Martial Arts Immortal

…

Whoosh~

Whoosh~~

Lin Zheyu quickly shuttled through the mountain forest, staying away from the strange big tree.

On the red blood lotus, he sensed the aura that belonged exclusively to gods and demons. Now that aura merged into the big tree and came to life, giving him a strong sense of crisis.

"Isn't that thing marked on me?"

Such thoughts flashed through Lin Zheyu's mind.

He had interacted with the Jiuyou Sect, although not much, but he was deeply impressed by the Jiuyou Sect's methods of finding people.

The half-demon who was chasing him before had a tracking method beyond his knowledge. Until now, he still hasn't figured out how to use the Black Jade Plate.

No way, the knowledge circle is different.

Lin Zheyu knew too little about cultivating immortals, gods and demons, and demons.

"No matter what, let's go back first."

"In the recent period, when patrolling in the mountains, be careful not to stray too far from the city guard's defense line to prevent being targeted by inexplicable strong men again."

Lin Zheyu said secretly.

In the coming days, you have to be careful.

The blood lotus was obtained from Pei Xuan. Now that Pei Xuan is dead, the people behind him will definitely suspect that Lin Zheyu killed him.

If he is targeted by them again, the warriors sent next time will definitely be even more terrifying.

Enter the area of ​​responsibility.

Lin Zheyu found a deserted place and regained his original appearance.

This mission, the requirements for Lin Zheyu and the others are not very strict. They only need to assist the city guards and hold the defense line.

Hunting demon puppets and obtaining contribution points are additional tasks that can be done or not.

However, this time the official reward was extremely generous. The warriors were very motivated to hunt the demon puppets and would spontaneously go into the mountains to search for the demon puppets.

Lin Zheyu originally planned this.

He was very interested in the spiritual fluids and techniques on the exchange list.

What he didn't expect was that he would encounter this kind of thing on his first day.

Roar~

In the mountains and forests, the roars of ferocious beasts can be heard from time to time.

After rounds of cleaning by a large number of warriors, and the hunting of demon puppets at night, there were far fewer ferocious beasts in the forest.

Those who survived were either relatively weak beasts, or powerful beasts with excellent concealment and life-saving abilities.

A few kilometers away from the defense line, Lin Zheyu slowed down a lot.

At a distance of four to five kilometers, if there was any danger, whether it was asking for help or escaping, with Lin Zheyu's speed, there would be no problem.

"Catch a ferocious beast, go back and bake it to eat to pass the time."

Lin Zheyu heard the roar of the beast next to his ears, and this thought came to his mind.

He doesn't plan to go too far to hunt demon puppets. This mountain forest is not suitable for cultivation. It is a good choice to catch a ferocious beast and bring it back for barbecue.

Whoosh~~

Lin Zheyu's figure disappeared instantly and rushed towards the direction where the beast's roar came from just now.

Not long after, he came back carrying a giant beast more than three meters long.

Come to the mountains and forests outside the defense line.

Lin Zheyu met another acquaintance whom he met when he attended the martial arts exchange meeting at Wuji Villa.

After coming to Wuling City for so long, apart from the disciples of the Wuji Sect, Lin Zheyu had made the most friends at that time.

"Master Lin, I didn't expect to be assigned to the same area as you."

Li Yin said with a smile.

This is also a very unique woman.

The last time we met, the other person still had shoulder-length short hair, but now he has long hair, and his handsome temperament has a touch of feminine charm.

"Miss Li, long time no see."

Lin Zheyu greeted the other party with a smile.

He placed the ferocious beast on his shoulder on the ground and invited, "Miss Li, are you interested in roasting some meat together?"

"No."

"I just came here after eating. I'm not hungry."

Li Yin smiled and shook her head.

She took the long sword, walked a little further, and started practicing by herself in the open space next to her.

Li Yin practices the Thousand Threads Sword Technique, which can be either hard or soft. With one sword strike, it transforms into a thousand sword threads, which is very powerful.

Lin Zheyu looked at it curiously for a while and nodded approvingly.

As expected of Wuling City's famous genius, Li Yin's Thousand Silk Sword Technique has improved greatly compared to more than a year ago.

If Li Yin meets Heng Qiming from a year ago, there is a high chance that he can defeat him.

In other words, Li Yin's current strength already has the qualifications to be on the Hidden Dragon List.

Lin Zheyu used his knife blade to chop down several large trees for firewood.

This time he brought a small piece of red flame stone. Under the high temperature of the red flame stone, even wet wood can be easily ignited.

…

Cold Wind Tower.

Liang Cheng held the secret letter and entered it smoothly.

He waited in the lobby on the first floor for more than ten minutes when a middle-aged man with a smile walked in quickly.

"I've met Mr. Deng."

Liang Cheng saluted and handed over the secret letter in his hand: "This is the secret letter General Wei asked me to send to you."

"Good work."

"A little care is not a salute."

Deng Yuanzhi took the secret letter, took out a bottle containing elixirs from his arms, and handed it over.

"Thank you, Mr. Deng."

"If you don't have any instructions, I'll leave first." Liang Cheng took the jade bottle and said calmly.

"never mind."

"Please say thank you to General Wei."

Deng Yuanzhi said with a smile.

After Liang Cheng left, he opened the secret letter and took out the letter inside.

Looking at the information in the secret letter, Deng Yuanzhi couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, Huang Baizhong's most proud disciple would appear in the area that General Wei is responsible for."

"This is God's will..."

Deng Yuanzhi laughed and said, feeling quite good.

When he was young, he had a deep grudge with Huang Baizhong. Although it was not a feud, it was not easy to resolve.

"Shujie, I need you to run for something."

Deng Yuanzhi called the masters in the clan and said: "Go to the area where General Wei is responsible and teach Lin Zheyu of Wuji Sect a good lesson."

"Be gentle and don't hurt his life, otherwise Huang Baizhong will cause trouble and it will be difficult to deal with."

"Just break his limbs and let him lie in bed for a few months and miss the Qianlong Ranking Challenge."

Deng Yuanzhi said.

At the beginning, Huang Baizhong had slandered many of his descendants, and Deng Yuanzhi also wanted to let Huang Baizhong experience the feeling of being deposed as his most proud disciple.

"yes."

…

Night falls.

It's spring now, and at night, the temperature drops sharply, but it has no impact on a strong person like Lin Zheyu.

A gentle breeze blew by, rustling the trees.

Lin Zheyu sat on the wooden stake, roasting the meat of the ferocious beast leisurely in his left hand, and holding the roasted meat in his right hand, eating it with gusto.

"Mr. Lin, you've eaten for a whole day, isn't your stomach full?"

Li Yin looked at Lin Zheyu with a strange expression and couldn't help but say something.

During the day, she practiced swordsmanship in her spare time, while Lin Zheyu sat and barbecued while watching her practice for a whole day.

"good."

"I am born with good digestion and absorption, and I have a large appetite. When I was a child, I often didn't have enough to eat at home." Lin Zheyu said blindly.

Li Yin: "..."

Li Yin opened her mouth and swallowed what she wanted to say.

This appetite cannot be described as relatively large. It is simply a rice bucket among rice buckets. No ferocious beast can eat as much as him.

But she didn't know Lin Zheyu very well, so it would be a bit rude to say so.

Roar--

In the mountain forest, the roar of the demon puppet could be heard.

Li Yin's face showed a look of excitement, and she suggested: "The demon puppet is out to take action, Mr. Lin, do you want to come with us? If the two of us cooperate, it will be easier to hunt the demon puppet."

"I'm used to acting alone. I'm very sorry." Lin Zheyu smiled and refused.

"Young Master Lin, you're welcome."

"Then I'll go hunt the demon puppets first. See you later." Li Yin turned around with a smile and walked into the darkness with the long sword in hand.

Lin Zheyu watched Li Yin disappear from sight, unmoved, still sitting there by himself, roasting the beast's meat.

He glanced at the remaining half of the ferocious beast next to him, and murmured in a low voice: "After beating the rest, let's patrol along the defense line."

He planned to hang out like this for the next few days.

Half an hour later.

Lin Zheyu finished eating the rest of the barbecue and stood up slowly.

After eating barbecue all day, it’s time to walk around and digest it.

He touched his still flat stomach and couldn't help but sigh that his current digestion ability was really abnormal.

After eating barbecue for a day, I still feel unsatisfied.

"When you get stronger, catch a master-level ferocious beast, roast it and eat it to see how the master-level ferocious beast meat tastes."

Lin Zheyu muttered.

The stronger the beast, the more satiating it will be and the more energy it will provide.

It's a pity that this mountain forest will be raided by the strong men of the Wei Dynasty every once in a while. Ferocious beasts above Huajin level are very rare, let alone the Grandmaster level.

The most powerful beast Lin Zheyu has encountered so far is the ferocious beast at the level of marrow training.

Time passes slowly.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zheyu doesn't have to perform tasks every day. He rotates every two days and can rest for two days at a time.

In the past two days, he had only hunted one Demon Puppet of the Marrow Training Realm, and the forces behind the Blood Lotus did not come looking for him, which made him feel relieved.

"Miss Li, see you in two days."

Lin Zheyu said goodbye to Li Yin with a smile.

"See you in two days."

Li Yin nodded and replied.

Looking at Lin Zheyu's leaving figure, she looked a little strange.

"Are these peerless geniuses all so weird in temperament?" Li Yin couldn't help but mutter.

In the past two days, what she saw the most was Lin Zheyu sitting on a wooden stake, grilling the ferocious beasts he had hunted.

The other party doesn't seem to care much about hunting demon puppets.

Li Yin really couldn't figure out how a person with this kind of temperament could cultivate the true meaning of domineering.

"Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between a peerless genius and an ordinary person like me." Li Yin shook his head and said with a chuckle.

Li Yin was not the only one to have this idea.

Deng Shujie, who was hiding in the dark and eyeing Lin Zheyu, also had the same idea.

"Made, how can such a person cultivate the true meaning of domineering and even be ranked 24 on the Hidden Dragon List?"

Deng Shujie looked at Lin Zheyu's retreating figure and was quite speechless.

He had been watching in secret for a long time, planning to wait for Lin Zheyu to hunt the demon puppet and take action far away from the city guard's defense line, but he never found an opportunity.

This left him quite speechless.

"Forget it, take some risks and find a relatively remote place to do it." Deng Shujie thought to himself.

His figure disappeared in an instant and followed him quietly.

Lin Zheyu greeted General Wei and was not in a hurry to return to the sect.

Wow~~

The bright moonlight fell, and there were waves of silvery white ripples on the river.

Lin Zheyu stood by the river, the cold wind blowing on his face, bringing a slight chill.

"Isn't that guy going to take action?"

"If you don't take action, I will take the initiative."

Lin Zheyu looked diagonally behind him out of the corner of his eye and muttered in a low voice.

He came here just to lure out the people who were secretly watching him.

Lin Zheyu's perception is so powerful, even if it is not within his perception field, his perception is not comparable to that of ordinary warriors.

On the second day of the mission, Lin Zheyu discovered that someone was secretly watching him secretly.

However, in order not to reveal his strength, and to prevent alerting others, he always pretended not to notice.

"A warrior at the Huajin level who doesn't have the aura of Yin evil power on his body, and who dares to chase him so close to Wuling City, is probably not a member of the cult."

"It shouldn't capsize in the gutter, right?"

Lin Zheyu whispered.

For two days, he pretended to inadvertently approach the opponent within a range of 200 meters, allowing the opponent to enter his perception field and find out the opponent's strength.

While Lin Zheyu was waiting for the other party to make a move, Deng Shujie, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Lin Zheyu in confusion.

"What is this kid doing here?"

"With his strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to discover my traces. If he does, it is even less likely to lead me here. This is no different than seeking death."

"Is it possible that he came here to meet someone?"

Deng Shujie thought to himself, feeling that he might have discovered some secret, and it would be even less likely that he would show up.

Lin Zheyu walked around the river and after making sure there was no one around, he shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, I'll take the initiative."

Lin Zheyu said secretly.

He pretended to be nonchalant and walked toward the other party's hidden location, not very fast, as if he was just walking around with nothing to do.

Less than a hundred meters away from the opponent, Lin Zheyu moved.

boom!

The energy and blood in his body exploded. Lin Zheyu's speed instantly surged to a terrifying level that exceeded the speed of sound, and a terrifying sonic boom sounded.

Deng Shujie's expression changed, and he felt something bad.

Huge amounts of true energy surged out of the body and quickly condensed into a thick energy shield outside the body.

He didn't know why he did this. The other party was obviously just a martial artist in the marrow training realm, but he actually let him smell the breath of death.

"No, that's not right, how can the Marrow Realm have such terrifying speed!"

"He's not Lin Zheyu, who the hell is this guy!"

Deng Shujie looked horrified.

As soon as he opened the Zhenjin shield, he saw a terrifying purple sword light striking towards his head.

The speed of the sword light is simply unimaginable.

Deng Shujie had a bad feeling in his heart and saw the sword light approaching.

He could only raise his hands to block reflexively while opening the Zhenjin shield.

puff--

The purple thunder demon-slaying knife easily broke through Deng Shujie's energy shield, and with a pop, like cutting tofu, it was directly split into two halves in Deng Shujie's horrified and disbelieving eyes.

Bang——

The two bodies fell to the ground with a banging sound.

Deng Shujie's head was wide-eyed, and he didn't expect that he would die so useless.

"A trash with such strength dares to assassinate me."

"Except for the unknown demon god's power, I shouldn't have offended anyone else. Is this guy an enemy of the Wuji Sect or the master?"

Lin Zheyu looked at the corpse on the ground and speculated in his mind.

He squatted down and groped for a while on the other person's body, but couldn't find anything identifying him.

From the man's body, he only found two bottles of spiritual liquid, some silver coins, and several bottles of elixirs.

"Two bottles of spiritual liquid, so-so."

"These warriors at the Huajin level are very rich, and they all carry precious items like spiritual liquid with them."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

Lin Zheyu didn't have the slightest fear or disgust towards these killers at the level of strength. Instead, he felt that the more the better.

But it’s only limited to the Huajin level.

No matter how strong it is, it would be rude.

Sending a master-level expert to deal with a little guy like him in the Marrow Training Realm is really too much.

After seeing Brother Jiang Jun's magical weapon, Lin Zheyu didn't want to meet a master-level master at all.

According to the senior brother, after being promoted to Grand Master, you need to register with Si Tianjian, become a member of Si Tianjian, and receive your own magic weapon.

A powerful master without a magical weapon, with Lin Zheyu's current strength, there is still hope of defeating the opponent, and at the worst, he can escape with his life.

But if the other party holds a magic weapon, Lin Zheyu is no match for them.

Phew~

After throwing the opponent's body into the river, Lin Zheyu turned and walked towards Wuling City.

Four days have passed since the last time I broke through the limit.

It's time to harvest a wave of energy.

"With my current physical recovery ability, after breaking through the limit and eating with an open stomach, I can return to my peak in less than three days."

"It's a pity that the spirit cannot be recovered so easily, otherwise the time interval for breaking through the limit would be shortened."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

His physique was further improved by reshaping his bones with golden energy and blood, practicing the Furnace Body Tempering Technique, and then being tempered by the Hunyuan Wuji True Technique.

Both physical strength and recovery ability have reached an extremely astonishing level.

Unfortunately, in terms of spirit and soul, although he has become much stronger, his recovery is as slow as before.

Lin Zheyu even felt that four days was only enough for his spirit and soul to completely recover to its peak.

This was only possible with the simultaneous action of the Holy Yan Yunling Technique, the Turtle Breath True Technique, and the True Health Technique, all of which enabled him to recover so quickly.

Otherwise, for such a strong spiritual soul, the recovery time will be even longer.

Lin Zheyu was not in a hurry to return to the sect.

He came to the rented courtyard and began to practice the Furnace Tempering Technique. Although the potential of this technique was exhausted, the effect on strengthening the body was minimal.

But in terms of consuming qi and blood, it is difficult to match other techniques.

While practicing, it can also consume both physical strength and spiritual soul, killing two birds with one stone.

Rumble~~

The huge qi and blood energy started to circulate, and Lin Zheyu could hear the rumbling sound coming from his body.

A faint golden energy and blood filled the air, condensing into a golden dragon of energy and blood around him.

Time passes slowly.

More than an hour later, Lin Zheyu stopped practicing.

Under the crazy operation of the furnace body tempering skill, five times the energy of blood and blood of ordinary people was completely consumed. At the same time, both physical strength and mental energy were consumed a lot.

"Hurry back to the sect and continue training. Otherwise, if you delay for a while, your physical strength will be restored a lot."

"After your body becomes stronger, every time you break through the limit, the difficulty becomes higher and higher. You have to find a more suitable training environment."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

The deep pool of the waterfall in the mountain behind the sect was not deep enough, and the pressure on him was not strong enough. It would be better if he moved to a deeper place.

But there are no deeper places in Wuling City. You need to look for them in the mountains.

Lin Zheyu felt that he might be targeted by the unknown demonic force. It was extremely dangerous to break through the limits in the deep mountains.

The best solution is to find it from the means of cultivating immortals.

The real hair of immortal cultivators is extremely magical. It may have a formation that can increase gravity and increase pressure, specifically for cultivation.

It's a pity that Lin Zheyu currently doesn't have access to people on this level.

"Uncle Master!"

"I've met Uncle Master!"

"Hello, uncle!"

When we came to the deep pool of the back mountain waterfall, there were many inner disciples practicing late at night.

Lin Zheyu smiled and nodded to them, took off his clothes, jumped into the deep pool.

"Uncle Master worked too hard, and he deserves to be so great." Some people couldn't help but sigh.

"People who are more talented than us work harder than us. It's really hard to live with."

"Grandma, no rest, I'll practice for a while longer."

The disciple who was just about to take a rest gritted his teeth and started a new round of practice.

…

Time flies, and another five days have passed.

Lin Zheyu was as steady as an old dog. When performing his mission, he spent most of the day eating barbecue, and at night he only hunted near the city guard's defense line.

Never leave the city guard's defense line too far.

crackle~

In the campfire, the juices in the wet wood exploded under the flames.

Lin Zheyu was grilling meat and playing with the Qianlong Token in his hand.

【God rewards those who work hard】

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 5

Skill:

Holy Spiritual Energy (Second Level 0%)

Hunyuan Wuji True Skill (Third Level 0%)

"I have practiced all four health-preserving techniques to the perfection of the essence training state. The forty-two true meanings are about to reach my limit."

"If I continue to practice, it will exceed the level that my current spiritual soul can suppress. By then, under the influence of so many different true intentions, I will probably have mental problems."

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness and thought about his next plan.

The technique is no longer suitable for continued practice, and his current mental strength is not suitable for condensing more true meaning.

"There are so many true meanings, probably unprecedented and unprecedented, right?"

"But it's probably not easy to integrate so much true meaning into true strength. Five units of source power is simply not enough."

"Wait for a while..."

"Well, let's accumulate the source power to 100 units first."

"If you still can't find the opportunity, you can take advantage of the opportunity to hunt demon puppets, enter the mountains, and then create a crisis for yourself..."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

After accumulating one hundred units of source power, and entering the deep mountains, he would crush the Hidden Dragon Token in his hand, and then use the source power to break through the level of energy at once.

Then he hid in the mountains for a while and then came out, making up a reason why he was in crisis and had to break through.

"Although the rationality is not that strong, it still makes sense..." Lin Zheyu said secretly.

If you can't find a better reason, that's all you can do.

Lin Zheyu didn't want to give up his identity as the Wuji Sect. This was the way he knew so far to get in touch with the world of immortal cultivators.

…

Wuling City.

Deng family.

Deng Yuanzhi frowned and looked gloomy.

"Report!"

After a while, Liang Cheng walked in quickly.

Before he could speak, Deng Yuanzhi immediately asked: "Is there no news about Shujie yet?"

"Sir, yes... yes."

"This morning someone found a body in the lower reaches of the Chuanbei River. After confirmation by the county government, they found that it was a member of our Deng family."

"That corpse is... that of Lord Deng Shujie."

Liang Cheng said in a panic.

Bang!

When Deng Yuanzhi heard this, he couldn't help but slapped the table to pieces.

"Has the cause of death been found?"

Deng Yuanzhi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"He was killed from the front with a knife."

"That man was very strong. Lord Deng Shujie showed no signs of counterattack at all. He was killed with one blow."

"It is speculated that that person has at least the strength of a master level."

Liang Cheng said quickly.

"Grandmaster?"

"how come!"

"Now most of the powerful masters have been transferred away by Si Tianjian. How can there be so many powerful masters left."

"Could it be Ye Xiu?"

"Or is it that Shujie was unlucky and met a strong man from the Nine Nether Sect and the barbarians who lurked in?" Deng Yuanzhi frowned.

He was in a very bad mood.

The original plan was just to let Deng Shujie take action and teach Huang Baizhong's proud disciple to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen.

"What has Lin Zheyu been doing recently?" Deng Yuanzhi asked with a frown.

"It's still the same as before, roasting ferocious beast meat during the day, and only patrolling near the city guard's defense line at night." Liang Cheng said.

"Made."

"How can such a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death have such a character to condense the true meaning of domineering, how can he be ranked 24th on the Hidden Dragon List?"

Deng Yuanzhi couldn't help but curse.

In his opinion, if this kid wasn't so greedy for life and fear of death, Deng Shujie would have succeeded long ago.

There will be no chance of encountering a powerful master and dying unexpectedly.

"Lin Zheyu..."

"Huang Baizhong...Lin Zheyu...you masters and disciples all deserve to die!" Deng Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and said with strong murderous intent in his eyes.

His face was gloomy and he was silent for a while before standing up.

"I'm going out."

"When Wen Jue comes back, ask him to look for me in the study at night." Deng Yuanzhi ordered.

"Yes, sir."

…
