Witch, please have some self-respect!

Ignoring the few hooligans, the law enforcement team arrived, carrying the neighbor's child.

The leader was another deputy captain under Huang Changxing.

Seeing this, I immediately understood what had happened.

"Arrest those who cause trouble and provoke disciples of the Holy Sect!"

The enforcement team members swarmed forward and pinned the five people, who were still vomiting blood, to the ground.

"Wrong..."

"Be gentle, brother..."

"We're the ones who are hurt!"

"Behave yourself. If it were Senior Brother Shen who was injured, I would have chopped you up on the spot!"

"Senior Brother Shen, I know everything. Don't worry, these people will never appear in front of you again."

After the deputy captain finished speaking, he whispered, "A new black iron mine has been discovered a hundred miles outside the city, and we are looking for miners."

Shen Yun understood what he meant, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you. I'll treat you brothers to drinks at Shengchunlou tonight."

"You're too kind. Do we really need to be so polite between us?"

The law enforcement team arrived quickly and took the people away just as fast.

It's no wonder that even with immense power concentrated in the cultivation world, so many people still climb the ranks and build connections; that's the power of authority.

More effective than their own strength, they can kill without leaving a trace.

After the enforcement team took the group of people away, Shen Yun took another deep look at Hao Rui's house.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Hao Rui didn't dare to step outside.

Tell the neighbors to disperse.

Shen Yun promised that if these charlatans caused trouble, the neighbors could call him directly.

Hao Rui, inside the room, witnessed everything, his expression filled with resentment and malice.

These days, the charlatans who come to his place are not as good as Ma San from Second Street.

With this incident today, there will probably be even fewer.

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents!

"Report this! If I can't handle it, have the Immortal Workshop send someone to help me."

Hao Rui made up his mind, and when they met to discuss it a few days later, he said, "He's just an outer disciple anyway. Wouldn't it be enough to bring in an inner disciple to keep him in check?"

Shen Yun was unaware of Hao Rui's thoughts.

Upon returning to the courtyard, he quickly altered the formation, adding the Illusion Array Plate to it.

The area around Shen Yun's house flickered briefly before returning to normal.

From the outside, there was no one in the courtyard.

In fact, Shen Yun had already begun practicing the Shadow Escape and Floating Light Technique.

He erected ten wooden stakes at the edge of the courtyard, creating a net-like shadow.

He moved through the light and shadow with a peculiar gait.

When he enters the shadows, he becomes dark, as if he has merged into the shadows; when he enters the light, he disappears, turning into a blurry light and shadow, making him difficult to see clearly.

He also held a strange sword in his hand, which changed with his movements and disappeared into the shadows.

However, once under the light, the sword can gather a dazzling light by slightly changing its angle.

It was a kind of radiance that was hard to look at directly; it was very strange.

Suddenly flashing your opponent in battle to blind them will inevitably expose their weaknesses and create an opportunity to attack.

Very insidious.

This is the sword of the bandit leader Jia Tian, ​​and it has no enhancement.

Shen Yun initially thought it was just an ordinary longsword.

After carefully studying the three manuals, I realized that this was a hidden sword, forged using a special sword-making method.

A few days ago, with the help of the true meaning, I was able to enter the three Dharma gates and have now quickly advanced to the level of mastery.

Shadow Step (Mastery 135/300).

Floating Light Shadow Slash (Mastery 121/500).

Floating Light and Shadow Escape Technique (Mastery 188/300).

The "Floating Light and Shadow Escape Technique" is a technique at the skill level, and it is the most advanced kind of "skill," with a seven-fold amplification, making it the core.

The strongest is still the slash – "Floating Light and Shadow Slash".

It was actually at the 'Scripture' level, with a full eightfold increase, making it a technique on par with the Nine Strikes of Heaven.

This surprised Shen Yun; the bandit leader actually had such an extraordinary lineage.

Unlike the Nine Strikes of Heaven, this strike consists of only one strike.

A deadly strike that mobilizes the full power of the body.

If the first attack fails, they immediately flee a thousand miles away.

At the very least, they move through the light and shadow, their stealthy and unpredictable assassination techniques making them impossible to guard against.

The important thing is that the three complement each other and can work together to promote each other.

This is even more remarkable.

The bandit leader had only achieved a minor level of mastery of the art of killing, and his understanding of the art of beheading was merely superficial.

If both achieve minor successes and major breakthroughs, then the outcome will be uncertain.

During the daytime, the ability to master the "Floating Light and Shadow" technique still has weaknesses.

But at night, things become unpredictable.

Shen Yun tested it; once he blended into the shadows, even face-to-face, Su Wan'er and the others couldn't detect him.

Even under the three bright moons, the shadows were not thick and remained completely hidden.

As for why Shen Yun practiced the three methods during the day, that's even simpler.

Although nighttime operations are more suitable, practicing the Shadow Escape and Floating Light Technique during the day will allow for faster progress.

What's even more remarkable is that all three methods can be practiced simultaneously.

During the practice of the technique, the footwork and combat skills are integrated very well and can even complement each other.

Although it's not as fast as focusing on improving one technique, Shen Yun values ​​the overall progress.

I check it every day as usual.

At noon, Shen Yun paused to check the progress of the three methods on the ancient scroll.

"I should be able to master it in about three days, then it will be a good time to test my sword skills."

Shen Yun gripped the hidden sword in his hand and slashed out. The sword cut through the air at a peculiar angle, and a beam of light refracted out.

A leaf falling from a tree was suddenly sliced ​​in two by a beam of light.

There were burn marks at the cut.

This is not sword energy.

The light reflected from the hidden sword is similar to the principle of a lens focusing light in my previous life, but it is more mysterious and more focused.

If it were to shine into the eyes of an ordinary person, it could cause permanent burns.

The art of levitation is not only about concealing one's own figure, but its subtlety lies in making it invisible to others as well.

Perhaps I didn't hide it well enough, but I managed to keep it from you.

It's a bit of a rogue app, but it works very well.

In the afternoon, as usual, I engraved the talisman array plate.

In his spare time, Shen Yun studied the runes on the Dragon Halberd and devised a plan to repair it.

When Shen Yun practiced the Blood Heaven Technique at night, he absorbed less than half of the essence blood from the jar.

Suddenly, the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows twitched.

Shen Yun quickly focused his mind on it, visualizing the ancestral aperture.

"Our ancestral land has expanded!"

To their astonishment, they discovered that the ancestral land, which was originally 13 in length, width, and height, had expanded and become 14 in size.

As the ancestral land expands, the true meaning of Jianchun grows accordingly, still steadily covering one-tenth of the ancestral land.

Shen Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

After regaining his senses, he felt his own strength. The Blood Heaven Technique had added exactly one thousand jin of physical strength to his body.

"One thousand jin, that's a little more foundation for my Dao!"

Shen Yunming realized what was happening.

He is now a Level 14 Foundation.

The Heavenly Skill is indeed profound. If one cultivates enough, one will eventually cultivate a Ninety-Nine Dao Foundation.

The changes in his ancestral aperture today greatly excited Shen Yun.

He had some doubts about the Heavenly Power enhancing the Dao Foundation, but now he no longer had any doubts.

true!

Having the opportunity to change one's inherent nature through later life is something one should cherish.

At the same time, Shen Yun became more aware of the differences between Dao Foundations.

How big is the difference between someone who has only one foundation in Taoism and someone who has only two foundations in Taoism?

The Blood Heaven Skill is so perfect that even a lifetime may not be enough to achieve it. Take Huang Changxing as an example: after mastering the Blood Heaven Skill, he spent more than 20 years refining and mastering the Flesh Heaven Skill.

It took 20,000 in contributions and another 20,000 to 30,000 in additional resources to finally bridge the gap in the foundation level.

So, someone with six or six points of natural talent is different from someone with one point of natural talent.

He was born with 200,000 sect contribution points, so he didn't need a hundred years of accumulation to cultivate his body.

Even a fool knows who to train.

"Heaven has opened a window for ordinary people; though it's small, it exists."

Shen Yun closed his eyes and circulated the Blood Tempering Technique again and again.

If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles.

Once all the blood altars are fully refined, they will add approximately two points to his Dao foundation.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the courtyard, a plum blossom stake stands in a corner, and anyone would assume that someone is standing on it to practice meditation.

In fact, Shen Yun's figure became increasingly eerie in the shadows below.

Compared to before, it has gained a touch more ethereal and unrestrained charm.

Even under the blazing sun, he blended completely into the shadows, making him undetectable.

As they darted and weaved beneath the plum blossom stakes, all that could be seen were flashes of light and shadow.

He was nowhere to be seen.

"All tasks are now partially completed!"

Under the shadow cast, Shen Yunqing was completely enveloped in the shadows, leaving no trace of his presence, without the slightest flaw.

He looked delighted.

His strongest state now is when he is using the Three Shadow Escape and Floating Light Techniques.

The attack power is increased by 3.5 times, and the tactics are increased by 4 times.

In this state, drawing the Overlord Dragon Halberd amplifies the power by a full 8.5 times, combined with the immense force of 5,000 jin of true physical power.

A single, full-force strike can reach 40,000 damage!

We're getting closer and closer to breaking the limit.

I glanced across the street in the direction of Hao Rui's house and saw a few more vagrants slowly walking out.

The gates of every household in the alley were tightly closed.

Back in his room, Shen Yun used half a divination stick to perform a divination.

How should we proceed tonight?

【Little Lucky (White)】

As Shen Yun analyzed the divination results, his mindset calmed down, and his anger gradually subsided.

"Tonight, take action."

The divination result was good. He didn't expect much from it; he just wanted to kill someone.

[Half-Divination (Mastery 2/100)]

Having barely mastered the divination techniques in the ancient scrolls, Shen Yun discovered that each time he used source stones to perform a divination, his progress increased by one unit.

To achieve perfection, one must use Originium.

From beginner to master, I didn't feel any improvement; it was still quite mysterious.

Ignore it for now.

If he has enough Originium in the future, he can farm it to the maximum.

The problem is that it doesn't exist now.

.....

That night, Shen Yun practiced the Blood Heaven Technique until very late.

Around three or four in the morning, the entire Lingnongfang fell into silence.

The wind was howling, and the three bright moons were hidden in the clouds, leaving the neighborhood dark and silent.

"Good time."

Shen Yun changed into a night outfit, activated his magic to completely blend into the darkness, and disappeared without a trace.

Hao Rui's family didn't have any formations, so he couldn't afford to set one up.

Shen Yun started making the arrangements for him.

After working for half an hour, Master Shen helped Hao Rui raise a phantom glass array outside the courtyard.

He's such a good person.

inside the room.

During the middle stage of recuperation, I sleep very lightly.

The moment the formation rose, there were some fluctuations, and Hao Rui keenly sensed that something was wrong.

He suddenly rolled out of bed and pulled a short sword from the empty pouch in his bosom.

I turned on the crystal chandelier to see how things were going.

There have been instances where the Illusionist broke into his house and stole Illusion Breaking Powder or Illusion Breaking Pill.

When the light comes on, it signals that the owner has noticed something, and they will scramble away as fast as they can.

however.

Today is different.

The moment the lights came on, Hao Rui's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily closed them.

The brain senses that if you don't close your eyes, you'll have eye problems.

"Is the chandelier really that bright?" The thought had just crossed my mind.

The blinding light disappeared, and a scarlet line of blood quietly appeared on his neck.

The next instant, his head flew into the sky.

Hao Rui's last glance fell upon the scene in the room, filled with disbelief.

Is that headless corpse below, resembling a fountain, his?

A hand appeared in the light and shadow and turned off the crystal chandelier.

"Who is it? Why? Such a fast sword!"

This idea became the last thought he ever had in his life.

The eyes inside Hao Rui's head dimmed in mid-air.

A cultivator at the sixth level of the Body Nourishing Realm died just like that!

Even in the shadows, Shen Yun was amazed by his own performance. The Shadow Escape Technique was indeed a top-tier assassination method.

Hao Rui didn't notice anything amiss throughout the entire process.

The only drawback was that it was Shen Yun's first assassination attempt, so he was being extra cautious.

First, set up a formation to prevent any movement from getting out.

Only when the formation appeared and there was some movement did Hao Rui become alert.

Otherwise, he would die silently.

Having killed everyone, Shen Yun showed no more mercy, stealthily hiding in the shadows to collect valuable items.

They also stole all the illusion-breaking powder materials from the yard, making it look like the illusionary gentleman had broken into the house and committed murder.

After a moment, Shen Yun put away the formation and sensed the gains in the void bag.

They were overjoyed.

There is a large amount of gold and Originium, approximately five hundred.

One alchemy furnace, one forged treasure, one eight-cubic-meter void bag, and a number of blood-eating pills.

There are also some miscellaneous items that I haven't had time to inventory.

Indeed, murder and arson bring wealth and power!

This is much more lucrative than any minor course.

The items together amounted to over a thousand, nearly two thousand Origin Stones.

The formation was dispelled, but there was still some time before dawn, and the night was still very deep.

"And that Ma San, let's just send him on his way too!"

Shen Yun blended into the shadows, walking in the darkness.

Like a darling of the night, it silently wandered to the door of Ma San's house.

The Ma family doesn't have any formations either. In places like Lingnongfang, very few families have formations.

This person was about the same strength as Hao Rui. Shen Yun set up an array and then slipped into it.

Two ragged female cultivators were sleeping on the large bed in Ma San's house, but Ma San was nowhere to be seen.

He thought Ma San was on guard, but then hot air blew out of an underground chamber.

Shen Yun looked and saw that Ma San was actually refining the Illusion Breaking Pill inside.

This is much more hardworking than Hao Rui.

Unsurprisingly, things went much more smoothly than Hao Rui's family's.

Shen Yun first killed Ma San with a single sword strike, then knocked out two female cultivators, and ransacked their house as well.

Especially the materials for the Illusion Powder, not a single bit was left behind.

After doing all this, Shen Yun deactivated the formation and drifted away.

They remained hidden in the shadows the entire time, without disturbing a single person or dog.

Ma San was wealthier than Hao Rui, possessing over six hundred Origin Stones alone.

There were tens of thousands of taels of gold stored in the Void Bag, piled up like a small mountain, equivalent to more than four hundred Origin Stones.

They had been selling Illusion Breaking Pills and Illusion Breaking Powder at Lingnongfang for many days, accumulating a considerable amount of wealth, all of which went to Shen Yun.

The items the two alchemists had collected were worth approximately 3,800 source stones.

They were far beyond the reach of the poor families in Lingnongfang.

They came here to settle down, definitely with ulterior motives.

Shen Yun's guess was correct; most of the Illusion Breaker fans were provided by the Illusion Mist Garden behind the scenes, and the money had to be handed over every two weeks.

Otherwise, if they really had that kind of wealth, they would have already set up an array.

They wouldn't be stingy with over a hundred Origin Stones.

Apart from the source stones, Shen Yun packed the looted items into two void bags and hid them in the courtyard when he returned home.

In the short term, a thousand Origin Stones would be enough to alleviate Shen Yun's "predicament".

First, he needs to pay off his debts. Shen Yun is currently burdened with a mountain of debt, but after calculating, he can only afford to pay back 300 to Shengbaolou at the moment.

As for the remaining debts, we'll pay them off slowly.
