He Changkong is a casual cultivator from Hanshan Village in the southern part of the Han Dynasty. There are sword cultivators and magic cultivators in the Han Dynasty, but no sword cultivators. He Changkong's weapon is a pitch-black knife.

He Changkong's life is like a story in an absurd novel. When he was ten years old, he accidentally fell off the cliff and then saw a pair of dry bones in the cave. He found a black knife next to the dry bones and a ragged and nameless knife score.

The sword score records eighteen sword techniques. He Changkong saw that the sword score had no name, so he gave the name of the nameless sword score a very domineering name - the Eighteen Slash of the Sky!

The killing aura of the Eighteen Slashes of the Sky is extremely strong, and the moves all have the meaning of "putting them to death and resurrection".

His sword score is a magical technique and a secret trick. He Changkong relied on the magical technique in the broken and incomplete sword score here and then cultivated to the peak of the Qi Refining Period in eight years; he relied on the eighteen Slashes in the sword score, and became a well-known demon hunter in Qinghai City.

It was sunny today. He Changkong went out from home and went to Heluo Inn to have a pot of spiritual wine, and was about to go out to hunt monsters.

While drinking, I heard the young man next to the account desk asking about the account room of Heluo Inn. There were monsters near Qinghai City. When He Changkong heard this, he was a new monster hunter.

He Changkong looked at the handsome monk. This man looked like a man who had never suffered any hardships, dressed in a well-dressed manner. Even so, it did not prevent He Changkong from having a good impression of this man. Looking at the young man's pretty face and the conversation between the lines of the inn account, this young man should not be a villain.

"Are you going to hunt demons?" He Changkong asked the handsome young man.

The young man turned around and nodded to He Changkong; the accountant of Heluo Inn introduced to Li Changan: "I am just a accountant. You ask me about the hunting of monsters, so I have asked the wrong person. This Mr. He is a famous monster hunter in Qinghai City. It is better to ask Mr. He for advice."

"Master He? Is this senior very old?" The young man looked at He Changkong's green face and asked blankly.

He Changkong heard this and smiled slightly. He looked like a young man who had just emerged from the world. He smiled and explained to the young man: "I am not yet up to the top. Master He just thanked the demon hunter on the Tao to see him and respect me."

The young man nodded in a vague way and said, "Can Brother He go out of the city to hunt monsters recently? I am new to Qinghai City and I am not very familiar with the surrounding environment." The young man thought of something and added, "My name is Li Chang'an, and I haven't asked Brother He for his name."

"He Changkong in Hanshan Village!" He Changkong said to Li Changan with his fists: "I am going to go out of the city to hunt monsters today."

Li Changan showed joy when he heard this, and he asked, "Can Brother He bring me with you?"

He Changkong said, "If Brother Li doesn't dislike He, you and I can naturally go out of the city together."

...

The two walked on the road in Qinghai City.

He Changkong asked: "The monster hunting is often injured. Do you bring plasters such as golden sore medicine; in addition, you can take enough fattening pills when you go out to hunt monsters for at least a few days or a month. Have you brought enough fasting pills?"

"Isn't the golden sore medicine a plaster for the room? Why don't you use elixir?"

He Changkong explained: "We earn less than twenty low-grade crystals when hunting a monster. Those elixirs that stop bleeding and generate muscles cost thirty low-grade crystals in a bottle. Moreover, the amount of medicine is not large, so it can basically not be used a few times. It is not as good as the calculation of the golden sore medicine in the room."

In the forests of the Great Wilderness Mountain, there is silence besides the occasional bird cry.

Li Changan and He Changkong were walking vigilantly in the primeval forest in the wilderness mountain; as an experienced demon hunter, He Changkong kept sweeping through the dark places among the surrounding trees, holding the narrow black knife tightly in his right hand, ready to deal with all emergencies at any time.

Li Changan was walking forward with all his concentration, alerting the wind around him to the lower part of the grass; He Changkong suddenly slapped him from behind. Li Changan was frightened and turned around immediately, looking at He Changkong with inquiring eyes.

He Changkong made a ban on Li Changan, and then signaled Li Changan to look at the big tree on the right.

"Wooteng Snake!" Looking at a snake coiled on the tree, He Changkong shouted out this name with a slightly dark face.

As the name suggests, the Wuteng snake is a monster living among the forests and trees. The Wuteng snake has a flat body and has flesh wings. It can soar in the air. Moreover, the Wuteng snake is highly venomous. Once bitten, it can easily poison monks below the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If He Changkong meets this whip snake alone on weekdays, he has to be entangled in order to win; He Changkong gave Li Changan a look and asked Li Changan to obey his command.

Li Changan shook his head at He Changkong and said something, but it was silent.

He Changkong understood Li Changan's lip shape, "I have a way."

He Changkong looked at Li Changan regretfully, wanting to ask something, but he was afraid of disturbing Wutengshe.

Li Changan held the Panxu Sword in his left hand, aimed the tip of the sword at Wuteng Snake, flicked the hilt of the Panxu Sword with his middle finger, and shot out from his hand, like an arrow at Wuteng Snake.

The Panxu Sword shot straight into the head of the Wuteng Snake, smashing the unprepared Wuteng Snake's head; the body of the Wuteng Snake coiled on the tree fell from the tree.

This "sword-playing technique" is one of the sword techniques of Taiyuan Pavilion. When Li Changan had not practiced it in the early years, he had read the secrets left by Li Yunfei, and he had already understood how to use this technique.

He Changkong jumped over in two steps, slashed the corpse of Wuteng Snake, used a black knife to dig out the snake gallbladder, and put it in the storage bag, "It seems that I underestimated you if I can solve Wuteng Snake so neatly."

"Just luck."

He Changkong threw away the corpse of Wuteng Snake, "This wuteng Snake's snake gallbladder can be used to refine elixirs. It is worth at least fifty low-grade crystals. Now I will collect it first and I will share the money when we go back."

Li Changan nodded, "Yes."

He Changkong wiped the snake blood from his hand and said, "Your swordsmanship just now is good, and your offensive is very fierce; it seems that you are not an ordinary casual cultivator."

Li Changan didn't want to reveal his identity, but he didn't want to deceive He Changkong, so he said, "My father is a cultivator of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect. This sword technique was left to me after his death."

He Changkong nodded and dispelled his concerns, "So that's it."

Looking at the sun that was about to go down the mountain, He Changkong found a relatively hidden hole, and the two of them rested.

He Changkong took out the quilt and pillow from the storage bag, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep; Li Changan looked up at Mingyue and asked, "Why did Brother He hunt demons?"

He Changkong did not open his eyes, and he replied lightly: "In the past, it was for survival, now it was for cultivation."

"For the sake of practicing?" Li Changan was a little puzzled. What did this cultivation have to do with hunting monsters?

He Changkong turned over and said, "I have already hit the foundation building stage three times, but I have failed three times. If I use the foundation building pill, my success rate for foundation building will increase by three levels."

"How much does a foundation-building pill cost?"

"A three thousand low-grade crystal stones." He Changkong said: "I'll take a break first, and I'll change you in the second half of the night."

Li Changan nodded and said nothing.
