An eerie atmosphere rises like a fog in someone's heart.

In the field of vision, shrouded in a poisonous mist full of psychedelic purple, hundreds of beating monk souls were diffusing a milky white glow. They are like a swarm of active white fireflies, rising and falling at will, with an unpredictable rhythm...... It's just that......

This rhythm was accomplished under some kind of drive, and the initiator of this drive for these hundreds of souls was none other than the naked Golden Skull Monk: Jin Xiu.

"Jin Xiu?" Lu Chen was taken aback when he saw Jin Xiu sitting on the surface of the ground paved with sludge and dead leaves.

The reason for the surprise was not only because the black cloak had disappeared, revealing the golden skeletal appearance of Jin Xiu himself. What Lu Chen couldn't believe the most was that the current trick on Jin Xiu's ten-joint fingers was the routine of soul cultivation.

"I'll it, when did Jin Xiu become so awesome, and he even learned the soul cultivation technique......" Marveling and puzzled in his heart, Lu Chen didn't dare to speak, staring at Jin Xiu tightly and walked to the side of a giant tree to sit quietly and observe.

Jin Xiu didn't seem to notice Lu Chen's appearance, and the ten knuckle fingers were still undergoing complex changes, and as his spiritual sense drove them, one soul after another rushed into Jin Xiu's skull.

"Ding~"

Lu Chen, who was connected to Jin Xiu's mind, suddenly felt a crisp sound in his mind, followed by a message emerging: "Eighth-layer ...... of Qi Training"

"Uh...... Broke through the ......"

"Ding~"

"Uh...... Broke through again ...... This time it's a ninth-layer ......" Lu Chen slowly changed from sitting to squatting, but he still didn't stop it. After all, now that he is a tenth-level Qi cultivator, he can let Jin Xiu break through to the early stage of foundation building.

As expected, when all the souls hovering above Jin Xiu's head submerged into his skull, two more crisp sounds rang out in Lu Chen's mind.

"I~, foundation building period?"

At this moment, Lu Chen stood up in shock, and his excitement made him clench his fists unbearably.

"The skeleton monk in the foundation building period is stronger than me......?

At this time, Jin Xiu turned around, revealing that little golden face in the shape of a skeleton, and if he was not mistaken, he was smiling at Lu Chen......

"Master, I've finally found you......"

"Huh?" Lu Chen was in a daze, and unconsciously a call of surprise sounded in the depths of his mind, he subconsciously looked around him, and did not find anyone present except Jin Xiu.

"Could it be ......" Lu Chen looked at Jin Xiu in surprise, stretched out his hand, and said in surprise: "You called me?"

"Quack...... ......The jaw and upper teeth rattled with a familiar rattle, and at the same time, the calling tone rippled in the spiritual sea, like an echo.

"It's me, master, Jin Xiu has finally found you......"

Click......

The voice of surprise was still echoing in the sea of spiritual consciousness, and Jin Xiu had already opened two slender leg bones and ran over, this kind of scene ...... Well, it's scary enough.

"You?" Lu Chen was taken aback, looking Jin Xiu up and down and closing his mouth in fright: "Why do you know how to speak?"

Click......

Jin Xiu stretched out his hand and scratched his head embarrassedly (although Lu Chen couldn't see his expression), he still thought it was a somewhat embarrassing move, Jin Xiu said: "Master, I am already in the realm of the foundation building period, and I can use my spiritual sense to communicate with you." ”

"So, how did you learn the Soul Cultivation Technique?" Lu Chen asked.

Jin Xiu laughed and said, "Actually, the master used it twice, and Jin Xiu learned it." ”

"I see. Lu Chen suddenly realized, he didn't expect the little skeleton to be extremely smart, and he only used it twice for him to learn. Regardless of the reason, anyway, Lu Chen was in a good mood at this time, laughed and patted Jin Xiu's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect you and my master and servant to have gained, it's really gratifying, alas, if it weren't for your appearance, now we would go to Xianmeng City to have a drink and celebrate." ”

Jin Xiu obviously had a child-like surname, and replied immaturely: "I want to too, but unfortunately I can't." ”

Lowering his head a little stupidly, Jin Xiu suddenly danced excitedly and said, "Master, you wait." ”

As he spoke, Jin Xiu ran to the back of a tree, fumbled for a while, and turned around and walked out.

Lu Chen was still puzzled, not knowing what he was going to do, but when Lu Chen saw Jin Xiu again, he smiled smugly, and grinned the corners of his mouth under his ears.

The reason for this was entirely because when Jin Xiu walked out of the tree, he had two more things in his hands: a flying shield, a purple electric cone, and a bag of plant seeds wrapped in cloth and a bag of crystals condensed from an unknown substance.

The two lower-grade magic weapons belonged to Li Yangchao and Zeng Li respectively, but now the two of them have no bones, so naturally this magic weapon has become an ownerless thing.

"The host...... This is the treasure of Li Yangchao and Zeng Li, and when Jin Xiu came up at the bottom of the black mud pool, he picked it up. With that, Jin Xiu handed the two magic weapons to Lu Chen.

After refining the Feiming Shield and the Purple Electric Cone Dripping Blood Sacrifice and turning them into his own magic weapons, Lu Chen casually took out a wide black cloak and helped Jin Xiu put it on, and said: "Haha, now that you are in the early stage of foundation building, I have also reached the peak of the tenth layer of Qi training, and I will take you to eat and drink spicy food in the future, haha~"

"Quack...... Quack ......" Jin Xiu immediately laughed as well.

"Huh, by the way, what about the green lotus root?" After laughing for a while, Lu Chen's eyes swept into the black mud pool water, and he didn't find the green lotus root, so he couldn't help asking.

Jin Xiu pointed to the bag of seeds and said: "Master, then you hit out the talisman, and smashed the purple-eyed Zhu Toad and Zeng Li at once, and the green lotus was also destroyed at the same time, the two of them and the green lotus root and the green lotus lost their aura protection, and they had long been corroded by the sludge of the black mud pool, only these green lotus seeds remained, Jin Xiu saw that they were not corroded by the poisonous water of the black mud pond and put them away; Quack ......"

"Oh~" Lu Chen suddenly realized, and there was a small sense of loss in his heart, but he immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "It's okay, I won't do alchemy anyway, this thing is just a spirit stone for me, if it's gone, it's gone, but this green lotus root and green lotus seed are not corroded by the pool water, it's not extraordinary, haha, let's go, let's go back to Xianmeng City first." ”

The smug laughter spread far away, declaring the wonderful mood of the master and servant in the forest, but just when Lu Chen was about to put Jin Xiu away, the forest outside the purple mist suddenly remembered the hurried and messy footsteps......

"Whew~" is the sound of the grass being pulled down......

"Who?"

Lu Chen was startled, and his eyes looked in the direction where the sound came from. This question really alarmed a certain figure who had been hiding outside for a long time, and the man was startled, and hurriedly sacrificed his sword and swept away into the distance......

"It's not good, it's been discovered, Jin Xiu, catch up and leave him ......" The thoughtful Lu Chen immediately noticed something unusual, and while urging, he also took out the flying sword and chased after him.

"Huh~"

Lu Chen just flew up, only to feel a golden light chasing after him at a speed of at least twice as fast as him, Lu Chen's mouth opened wide: "Damn, how can this kid Jin Xiu ...... fast?"

Lu Chen urged the mana, infused the flying sword, and the speed was steep, and this swept out, only to hear a painful snort from the place where the golden light flashed in the forest: "Ah~"

"Poof~"

A fountain of blood erupted, followed by a figure falling from the sky.

Lu Chen hurriedly chased forward, only to see Jin Xiu stepping on a young monk in a yellow robe, and was using a bright golden knife against this person's jaw......

Lu Chen stepped forward with a gloomy face, looking at the monk with a frightened face, his spiritual sense swept slightly, and he practiced ten layers of Qi cultivation.

His complexion changed, and Lu Chen asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" What did you see just now?"

The monk was obviously frightened, holding his right leg and curling up, begging for mercy in fear: "The great immortal spares his life, the little one has not seen anything, he has not seen it." ”

"Didn't you see it?" Lu Chen looked at the monk, and after a while, he suddenly noticed that there was a sign of a cloud on his cuff, and this sign seemed to be seen somewhere.

"Guiyuan Sect?Zeng Li?" After a moment of contemplation, Lu Chen's face suddenly turned iron-blue, he did recognize this sign, because when he said that Zeng Li was wearing a cyan robe with such a sign.

"Are you from the Guiyuan Sect?"

The young man's expression changed slightly, and he said casually: "No, it's not ......."

"Isn't it?" Lu Chen viciously pointed to the cuffs of his robe and said, "Then what is this?"

At this moment, the young man finally couldn't hide it, maybe he knew that he was going to die, the young man suddenly grinned and said arrogantly: "Yuhu, you killed Senior Brother Zeng Li, your good life is over, Uncle Shi will definitely not let you go, you wait for death." ”

The young man was ruthless, lying on the ground and roaring, Lu Chen's expression changed suddenly when he saw this, and he suddenly shouted: "Kill him." ”

"Poof~"

Jin Xiu lowered the knife extremely quickly, and at the same time as Lu Chen's murderous intent was about to rise, the golden knife had already wiped the young man's neck. It's just that at this time, a burnt smell of yellow paper being ignited still came out.

Lu Chen wanted to continue to inquire about the sudden arrival of the Guiyuan Sect, but when he found out that the young man said these words with a mortal heart, he knew that the other party was going to use the transmission note, so he hurriedly issued a killing order. However, it still didn't come in time......

In the palm of the young man's hand, a handful of black ash floated into the air as his palm opened.

"Go ......"
