The fifth day of the 2274th month of the East Di Li

Lansha Island is humid and hot all year round. Although there is no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is always the end of the year, and the temperature can be slightly lowered. When encountering sunny days and the wind blows in Shanghai, the weather can be called pleasant.

About three hundred miles north of Bayu Mountain, on the road leading to Heigu City, there are ten trucks loaded with saltpeter. Each truck has nearly ten guards in front and behind. Most of these guards look like middle-aged people, with high temples, and are obviously masters of the innate realm.

The trucks crushed the road and brought out deep marks. Each carriage is probably no less than 50,000 kilograms. Fortunately, each carriage is pulled by six demon scale foals. Although these demonic horns are just acquired monsters, they are gentle after being domesticated and have a gentle temperament and cannot compare with innate monsters, but their strength is not weak, and it is just right to use them to pull heavy objects.

The leader was a tall young man. He was carrying a long sword and wearing a white dress. His spiritual charm was emitting from time to time. Even snakes, insects, rats and ants were unable to get close to him. His strength and status were obviously above this group of guards. His eyes scanned the surrounding environment from time to time, and his spiritual consciousness was always extended to explore the surroundings, with a cautious expression.

"He Shangxian, the road from Linjiang City to Heigu City is now under the jurisdiction of Zijian Pavilion. Shangxian is also a disciple of Zijian Pavilion. No one should be afraid of his eyes!" Behind him, a middle-aged innate mortal came forward and looked at the face of the young man in white with obvious respect.

He Wu sighed. He naturally would not explain to these mortals why he was so cautious.

He is a disciple of the inner sect of Zijian Pavilion. Although he looks like a young man, he is already fifty-nine years old this year. The promotion rules for disciples of Zijian Pavilion are simple and rough, and they are based on their cultivation level.

His cultivation level at the peak of the fifth level of Qi training is not outstanding among the inner disciples, and it is far from the reach of an elite disciple. Although he has gained some gains in this battle between Zijian Pavilion and Guo, those gains are not enough to support him in the late stage of Qi training.

Therefore, after the sect occupied the three cities of Linjiang, Tianhuo and Heigu, he chose to follow Master Mingjian and stay in Linjiang City.

But although he is a disciple of the inner sect of Zijian Pavilion, he is actually pitiful with few cultivation resources.

Zi Jian Pavilion covers nearly half of the monks on Lansha Island, and its daily resource consumption is also amazing. Perhaps those who are going up to the foundation-building realm can still live a good life.

But it was their turn to be the inner disciples, which was really miserable. In addition to doing sect tasks in exchange for sect rewards and the monthly guaranteed spiritual rice of the sect, they also had to do other cultivation resources themselves.

Of course, if you are a child of Zuo or Yue from the sect, you can live a good life. What's more, if you can join an elder or follow a true disciple, you can live a good life.

However, He Wu himself only has the middle-grade earth spirit roots of the Yellow-level, and his qualifications are generally not mentioned. In addition, he comes from an ordinary family and is completely a rootless person in the Zijian Pavilion. Finding a backstage has become a luxury.

There is a reason why I chose to stay in Linjiang City and not return to Lansha East Island.

Although Zijian Pavilion is a sect, there are differences in the sect. It has ruled the three cities of East Island for thousands of years, and the three cities are complicated and the interests have long been divided up by Zuo, Yue and the sect's casual cultivators.

These unfounded disciples continue to stay there, which is also a life for others to work. Instead of doing this, it is better to take advantage of the new Linjiang City of Zijian Pavilion and stay here, and maybe there will be more opportunities.

Sure enough, after waiting for a year, there was news that someone was acquiring saltpeter in unlimited amounts.

Moreover, the unit price has increased from six taels to ten taels of gold per catty. What’s even more exaggerated is that he can choose to settle with spirit stones! This immediately shocked him.

He received the news in July this year and immediately smelled the opportunity.

This kind of saltpeter reserves are not small in Linhe City. The unit price is ten taels, and ten kilograms can sell a spirit stone.

Ten thousand kilograms are one thousand spirit stones! The key is that the news about Black Valley City has not yet reached Linjiang City on a large scale. The price of saltpeter in Linjiang City is still around 5 taels, which is directly doubled.

He Wu made a quick decision and found two junior brothers he had known each other and told them about this.

The two junior brothers had a lower cultivation level than him, and they were also the unfounded monks who chose to stay in Linjiang City to wait for opportunities. After hearing this, they quickly realized that this was a great way of wealth.

The three of them hit it off and immediately pieced together, either borrowing money from an acquaintance or emptiing their family’s savings for many years. They raised more than 20,000 spirit stones in Linjiang City for a price of 5 taels and charged the saltpeter filled with ten trucks, totaling 500,000 kilograms.

If this trip went smoothly, the three of them could make half the profit, which is 25,000 spirit stones.

There were tens of thousands of spirit stones. This pair of a middle-level qi-level cultivator who had no roots and no bottoms was simply a dream. However, the news of the real ten taels per kilogram in the Black Valley City came. He Wu pulled two junior brothers, and the three of them were determined to take this risk.

In order to raise the money, the three of them even found Lu Qiang, an elite disciple who specialized in lending in the sect. Originally, the three of them must have escorted them together, but the elite disciple who lent them money did not believe them, and even detained the two junior brothers, saying that they could wait for He Wu to use the money to redeem the people.

This is why He Wu has been so nervous.

Although He Wu is a peak monk at the fifth level of Qi training, he has to be cautious when he is trying to suppress his wealth. If something big is wrong, he will not only lose money, but also not even the safety of his two junior brothers.

These elite disciples who dared to lend money were all amazingly large in the backstage of the sect. If they hadn't been able to get the spirit stones, He Wu and the other two would not have come to them.

But I have always done it, and now I can only safely send this batch of saltpeter to Black Valley City, get the spirit stones and then redeem people.

However, the more you fear, the more you will be!

Two flames rushed from the hillside on the roadside, one shot and one round was like two meteors, showing its sharpness, and its target was directly aimed at He Wu.

He Wu had been guarding all around him, and the long sword behind him suddenly came out of the sheath, the earth-moving spiritual power was solid and heavy, and the orange-yellow sword blade lifted the spear to the side, then his body flashed, barely dodging the rapidly rotating golden wheel of flame.

The spear was picked up next to He Wu. The middle-aged man who had just spoken reminded him of the direction of the innate realm, and the middle-aged man suddenly had a horror in his pupils. He also had the innate realm cultivation. His hands suddenly stimulated, his sleeves were windless, and he grabbed the flying spear and wanted to push it away.

"ah……"

The middle-aged man screamed, and the spiritual flame attached to the spear was not something that his body could resist. His hand holding the spear suddenly became charred. The innate realm's power was vulnerable to the spiritual power. The flame burned along his hand and instantly turned into ashes, with no corpse left.

"It's over!"

He Wu's heart was ashamed. When he used his sword to push away the Bing spear, he had a brief contact with the other party's spiritual power.

Not to mention the flame golden wheel for now, the master of the spear is definitely far beyond his cultivation level, and he is probably already at the advanced level of Qi training.

The hundreds of guards who were escorting the truck saw the tragic situation of the middle-aged man being burned to death, and they all fell to the ground and did not dare to move.

This is obviously a battle between monks. They have no choice but to intervene, and He Wu did not blame them.

Two black-clothed monks jumped down from the mountainside, with strong spiritual power. He Wu felt it for a moment and found that his spiritual consciousness could not be seen through. He could not see through both of them, and he felt even more desperate.

The golden wheel of flame flew into the hands of the monk on the right, and the spear that had burned the middle-aged man to death was also returned to his hands with a light move by the monk on the left.

"Super the goods, get out!"

As soon as he heard the spear monk deliberately speaking, He Wu felt a lot of cold in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, Brother Lu borrowed money from the front, and sent someone to kill and rob. It's really a very credible person."

This mockery immediately made the Jinlun monk pause for a moment, which also made He Wu confirm his guess.

"Don't talk nonsense to him. Kill him. Let's go to Black Valley City to see. If the news is true, maybe we can make a fortune on saltpeter."

The spear monk was not long-winded, and his spiritual power was clamoring. The spear in his hand ignited spiritual flames again, and suddenly moved out, raiding towards He Wu from the left.

The golden wheel monk was still not behind. He and the spear monk were both fire-type monks. The golden wheel turned rapidly and soon brought out a trace of flame to seal He Wu's right.

Not only did both of them have high-level Qi training, but they also attacked each other from left to right. He Wu was only at the peak of the fifth level of Qi training, how could he escape? But now it is a dead situation, so he is not that afraid.

A light yellow earth-moving light was added to the magic sword in his hand again. He Wu did not retreat but advanced, avoided the attack of the golden wheel, and at a tricky angle, he lowered his head and suddenly shook the spear monk from left to right.

A ray of light suddenly appeared in front of the spear monk. Then, more than thirty sword shadows of He Wu's long sword suddenly differentiated into the air and slashed towards the spear monk.

Spectral Sword

The disciples of the inner sect of the Zijian Pavilion can practice, but unfortunately He Wu's cultivation is still low, so he can only barely draw more than thirty sword shadows.

But even so, the afterimage turned into a sword light carried a heavy spiritual light, causing the spear monk to take a few steps backwards.

"court death!"

Seeing that He Wu dared to fight back, Jin Lun's anger suddenly came. The golden wheel in his hand also flew out with the spear. The two of them did not hold back. The suppression of the seventh-level high-level Qi training cultivation immediately made He Wu's face turn pale.

I found two high-level monks at the seventh level of Qi training to deal with him, and Lu Qiang was willing to give up his foundation.

After all, his cultivation is not as good as that of others. Although He Wu's split light sword technique is wonderful, he can only block the two of them for a while. After a while, He Wu's body had already suffered a lot of scars, and he did not fall down by maintaining his spiritual energy.

It’s all my fault that I’m too greedy. Not only can I make a spiritual stone but I still have to die here. Unfortunately, my two junior brothers are still waiting for me to redeem people at Lu Qiang. No matter how cautious he is, he would never expect that Lu Qiang, who borrowed the spirit stones, would directly send someone to intercept him.

After a while, He Wu finally exhausted his spiritual power. The spear monk saw his weakness. His eyes exposed outside showed a hint of cruelty. The spiritual power around him urged him. The spear directly crossed the golden wheel and took He Wu's eyebrows.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the side. The sound obviously contained spiritual power, as if it was exploding in my ears.

The monk of the long spear and monk of the golden wheel were frightened, so he stopped his hands and turned to look.

He Wu's body was immediately revived. Unexpectedly, other monks appeared on this trade route, so he hurriedly looked over.

I saw a middle-aged man who was racing from the side of the road, with a breath of spiritual energy under his feet, and in a moment it appeared three or four meters away from the convoy.
