The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became about those two junior brothers.

Song Zhixian immediately handed the formation plate to his junior fellow apprentice and prepared to chase after them to help the two.

The other fellow disciples naturally had no objection; they had wanted to help in the first place, but there were still two enemies among them.

Let the eldest brother handle it, and we can focus on dealing with the other two people who are still here.

Setting up the escape light, Song Zhixian passed directly through the formation, found a figure that could still be seen in the distance, and immediately chased after it.

On the way, Song Zhixian discovered that this direction actually led to the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. He became even more worried and his escape speed increased again.

Escaping from the formation, Hu Shi fled all the way into the depths of the mountains, a direction he had explored before.

It was because I was familiar with the place last time I went there, and I didn't see any high-level monsters.

He naturally chose this path in order to scare off the two people chasing him.

Now he no longer has much magic power to squander. He had to maintain the Yinhun Banner for a whole night and control the Ghost King, and still suffered backlash. His magic power and spirit were already exhausted.

There are not many means available.

A sense of threat of death came over Hu Shi, and he became more and more uneasy.

……

In an unnamed cave.

Li Qing was eating a spiritual fruit in his nest, which he got from the last battle.

It is called "Amber Fruit", a main material for refining beauty pills, and there are many of them in the storage bag.

This elixir has little effect, but it is very popular in the market. Li Qing had heard of it when he was in the Beast Taming Sect.

It can keep your appearance unchanged for a month. Taking it every one month is equivalent to freezing your appearance. It is deeply loved by Kun Xiu.

Li Qing certainly didn't eat this fruit to preserve his appearance.

Just because it tasted delicious and had a jelly-like texture, it made him a little greedy.

But he has a treasure pot, so he doesn't need to worry about such consumption.

The sun is just rising now.

Li Qing has lived here for three days.

After discovering yesterday that some cultivators came here to look for the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, a plan emerged in his mind.

However, all this depends on how long it takes to replicate the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit.

According to previous speculation, this natural third-level spiritual creature might take three days.

Now it has only been copied for one day and one night, and it will take two more days.

Li Qing looked through the wall at the outside world. He had not closed his eyes since he last met a monk.

He did this naturally for his own life, he didn't believe that there was only one person coming here.

He had fought with a Tribulation Cultivator who possessed the Five Elements Spirit Fruit that day. That man was no weak man. For example, the large number of blood mist flies he possessed were not something that ordinary people could deal with.

Therefore, the person who wants to snatch the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit will not come alone. It will take at least three people to take down the Tribulation Cultivator.

Seeing that the outside world remained the same, Li Qing was about to check the condition of the insect eggs.

But accidents always happen in the next second.

Boom boom!

There was a loud explosion outside the cave, which completely startled Li Qing.

He quickly summoned his demonic power and focused his eyes, looking towards the outside world.

I saw a human-shaped light shadow gradually disappearing, and there were still three light shadows on the side, forming a circle.

The dissipating light and shadow, the color was very familiar to Li Qing. It was the monk who had come yesterday.

Looking at this situation, he began to speculate.

Three against one?

The current situation is either an internal conflict or two groups of people are trying to snatch the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit and a conflict has occurred.

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief after watching the three people stay for a while and then fly away.

He thought to himself, “Maybe the feng shui of the nest I chose this time is bad, because there are always monks outside the door.”

This incident made Li Qing even more afraid to close his eyes, for he was afraid that he would be beaten into the hole one day.

……

Because Hu Shi had exhausted his magic power, he was successfully caught up by the three men.

After a fierce fight.

The result was that Hu Shi's ghost banner was destroyed on the spot and he died tragically.

As it turned out, Song Zhixian's worries were unnecessary.

Hu Shi was no longer in his prime. At that time, when facing a cultivator of the same level, he would have to temporarily avoid the attack, let alone kill him.

One of the three people took the storage bag from Hu Shi and carefully scanned it several times with his spiritual sense. After finding nothing missing, they hurried back together.

Soon, the three of them rushed to the outside of the formation as quickly as possible.

Song Zhixian sent out a talisman and injected it into the formation. Immediately afterwards, the formation barrier surged, a hole opened, and several people stepped into the formation without any hindrance.

But as soon as they entered, they saw four other people looking at them expectantly.

"Big Brother, were you able to successfully kill that Tribulation Cultivator?" one of them asked Song Zhixian expectantly.

Song Zhixian was a little confused when he heard this, but he also answered: "It went smoothly, but the cultivator was a little stubborn, so it took some time."

"Does he have any five-element spiritual fruit on him?"

"I don't know about that. The three of us were worried about the situation of our fellow apprentices, so we rushed here without searching them immediately."

"Check quickly, we only found the remains of a cultivator here, and did not find any Five Elements Spirit Fruit on him." The man became more anxious after hearing the eldest brother's words, and urged the three to check Hu Shi's storage bag.

The three of them also knew the importance of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit. A junior brother behind them immediately took off the storage bag from his waist and checked the items inside.

After checking for a while, he took out a dozen jade boxes and opened them all, but there was still no Five Elements Spirit Fruit.

After checking it out, he shook his head in disappointment and said:

"This person does not have any five-element spiritual fruit."

Upon hearing this, another junior fellow apprentice who had helped him kill the monk snatched the storage bag and probed into it with his spiritual sense.

In a moment, his expression gradually turned ugly.

The other brothers who were watching from the side were also greatly disappointed.

Then, the person who asked the question first recounted what happened after they left.

After they chased the first monk who escaped, the four of them quickly occupied four directions according to the plan and surrounded the center.

But in the end, they only found the body of a monk. As for the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, they thought it would be on Hu Shi.

When Song Zhixian heard this, he immediately took out the Star Compass he borrowed from his master.

He made a hand gesture, released a magical power, and muttered something.

The compass instantly glowed with light, and two pointers condensed with magical power converged into one.

Seeing this, everyone followed the direction of the pointer.

After walking a few steps, he arrived at the corpse.

A quick-witted junior immediately understood what was going on and said with a smile:

"This thief is really good at pretending. If it weren't for Master's Star Compass, we might have been deceived by him."

As he said this, he raised his hand and controlled a flying sword to slash towards the Smiling Monk.

But a shocking thing happened. Not only did the man pretending to be dead show no reaction, but there was only a white mark left where his body was cut.
