Chapter 59 Gift of the Sword
The two exchanged messenger symbols.

"Back to the topic just now, since you have this position in the sect, then help me to see if these people have been resurrected."

As Liu Ping spoke, he made a trick.

The light and shadow rose and condensed into those practitioners who were devoured by ghosts and died.

"It's them... I remember, when do you want an answer?"

Li Changxue asked.

"The sooner the better." Liu Ping said.

"Something to do with the state of the world?" she asked.

"Yes." He said.

"Then I'll go right away." Li Changxue was about to stand up after speaking.

"and many more."

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"It's okay, do you still have the spirit stone?" Liu Ping asked.

Li Changxue paused for a few breaths, untied a small storage bag from his waist, and placed it in front of Liu Ping.

"Here are all my spirit stones, if you want—"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Liu Ping stretched out his hand, and the storage bag flew into his palm.

"Thirty thousand spirit stones? It's really a loss-making business, forget it, it seems that spirit stones are more valuable now..."

Liu Ping put away the storage bag, and casually threw a sword to the opponent.

This is a slightly shorter, delicate and slender long sword.

"Lisang! Our town's artifact."

Li Changxue caressed the long sword lightly, with a hint of excitement in his expression.

Liu Ping said: "I have accepted your spirit stone, this sword is considered to be sold to you."

Li Changxue was dumbfounded.

Artifacts are always priceless.

No matter how many spirit stones and treasures you have, you can't buy a single artifact.

"Why?" she asked.

"I pretended to be you and tricked your big brother just now. If he is still alive, he will definitely come to seek revenge on you. Your cultivation base is about to rise to a level, and then you have two swords in hand, so you are not afraid of him dealing with you .” Liu Ping said.

"I see." Li Changxue said.

The elder brother is a god-turning cultivator, so he specially set up this game to target Li Changxue.

So she must have the ability to protect herself!
Both Liu Ping and Li Changxue knew this clearly in their hearts.

After speaking, the two fell into silence.

Liu Ping thought for a while, and said, "I'm begging you, as soon as there is any news, please send me the messenger talisman."

"Okay, where are you going now?" Li Changxue asked.

"I should go back." Liu Ping got up and said.

"Back to that town?"

"Yes."

Liu Ping nodded at Li Changxue, turned around, and quickly disappeared into the jungle.

He walked for a long time before Li Changxue slowly stood up.

"For [-] Lingshi, are you willing to give me the Excalibur?"

"I'm not a fool, all you did was to help me...not like the elder brother..."

Li Changxue stared at the direction where Liu Ping disappeared.

She stood there for a while, then took out a communication talisman, said into it:
"Senior sister, don't say anything, quietly help me find a few jade slips for dual cultivation."

"... Please help me choose the best one."

After speaking, the communication talisman turned into flames and flew away.

the other side.

Liu Ping made a big circle in the jungle, found a secluded place, and stretched out his color clothes again.

He sat cross-legged, poured out a pill and put it in his mouth, and then started to practice.

Since he didn't know if the monster named "The Lord of Crawling in Nightmare" would come back again, he didn't plan to return to Dark Mist Town immediately.

Spiritual practice.

Practice is the foundation of everything.

Jindan is just the beginning.

After all, countless secret techniques and combat methods require a huge amount of spiritual power to release.

Long night.

Time passed bit by bit.

a moment.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared in the void:
"Notice."

"It will be dawn in a quarter of an hour, and the world of life and the world of death will soon be separated."

Liu Ping opened his eyes.

If there is substantial spiritual power bursting out from his body, it will be withdrawn into his body after a few breaths.

It is still in the early stage of Jindan, but the foundation is getting stronger and can break through upwards at any time.

——Originally, it was the capital of the sky. After changing the fate, all the problems in the body disappeared. This kind of practice speed can only be said to be extremely normal.

He stood up and ran in the direction of Dark Mist Town.

After about a few minutes.

The woods ahead became thinner, and gradually the outline of the wilderness could be seen.

suddenly.

There was an extremely slight sound next to his ear.

Liu Ping slammed on a branch and froze on the spot.

He pretended to be listening attentively, and secretly let out his divine sense to sweep away.

"What's that sound? Who's there?"

While talking, he leaned towards a big tree in front left.

The tree trembled for a few seconds.

Soon, a face protruded from the bark and appeared in front of Willow.

"help me……"

That face was fixed on Liu Ping, and he swept up and down, his eyes full of hesitation.

——It’s Big Brother.

Li Changxue's big brother!
It's just that compared with the high-spiritedness before, he is obviously in a state of exhaustion at this moment.

"... Dryad? Are you a tree demon?" Liu Ping asked vigilantly.

The face struggled, as if trying to emerge from the tree, but failed.

He panted a few times, and said wearily: "No, Fellow Daoist, I am trapped in this tree, please lend a helping hand, I will surely have—"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Opposite him, Liu Ping took out the double-barreled shotgun, and said impatiently: "So it's you cultivators again, come, I'll see you off."

Unexpectedly, seeing the double-barreled shotgun on that face, the desire for life suddenly appeared in his eyes.

As if he had gained some hope, he laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, that's great, it turned out to be one of our own—listen well, the bartender in your Dark Mist Town is receptionist No. 03687, and the leader of the night watchman is Karadu, right?"

Bet right!
He is from the living world!

Liu Ping settled down, and put down the double-barreled shotgun.

——In fact, once the night comes, people in Dark Fog Town will wear the clothes of the practice world, and the senior brother has only seen "Li Changxue" and never seen himself.

So when he saw himself just now, his first reaction was "this is a practitioner".

Then, he showed hesitation, struggled desperately, and finally called for help when he had no other choice. This was because——

He deeply knows the rules of the practice world.

——When an unknown fellow Taoist is in trouble, it is better to kill and seize treasure than to help.

Because you don't know what magical powers the other party has.

In case of saving the opponent, after the opponent recovers, it is not worthwhile to kill with a backhand.

But the other party has the title of "Spirit Catcher" and is not a person who practices the world.

Only then did Liu Ping take out his double-barreled shotgun.

Sure enough, the other party was immediately overjoyed after seeing it.

"How do you know so much about our Dark Fog Town?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

"Of course it's because it's my own, little brother, hurry up, I'll know when I meet you all, hurry up and saw off this tree, and take me to Dark Mist Town." The other party urged.

"Okay, for the sake of you knowing everything." Liu Ping said.

He didn't have any tools at hand, so he simply shot a few shots at the root of the tree with the gun in his hand, and then punched him hard, and the tree broke like this.

Liu Ping carried the tree and ran all the way to Dark Mist Town.

This time the time was really tight, and there was no longer any delay, Liu Ping ran with all his strength, and finally rushed back to Dark Mist Town in the last few minutes.

"Huchi-huchi-"

Drenched in sweat, he placed the tree among the ruins.

At this time, the entire Dark Mist Town has been completely razed to the ground, and there is not even half a towering building as far as the eye can see.

"What should we do now?" Liu Ping asked.

"The only thing we can do is wait until the time passes and the day will come." said the face on the tree.

Liu Ping sat down on another pile of bricks and asked curiously, "Brother, why did you become a tree?"

"It's a long story, and it's a secret. If you find out, you might be executed." That face said.

Liu Ping was taken aback, quickly waved his hands and said, "Then I don't want to know."

"Well, that's right." That face said with satisfaction.

It stared at Liu Ping, thought for a while, and asked, "You must be a night watchman, how old are you?"

"Nineteen, twenty soon." Liu Ping said.

"It's not easy to become a night watchman at such a young age. Where are you from?"

"Wilderness, Bluegrass Valley—our valley was swallowed by the world of death, and only I came back alive."

"What luck, what ability do you have?"

"The intuition is very accurate when fighting, and the intuition is also very accurate in life and death."

The face smiled and said:
"Those who can survive in the wilderness must have beast-like intuition, and you have explained this very well."

At this time, a little glow appeared in the sky, gradually blurring in the darkness.

Dawn finally came.

Almost instantly, all the darkness quickly faded away and disappeared completely.

The sky is getting white.

The wind from the wilderness blew with a damp breath.

The world is bright.

Liu Ping said with emotion: "It's good to be alive."

"Yeah, we finally came back alive." That face also said with emotion.

"But none of my companions showed up, they are all dead." Liu Ping showed a sad look.

The face looked at him.

19 years old... Possess amazing intuition, and the ability to survive is better than most people.

He saved himself when he was about to be taken away by the world of death.

"Listen, boy, you saved my life, and I'll soon let you know how important it was to save me," said the face.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Ping asked puzzled.

The face opened its mouth and spit out a card.

I saw a burning temple painted on the card, which was full of strange non-human creatures. These creatures sat around a scale, and their eyes were fixed on both ends of the scale.
