Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Feiyun Peak.

It is located on the edge of the Jiuwang Mountain range.

Gu Chen arrived in the evening.

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened.

If these eagle demons fly around randomly at night, their vision will be obstructed. As long as he is fast enough, he should be able to kill them all.

Feiyun Peak is surrounded by cliffs and precipices.

The eagle demons' lair is on the mountaintop.

Ordinary people simply cannot reach that level.

Even cultivators, before reaching the True Essence Realm, can only climb up using certain movement techniques.

Gu Chen's gecko is adept at wall climbing and is also skilled at navigating walls.

Gu Chen took a step, used his footwork, and suddenly leaped up, landing on the cliff like a giant gecko.

He gripped the cliff face tightly with both hands and then quickly climbed upwards.

The summit of Feiyun Peak is a huge platform, hundreds of meters above the ground.

Gu Chen reached the top of the mountain in less than a quarter of an hour.

Around the mountaintop, in different directions, there were eagle demons keeping watch.

On the side that Gu Chen was climbing, there were two eagle demons at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm standing guard.

Gu Chen climbed upwards cautiously, making very little noise.

The two eagle demons failed to spot him for a moment.

Just as we were about to climb to the top of the cliff.

Gu Chen used both hands and feet to propel himself up, landing steadily between the two eagle demons on the cliff top.

The distance between the two eagle demons was about ten meters, and Gu Chen was exactly five meters away from each of them.

The two eagle demons were startled when they saw a human suddenly leap up from the cliff.

"Who are you, daring to trespass on my Flying Cloud Peak!" an eagle demon shouted at Gu Chen, then swung its talons and attacked Gu Chen.

They have the appearance of an eagle's head and a human body, with a pair of fleshy feathers on their backs, and sharp eagle claws on their hands and feet.

Gu Chen did not answer. He drew his Fire Profound Blade and slashed directly at the eagle demon charging towards him.

A crescent-shaped blade of energy burst forth from the Ancient Dust Blade, instantly cleaving the eagle demon in two, blood splattering everywhere.

"You audacious madman, how dare you storm the peak and kill demons! You're courting death!" Behind Gu Chen, another eagle demon on guard shouted in alarm and anger.

Gu Chen didn't even bother to look at it. He swung his sword backhand and unleashed a burst of sword energy, cleaving it in two.

Lesser demons below the Innate Realm are like clay chickens and earthen dogs under its sword energy.

Only those demons at the Innate Realm who have begun to temper their skin, flesh, muscles, and bones can resist his sword energy.

Although he instantly killed two demons.

However, the commotion here still alerted the eagle demons in other parts of Flying Cloud Peak.

Soon, a eagle demon at the second level of the Innate Realm led more than a dozen eagle demons toward this place.

Upon seeing Gu Chen and the corpses of the eagle demons lying on either side of him, the eyes of the leading eagle demon, who was at the second level of the Innate Realm, turned icy cold.

Judging from Gu Chen's attire, he was a member of the Luo'an County Night Watch. He roared, "What does the Luo'an County Night Watch mean by trespassing on my Flying Cloud Peak and killing my eagle demon? Do you want to start a war with my Flying Cloud Peak?!"

"You guessed right." Gu Chen looked at it calmly and said, "Here's a reward for you."

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, he used his footwork and his figure arrived in front of it in an instant.

Pierce it through with one knife.

"Our Luo'an County Night Watch will not only deal with you, but we will also not let go of the other demonic forces in Jiuwang Mountain," Gu Chen said calmly in front of it.

Then he pushed it over.

The eagle demon died with its eyes wide open, and it had only one thought in mind.

The Gu Chen before them was very strong, at least a master of the fourth level of the Innate Realm.

Now that they have silently stormed Feiyun Peak, all the eagle demons on the peak are probably doomed!

After killing the eagle demon at the second level of the Innate Realm, Gu Chen stopped talking and began to use his footwork.

They began a frenzied slaughter of the surrounding eagle demons.

We must kill them all while they are still stunned, so that they can't take off and escape once they realize what's happening.

Gu Chen immediately unleashed the Burning Wood Blade Technique, unleashing a barrage of violent fiery blade energy that slashed outwards in all directions.

Streams of sword energy tore through the surroundings like a storm, and any eagle demons below the Innate Realm were instantly cleaved into pieces upon contact.

Even though the eagle demon at the Innate Realm wasn't instantly killed, it was still struck, its wings burned by the fiery blade energy, and it lost its ability to fly.

He hadn't escaped more than a few steps when Gu Chen caught up with him and killed him instantly.

The dozen or so eagle demons were all killed by Gu Chen in the blink of an eye.

No sooner had they been killed than more eagle demons arrived from afar.

"Where did this thug come from, daring to act so presumptuously on my Flying Cloud Peak?"

A furious roar erupted.

A dark shadow flew in from afar, its wings spread out, seven or eight meters long, and it charged towards Gu Chen with a strong wind.

Its claws reflected a dark light, and its sharp talons went straight for Gu Chen's body.

The 30-centimeter-long eagle claws seemed poised to tear Gu Chen to his core.

It was none other than the strongest eagle demon, the Azure Eagle King, of Flying Cloud Peak.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Azure Eagle King, Gu Chen snorted coldly, showing no fear whatsoever.

He leaped up, gripped the sword with both hands, and slashed down vertically. Instantly, a fiery sword beam burst forth from Gu Chen's Fire Profound Sword, several meters long.

It landed on the head of the eagle king that was flying towards him.

"Not good!" The Eagle King was shocked when it saw this, and crossed its wings and claws to protect its head, trying to defend itself.

brush!

With a single stroke, blood stained the sky!

The eagle king, which had come charging with great momentum, was cleaved in two by Gu Chen's blade. Blood, internal organs, and the two halves of the corpse split apart in the air and crashed to either side.

Gu Chen landed steadily.

With a fierce aura, he looked around at the eagle demons who had followed him.

"The Eagle King is dead!" The group of eagle demons stared at the corpse of the Eagle King before them, their claws and legs trembling uncontrollably.

Looking at Gu Chen in front of him, he involuntarily stepped back.

Even their eagle king was no match for Gu Chen.

If they go up to deal with Gu Chen again, they're just asking for death.

"Run!" The group of eagle demons scattered in all directions.

But now it's completely dark.

They lack night vision; if they take off rashly and land poorly, they will fall off the cliff top.

The result will be utter destruction!

"Go down and join your demon king," Gu Chen sneered, charging towards the panicked eagle demons.

Among the flock of eagle demons, several took off and flew towards the dark sky outside Flying Cloud Peak.

The eagle demon that took flight was not very strong, only at the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm. However, its structure was different from other eagle demons, as it had a pair of long ears on its head.

They are owl demons!

It has night vision capabilities.

Gu Chen was speechless when he saw the few owls that had escaped. He hadn't expected that there were a few night owls among this group of eagle demons.

However, they escaped.

It's not a big deal.

Killing the remaining eagle demons that are unable to take off is enough.

The remaining eagle demons scattered in all directions, many hesitating whether to take flight and gamble, knowing they might survive the fall to the bottom of the cliff.

But if they stay here, they might all be killed by Gu Chen.

While they hesitated, Gu Chen went on a rampage, slaughtering the other eagle demons.

Before long, less than one-tenth of the eagle demons on Flying Cloud Peak remained.

Several eagle demons, forced to the edge of the cliff, took off, spread their wings, and flew into the distance, taking a gamble.

Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well take a gamble.

Gu Chen unleashed over a dozen sword energies in the direction they had taken off, and the sound of several sword energies striking flesh could be heard.

Whether they were cut down by the ancient dust is unknown.

Looking at the bodies of the eagle demons around him, Gu Chen felt gratified.

The materials from these eagle demon bodies, once stripped off, will become resources for his cultivation.

Eagle claws, wings, and beaks are all very valuable.

We rested for a while on the cliff top.

Then, Gu Chen used the Wall-Walking Step to slowly climb down from the top of Feiyun Peak.

He reached the mid-stage of the fifth realm of the Innate Realm, and his eyesight improved significantly, giving him some night vision.

Taking advantage of the faint starlight, Gu Chen successfully landed at the bottom of the cliff.

Right now.

The night watchmen arrived at the foot of the cliff just then.

"My lord." Seeing Gu Chen sliding down the cliff, everyone bowed to him.

Gu Chen nodded and said to them, "I've taken care of the eagle demon up there. Go up and clean up the materials for me, then take them to the county town to sell and bring me the money."

"Yes." The Night Watchmen obeyed.

They couldn't participate in the demon-slaying, but could only do the final cleanup work for Gu Chen.

Although they didn't get a share of the silver from the materials sold off by these demons.

But when facing demons, they are not in danger.

It's fair to say that the risks are proportional to the rewards.

Gu Chen returned to the Night Watch of Luo'an County.

Wei Zhong was still awake at this time.

She was still in Gu Chen's courtyard, waiting for him to return.

If Gu Chen needs to refine pills, he can start the fire in time.

"Old Master Gu, you're back." Wei Zhong, who was guarding the alchemy furnace, yawned and stood up to bow to Gu Chen.

"Mm." Gu Chen nodded.

"How did the negotiations go today?" Wei Zhong asked. "Did those bear demons give you any trouble, boss?"

"No, they are very easy to talk to," Gu Chen said. "They will never again make Luo'an County hand over its population."

"That's great, it really takes your help, Elder Gu," Wei Zhong remarked.

Old Gu is truly incredibly versatile.

Not only are they strong, but they are also skilled at negotiation.

Being able to follow Gu Chen was the greatest fortune of his life.

During the time I spent with Gu Chen.

He had no worries about food and drink, and even his spiritual practice steadily improved.

He is not far from reaching the top-tier level.

During this time, whenever Gu Chen finished refining a batch of pills and took a break, he would explain the profound meaning of the Lightning Five-Strike Combo to him.

Gu Chen, who had mastered the Lightning Five-Strike Combo to an unparalleled level, explained the sword technique to him.

He made rapid progress in this sword technique.

He estimated that he would be able to master this sword technique in less than a month.

Meanwhile, he had no shortage of elixirs for cultivation during this period.

You can take one Qi Xue Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) every day.

He should be able to break through to the Blood Refining Realm Perfection in at most one month.

Once you reach the level of a top-tier master, you will be able to challenge the Innate Realm.

Before I followed Gu Chen.

His thought was that if he could reach the level of a first-class master in this lifetime, he would be considered lucky.

After following Gu Chen, he felt that he also had a chance.

This is the benefit of following the right leader.

Only when he reaches the Innate Realm can he better stay by Gu Chen's side and help Gu Chen with his work.

Otherwise, with Gu Chen's monstrous talent, he would reach an even higher level in no time, and then he wouldn't even be qualified to work by Gu Chen's side.

"Go and rest. We won't be refining pills today," Gu Chen said to him.

"Yes, Elder Gu, then you should tidy up and get some rest as well." Wei Zhong took his leave.

"Mm." Gu Chen nodded.

During this period, he gave Wei Zhong pointers on swordsmanship.

It was intended to train him.

As his strength increased, and as his connection with the Cheng family became increasingly deep, so did his influence.

He instructed the Cheng family to purchase elixirs for him.

It's easy to guess his cultivation level.

Anyone who is interested can find out by checking.

He planned to cultivate Wei Zhong's abilities.

From now on, the task of running errands to buy pills for him will be handed over to Wei Zhong.

of course.

The prerequisite for having Wei Zhong do this job for him is that Wei Zhong must be strong enough.

At least reach the Innate Realm.

He also learned some of his martial arts techniques, such as the Gecko Wall-Walking Step, the Burning Wood Knife Technique, and the Mysterious Turtle Concealment Technique.

Only in this way can we have enough ability to help him with this matter.

When he has enough money.

Wei Zhong can also cultivate the Xuan Tie Body.

The prerequisite is that Wei Zhong has the talent to comprehend this technique.

The same goes for those martial arts techniques; he obtained these skills and insights by exchanging copper bowls.

Wei Zhong can't do that.

I can only teach him slowly and explain things to him myself.

He has already mastered these techniques and martial arts to a high degree, so explaining them is simple. How much he can ultimately understand depends on his own efforts.
