
As a handyman disciple, some tasks must be achieved every month.
Whether it is daily task mining or this kind of out-of-office task, it must be counted in it. If it does not meet the standards, it will be punished.
Fortunately, Zhao Heng was now in good health, and he quickly completed the picking task and rushed back to the sect before sunset.
He delivered the task as soon as possible, but on the way back to the handyman Peak, he saw a familiar fat figure standing in a shadow.
"Deacon Liu!"
Zhao Heng's heart tightened, trying to bypass the opponent, but it was too late.
Liu Hong had already seen him and walked towards him.
Seeing Zhao Heng safe and sound, and appearing here alone, Liu Hong's eyes showed surprise and astonishment.
"Zhao Heng, I remember you went on a mission with Du Changqing. Why did you come back alone?""
Zhao Heng didn't panic either and immediately showed a sad expression on his face.
"Brother Du, he...is dead!"
"Dead?"
"We were collecting medicine in Niujiaoshan and were attacked by mysterious beasts. To save me, Brother Zhao singled out a group of mysterious beasts and was separated by those beasts. I was also lucky and escaped back."
Hearing this, Liu Hong looked suspicious and tentatively said, "Then have you ever seen Deng Xing? He also went to Niujiaoshan to perform a mission yesterday."
"Brother Deng, I haven't seen it before."Zhao Heng looked blank.
During the exchange between the two, Liu Hong kept staring at Zhao Heng's expression, but still couldn't see the slightest flaw.
After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back first."
"Deacon Liu, farewell!"Zhao Heng turned around and left.
But he just took a step.
"Huh...!"
Suddenly a strong wind came from behind and hit the back of his head.,
Zhao Heng was taken aback, and the power of qi and blood in his body exploded, like a cheetah, and he suddenly moved sideways to dodge, avoiding the blow.
"Deacon Liu, are you...?"
Zhao Heng looked back at Liu Hong in surprise.
The latter retracted his palm at this moment and looked at Zhao Heng with a weird expression.
"Zhao Heng, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your cultivation base has grown so fast. I'm afraid you have reached the sixth level of quenching body state.
I remember you a month ago, you were still in the fourth level of physical state."
Zhao Heng's expression changed, but he didn't expect Deacon Liu to be so cunning.
Even if he was seen through the cultivation base, he still smiled and said, "Deacon Liu, you are joking. The boy is also lucky. This time, he picked an unknown fruit in Niujiaoshan. After swallowing it, the cultivation base will be automatically upgraded."
Liu Hongpi said without a smile: "That's it, you are so lucky, okay, you can go back."
Zhao Heng hurriedly said goodbye and left, and the moment he turned around, the expressions of both of them became extremely gloomy.
Zhao Heng rushed back to the dormitory, closed the door tightly, and began to pace back and forth in the room again.
His delusions began to attack again, and he was in a very anxious mood.
Thinking of Liu Hong's cold expression when he left, Zhao Heng was a little restless.
He knew that Liu Hong had become suspicious of himself, and with this person's cruelty, he was likely to attack him again.
Zhao Heng couldn't help but think that if Liu Hong could "disappear forever", he would no longer be anxious.
But the opponent is a deacon of the sect, or a strong man in the realm of bone forging, with his current strength, he can't compete with it at all.
"Strength, I must improve my strength as soon as possible!
If I can break through the realm of bone forging and become an outer disciple, Deacon Liu can't do anything about me, and then find another opportunity to let him disappear, and I can rest easy."
Now with the help of the Taoist dice, Zhao Heng has gradually gained confidence in himself.
...
In the following days, Zhao Heng began to actively prepare.
He did not go to the mining area to report, but took out tasks every day, completing tasks to earn Xuanjing.
As soon as he had time, he practiced the Qingsong Jue, while studying the "Cracked Stone Boxing Technique" and the "Poison Sutra".
In addition, it is to shake the dice once a day and take a chance.
In addition to the one hundred Xuanjing that Yun Qingxue gave him, and the Xuanjing that he had obtained from Deng Xing and Du Changqing before, he had a total of one hundred and sixty Xuanjing.
In this way, nine days have passed.
On this day, a handyman disciple sent by Deacon Liu finally found Zhao Heng.
Someone told Zhao Heng that he hadn't been to the mining area to report for nine days.
According to the rules, handymen in the mining area must report every ten days.
Upon receiving this news, Zhao Heng was not surprised. He had expected that Deacon Liu would not let him go. This time, he would start with himself!
Although he has practiced diligently these days and his cultivation base has improved, he still has not been able to break through the seventh level of the physical realm.
The situation is not optimistic, he knows that he must prepare for the second hand.
But there is only one day, what can I do?
Zhao Heng thought of dice for the first time.
In addition, today, for nine days, Zhao Heng rolled the dice once a day, stealing randomly every time, but not once did he steal anything of value.
"Shake it a little more, you can get luck, maybe you can get something good!"
Time was running out, so Zhao Heng decisively took out the dice, consumed ten Xuanjing, and shook it again.
Sure enough, it was a little bit more.
Stealing x10 can be used to steal luck once.
Zhao Heng hesitated for a moment and did not use it immediately.
After using this skill so many times, he has also accumulated some experience.
Being in the peak of handyman, the resources are barren, even if you use Qi luck to steal, it is estimated that you will not get anything good.
It's better to take the initiative to go to some places where Depot has a greater chance and artificially adjust the probability.
As soon as he said, Zhao Heng immediately walked down Handyman Peak and headed towards "Danquan Peak", one of the nine peaks of the sect.
Danquan Peak is the base of the Yuhua Sect, the Alchemy Sect. There is a master alchemist of the sect who opens a furnace for alchemy at the top of the peak.
Zhao Heng's idea is very simple. If you use Qi luck to steal around Danquan Peak, you might be able to get some panacea and make yourself a great advance in cultivation.
However, as a handyman disciple, Zhao Heng could not enter Danquan Peak without a special task.
He could only find a secret place close to the peak at the foot of Danquan Peak.
Seeing no one around, Zhao Heng meditated in his heart.
"Use Qi luck to steal."
"Om...!"
With a flash of silver light in the center of his eyebrows.
"Pat...!"
On the ground in front of Zhao Heng, a slap-sized tip fell.
