Early next morning.

Lingzhou City, among the inns.

Su Xing was sitting cross-legged on the bed, silently operating the exercises he was practicing, when he suddenly felt a strange movement coming from the Zi Mansion within his body.

There is movement in the Zi Mansion, which is a sign that the cultivation level is about to break through...

This opportunity cannot be missed.

Feeling something in his heart, Su Xing immediately tapped the storage bag on his waist, took out a 'spiritual energy bag' from it, and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the bag.

Su Xing's physical qualifications were mediocre, and it would be extremely difficult to break through the fourth level of Qi training.

but.

With the support of a large number of 'spiritual energy bags' and 'black silk threads', the lack of qualifications can be completely ignored.

A stick of incense passed like this.

After Su Xing absorbed all the 'spiritual energy bag' in his hand, a purer and larger spiritual power emerged from his Zifu.

Since then, Su Xing's cultivation level has successfully broken through to the fifth level of Qi training.

Outside the room.

Sensing the disappearance of the movement in Su's bedroom, Big Fatty, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, said: "Boss, did you make a breakthrough just now?"

It could be heard that there was a hint of panic in the fat man's tone, as if something big had happened.

Su Xing said bluntly: "Come in directly. Is there something going on outside?"

"Something really happened."

After sensing that Su Xing's strength had improved, the big fat man showed a real expression.

He replied: "Just now, when the third child went to buy dry food on the street, he found a group of monks guarding the city gate."

"Monk?"

Su Xing frowned and said, "Are those people from the Alchemy Sect?"

"It's not just the Danding Sect." Big Fatty said, "Among that group of people, there are also monks wearing clothes from the Yuanfu Sect and the Qingxiao Sect."

"This battle."

Su Xing sighed: "It seems that all the people from the three major sects in Lingzhou have arrived..."

There are a total of three major sects in Lingzhou.

They are the Danding Sect, the Yuanfu Sect, and the Qingxiao Sect, which is good at refining weapons.

Now, monks from the three major sects have gathered here and set up checkpoints outside the city gate, which shows the seriousness of the situation.

Su Xing thought for a while and said with a solemn expression: "What are those monks guarding outside the city gate doing?"

"not sure."

Big Fatty said: "But according to Lao San, those people seem to be checking the monks entering and leaving the city gate... I suspect that those people are coming for us."

"It should be." Su Xing analyzed: "People from the three sects came here together this time. They are obviously investigating the recent issue of life-span medicine."

The fat man was a little anxious: "What should we do? Should we find a hidden place and hide for a while first?"

"It's definitely useless to just hide..."

Su Xing thought for a while and asked the fat man: "What kind of cultivation skills do those gatekeeper monks have?"

The fat man answered truthfully: "The monks from my Yuanfu Sect are basically outer disciples, so I expect that the same is true for the Danding Sect and Qingxiao Sect."

All three major sects in Lingzhou have regulations:

Among the outer disciples, those who reach the sixth level of Qi training before the age of thirty can be promoted to inner disciples.

Anyone who reaches the sixth level of Qi training after the age of thirty can be promoted to a sect steward.

In other words, all monks above the sixth level of qi training are in high positions in the sect, and it is impossible for them to come and set up a card at the gate of the city.

Therefore, the cultivation level of the group of outer disciples guarding the city gate should not exceed the sixth level of Qi training...

Thinking of this, Su Xing had an idea in his mind.

Although the monks guarding the city are outnumbered, they are only using the spiritual stones to do things. If they are really in danger, they will not risk their lives.

Therefore, facing the monks guarding the city outside the city, Su Xing does not need to be too strong.

He only needs to break through to the sixth level of Qi training, which is enough to make the monks outside the city throw their weapons at him and give him some hesitation.

And it is not impossible to advance to the sixth level of Qi training during this period of time.

Lingzhou City has a population of tens of thousands, and there are no less than a hundred monks in the Qi training stage.

It will take a long time for the three major sects to investigate these people one by one and finally find Su Xing and the Big Fat trio.

That's the case.

Su Xing can take advantage of this period to collect 'black threads' by selling longevity medicine in order to improve his cultivation.

By then, he would naturally have the strength to fight against those monks guarding the city.

In the hotel room.

After Su Xing summoned the fat trio, he ordered: "I will give you all the spiritual stones now. You can find a way to collect purple ginseng grass, mica, polygonatum and other materials. I will use these materials to break through to the sixth level of Qi training."

layer."

"How to break through?" Big Fatty asked casually.

"You don't have to worry about it, just do it."

Su Xing hesitated for a moment and then added: "In addition, you can use the extra spiritual stones to buy 'spiritual energy bags' and try your best to improve your cultivation within these few days."

After hearing Su Xing's instructions, Big Fatty had already guessed his purpose: "Boss, you don't want to force them out from the city gate, do you?"

"I think so too!"

…

Danding Sect.

dungeon.

Wang Bei couldn't figure it out.

A few days ago, he just stole a few herbs from the elixir garden and was imprisoned in this dungeon by the sect.

The monster in the elixir garden was not brought into the sect by him, and the death of Manager Fu had nothing to do with him.

He just stole a few herbs, as for being imprisoned in this hellish place?

Wangbei was complaining in his heart when he suddenly heard some movement in the corridor, so he raised his head and took a look.

He discovered that only one of the two inner disciples who had been tortured and extorted yesterday was brought back alive by mortal servants.

It is said that the two inner disciples were related to Li Aotian's death, and therefore they were tortured to extract confessions.

Out of curiosity, Wangbei approached the cell door and asked the inner disciple: "Senior brother! That senior brother! May I ask how you were imprisoned here?"

Opposite the cell.

Hearing someone shouting, the inner disciple just raised his head and glanced north, but was unable to speak.

Seeing this, Wangbei was not going to give up.

He asked again: "Brother, are you okay? You..."

Wang Bei was about to say something, trying to find out more information, when he saw an inexplicable vibration coming from the ground.

This shock made Wangbei recall the scene when Manager Fu was killed...

It can't really be such a coincidence, right?

As Wangbei thought about this, he noticed that the shaking on the ground became more and more intense.

Suddenly, a blood-red figure emerged from the ground, spit out a long tongue and wrapped it around Wangbei, dragging it into the ground easily.

After some time.

The blood-red figure emerged from the ground again and began to attack the monks in other cells...

Most of the monks in the dungeon were hungry or injured, and the cells restricted their range of activities.

Facing the elusive blood-red monster, these people had no power to resist at all.

In less than a stick of incense, all the prisoners in the dungeon were dragged underground one after another like Wang Bei.

Deep underground.

I don’t know how long it has been...

When Wang Bei regained consciousness, he saw that he was already in an underground cave.

With the faint light in the cave, I looked north and discovered nearly a hundred corpses on the ground.

Each of these corpses has a tentacle piercing into its mouth, and the other end is connected to the surface of a 'red egg'.
