Martial Arts Immortal

…

Swish swish swish.

In the forest, branches sway.

Puff puff--

The sharp blade pierced into the flesh and made a popping sound.

Lin Zheyu easily dealt with several bandits and walked up to explore.

After groping for a long time, I didn't find much.

As before, they were all poison powder, medicinal powder, concealed weapons and the like.

Lin Zheyu has studied the Poison Code for so long, so he can't be said to be proficient, but he can still be considered to have some understanding.

Most of the poisons used by these bandits were developed by mixing and matching poisonous insects and weeds found in the mountains and forests. They are not very toxic.

It has a good effect on warriors below the qi and blood realm, but when faced with warriors like Lin Zheyu whose qi and blood change, the effect is much worse.

Qi and blood have a very strong restorative capacity and can greatly alleviate and restore the symptoms of toxin poisoning.

Ordinary poisons won't have much effect unless the dose is very large.

However, there are some extremely poisonous substances, so even Qi and Blood Realm warriors must be extremely careful.

This is the soul-inducing powder I got from the Zhao family before.

After Qi and Blood Realm warriors are hit by the Soul-Calling Powder, they can only use their powerful Qi and blood to slightly alleviate the symptoms caused by the Soul-Calming Powder and gain time for treatment.

If you delay for too long, you risk losing your life.

"They are just ordinary poisons, not very valuable."

Lin Zheyu made a distinction and put it away.

In the past two days, he had been searching around the Lion Valley and killed many bandits, but unfortunately the harvest was not very great.

Last time, he was lucky and happened to meet a bandit who was returning from a robbery, so he could get such a good harvest.

"Searching around in the mountains and forests like a headless fly is not an option."

"Senior brother and the others normally only go out when bandits rob caravans. Maybe I should stay near the camp where senior brother and the others are stationed. When they go out to suppress the bandits, follow them and try to take advantage of them."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

This seems like a good idea.

The city guard has scouts located on major traffic arteries, always keeping an eye on the bandits' movements.

With their help, Lin Zheyu was able to quickly obtain the bandits' movements.

…

In Songyi City.

Lin Zheyu's house is relatively quiet, with not many pedestrians coming and going.

Two unfamiliar faces appeared outside the courtyard.

They passed by outside the courtyard as if no one else was around.

While the nearby Feihong Gang boys were not paying attention, one of them moved and turned over into the courtyard with extremely agile movements.

The other person walked by as if nothing had happened, came to sit under the shade of a tree, rested, and watched outside.

When the man came to the courtyard, Xiao Huang called out.

Woof woof...

Just after he yelled twice, the man shot a stone from his hand, hitting the dog's head and knocking him out.

He looked around and began to search.

There are not many things in the courtyard except for the flowers and plants left behind by Liang Song and some equipment used for martial arts training.

"Leichuan Vine, Green Lady Bug, Red Minghua..."

"They are all poisonous medicinal materials and poisonous insects. This boy is indeed involved in poison."

The man searched around and found some toxic medicinal residues and poisonous insect corpses among the garbage that had not been disposed of.

After restoring the garbage to its original shape, he took out the wire, bent it a few times, and easily opened the locked door.

The bedroom was sparsely furnished, not much stuff.

He searched around and found no other clues except that he knew that the other party had researched on poison.

"It's so well hidden that I can't even find the silver coins." The man muttered softly.

He searched carefully and found nothing, not even anything of value.

Not long after, the accomplice outside the courtyard coughed slightly, and the man moved and jumped out of the courtyard.

Xing Mansion.

"Sir, I have searched Lin Zheyu's house and found some remnants of poisonous medicinal materials. That kid is indeed involved in poisons."

"Other than that, nothing else was discovered and there was no sign of a fight in the yard."

"We asked the surrounding residents and they didn't hear any strange noise that night."

The man who had just appeared in Lin Zheyu's yard was reporting the news to Xing Zhicheng.

"Um."

"You guys go down first!"

Xing Zhicheng nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, looking a little irritated.

"Dad, how about I just stand guard at the city gate and look for an opportunity to catch that kid back for interrogation?" Xing Penghai suggested.

That's what they've done before.

However, it was Lin Zheyu who was bidding farewell to his senior brother at the gate of the city. It took some time before Xing Penghai and Xing Jinglong arrived in time.

"How to catch it?"

"Every time he comes back from an outing, he passes through a different city gate, and the time is not fixed. We only have so many people, and we can't just do nothing and guard the four city gates."

Xing Zhicheng said with a frown.

Although the Xing family is powerful, they are only a branch of the Xing family, and they do not have many manpower and soldiers at their disposal.

Even because ten elite soldiers and two masters of the Zang Refining Realm died last time, a lot of their authority was deprived of them.

"But, can this be the end of Uncle Zhiyuan's matter?"

"The clan leader and those clan uncles are really ruthless. When Uncle Zhiyuan and the others died, they replied that they would find someone to investigate and let us wait for the results!"

Xing Penghai said angrily.

In a big family, things are not as beautiful as ordinary people imagine.

In many families, internal fighting and power struggles are extremely serious.

The father and son Xing Zhiyuan and Xing Jing'an had just died, and the clan uncle's first thought was not to find the murderer and avenge them.

But to grab resources and redivide the power in Xing Zhiyuan's hands, the fight was red-faced.

This made Xing Penghai feel a little chilled.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll figure it out."

"Yesterday, news came that Lin Zheyu had broken through to the peak of the Bone Forging Realm and defeated many top Bone Forging Realm experts in the Feihong Gang."

"I don't believe that the clan leaders and elders will not be tempted by the Peak of Bone Forging Realm in less than half a year." Xing Zhicheng said coldly.

A genius with such astonishing qualifications, after being cultivated with secret medicine, can cultivate a strong man with vitality and blood in a short time.

If you are lucky, it may even be possible to achieve the second transformation of Qi and Blood Realm.

This kind of strong man is considered to be at the top of the Xing family.

Although Lin Zheyu was unwilling to join the Xing family, this was not a big problem.

There are many drugs that can directly damage parts of the human brain and make people crazy.

Madman is much easier to train.

Some of the dead warriors in the clan were trained in this way.

"Dad, what do you mean..." Xing Penghai said meaningfully.

"Well, I will report this matter to the Fifth Elder. They will definitely be tempted and catch him personally." Xing Zhicheng said calmly.

If the fifth elder takes action, he will definitely be able to capture Lin Zheyu.

When he finds an opportunity to interrogate, he will be able to get clues to Xing Zhiyuan's death.

…

Lin Zheyu found a position with a wide view in the woods 800 meters away from where Senior Brother Han Mo was stationed, and settled down.

His main thing every day is to keep an eye on the movements of the army. When he has nothing to do, he will take out the Poison Book to read, or practice the Liuhe Sword technique.

It is not every day that large caravans pass through the official road.

Moreover, not every time a caravan passes by, there will be bandits.

These bandits are very smart and know which caravans can be robbed and which caravans cannot be robbed.

He guarded for four days before finally waiting for Senior Brother Han Mo and others to send out troops.

drive

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

In the military camp, two teams composed of thirty elite soldiers rushed out.

Every soldier is covered with armor and fully armed.

The two teams were divided into two places and went to two places at the same time to support and suppress the bandits.

"Just this way!"

Lin Zheyu's expression changed and he followed one of the teams forward.

His speed was very fast, and the power of energy and blood in his body exploded.

As he hurried on with all his strength, his speed was not inferior to that of the horses in the army.

In less than ten minutes, Lin Zheyu arrived at the place where the bandits took action.

The air was filled with a pungent smoke that smelled of drugs and various poisons.

Ding ding ding

Whoosh——

The fighting was fierce.

The division of labor among the bandits was extremely clear. Some hid in the dark and kept using crossbows to shoot at the powerful Qi and Blood Realm men who harassed the caravan.

The strength of the Qi-blood realm powerhouse has not yet reached the level of Qi-blood gauze, and he is somewhat helpless in the face of crossbow attacks.

Some bandits rushed directly to cover others to snatch the goods.

The bandits were pressed for time and had to end the battle before the heavily armed elite soldiers arrived. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to flee when the city guards came after them.

Although there are only thirty well-trained, armored, and fully armed elite soldiers, they are not something that the bandits can match if they cooperate with the military formation.

Facing the attack of the bandits, the caravan's guards did not panic.

Their faces were covered with wet cloths soaked in special medicinal liquid, and their nostrils were covered, and then they swallowed poison pills to avoid poisoning.

"The city guards are coming, retreat!"

After a while, the bandit responsible for the surveillance shouted loudly.

"Fuck, these guys are so fast!"

"Mad, wait a little longer, we're about to get it!"

"Fuck, retreat, retreat for me!"

The leading man shouted loudly.

boom!

By accident, he was violently blasted away by the Qi and Blood Realm warrior from the caravan.

At the same time, more than a dozen arrows were shot at the Qi and Blood Realm warrior, forcing him to retreat.

Seeing this, the other bandits didn't care much and started to retreat one after another.

If you don’t leave, it will be too late!

After the battle was over, Lin Zheyu followed quietly.

Swish swish swish.

In the mountain forest, fifty-eight strong men quickly shuttled past.

With their familiarity with the terrain, their speed was as fast as walking on flat ground.

"Hurry up and take the road on the right." The leading man said.

That road is more difficult and dangerous. If the horses can't get in, the city guards will retreat.

After passing through the dangerous path, the group felt a little more relaxed.

Whoosh!

Phew!

Suddenly, a cold light flashed.

A flying knife shot out from the dense forest and sank directly into the forehead of the leading man.

The man's eyes widened, full of shock and unwillingness.

"who!"

The bandits shouted, and the brothers holding crossbows fired in the direction of the flying knives, but no enemy was found.

The crossbow's ambush shooting effect is outstanding, but in the woods, it is of little use when being attacked by someone.

"Leave your things and spare your lives!"

Lin Zheyu's cold voice echoed in the forest.

The robbers looked solemnly at the other man.

The leader is dead, and only he can make the decision.

"This is a master!"

The man has a little talent in his heart.

Qiu Wei's strength has reached the peak level of Zang Refining Realm. Only Qi and Blood Realm warriors can easily kill him with flying knives, and they are not ordinary Qi and Blood Realm warriors.

Madhu, what is this Qi and Blood Realm powerhouse doing to ambush us little people?

The man cursed inwardly.

If such strong men were to fight face to face, with many people and crossbows in hand, they would have a good chance of winning.

But they were in the forest, and their opponent was hiding in the dark to attack them. If they fought, they had no chance of winning.

The man took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Put down the things, let's go!"

The robbers looked at each other, with unwilling expressions on their faces. They had to kill several brothers to get these things.

The bandits gritted their teeth, put down their things, carried the boss's body, and rushed into the forest.

Lin Zheyu slowly walked out of the forest and picked up the items on the ground.

He counted the things he got. There weren't many things, they were all gold, silver, and jewelry.

The thieves stole valuable items.

Lin Zheyu estimated that it could be sold for one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

"It's not easy for these thieves. They risked their lives and finally robbed hundreds of taels of items, and I even robbed them."

Lin Zheyu muttered.

He didn't feel any guilt in his heart, so he just sighed.

These bandits usually make a living by hunting and gathering herbs. They have dedicated people who keep an eye on the caravans. When they come to work, they will gather together and take action.

If they encounter a big job, one vote is enough for them to live a good life for several years.

Time passes slowly.

Another seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zheyu stored all the things he snatched in a secret place.

These things are difficult to sell and can only be sold on the black market on the first and fifteenth of every month.

In the past seven days, he encountered another robbery.

However, this group of bandits was a little greedy and did not know how to retreat in time. After being caught up by the city guards, most of them were wiped out.

The things they grabbed were also confiscated by the city guards, which made Lin Zheyu feel a bit regretful.

After the new year, the weather gets warmer.

The war in the distance seems to have started again.

Lin Zheyu could often see troops being mobilized from afar and rushing to the front line for support.

You can also see many refugees passing by.

Mountain.

As usual, Lin Zheyu practiced the Liuhe sword technique in a wide field of vision while paying attention to the movements of the military camp.

At this time, he found dozens of thin refugees passing by, walking towards Songyicheng.

Halfway through, a group of strong men rushed out of the forest. The strong men didn't know what they said to them, and the group of refugees followed them.

"It's strange. These people seem to be bandits hiding in the mountains. How could they be so kind to accept the refugees?"

Lin Zheyu had some doubts in his heart.

He had seen it several times. Every time a refugee passed by, someone would appear in the mountains and take them away.

As if he thought of something, Lin Zheyu's face turned a little ugly.

"Follow me and have a look!" Lin Zheyu secretly said.

With the strength of those bandits, they can make a living even through hunting, and they won't do things like feed on human flesh, right?

Lin Zheyu frowned slightly, thinking it was unlikely.

It's just that he can't figure out what these guys want to do by accepting refugees?

…

Outside the Lion Valley, a thin mist shrouded the area.

These fogs are a mixture of smoke miasma and poisonous miasma. If you are not prepared in advance and stay in it for a long time, you will get seriously ill, and you may even die if you are not careful.

"Come on, there will be food inside."

A strong man urged the refugees loudly, leading them in the direction of Lion Valley.

"Brother, bring these refugees over, and we will have thirty-eight contribution points. I heard that the fighting has started again, and there are more and more refugees."

"You will soon accumulate 100 contribution points, which can be exchanged for a blood pill." The man next to him said with a smile.

"Hey, after eating the blood pill, I will be a strong man in the Qi and Blood realm. Then I can rob whoever I want!" The strong man chuckled.

The man who claimed to be the priest of the Nine Nether Cult promised the blood pill to them. After eating the pill, they could directly break through to the level of Qi and Blood realm.

Not only blood pills, but also all kinds of items are included in the redemption list given by the priest, including pills that can extend a person's life for ten years.

"Brother, when you have enough contribution points, give me another one. I'll keep it for when I reach the peak of Zang Refining Realm." The man said hopefully.

"There's no rush, everyone has a share."

"Everyone should work harder and strive to get more contribution points. In the future, no matter who reaches the peak of the Zang Refining Realm, they can use their contribution points to exchange for blood pills and break through to the Qi and Blood Realm!"

The strong man said loudly, causing the other boys to cheer.

When the refugees heard this, their faces were a little frightened. They wanted to leave, but they did not dare to speak out in the face of this group of ferocious guys.

"Sir... Your Majesty, you said that there will be food when you get there. You won't... lie to us, right?" Someone bravely said timidly.

"Why are you lying to me? There are already a lot of people there."

"When you get there, you can continue to farm and farm. Become a member of the Jiuyou Sect, and the Demon God will take care of you!" The strong man imitated the priest's tone of voice and comforted him.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" the refugees said gratefully.

No matter what, as long as you can survive.

Along the way, they watched their companions die constantly, and their hearts were filled with despair.

Many cities no longer accept refugees. Even if there are kind-hearted people giving porridge outside the city, the amount of porridge is enough for several people.

Rustling.

In the mountain forest, the breeze blows and the trees sway.

Lin Zheyu used the Turtle Breathing Technique with all his strength, lowered his aura to a minimum, and followed the group of people.

He also heard what the strong man said just now.

"Blood Pill?"

"Contribution point?"

Lin Zheyu was a little curious: "What kind of elixir is the Blood Pill? It can actually allow people to directly break through to the Qi and Blood Realm!"

If a warrior wants to break through to the Qi and Blood realm, he needs a strong enough spirit.

Only when the spirit is strong enough can one sense the blood and fuse the blood and body essence together with the spirit to form the power of qi and blood.

If this blood pill can directly make people break through to the qi and blood realm, could it also have the effect of improving the spirit?

"I've been here in Songyicheng for so long, and I haven't seen any elixirs before. All they use are medicinal decoctions made from medicinal materials. Even Xu Qinyi and Ren Qingfeng, young masters from aristocratic families, use medicinal decoctions."

"Interesting, there seems to be quite a secret hidden in this Lion Valley!" Lin Zheyu's face showed a hint of interest.
