Chapter 544 Once a young man
After the four divided the spoils, they fled quickly to prevent more demonic insects from being attracted by the bloody smell of the same kind.
In the next half month, Lu Xuan and Sun Yunming had been patrolling the edge of Black Star City. During this period, they occasionally encountered alienated monsters that had lost their minds due to the influence of demons from the outside world, and the four of them worked together to deal with them.
The mission deadline has expired, and the four of them returned to Black Star City. After passing the inspection by the monks outside the protective formation, they entered the city.
"Finally returned safely."
The four of them looked at each other, and their tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
Outside the city, you never know when a monster will attack you, so you need to be on guard at all times and never relax for a moment.
After returning to the city, it was time to breathe and relax.
"Thanks to Senior Brother Lu being here this time, otherwise it would be difficult to return to Black Star City intact."
Meng Yue said suddenly.
"That's right. I didn't expect that Senior Brother Lu, a spiritual planter who rarely goes out to explore secret realms, would be so powerful. It's really beyond my expectation."
Sun Yunming said with a smile.
Among the four, he has the most ordinary background, the lowest cultivation level, and the fewest treasures on his body. He is extremely lucky to meet such a powerful teammate as Lu Xuan and come back safely.
"When you have time, come over and ask Senior Brother for some advice on the art of swordsmanship."
Qiu Changyuan suddenly said something.
"welcome."
Lu Xuan smiled heartily.
"Those three fellow Taoists, shall we say goodbye?"
"Goodbye!"
The four of them parted ways, and when Lu Xuan was about to return to the small courtyard where he was, suddenly, an old voice sounded in his ears.
"Senior Brother Lu, please stay!"
He looked back and saw the thin old man coming behind him at some point, and in a few steps he came in front of him.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, what else is important?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that during the search and cleanup, Senior Brother obtained a lot of monster materials. Considering that this is your first time coming to Black Star City, you may not know much about the city. I want to introduce you to some ways, Senior Brother Lu, and change your spirit. stone."
"The Qingyuan Gate where I am located is near Black Star City. I should be relatively familiar with the doorways inside."
Sun Yunming said with a smile, his tone a bit flattering.
"Is that so? Then we will have to trouble Sun Daoyou."
Lu Xuan's thoughts drifted away and he nodded in agreement.
He had just arrived and didn't know much about Black Star City. As Sun Yunming was a local leader, the two of them had experience forming a team. With him leading the way, they could save a lot of time and energy in exchange for more spiritual stones.
"Then Senior Brother Lu, please come with me."
The smile on the old man's face became even greater. This time with Lu Xuan and his party, he saw the extraordinary qualities of this spiritual planter from a large sect in front of him. He had superb swordsmanship and a strong fortune. He casually offered three fourth-grade sword talismans, plus Being kind to people, he had the idea of getting acquainted with them.
He used this guise to get close to Lu Xuan and consolidate the relationship between the two.
The two of them walked slowly through the streets of Black Star City.
"This is where casual cultivators set up stalls. Most of them are Qi cultivators. If Senior Brother Lu has any low-grade materials, you can safely leave them to me. I will let my disciples handle them to save time.
There are some shops with good financial resources and good reputation at the end of the street. You can go to them to sell some precious monster materials. "
"In addition, Black Star City is now full of fish and dragons. A large number of sect monks and some powerful casual cultivators gather here. At certain special times, a black market will open. If Senior Brother Lu is interested, you can tell me and I will do it for Senior Brother. Come and qualify.”
Sun Yunming introduced Lu Xuan in a clear and logical manner.
Lu Xuan nodded and casually glanced at the casual cultivator stalls on both sides.
The stall owners sensed the powerful auras of the two men and lowered their heads, fearing to offend the two foundation-building masters.
Suddenly, he stopped in front of a stall.
There are some low-grade materials on the stall, first- and second-grade spiritual plants, as well as snake bones, snake blood and other goods. The stall owner is a thin young man with a pale face and eyes like two slits. A green python emerges from the stall. He stuck his head out of his sleeves and looked out with indifferent eyes.
Sensing the monk's pause, the young man raised his head. Just as he was about to say hello, he sensed the foundation-building auras of Lu Xuan and the others. His face changed drastically, and his eyes were half alert and half fearful.
"Seniors, what do you need?"
He lowered his head deeply, whispered, and stuffed the head of the green python back into his sleeve.
There are thousands of thoughts in my mind, trying desperately to recall any deeds that have offended the foundation-building monks.
When Sun Yunming saw Lu Xuan stop, although he didn't know the reason, he also slowed down and turned around to the stall.
Lu Xuan reached out and picked up a bottle of red and green snake blood in the uneasy mood of the thin young man, with the corners of his mouth raised.
"Is this green anaconda blood?"
"Senior, it's the blood of the green anaconda."
The thin young man spoke, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.
"Your name is Yu Jie?"
Lu Xuan asked softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's body couldn't help but tremble, and he lowered his head and admitted:
"Yes, I don't know how the seniors met this junior..."
After receiving the satisfactory answer in his heart, Lu Xuan's lips raised even more.
"Linyangfang City, green water python blood, I didn't expect to meet you here."
He was filled with emotions, and he never expected that he would meet an old friend many years later in Black Star City, thousands of miles away.
When he was in Linyangfang City, in order to collect snake blood for cultivating dragon vines, under the leadership of his neighbor, he met this young monk named Yu Jie, and exchanged many second-grade items from his grandfather who was good at catching snakes. of green anaconda blood.
The young man with eyes as sharp as poisonous snakes has become a high-level Qi practitioner.
"Lu...Senior Lu?"
Hearing Lu Xuan's reminder, the young man felt like thunder struck his mind, instantly recalling his experiences more than twenty years ago.
Back then, a spiritual planter came to his house and ordered a large amount of second-grade green anaconda blood from his grandfather, which greatly improved the embarrassment of the grandfather and grandson.
"Yes, it's me."
A look of disbelief flashed in the young man's eyes. He remembered that Lu Xuan was just an intermediate Qi-training monk at that time. Unexpectedly, in just over twenty years, he had successfully broken through to the foundation-building realm and became a being that he looked up to.
"Why did you come to Black Star City? Where is your grandpa?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"Fang City was attacked by monsters before, and many monks died. Grandpa and I discussed it and decided to change our life in a different environment. After many twists and turns, we came to Black Star City."
"As for grandpa, he was seriously injured after the monster attack and has never fully recovered. The journey was long and not smooth. After we arrived at Black Star City on the Chamber of Commerce treasure ship, he held on to hunt the snake monsters. , and finally new injuries and old illnesses broke out together, and he died in depression."
A trace of sadness flashed in Yu Jie's eyes.
"Pity."
Lu Xuan sighed.
"However, the fact that you have grown to this point is worthy of your grandfather's spirit in heaven."
He looked at Yu Jie, who was already at an advanced level in Qi training, and said happily.
