I've been reborn, who still chases the school hunk?

Magic beasts are particularly sensitive to danger, and they seem to be able to smell the subtle threat in the air. As soon as the iron-armored horned bull felt the powerful pressure emanating from Lu Xuanxin and the other four, it was like a human, with a trace of fear in its eyes. It took several steps back and let out a low "moo" growl from its nose, as if warning its companions and expressing its dissatisfaction with these uninvited guests.

"Who are you?" A burly, dark-skinned middle-aged man among the mercenaries asked loudly. His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing in the forest. He was obviously the most powerful, a two-star spirit emperor. His eyes were sharp, like a cheetah staring at its prey, revealing a power that should not be underestimated.

"We are just passing by and don't mean to bother you. If you have extra maps and are willing to sell them to us, we would be very grateful." Lu Xuanxin replied with a smile, her voice soft but with a firmness that could not be ignored. The four of them got lost in the Central Region and realized that it was a big mistake not to buy a map.

At this time, a young woman's eyes lit up, as if she saw a business opportunity, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I have a map here, but the price is not cheap!" There was a bit of pride in her words, and it was obvious that she wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

In fact, the map in her hand was just bought by following the crowd. Everyone has it, but she wanted to take this opportunity to make a lot of money. Yun Yan'er said generously: "How many spirit stones do you want? We are willing to buy it." She thought, how expensive can a map be?

"One hundred spirit stones!" The young woman coldly quoted a price, but her eyes flashed with greed, and this subtle change in expression was keenly captured by Lu Xuanxin. She thought to herself, this is clearly a way of slaughtering them like fat sheep! You know, in the East Region, a full-region map is only ten spirit stones. Although the prices in the Central Region are high, a full-region map is at most twenty or thirty spirit stones. This opening price is a hundred, which is really outrageous!

When the young woman made her offer, her companions all showed displeasure on their faces, but they didn't say much. After all, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, everyone gets what they want, and there is no right or wrong. However, Ying sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "Such an expensive map, I'll keep it for you to bury with you, so that you won't have anything to bury with you after you die."

"You...you bitch, how dare you curse me to death!" The young woman was furious when she heard this. The makeup on her face was distorted by anger, and she looked ferocious and terrifying. She rushed towards Ying desperately, like an enraged lioness.

"You don't know your own limits!" Ying snorted coldly, and in a flash she appeared in front of the young woman, easily avoiding her attack. Then, she grabbed the young woman's neck and twisted it gently.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the young woman's eyes widened. She didn't understand what terrible opponent she had encountered until she died. She was actually over fifty years old, and her cultivation was only at the Spiritual Realm. She was not considered a master in the Central Region. But in the mercenary group, she was treated with great courtesy because of her good talent, and she usually thought highly of herself. This time, when she saw Lu Xuanxin and the others wanted to buy the map, she thought of taking the opportunity to make some extra money, but she didn't expect to lose her life because of it.

Ying took off the young woman's storage ring neatly, threw her body on the ground like trash, and turned back to Lu Xuanxin. Her movements were clean and neat, without a trace of drag.

"Why...why did you kill someone just because of a disagreement?" Another young woman pointed at Ying and said in horror. But when she met Ying's sharp gaze, she was so scared that she took a few steps back, lowered her head and dared not speak again. Her eyes were full of fear, as if she had seen something horrible.

"Any objections?" Ying's voice was threatening. She swept her eyes across the crowd and finally stopped at a young man in white. The young man was quite handsome, but at this moment his face was pale and his eyes were full of fear. Ying's gaze paused for a moment and then retracted, as if she was just confirming his identity.

"Forget it, forget it. She was the first to do it. Since you four have already obtained the map you want, please do as you please." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said. His attention has returned to the Iron Horned Bull, and he obviously doesn't want to make trouble anymore. Although he admires Ying's speed and strength, he is a little unhappy with her ruthless methods. Although the young woman was wrong first, she didn't deserve to be killed. But he also knew that now was not the time to pursue these things. Hunting the Iron Horned Bull was the most important thing.

"Uncle Li! Xiao Min was killed, how can you just let it go?" A young man glared at Ying angrily, then turned to look at the big man, his eyes full of pleading.

The big man glared at him and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking! Hunting the bull is more important!" His voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, which made the young man dare not say anything more.

"Uncle Li, you are too kind! What if they come to steal our things while we are fighting with the Iron-Horned Bull?" The young man growled unwillingly, looking at the young woman's body from time to time, his eyes full of grief and anger.

After the young man finished speaking, everyone looked at Lu Xuanxin and the other three, their eyes full of inquiry and doubt. In the cultivation world, the law of the jungle is the norm. Resources are limited, and the strong often take the resources of the weak to cultivate. When mercenaries encounter the weak, they often rob them of their property.

"Ha! We are not looking down on you. With your strength, you are still far from being able to hunt this armored horned bull!" Yun Yan'er sneered and said disdainfully. Then, she pulled Lu Xuanxin and turned away, never looking back again. Her back looked so resolute and confident, as if she didn't care about the opinions of these people at all.

The young man looked at their backs with hatred, but he knew that his cultivation was not as good as Yun Yan'er's, so he did not dare to act rashly. He could only watch them leave, his heart filled with resentment and anger.

After leaving the crowd, Ying found the map from the young woman's storage ring. It turned out to be a map made of animal skin, with only part of the forest marked on it. The lines on the map were rough and simple, but they clearly marked the distribution of various terrains and monsters.

"This little bitch actually wanted to cheat us out of a hundred spirit stones. She deserves to die!" Ying cursed. She dared to ask for a hundred spirit stones for a mere forest map. How audacious! Her voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if she was angry at the greed of the young woman.

"Forget it, she's just too greedy." Lu Xuanxin sighed. However, he also reflected on the fact that he didn't make it clear what kind of map he wanted to buy, otherwise such a misunderstanding would not have happened.

This map shows the location of Cang Yuelin, which is a branch of Tenglong Mountain Range and is vast and boundless. The map also contains information about the territories and dangerous areas of high-level monsters, which is undoubtedly a valuable piece of information for them. What interests the four people most is that the map also contains the directions of entry and exit, so that they will not wander around blindly.

"It seems that we have entered the territory of the Iron-Horned Bull. They must have come here for this magical beast." Ying said while looking at the map. They have already entered the middle area, where there are many magical beasts and many dangers. But there are also rich resources and opportunities. It is undoubtedly a good place for practitioners to train and improve.

"If we go further in, we will encounter eight-star and nine-star monsters, but there will be fewer people. There are still dangerous places ahead. Where should we go?" Lu Xuanxin asked. Her eyes were shining with curiosity and expectation, as if she was full of yearning and desire for the unknown world.

"Since we are here, just stay here! Challenging an eight-star monster can also improve our strength!" Lu Xuanxin thought of the battle formation in the Lord's Mansion of Beikang City, and suddenly had an idea in her mind. She decided to take her companions to go deep into the Cangyue Forest, challenge higher-level monsters, and improve her cultivation and strength. In this world full of opportunities and challenges, only by constantly moving forward can we constantly surpass ourselves and reach a higher level.

"We can also learn about battle formations, so that when we encounter a strong enemy in the future, we won't have to worry about protecting ourselves or escaping." Lu Xuanxin's eyes flashed with wisdom, and there was a bit of confidence in her words, as if she had already foreseen the future victory.

"Madam, do you have a battle formation you can teach me?" The eyes of the three Li family members suddenly lit up. They had similar cultivation levels. Although they were not the best in the Central Region, they were not bad either. However, they were always suppressed by others. They were full of expectations, as if they saw the dawn of a comeback.

If they could learn the battle formation, it would not be a simple one plus one equals two. Even if they were strong men in the Spirit Saint Realm, they would have the strength to fight. This temptation was undoubtedly huge for them.

"I'll pick a battle formation suitable for the three or four of us." Lu Xuanxin said, closed her eyes, immersed her mind in the blood bracelet, and began to look for a suitable battle formation. Her expression was focused and serious, as if she was performing a sacred ritual.

"Three Talents Battle Formation!"

Lu Xuanxin suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with excitement. This was the battle formation she had chosen, which was very suitable for the three of them to practice together, and could exert nearly ten times the combat power. In other words, after the three three-star spirit emperors practiced this battle formation, they would be able to rival the three-star spirit saints.

"Great! This battle formation is tailor-made for us!" Yun Yan'er said in surprise as she browsed the battle formation information sent by Lu Xuanxin in her mind. Her face was filled with excitement and anticipation, as if she had already seen how powerful she and others would become after they had cultivated the battle formation.

The three-star spirit emperor can exert the power of the three-star spirit saint. This battle formation is simply prepared for them! Their hearts are filled with excitement and anticipation, as if they have already seen the future victory.

"Okay, let's find a hidden place now. You learn this battle formation first, and we'll break into the lair of the Nine-Star Magical Beast together in the future." Lu Xuanxin also said with a smile, her eyes flashing with expectation and determination. She knew that this battle formation would be the key to their turnaround.

"Yes!" Yun Yan'er, Ying and Li couldn't wait to start practicing. Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, as if they had seen how powerful and glorious they would become after practicing into a battle formation.

They came to a valley where there was a lake. The water was clear and reflected the blue sky, white clouds and the surrounding mountains and forests. Lu Xuanxin and the three women decided to practice here temporarily.

The three Li family members hurriedly began to practice the battle formation. They sat cross-legged, formed seals with their hands, and silently chanted incantations. Their expressions were focused and serious, as if they were performing a sacred ritual. Lu Xuanxin was in charge of the alert. After she set up the alert formation and the psychedelic formation, she began to practice with peace of mind.

It has been a long time since she was promoted, and now is the right time. Lu Xuanxin closed her eyes, sank her mind into her body, and began to practice the Chaos Heart Method. She felt the spiritual energy around her begin to surge and flow into her body. She did not use low-grade spiritual stones to practice, but directly used medium-grade spiritual stones. She had previously plundered two families and obtained more than 300,000 medium-grade spiritual stones. If divided among six people, each person would have more than 50,000. Add to that what she had accumulated before and what Zi Huang gave her, and the total amount was more than 100,000.

There were piles of medium-quality spirit stones beside her. This was her first time using spirit stones to cultivate. As the Chaos Heart Method was in operation, the spirit stones turned into dust visibly with the naked eye. She felt the spiritual power in her body growing continuously, as if small streams were converging into rivers.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Xuanxin opened her eyes and saw that the thousand middle-grade spirit stones beside her had turned into ashes. She felt distressed. Although she knew that she needed a lot of spiritual energy to practice before, she was lucky enough to encounter a treasure land every time and naturally promoted. Now she knows how much consumption is when she practices with spirit stones. A thousand middle-grade spirit stones may be able to promote a small realm for Li and others, but for her, it is like a drop of water in the sea, without any ripples.

"One hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones, I wonder if it can help me advance to a higher realm?" Lu Xuanxin smiled bitterly, and piled up another hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones to continue practicing. She closed her eyes and sank into the state of practice again.
