I practiced with a cheat

At this time a year ago, Zhou Heng was only at the ninth level, just qualified to walk in the world.

At that time, he was still struggling for a living, and a few dozen taels of silver could make him unable to walk.

At that time, the names of "Sword Maniac" Fang Wen and "Three Flower Boy" Chen An were circulated in the world, and they were admired by countless people and envied by others.

At that time, the secret sixth level was still high and unmatched.

Now, no matter what the world is like, he has undergone earth-shaking changes. Seeing the list of people being watched, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

With some emotion, Zhou Heng moved forward to watch this new list of people.

Wang Xiuye ​​ranked tenth... Gu Xiao was eighth... "Three Flower Boy" Chen An was still there, but his ranking had dropped to sixth. Chu Qingchuan made rapid progress and ranked fifth... Yaochi Sect's "White Dragon Girl of Tianshan" Li Qingyao seemed to have made great progress and ranked third...

Some of these people were Zhou Heng's friends, some were enemies, and some were just acquaintances. Looking at the information about these people on the list, he felt a little emotional.

However, when he saw the top two, his eyes condensed slightly.

Second place: "Divine Light to Suppress All Things" Liu Changsheng, the true disciple of the Five Elements Sect...

First place: "Sword Maniac" Fang Wen, the true disciple of the Way of Immortality...

"Liu Changsheng, he appeared again. I heard that he went to Northern Zhou before. It seems that he must have had some adventures there." Zhou Heng had a complicated feeling about Liu Changsheng.

This was the person who allowed him to step into the ninth rank in advance and save Yu He's life. It was a bit of a favor, but Liu Changsheng's father was also killed by him. It is true that Liu Gaoyang brought it upon himself, but this was also the revenge for killing his father after all.

"He came back from the Northern Zhou Dynasty because he felt that his strength had improved and that he could fight me?" Zhou Heng shook his head lightly and sighed in his heart: "It's a pity that I'm already at the sixth level of the Secret Level."

Then, his eyes turned to Fang Wen, who was ranked first.

After the February 2nd Chaoyang Cocktail Party, Fang Wen disappeared in Yuan Zhenzi's cave. Zhou Heng thought he was dead and felt sorry for losing the one who fought with him.

I didn't expect him to be back in the arena again.

I just don't know if his swordsmanship has improved and whether he has really stepped out of his own path.

"It's a pity for the people behind, who will always be suppressed by this eternal number one on the list." Zhou Heng laughed in his heart.

Then, he glanced at the rankings behind him and was about to leave the crowd, but suddenly heard some people whispering.

"Finally, only people from our Great Qi are in the top ten of this list. It's not easy."

"Since March, those southern barbarians have always come to our Jiangzhou, and challenged young masters everywhere, taking away many rankings on the list. It's really abominable."

"That's right, these barbarians from Southern Jin are too abominable. Not only do they occupy the rankings on the list, but they also want to occupy the 300-mile mountains near the border in our Jiangzhou. Our court doesn't care about it."

"Humph, the Zhao family court is now busy with its own affairs, so how can it care about us? And I heard that the damn prince sold our Jiangzhou, Yuzhou and Jinzhou to Southern Jin.

"Damn, such a court is useless. It doesn't even protect its own territory!"

"Bah, don't talk nonsense. You will be beheaded if you make irresponsible remarks about the court!"

"Humph, didn't they say they were busy with their own affairs? "

...

Zhou Heng frowned as he listened to the discussions of these people.

Jiangzhou, Jinzhou, Yuzhou...

The situation in these three states was more serious than he had expected. Needless to say, Yuzhou almost became the private land of Jiaye Temple. Jiangzhou also had the strength of Southern Jin to invade and even occupy the mountains.

However, although the Zhao family court lost the crown prince and a sixteenth prince, and the imperial city also suffered a great chaos, the gods and the first-class gods were still there, so how could they not be able to take care of themselves?

However, judging from the situation in the past few months, the Zhao family court has indeed intervened less and less in worldly affairs. If it were not for the sense of responsibility of the county governments in various places, Da Qi would probably enter a state without a court.

"Is there something wrong with the top leaders of the Zhao family? "Zhou Heng thought to himself, and made a decision after a little thought.

After refining the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, he will go to the Zhoutian Patrol Division to inquire about the situation. The members of the organization have their own backgrounds and have a wider range of information. When he arrives at the Lan family, he can also ask Fang Su Lan Yingzhi.

With a plan in mind, Zhou Heng left the crowd and stopped looking at the list.

There are few heroes in the world, and the list of people is competing for the top. This kind of life has nothing to do with him.

The next road is immortality.

...

Soon after Zhou Heng left the crowd, people from the Jiangzhou Lan family came to greet him.

These are the people Lan Yingzhi had arranged long ago. They were in the city seven days in advance. They were waiting outside the inner city, so as not to neglect Zhou Heng and to welcome him as soon as possible.

Of course, the people who were sent out to welcome Zhou Heng must have had good eyesight. They did not disturb Zhou Heng when he was looking at the ranking of the people list, but waited until he left the crowd before going over.

When he arrived at the Lan Mansion, before he reached the door, Zhou Heng saw Lan Yingzhi. Next to her stood Lan Ying, the ancestor of the Lan family, and behind her were a group of Lan family children.

They were all here to welcome Zhou Heng.

After the ancestor of the Lan family successfully extended his life, Lan Yingzhi's actions were obviously much more relaxed. She no longer hesitated and directly welcomed Zhou Heng in such a grand manner.

"Senior, this scene is scary enough." Zhou Heng said with a smile.

"Sir, you have done a great favor to my Lan family, so you deserve such a welcome." Lan Yingzhi smiled and said, "Moreover, when the old ancestor heard that you were coming, he also specifically told me to do my best to welcome you."

"Yes, if it weren't for your kindness, my old bones would have been buried." Lan Ying leaned on a cane with a smile on her face, "Mr. Zhou, please come in, I have asked someone to prepare a banquet to welcome you."

Then, the Lan family members behind the two of them hurriedly made way for Zhou Heng to enter the main gate.

Such a scene attracted the attention of passers-by, and many people whispered.

"Who is it? Such a grand ceremony, the ancestor of the Lan family actually came out to greet him personally. This is a top-level fourth-grade grandmaster."

"Zhou Heng, it's Zhou Heng, the reincarnation of the great man from Chunyang Palace. It is said that he is now a secret sixth-grade master. A few days ago, he defeated the monks from Jiaye Temple in the neighboring Yuzhou."

"So it's him, the junior brother who ranks first on the Heavenly Ranking, but even so, it's not worth it for a grandmaster like Lan Ying to go out to greet him. There must be other factors."

"Hey, you don't know this, I think the rumor that the ancestor of the Lan family is about to die is probably true."

"I see, I see! So that's the case. It seems that the Lan family really has a chance to become a celestial family!"

"Huh? What? What's the situation? Explain it clearly!"

Some people understood, some were confused, and some officers from the county government office saw that a big shot had come, and hurried back to the government office to report how to deal with it.

Ordinary secret sixth-grade people naturally don't have this treatment.

But Zhou Heng is different.

This is a big shot that the county governor specifically told not to neglect.

...

The Lan family really values ​​Zhou Heng.

At this welcoming banquet, in addition to Lan Ying, the top fourth-grade grandmaster, there are four fifth-grade grandmasters including Lan Yingzhi, all of whom are high-level leaders of the Lan family.

In addition, there are two young sixth-grade secret masters, who are the backbone of the Lan family.

After several rounds of courtesy, three rounds of wine.

Zhou Heng directly stated his purpose and asked when he could refine the magic weapon.

In fact, Lan Yingzhi and Lan Ying both knew about this.

After all, Zhou Heng had already told Lan Yingzhi about it in April, but at this welcoming banquet, neither of them mentioned it, so Zhou Heng took the initiative to say it.

He instinctively felt that something might have gone wrong with the Lan family.

Sure enough, as soon as this topic was mentioned, Lan Yingzhi and Lan Ying's faces changed, as if they were a little ashamed, and several other people beside them also lowered their heads.

"What happened, senior, why don't you just tell me directly." Zhou Heng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Please forgive me, sir. It's not that we deliberately avoided talking about it. It's just that there are some problems with the casting furnace." Lan Yingzhi had a bitter expression. She stood up and bowed to Zhou Heng to apologize, "Please give us some time, sir. We will negotiate well."

"Tell me about it, maybe I can solve it." Zhou Heng said.

"This..." Lan Yingzhi hesitated.

"Just tell me, sir." Lan Ying sighed and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about this. My dear girl, just tell me."

"Okay..." Lan Yingzhi nodded and said, "Sir, it's like this. More than half a month ago, Tianjianmen, one of the top martial arts sects in Nanjin, occupied the 300-li mountain range near Nanjin in Jiangzhou. Our casting furnace was built there..."

The castings for refining treasure weapons and magic weapons are not ordinary furnaces. They are usually large furnaces built by guiding the earth fire according to the terrain of the mountains. They must be assisted by various forbidden rune formations to be truly used to refine treasure weapons or magic weapons.

Such a small casting would occupy a mountain peak, and a larger one would occupy three or five peaks.

"Nanjin Tianjianmen?" Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lan Ying in confusion, "Could it be that Tianjianmen sent a celestial being here, and senior has no way to start?"

"No." Lan Ying shook her head and said, "It's just a fifth-grade master."

"Why?" Zhou Heng frowned.

"Grandfather..." Lan Yingzhi hesitated.

"It doesn't matter, there's nothing to say." Lan Ying sighed and said, "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by the master of Tianjianmen. When the master of Tianjianmen occupied the three hundred miles of mountains where the casting furnace is located, I went to find that person, and then I was defeated."

"How is it possible?" Zhou Heng was surprised. Lan Ying was a thousand-year-old fourth-grade master, and his realm cultivation was close to the realm of heaven and man, but he was defeated by a fifth-grade master.

At the level of the middle third grade, it is extremely difficult to win across levels, and it is almost impossible. Even as strong as Zhou Heng, it is difficult to beat the fifth-grade master at the sixth-grade level.

The suppression of the realm of the Supreme Fourth Rank on the Fifth Rank of the Sect will only be stronger and greater. The power of the Yang God Dharma Body is definitely not comparable to that of the Dharma Body. The gap between the two is like a natural chasm, almost impossible to cross.

Especially Lan Ying is not an ordinary Supreme Fourth Rank. This is a top-level grandmaster who has stayed in the realm of the Yang God Dharma Body for at least 500 years. How could he be defeated by a Fifth Rank of the Sect?

Unless...

"Does this person have a magic weapon in hand?" Zhou Heng thought of a possibility.

In terms of cross-level combat, high-level magic weapons are definitely first-class killers.

Unlike weapons that need to have sufficient strength to exert powerful power, magic weapons have various wonderful uses. As long as there is a corresponding ritual formula and it is successfully activated, it can exert a high power.

However, even if there is a magic weapon in hand, if you want to narrow the realm gap between the Fifth Rank of the Sect and the Supreme Fourth Rank, you may need a magic weapon of the Third Rank of the Heaven.

"That's right." Lan Ying nodded, with a look of shame on her face, "No matter how high you practice, you can't compete with the power of the magic weapon. This is true. After the old man passed away, he only had a face-to-face encounter with the young man, and even I didn’t see the appearance of the magic weapon clearly, so I was knocked back hundreds of miles.”

Hiss!

The surrounding Lan family disciples couldn't help but gasp. Although they all knew that their ancestors were repelled by someone using artifacts and magic weapons, this was the first time they heard the details.

It was too terrifying to be driven back hundreds of miles without even seeing the appearance of the magic weapon. Is this a third-level divine weapon and magic weapon?

It's too strong!

"Sir, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid we can't make the weapon we promised before." Lan Ying looked apologetic and wanted to apologize to Zhou Heng.

"Senior, you don't have to be like this." Zhou Heng stopped Lan Ying's movement and said, "As long as we can recapture the casting furnace, the refining can proceed normally, right?"

"Having said that, but..." Lan Ying originally wanted to explain, but she stopped mid-sentence, and then gritted her teeth and said: "Sir, don't worry, I will go back and try my best to get the furnace back." !”

"Ancestor!" Lan Yingzhi wanted to persuade.

After all, the artifacts and magic weapons are too dangerous and extremely powerful. Last time they were only knocked back hundreds of miles, but this time they may be injured.

"Old senior, you misunderstood." Zhou Heng shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I'm not letting you go over there, I mean, I'm going over to meet the master of the Sword Sect that day."

"What?" Lan Ying, Lan Yingzhi and others looked at Zhou Heng in shock when they heard this, then shook their heads and said in unison: "No!"

"Sir, you just heard what our ancestors said." Lan Yingzhi looked anxious and said: "That man's magical weapon is extremely powerful, and even the fourth-level master like our ancestors has no power to fight back. You, how can you Could he be the opponent of this magic weapon?"

"Yes, sir, you are the benefactor of our Lan family. How could we let you be in such danger?" Lan Ying also shook her head repeatedly and said: "Absolutely not, absolutely not. Sir, just wait here. Yes, just let the old man go."

"You misunderstood." Zhou Heng waved his hand, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "If I didn't have the means to restrain the magic weapon, how could I easily be in danger?

"Don't worry, everyone. The master of the Sword Sect has a magic weapon that day, and I also have my own secret method, which can make the magic weapon useless, and then I will naturally subdue that person."

Magic weapon!

Tiansanpin!

Luobao Jinguang is already so thirsty!
