Confucian and Taoist Cultivation Starting from the Equipment Slot

"Gentlemen, shall we join forces to vanquish the demon?"

Xu Yi looked at the two of them and made a suggestion.

Zhou Ping was eager to try the suggestion, his face showing a look of impending liberation.

Just as Chen Zhuo was about to speak, his junior sister preemptively rejected the suggestion.

"We have other plans."

With that, he quickly pulled Chen Zhuo away from the camp.

"What a pity," Xu Yi sighed softly, then looked at Zhou Ping.

"Junior, let's go."

Zhou Ping followed with a resigned expression.

……

The further away from the county town you go, the more gloomy the surrounding sky becomes, as if a gaping maw is waiting for people to enter.

"When visibility drops to a certain level, the demons of the long night will naturally emerge from it."

"What we need to do now is to eliminate the demons at the critical point when they appear in the long night, based on what our masters and the others have detected."

"This is our specific method for exorcising the demon this time."

The junior sister spoke earnestly.

Although he had already learned about these things beforehand, he still listened very attentively.

After all, this is not a drill; it's a matter of life and death.

After Gu Qing'e finished speaking, she glanced behind her and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that Xu Yi hadn't followed.

Seeing this, Chen Zhuo became somewhat curious.

Zhou Ping and his junior sister's reactions were too strange. Just who is this Xu Yi?

"Senior sister, that Xu Yi..."

Chen Zhuo had only spoken halfway when his junior sister suddenly covered his mouth.

Looking in the direction of his junior sister, Chen Zhuo vaguely saw a creature that resembled both a human and a beast coalescing in the darkness.

The moment Chen Zhuo saw it, its information flashed through his mind.

"Sound Eater, a wandering spirit-level demon, uses sound to locate its target. It excels at ambushes and is a typical high-attack, low-defense type of monster."

"Warning! Anyone who cannot cast a spell within one second should immediately leave quietly upon seeing him, and remember not to make a sound!"

"I can release the spell within a second. I think I can do it with my proficiency in the Sun character spell," Chen Zhuo thought to himself.

But he did not act rashly.

If I can do it, my junior sister can definitely do it too.

He cast an inquiring glance at Gu Qing'e.

Gu Qing'e shook her head, indicating that the time was not yet right.

Chen Zhuo patiently waited, knowing that his junior sister was waiting for the demon to fully form before killing it.

This way, the materials inside the demon's body are preserved best, and the more points can be exchanged for them.

If he remembered correctly, the Sound Eater was one of the rarer demons, so it could be exchanged for a considerable number of points...

Chen Zhuo and Gu Qing'e held their breath and watched it solidify.

the other side.

Two figures were whispering in a wisp of black mist.

"Mr. Xu, is it really true that the sound from here can't travel out?" Zhou Ping touched the black mist next to him.

"Of course, you're still questioning me! This is a domain-type literary technique created by the most talented person in the entire Qingshan County, specifically designed to hunt down demons."

As Xu Yi spoke, he took out another folding fan from the side.

This time, it says "one in ten thousand".

"As for you," Xu Yi glanced at Zhou Ping, "you're only slightly better than that guy. You still need to train. When I was your age..."

Zhou Ping has heard this tune countless times these past few days, and now it gives him a headache just hearing it.

So he interrupted.

"Mr. Xu, are we really going to try and steal this demon? Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

"No, no, no, it wasn't me, it was you. You went and took it yourself."

Xu Yi shook his head, and as he opened and closed the folding fan, the words "Peerless Pride" were revealed on the back!

"I?"

Zhou Ping looked at Chen Zhuo and his fellow disciples outside in disbelief, pointed outside, and then pointed to himself.

"Should I go and beat up the scholar?"

"Don't worry, she's just a beginner scholar. Besides, we came out here to find you demon materials that will allow you to start your cultivation early. The opportunity is right in front of you."

As Xu Yi chatted and laughed, he waved his folding fan again, and the black mist that had been enveloping the two of them began to shrink.

At the same time, Chen Zhuo and Gu Qing'e looked in this direction in tacit agreement.

Then they saw a figure staggering not far behind them.

The sound from his side startled the Sound Eater, which was not yet fully formed. Its instinctive hunger drove it to pounce in Chen Zhuo's direction.

"not good!"

At the critical moment, the master-level "sun" character script instantly condensed in Chen Zhuo's hand and flew towards the Sound Eater.

The "sun" character script in Gu Qing'e's hand flew out at the same time.

But Chen Zhuo's was clearly larger and flew faster.

Chen Zhuo looked at his junior sister with some surprise.

Junior Sister, you haven't even mastered the art of writing the character "日" yet?

In the blink of an eye.

The sun-shaped script slammed into the rapidly approaching Sound Eater.

The two collided and made a sizzling sound.

The peripheral parts of the Sound Eater, which were not yet fully formed, were completely melted away by the character "日".

Only a black bead remained, falling to the ground and rolling to Zhou Ping's feet.

At that moment, Zhou Ping's back was soaked in cold sweat; a life-or-death crisis was imminent.

He wasn't sure if Xu Yi would come to his rescue, after all, Xu Yi was known for his unpredictable temper.

I come from a poor family, and my life and wealth are really nothing.

Seeing the two men glaring at him, Zhou Ping forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Excuse me, could you please give me this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo was so angry that he laughed.

How could he have the nerve to say that? He'll be able to get a core of even higher quality in a little while.

Seeing the two men's gloomy faces and the scholarly aura emanating from them, Zhou Ping finally realized that something was wrong.

These two guys look like they're really going to make a move!

He slowly backed away.

"Fine, if you won't give it to me, then don't! Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence!"

"Junior brother, as long as you don't kill him, any situation can be handled." Gu Qing'e set the tone.

"Alright!" Chen Zhu rubbed his hands together and walked over.

Suddenly, the surrounding black mist surged, and Xu Yi's figure appeared from within it.

"Hey, this place is so small, Miss Gu, Brother Chen, what a coincidence, we meet again!"

"Heh, what a coincidence." Gu Qing'e sneered. This guy had obviously been observing from the shadows for a long time.

She knew all along that this guy's appearance was never good; he acted with complete recklessness, relying on his powerful talent.

Xu Yi's sudden appearance made Chen Zhuo immediately abandon his idea of ​​giving Zhou Ping a good beating.

It was obvious that even the two of them combined couldn't defeat him alone.

Just as he was about to pick up the demon materials and prepare to swallow this bitter pill, Xu Yi stopped him.

"Wait!"

Chen Zhuo was immediately displeased. Did this guy want to steal the spoils of war?

In retrospect, what happened before can be described as an attempt to nip the demons in the bud.

Forcibly seizing it now would be crossing the line.

He has powerful connections.

"What do you mean by that?"
