Mortal Mage

-

A dignified aura hits you in the face, making you lose all the courage to take another step forward.

"Master, a third-level monster."

Hao Fen stood behind Zhang Mingxuan.

Zhang Mingxuan stood at the bottom of the pit, and when he looked up, he saw a man in a dark blue robe with animal patterns and a man in a scarlet robe with flames looking down at him.

Behind the two men stood two monsters with horse bodies, lion heads, and deer horns.

That awe-inspiring aura was emanating from these two monsters.

Unconcealed and without scruples.

When the man in the animal-patterned robe first saw Hao Fen, his pupils shrank slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he blinked quickly; "How dare you, you bold fox demon, cause trouble in my Xuantian Sword Sect's territory!" As soon as he finished speaking, a flying sword shot out with a "ying" sound, and suddenly landed on Hao Fen's frosty neck.

In his eyes, Zhang Mingxuan seemed to not exist.

"Owner."

Haofen screamed with a trembling voice and hurriedly hugged Zhang Mingxuan's arms.

"I am a patrolman in the Lihuo District, and this is my demon slave. I hope the two stewards can understand this."

Zhang Mingxuan frowned slightly, feeling unhappy.

As he walked out of the canal, the two men kept using their spiritual sense to investigate. He also sent messages to make it clear many times that his identity as a mountain patroller was already confirmed, otherwise the two men would have taken action long ago.

But his realm, cultivation and experience are not enough. At this time he can only use the most basic method to see if he can deal with it.

He took out the sect's badge and at the same time, he held a medium-grade spirit stone and threw it at the man in the animal-patterned robe.

Two medium-grade spirit stones are still worth a lot.

The man in the animal-patterned robe took the sect's waist badge and spirit stone, lowered his eyelids, and threw one to the man in the flaming robe, while giving him a puzzled look.

Zhang Mingxuan's body was examined again by the two men. This time it was not an ordinary examination. Instead, the examination entered through the pores and traveled through his meridians.

"Open your Qi Sea so I can investigate, otherwise I'll treat you as a demon cultivator and kill you!"

Ordinary investigations can only detect the internal organs, and the cultivation level can be indirectly inferred based on the strength of the body's ability to absorb spiritual energy.

But if you want to truly understand the hidden cultivation of others, you must probe your spiritual consciousness into the other person's Dantian Qi Sea.

If you probe into another person's Qi Sea, you can not only see the capacity of the Qi Sea but also the type of spiritual energy remaining in the Qi Sea, and infer the other person's spiritual roots, and even infer what type of practice they are doing, as well as the future practice speed and upper limit.

Except for elders and masters who want to guide their cultivation, no one would make such unreasonable requests as checking other people's Dantian and Qi Hai.

This is a blatant contempt and provocation.

"Two deacons, Mingxuan is not a demon cultivator."

Yu Shitao hurriedly followed out from under the canal.

The man in the animal-patterned robe seemed not to have heard Yu Shitao's words of defense, and once again ordered Zhang Mingxuan in a deep voice, "Open your Dantian Qi Sea, and I will verify whether you are a demon cultivator or not!"

"If I open it, can the two deacons let me return to the sect?"

Zhang Mingxuan's face was calm, his eyes gradually became sharp, he looked directly into the eyes of the man in the beast pattern robe, and guessed in his heart that the cultivation level of these two people should be in the Jindan stage.

"If you open it, I will verify it and there is no reason for me not to let you go!"

The man in the animal-patterned robe seemed to be greatly offended by Zhang Mingxuan's stare, and his voice was filled with fierceness.

The man in the flaming robe beside him also nodded heavily to Zhang Mingxuan and advised, "According to the sect rules, if we encounter suspected demon cultivators, evil cultivators, devil cultivators, etc. while patrolling the mountain, we should kill them. Your cultivation is only at the level of perfect weapon refining, but you have a third-level demon slave with you. We have to be suspicious and must be cautious. Otherwise, you can put on the shackles yourself and follow me back to the sect to find the elders to verify your true identity."

"If the two deacons say so, then please check it."

Zhang Mingxuan didn't want to cause trouble. Although he was angry, he still held his breath and stopped practicing, and opened his spiritual sense to be on guard.

The spiritual consciousness of the two men had been wandering outside his qi sea for a long time. The moment his qi sea opened, they quickly probed in and took a quick look.

The man in the animal pattern robe raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Mingxuan, with a sneer on his face. "Tsk tsk, you have really perfected your Qi training." He put away his flying sword and made eye contact with the man in the flame robe. He looked down at Zhang Mingxuan like an emperor, and said with a sense of superiority in his bones, "Fox demons are good at defeating rat demons. I'm afraid that Junior Brother Zhang has gained a lot from this trip, right?"
