Chapter 268: Leaving the Customs
"Genjin evil spirit!" Jian Bailou finally couldn't help but exclaimed, and he had already flown towards the cave entrance.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, facing the cold wind that was cold enough to make an ordinary person seriously ill, Jian Bailou took a deep breath with an intoxicated look on his face, and then finally couldn't help but burst into laughter towards the sky.
"The Gengjin evil energy veins, and it is very thick and pure Gengjin evil energy!"
"Congratulations, teacher!" Qin Ziling walked forward and bowed to Jian Bailou.
"Zi Ling!" Jian Bailou patted Qin Zi Ling's shoulder heavily, tears flashing in his eyes.
"We have the blood essence and the Gengjin evil energy ground veins. Teacher, is there anything else you need to prepare?" Qin Ziling asked.
"No need!" Jian Bailou replied.
"In that case, Brother Feng, Xiao Qing, you two go back and take charge first. I will stay here to protect our teacher. After our teacher breaks through and becomes a Grandmaster, we will go back." Qin Ziling said.
…
Half a month later.
Suddenly, a surge of evil energy surged out , as if thousands of troops were rushing out.
Then, another incomparably sharp golden light broke through the rolling evil spirit and shot up into the sky. The clouds in the sky were scattered all at once by the golden light.
Qin Ziling, who was sitting cross-legged under a Zhenyuan fruit tree and surrounded by clouds and mist, suddenly opened his eyes with a look of surprise on his face.
Then, a figure passed through the woods like a ghost and landed at the entrance of the cave.
Qin Ziling had just landed at the entrance of the cave when Jian Bailou, who was still short and fat, walked out of the cave.
At this moment, Jian Bailou's edge was completely suppressed, and at first glance he looked like an ordinary, kind old man.
But Qin Ziling could keenly perceive that beneath this ordinary appearance and body, there was an unparalleled sharp sword.
The sword is unsheathed, its sharpness is unstoppable!
If it is said that before Jian Bailou's retreat and breakthrough, Qin Ziling was confident that he could defeat Jian Bailou based on his personal combat power alone.
But now, Qin Ziling believes that only by using all his means can he defeat Jian Bailou.
"Teacher, your current strength should be able to suppress old man Qingsong in his prime, right?" Qin Ziling looked at Jian Bailou and asked.
"When I was still in the late stage of Zhen Yuan, I was able to fight Qingsong. Now I have reached the Grandmaster level, and thanks to you, I used the blood essence of Feijin Beast, and this Gengjin evil spirit is also of top grade, so my Fa Yuan is very solid and strong.
Now, it is no problem for me to suppress Qingsong. If I am given some more time to consolidate and comprehend the way of the sword, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to rival the middle master. "Jian Bailou replied calmly, but with the carefree and arrogant air of a sword immortal.
"Teacher is really amazing. His strength is close to that of a mid-level master as soon as he came out of retreat. It seems that I can walk around Xiyunzhou with ease from now on!" Qin Ziling said with surprise when he heard that.
"Haha!" Jian Bailou laughed and pointed at Qin Ziling, saying, "Do you still need the support of your master to walk around Xiyunzhou?"
"Teacher, what do you mean? You won't ignore your disciples just because you have become successful, right?" Qin Ziling's face changed drastically.
"You bastard!" Jian Bailou rolled his eyes helplessly, and then he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Qin Ziling anymore. He pointed at the Zhenyuan fruit trees in the forest and said, "These Zhenyuan fruit trees are more than 600 years old, especially the one in the middle, which is probably more than a thousand years old. With these Zhenyuan fruit trees, and my master being a master again, Wuji Sect and Jinjian Sect will not have to worry about Huayuan Pills in the future!"
"It's a pity that the Zhenyuan Fruit Tree cannot be moved. Otherwise, if it was transplanted to Jinjian Mountain or Yunluo Lake, it would be safe. In this place, who knows what the future will be." Qin Ziling said.
"Since I know there is a Zhenyuan fruit tree here, I can take the time to come here and investigate from time to time. It's just a little troublesome. What accidents can happen?
There is also a lot of evil energy in this Gengjin evil vein, and the purity is also high, with almost no mixed energy from other veins. When Zi Luo touches the threshold of the Grandmaster, he can come here to build the magic essence. "Jian Bailou said.
"Teacher, did you leave some blood essence?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Yes, it should be enough for Ziluo to build his magic power." Jian Bailou replied.
“In this way, the Golden Sword Sect will probably have two grandmasters soon! By then, the Golden Sword Sect will be the most powerful sect in Xiyunzhou.” Qin Ziling said.
“With your Wuji Sect around, the Jinjian Sect wouldn’t dare to claim to be number one!” Jian Bailou said while stroking his beard with a smile.
"Thank you for your admission." Qin Ziling smiled and bowed when he heard that.
The master and the disciple chatted and laughed. Jian Bailou picked three ripe Zhenyuan Fruits and then left the valley.
…
The sky is covered with dark clouds and a storm is coming.
The Cangming River was surging, and the water was rushing all the way to the southwest estuary.
"Master, do you see that protruding mountain on the opposite side of the river? It's right here, halfway up the mountain. But the river is too turbulent today, so it's inconvenient to cross the river." On the riverside, Bao Yingjun pointed to a mountain on the opposite bank that reached into the sky and said.
"You did a great job. When you go back, go to Master Zuo to collect your reward. You don't have to worry about crossing the river!" Qin Ziling patted Bao Yingjun on the shoulder, then nodded to Zheng Xinghan beside him. Then a ball of black mist rose up from under his feet, wrapped him up, and flew towards the other side.
"Master, senior brother is getting more and more powerful. When I can be as awesome as him, that'll be awesome!" Bao Yingjun watched Qin Ziling disappear into the night, his face full of admiration and envy.
"Just follow the master brother carefully. With your talent, this day will come sooner or later." Zheng Xinghan said with a smile.
"Hehe!" Bao Yingjun scratched his head and laughed.
He is now a great martial artist in the early stage of bone refining. He has a solid foundation and his strength is even greater than that of an ordinary great martial artist in the middle stage of bone refining.
When he entered Jiugao County at the beginning of the year, he secretly carried out operations to suppress bandits and exterminate demons according to the information provided by Jin Yichen, with Zheng Xinghan as the main commander and him as his deputy.
A few days ago, Bao Yingjun led a team to wipe out a small den of the Corpse Demon Sect.
Because of what he saw in Chenglin County last time, Qin Ziling attached great importance to the Corpse Demon Sect's corpse refining place. The smart Bao Yingjun was more cautious when he wiped out the Corpse Demon Sect's small demon cave. He left the person in charge of the small demon cave alive and tortured him. He learned that there was a guardian of the Corpse Demon Sect's branch hall on the other side of the river who was refining golden corpses there.
As soon as he received the news, Bao Yingjun immediately passed the news back to Yunluo Lake.
When Qin Ziling received the news that day, he immediately rushed to Jiugao County in person.
In the corpse-raising ring, Ape Da and Ape Er have already prepared everything to refine the golden corpse, except for the Xin metal evil spirit.
For Qin Ziling, the news about Bao Yingjun was like someone bringing him a pillow just when he was about to fall asleep.
Under the dark clouds of the night, Qin Ziling flew across the Cangming River without anyone noticing, and soon flew all the way to the mountain that Bao Yingjun pointed to.
At the foot of the mountain, there are many houses, like a market town.
From time to time, you can hear the soul-stirring ringing of bells, and from time to time, zombies appear in and out of the houses. Most of those zombies are humans, and they look particularly eerie and strange on such a cloudy night.
