Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

Me, fighting against Luo Mingfeng, who is at the peak of Qi Refining?

Are you kidding me?

Xu Mo was speechless after hearing Luo Lingyue's words.

As expected, Luo Mingfeng indeed had an extremely strong competitive spirit.

They didn't even spare a talisman master like me who isn't good at fighting.

Moreover, with the beast tide approaching, instead of preparing properly, they come to challenge me to a duel.

It's a shame he's supposed to be a prodigy of the Five Elements School; he really can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent.

"Let's just forget about it. I have no intention of competing with him."

Xu Mofu picked up the wolf-hair talisman brush again and flatly refused:

"Please trouble Miss Luo to pass on my message to him."

Xu Mo was well aware of the saying that "the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind," and he had always been cautious and low-key.

They never dared to reveal too much about their true nature.

Moreover, the difference in cultivation level between him and Luo Mingfeng was too great, so a battle of magic would be meaningless.

It is perfectly reasonable to refuse.

However, Luo Lingyue did not grant Xu Mo's request, but instead told him:

"It's not that I don't want to help you refuse, but Luo Mingfeng has always been like this."

Once he decides to fight someone, he will do everything in his power to achieve it.

Luo Lingyue leaned forward, her black hair falling down, and accidentally brushed against Xu Mo's face.

  

She slowly recounted some of Luo Mingfeng's deeds to prove his behavior and conduct.

Luo Mingfeng possessed extraordinary talent even before he joined the Five Elements Sect.

With his unparalleled swordsmanship, he overwhelmed all his fellow members of the Luo family.

After joining the Five Elements Sect, he continuously challenged his fellow sword cultivators.

If he didn't accept, Luo Mingfeng would visit him repeatedly, sincerely inviting him in person.

The fight only ended when the other party, fed up with the challenge, finally agreed to a magical duel.

Furthermore, if Luo Mingfeng were to lose in a duel, they would discuss the swordplay in the form of a letter.

Then, when he felt the time was right and he was fully prepared, he extended the invitation again.

Luo Mingfeng would not give up until he defeated his opponent in a battle of magic.

This is Luo Mingfeng's way of fighting with his sword.

"Tsk."

Xu Mo shook his head, his brows furrowed, finding Luo Mingfeng quite troublesome.

According to Luo Lingyue, even if Xu Mo refuses, he will still be entangled with Luo Mingfeng.

This continues until Xu Mo accepts the challenge.

Left with no other choice, Xu Mo had to fight Luo Mingfeng.

"Alright, thank you, Miss Luo. I accept this duel."

……

……

The next day, the agreed-upon time for the duel would arrive.

Xu Mo reluctantly walked to the Luo family's martial arts arena.

Martial arts training ground.

It consists of a huge, wide arena.

Perhaps for the convenience of others to watch, there are special stands around the training ground for watching the battle.

At this moment, the blazing sun hangs high in the sky, casting dazzling golden rays that bathe the entire training ground in a golden hue.

Many members of the Luo family had already gathered in the stands to watch the game.

Even Luo Changfeng, a high-ranking member of the clan, sat quietly in the stands watching the battle.

And then I heard bursts of discussion.

"Is Luo Mingfeng really going to engage in a magical duel with that talisman-making guest elder from my clan?"

"That's for sure. You know Luo Mingfeng has always been competitive; he always wants to compete in everything."

"But the difference in strength is too great. One is in the late stage of Qi Refining, while the other is only in the middle stage of Qi Refining."

"Oh, they're out."

Amidst the discussions of the Luo family members, Luo Mingfeng landed steadily on the martial arts arena, riding a golden-patterned flying sword.

Xu Mo followed the gaze and looked over.

The newcomer had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an arrogant and unrestrained demeanor. His long golden robe did not appear dim in the sunlight.

On the contrary, it is even more dazzling.

As if sensing Xu Mo's gaze, Luo Mingfeng raised an eyebrow and looked straight at him.

A pair of calm and composed eyes cast a glance, while the space between their brows held a sharp and piercing intent.

Xu Mo showed no fear even when facing an opponent whose cultivation level was far superior to his own.

His deep, clear eyes met her gaze directly.

"Well done, talisman master! Not bad, come on up!"

Luo Mingfeng exclaimed in praise and leaped onto the arena.

"I observe that your cultivation level is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, while mine is at the seventh level. Naturally, I will not take advantage of you."

After saying that, Luo Mingfeng suppressed his aura and his cultivation was forcibly reduced to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"Now, I'm at the same level as you, the fifth level of Qi Refining."

Xu Mo did not respond to Luo Mingfeng, but walked straight onto the arena and summoned the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword.

The Geng metal spiritual power within his body surged and flowed into the sword sheath, secretly accumulating strength in advance.

"The prodigy of the Five Elements Sect, I shall test him today."

Seeing that Luo Mingfeng was very reasonable and had even lowered his own cultivation level, Xu Mo felt no fear at all.

Even amidst Luo Mingfeng's intense competitive spirit, a fire was secretly burning within him.

"All cultivators in the world who seek the Dao and immortality will inevitably be drawn into sects."

Cultivation sects are often the strongest forces in a region.

Take Ziyu Ridge, where Liuyun Mountain is located, for example. The Five Elements School is the leader of Ziyu Ridge.

Among them, there is not only a Core Formation Realm expert in charge, but also a Core Formation inheritance that no cultivation family has.

In the Luo family of Beast Tamers, Xu Mo's cultivation would only reach the Foundation Establishment stage at most.

From this point on, there is no way to improve.

It can be found in the Five Elements School.

Xu Moke, through his own efforts and good fortune, obtained the Core Formation inheritance and reached a higher level.

Therefore, if Xu Mo wants to continue on the path of cultivation in the future, he will definitely have to join a sect.

Today's duel with Luo Mingfeng can be considered a preliminary encounter.

Xu Mo stepped onto the arena, no longer deliberately concealing his cultivation level. His sharp and intense Qi Refining Fifth Level aura exploded out.

"Last year, when Master Xu went with us to clear out the monsters, he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Now, he's already ahead of me."

"That's right, but Master Xu's cultivation speed isn't fast either; he's at most an average person."

"So what if it is? In any case, Luo Mingfeng is the strongest among those of the same realm, and Xu Mo is bound to lose."

"That's true, but we should also thank Master Xu for letting us witness the thunderous methods of the Five Elements Sect's prodigy."

On the viewing platform, Luo Changfeng sensed the substantial killing aura emanating from Xu Mo, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This kid hasn't neglected his cultivation while making talismans..."

However, he quickly regained his composure.

After all, compared to Luo Mingfeng, Xu Mo's cultivation speed is nothing special.

"Xu Mo has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining... while I'm still stuck in the same place."

Luo Lingyue, dressed in a long, flowing dress with icy cloud patterns, sat on the stands, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of disappointment.

"He's left me behind, and I'm starting to fall behind."

The Gengjin Cold Iron Sword in its scabbard has already fully charged up its power.

Xu Mo slowly raised his eyes and looked at Luo Mingfeng opposite him.

"I am a talisman master, not skilled in combat, please forgive me."

Luo Mingfeng disapproved of Xu Mo's modesty and said directly:

Let's begin!
