Chapter 766: The Best in the World

And what was the black shadow on Qiu Hu's body? He Lingchuan noticed it was a long, thin strip, snake-like, or rope-like, and could switch between virtual and real.

It didn't look like a divine ability, nor did it look like a summoned ghost.

Qiu Hu's cultivation was far beyond his age; if he didn't have various strange encounters like He Lingchuan, that could only be explained as being gifted. They hadn't fought for long, but He Lingchuan had already probed that this person's cultivation was actually not inferior to Fan Sheng's!

What level was Fan Sheng? Deputy Commander of the Tongxin Guard of Lingxu City.

The Tongxin Guard was responsible for the security work in the southern part of Lingxu City, and those who could sit in the position of deputy commander, besides unquestionable loyalty, would never be a straw bag.

At the beginning, He Lingchuan regarded Fan Sheng as a formidable enemy, and it was not easy to win against him at the Chaohu He Palace in Bai Sha, which was a pre-arranged layout and borrowed clever force, commonly known as leaving a pit for people to step into.

Of course, later he rode the wind and waves all the way, especially after the Xushan incident, his state of mind and cultivation had been greatly improved; if they met on a narrow road, defeating Fan Sheng again wouldn't be said to be easy, but it was also ten to nine.

But a youth who was unknown in the Rongshan sect could be mentioned in the same breath as the pride of the imperial capital? He Lingchuan was very surprised.

Moreover, as soon as he engaged with Qiu Hu, he knew that this youth had not only been on the battlefield but also had full hands of human lives, proficient in so-called killing techniques.

Fan Sheng's strength and martial arts were purer than his, but that kind of neat skill and that kind of fierce momentum were what Fan Sheng lacked.

For He Lingchuan's several secret glances, Qiu Hu didn't care. For so many years, he had long been accustomed to others casting strange looks at him.

His injuries were not light, and his fellow disciples had already handled them roughly, and the Rongshan sect's external medicine was also easy to use. But he was still bleeding while fighting the cicadas, yet he didn't frown, as if he didn't know pain.

He Lingchuan handed him a pack of Shituo powder: "For pain relief."

Qiu Hu looked at him, took it, threw his head back and swallowed it, and then gulped down water to send it down.

This was accepting He Lingchuan's kindness. The other side's cultivation was better than his, so there was no need to use medicine if he wanted to kill him.

Qiu Hu suddenly asked: "Where did you learn your skills, and where did you fight?"

Of course, he could also probe that He Lingchuan was also a veteran of the battlefield, not fighting with vain tricks, only looking at speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, being brave when it was time to be brave, and being cowardly when it was time to be cowardly.

"I don't have a master." He Lingchuan smiled slightly. "I learned some shallow martial arts, all practiced on the battlefield in the west."

He confused the concept. No master didn't mean no one to guide him; he learned various martial arts in Panlong City, not only sparring with teammates but also having performances and teachings, and even various courses in the Yuewu Hall would specifically lecture on the insights of qi, strength, and cultivation methods.

Of course, the most important thing was the experience of dying on the battlefield, which he exchanged for dozens of lives, and the advantage was unique.

Qiu Hu wanted to say something but stopped.

After walking for a while, the Rongshan station arrived.

They had been walking down the mountain road all the way, and now in front of them was an extremely open large valley, with mountains, water, and people.

Three valleys were connected, which were the size of three cities, all with lights stretching, as if they were the ground reflection of the stars in the sky.

High mountains stretched along the edge of the valley, with paths and buildings appearing and disappearing amidst the sea of mist in the pine forest, dotted with a few flickering lights, possessing the lush and flourishing atmosphere of an immortal realm.

Qiu Hu pointed to the foot of the mountain: "Go there."

His face was a bit pale, which was due to excessive blood loss. His fellow disciples wanted him to rest, but he refused.

After entering the valley, the road was easy to walk.

The crowd walked to the foot of the mountain, stepped onto the bamboo platform, and Qiu Hu pressed the mechanism, and the whole bamboo platform began to rise, quite steadily.

He Lingchuan remembered the 'Jinghong Crossing' array used on the floating island of Lingxu City, which had astonishingly high efficiency in carrying passengers up and down, but the energy consumption was also astonishingly high, hundreds of jin of mysterious crystals a day.

How could an ordinary Taoist sect be as extravagant as it? The Rongshan sect's lifting mechanism had already been built quite well.

The bamboo platform rose until it reached the mountainside before stopping, and the crowd walked another dozen stone steps to reach the hall of the Rongshan sect.

Having been in this world for so long, finally there was an old senior whose image matched He Lingchuan's description of "Taoist bones and fairy wind."

This was Elder Dao Quan of the Rongshan sect.

This person had wide sleeves and white beard and hair, and was adding firewood to the pond fire in the room.

Seeing the injuries on Qiu Hu's body, he was taken aback.

After listening to Qiu Hu's introduction, he stepped forward two steps and looked at the three guests carefully, his gaze lingering on Dong Rui the longest, because the Ghost Ape was standing on his shoulder, honestly and silently.

He Lingchuan took out a black iron ring, and Elder Dao saw it, so he waved all the disciples on the left and right away, leaving only one Qiu Hu.

"Password?"

"The spiritual mountain is boundless, the best in the world."

These four words were read out, and Elder Dao was so shocked that his white eyebrows were about to fly up. He looked at He Lingchuan from head to toe, his eyes full of curiosity: "What did you do?"

"What does the elder mean?"

"I heard for the first time that Songyuan had such a high evaluation of someone." Elder Dao said, "He is arrogant, what did you do to make him admire you so much?"

Oh, so that's what the password given by Fang Canran meant? Objective, objective.

Songyuan was Fang Canran's code name.

He Lingchuan looked left and right; in this big house, besides their own three, there were only Elder Dao and Qiu Hu.

Elder Dao understood his meaning and said to Qiu Hu again: "You are seriously injured, go to the Tianyu Pavilion for treatment and rest early."

Qiu Hu then responded with a "Yes" and turned to leave, his waist still straight.

He Lingchuan apologized at the right time: "Qiu brother is hard and fierce, I couldn't hold back when sparring with him, please forgive me, Elder."

Elder Dao laughed: "Swords have no eyes, Qiu Hu doesn't care himself, why should I stand up for him?"

His seemingly hearty temper won quite a bit of favor from He Lingchuan and the three.

Especially Dong Rui, who had seen too many pampered Taoist elders, who opened their mouths to talk about the reputation of the sect and couldn't tolerate the slightest offense.

"May I ask, is the Rongshan sect on the same front as Mr. Fang?"

Elder Dao was stunned: "Not bad, but outsiders don't know." He looked at the three people in front of him: "Where are the guests from?"

He Lingchuan and Zhu Xiuer looked at each other: "From the east."

From the east?

From here to the east, it was the Xulu Nation of the Northern Demon Nation. Elder Dao gave an 'oh': "Over the past few months, Beijia has not been peaceful. The guests came from there, was the journey smooth?"

"Not smooth." He Lingchuan smiled. "Beijia is going crazy, martial law everywhere, catching people everywhere. We also spent a lot of effort to slip out."

This word "slip" indicated their position.
