The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

After the old beggar opened the river with a sword, the river overflowed on the embankment, and the big waves far exceeded the annual tide season.

Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on both sides of the Hongling River at this time, and no other ships passed by in the nearby waters, which would not hurt the innocent.

Lu Ping'an stared blankly at the river flowing backwards, his shock was beyond comprehension.

He knew that the old beggar was a master, but he didn't expect the latter to be so high.

Is this the real powerhouse?

In this way, the surface of the river undulated continuously, and after about half a scent, the power of the sword gradually dissipated, and the river slowly calmed down.

At this time, there was only a trace of the afterglow of the sunset, and the sky was about to get dark.

Lu Ping'an returned to his senses and looked up at the sky, his head a little big.

The old beggar had a good time drinking and killing sharks. What can he do if he gets too excited, forgets the schedule, and finds a place to sleep at will?

However, it is useless to think about it now, the most important thing is to clean the battlefield first.

Lu Ping'an jumped into the river and through the exploration of the devouring system, he finally found the magic core of the mutant giant shark.

Fortunately, the old beggar's slash did not affect it, the magic core is very complete.

Today is different from the past. Although the hostile spirit diffused by the magic core is very heavy, with Lu Ping's current cultivation base, there is no need to worry about being hurt by hostile energy again.

In addition, although the flesh and blood of the giant shark can also be retrieved, Lu Ping'an did not intend to swallow its blood.

The power of the monster is mainly derived from the cholera attribute given by the magic core. According to the system prompts, after swallowing its blood, the side effects of assimilation will be very huge.

Lu Pingan felt that he might become a bloodthirsty lunatic.

And if the side effects of assimilation are avoided through the additional functions of the system, it is no different from swallowing the blood of an ordinary Phantom Ridge Shark, and there is no need to obtain it.

"Miss Jiang, you worked so hard just now. Let's give this to you."

Just as the so-called no merit is not rewarded, in the process of fighting the mutant giant shark, Jiang Yuebai exerted the most force, and Lu Ping'an would naturally not swallow the only trophy.

Who knows that Jiang Yuebai blocked the hand he handed over: "I don't need it, you take it, I never use beast cores to practice."

"Oh?"

Lu Ping'an was quite curious.

He also remembered the scene where Jiang Yuebai suddenly appeared to kill the ferryman and the giant shark, and couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "Miss Jiang, why do you hate spirit beasts so much?"

But as soon as the words were spoken, he regretted it.

There is no hatred for no reason in this world. The reason why Jiang Yuebai is hostile to spirit beasts must have been hurt by spirit beasts.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath and said in shock: "Before I was six years old, I lived with my mother in a hunting village outside Luyi city. One night, a herd of animals attacked the village, and my mother was... …"

Listening to Jiang Yuebai's narration, Lu Ping'an's face gradually became serious.

It turned out that Jiang Yuebai's growth process was not so smooth.

Her mother was born humble, and pregnant with her was also an accident after the family owner Jiang Mu had a drink.

The Jiang family attaches great importance to the inheritance of blood, so their mother and daughter are forbidden to live in the clan. It was not until the sixth year after Jiang Yuebai was born that the family sent someone to test her blood.

The result is not difficult to guess. Knowing that Jiang Yuebai has the bloodline of a high-ranking mysterious rank against the sky, Jiang Mu immediately began to prepare for Jiang Yuebai's mother and daughter to return to the clan.

However, on the night of departure, a group of silver-toothed wolves attacked the village at night in revenge.

When the Jiang family cultivators arrived, Jiang Yuebai's mother was already buried in the belly of the beast.

Since then, Jiang Yuebai has never cried again.

It was also because of this experience that she had the habit of resolutely practicing without beast cores.

After Jiang Yuebai finished speaking, both of them fell into silence.

Lu Pingan put away the magic core, bowed his head and thought for a long time.

The Buddha said: "All beings are suffering." Now it seems that this sentence really makes sense.

"Ahem... how about using these instead?"

After about half a stick of incense, Lu Ping'an coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the air.

Since Jiang Yuebai refused to ask for a magic core, he took out a few spiritual stones with a total value of spiritual energy and handed them over.

"can."

Jiang Yuebai didn't refuse and accepted it generously. After all, she used a blood dragon pill at a high price.

During the conversation between the two, the old beggar went and returned.

"Disciple, it's getting late, we have to fight to get to Qingshan City before the wine shop closes."

In just a stick of incense, he has already traveled a hundred miles away in the air, the sorrow in his heart has disappeared, and the whole person has changed back to the original sloppy and lazy appearance.

"I wish you success in your studies and goodbye."

"There will be a period later."

When Lu Pingan and Jiang Yuebai said goodbye, they each only said a short sentence.

They have lived and died together, and have faced powerful enemies together. The true friendship does not need to be decorated with gorgeous rhetoric.

When the two passed by, they gave a light high-five. At this point, one headed east and the other headed north.

...

Qingshan City is located near the border of Cangwu State and Dongyu State. It is built on the hillside, with sufficient water sources, and surrounded by woodlands, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Due to the topography, all the buildings in the city adopt a "wedge"-shaped foundation, and the houses are mostly timber structures with unique views.

In addition, Qingshan Castle's food and wine are unique.

The greedy worms in the belly are in trouble, and the old beggar walks in the forefront without delay.

Later, seeing that Lu Pingan's steps were too slow, the old beggar simply picked up his collar and set off on the road.

In the end, the journey of more than thirty miles was completed in just a while.

After coming to Qingshan City, Lu Pingan planned to find a cheap inn to stay.

However, the old beggar was extremely enjoyable, and went straight to the largest Qingzhou Tower in the city, and spent more than a hundred taels of silver that night.

Lu Ping'an carefully calculated the amount of silver he brought with him when he went out, and couldn't help feeling that he was getting bigger.

Xin said that if they continue to consume according to this standard, within half a month, their masters and disciples will have to beg along the street...

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Facts have proved that Lu Pingan underestimated his master's prodigal level.

On the fifth day after arriving at Qingshan City, the old beggar squandered all the money he had collected from him.

It all depended on Lu Ping's selling that set, and the head-shaking he had paid before lasted until now.

"Apprentice, come out, I should teach you some skills as a teacher."

In the early morning of this day, the genius was bright, and the old beggar came to Lu Ping’s house and called the door.

"Oh? Really?"

At this time, Lu Pingan was meditating in the room, and when he heard this, he thought he had auditory hallucinations.

For this month, the old beggar had to sleep until three poles of the sun every day before getting up. He had a good drink and meat. If he hadn't cultivated a high level of cultivation, he would have to eat fat.

The old guy got up so early today that the sun is really coming out from the west.

Lu Pingan finished the weekly operation, got up and went to the front of the room to open the door: "Master, has the money been spent again?"

Although the old beggar had just said that he wanted to teach his skills, the past month of getting along had reduced Lu Ping's expectations of him to the extreme.

Therefore, he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the old beggar's words.

"Ahem... Disciple, what do you mean by this look?"

The old beggar looked embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said sternly, "Master knows in his heart, don't worry, there is enough money, let's go."

"Really go?"

Lu Ping'an was overjoyed and asked again for confirmation.

The reason why he has been patient this month is precisely because the old beggar has a high enough cultivation base.

In a month's time, in exchange for one or two instructions from a top expert, after careful calculation, the transaction is generally worthwhile.

"Can there be fakes?"

The old beggar asked impatiently, waved his sleeves, turned and walked downstairs, "Quickly keep up, don't delay drinking for the teacher."

"Okay, come right away."

Lu Ping'an immediately returned to the room. After tidying up his things, he followed up.

In this way, the two masters and apprentices left the Qingzhou Tower, leaving Qingshan City from the West Gate and heading straight to the top of the mountain.

The mountain on which Qingshan City is located is called Qinglong Mountain, which is as high as thousands of feet.

Outside the West City Gate, there is a small road that leads directly to the top of the mountain, but due to the large number of spirit beasts inhabiting the peak area of ​​Qinglong Mountain, few ordinary people dare to go.

The two climbed along the path to the top of the mountain for about two miles, and there were no other pedestrians around.

"Disciple, did you see that hole?"

Lu Pingan thought that the old beggar was going to take him to the top of Qinglong Mountain, but when he arrived halfway up the mountain, the latter stopped and pointed to a cave.
