Chapter 82 Ge Long's Advice
Although Wan Chuan and Ge Long appeared on the ridge, they did not actually pursue them.
The two were eventually injured by the bandit leader's desperate counterattack.
Wan Chuan had a bloody welt on his arm, and the blood had soaked through half of his sleeve.
Ge Long's clothes were mostly torn to shreds, and his exposed skin was red and swollen.
However, his body was well-trained, making it difficult for ordinary weapons to injure him.
Apart from the two, the other four, including Bai Yu, weren't much better.
Almost everyone was injured, and everyone looked terrible.
Their opponents were also fearless and killed none of them.
Although the mission was completed, Wan Chuan's objective was not achieved.
Not to mention the loss of Liu Cong.
Ge Long glanced at the group and asked:
"What do we do next?"
Wan Chuan's nostrils twitched, and he snorted:
"Search! This place isn't far from their lair; we have to find something, no matter what!"
……
"Cough cough... Pfft..."
As he spat out a mouthful of blood, Lu Cheng's legs went weak, and he staggered, almost falling over.
Fortunately, they made it back to the convoy in time.
He hurriedly poured out two small pills from his pocket and swallowed them, then leaned against a tree stump and began to circulate the "Minor Longevity Technique".
Two weeks later, the Lesser Rejuvenating Pill took effect, and the condition improved somewhat.
Even so, I still felt dizzy and lightheaded, and my limbs felt like they were about to burst.
At this moment, Lu Cheng was powerless to resist. Any martial artist who had mastered internal energy could easily defeat him.
The aftereffects of burning blood are indeed quite severe.
However, he is indeed strong. Lu Cheng has just entered the Body Refinement Realm, and he can fight to a draw with a master who is almost at the beginning of the Perfection Realm by relying on his Blood Burning Technique. This is truly extraordinary.
practice!
You still need to practice. Of course, you can't do without practicing such a life-saving skill.
"puff!"
He spat out another mouthful of blood, and Lu Cheng began to tremble all over.
Daring not to think any further, he hurriedly activated the "Minor Longevity Technique" once more.
This time, however, the body's reaction was much more intense.
It felt as if every bone in my body was about to shatter, and my tendons and veins were constantly twisting.
Before he could complete a full cycle of internal energy circulation, everything went black.
"It's over!"
This was Lu Cheng's last thought.
The thought had barely formed when the person collapsed with a thud.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Cheng finally woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw two dense forests and a sky with gray clouds floating behind them.
"Junior Brother Lu has finally woken up." Ge Long's voice came from the side.
The constant jolting beneath him made Lu Cheng realize, in a moment, that not much time had passed.
He turned his head and looked around. Everyone else was there except for Liu Cong.
Lu Cheng asked calmly:
"Senior Brother Ge, how is it?"
Ge Long said disappointedly:
"The bandits were wiped out, and their stronghold was found, but we didn't get anything useful."
He paused, then said:
"We were all injured, and Liu Cong is gone."
Lu Cheng feigned shock and asked incredulously:
"What's going on?"
Ge Long sighed and shook his head:
"I didn't expect there to be Body Refinement Realm martial artists among the robbers, and more than one at that. When Junior Brother Wan and I were working together to deal with one of them, another one suddenly attacked us."
"We were both injured, and we didn't dare to hold back anymore. After we killed that person, we found that Liu Cong was already dead. Strangely, the body-refining martial artist who ambushed us actually fought with someone."
"We suspect that the person originally intended to continue targeting Junior Brother Bai and the other three, but was stopped."
"As for the person who blocked us, we've never seen him before, and we're certain he's not from the Dongyang Sect."
"Perhaps it was just some random person passing by, or maybe they didn't want to completely offend my Dongyang Sect, and a disagreement arose among them."
Ok?
Lu Cheng's whole body ached, and he couldn't even move his head, but at that moment he wished he could nod his head off:
"Brother Ge is absolutely right."
Ge Long's conjecture and explanation perfectly eliminated Lu Cheng, which was actually the best outcome.
"Junior Brother Lu is indeed quite strong. He lasted so long against a body-refining martial artist and managed to survive."
Bai Yu, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.
Lu Cheng didn't want to pay attention, but Wan Chuan actually looked over at him as well.
However, there was no doubt among them, only a sense of unease to find out the truth.
However, Lu Cheng had already prepared his explanation:
"I have a secret technique that allows me to unleash my full power in a short time. In addition, I have gained some insights from studying the 'Minor Longevity Technique' these past few days, and it seems that I made a breakthrough in my battle against that robber."
After he finished speaking, everyone was shocked and fell silent.
"You...broke through?"
Ye Ping asked somewhat hoarsely.
Not everyone is like Lu Cheng, who can immediately sense the primordial energy of heaven and earth and disassemble the cultivation technique according to his own needs.
She had been stuck at the peak of Qi Refining for over a year, but she couldn't find the bottleneck, let alone break through it.
Lu Cheng neither denied nor admitted it:
"I think it's still a bit lacking. After listening to Elder Cui Yuan's sermon in a few days, I should be able to gain some more insights, and then I might have a chance."
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, Wan Chuan suddenly snorted and spurred his horse forward at a faster pace.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ping, Bai Yu, and Xiao Yichen followed.
The four disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only Ge Long was left to drive the car, with Wei Jin following beside him.
After a long silence, Ge Long said calmly:
"Junior Brother Lu, please don't be offended. In fact, Junior Brother Wan has already been very restrained."
Lu Cheng knew that Ge Long was referring to Wan Chuan's anger.
But where does this "restraint" come from?
"Junior Brother Wan is the nephew of Senior Uncle Wansheng, who is the peak master of Falling Star Peak and the lineage master of Ancestor Qianyangzi."
When Ge Long finished speaking, Lu Cheng understood.
He's a second-generation rich kid.
The Dongyang Sect has nine peaks and eleven branches, each with its own peak master and branch master.
As a direct descendant, the fact that he hummed in response before leaving was already considered a sign of respect.
"Now that Junior Brother Wan has not only failed to achieve his goal but also lost Liu Cong, it means that his already small power will shrink even further."
"Oh?" Lu Cheng became interested. "Please explain in detail, Senior Brother Ge."
Ge Long smiled faintly:
"Among the nine peaks, the four Qi Refining Grandmaster Uncles are naturally the strongest, and the four of them occupy five of the four peaks."
"Guiyuan Peak, the sect leader Yun Lingzi is a descendant of the founder, Master Ziyin, and practices the Purple Qi Spirit Guiding Technique. In addition, there is also the lineage of Ancestor Xiaoyaozi."
"At Tianzhu Peak, Grandmaster Yun Huizi is a descendant of Grandmaster Qingxuzi, but he also practices the Purple Qi Spirit Guiding Technique."
"Tianji Peak, the lineage of Grandmaster Yunxiazi and Ancestor Taihezi, practices the Taihe Yuanqi Yin."
"The peak master of Washing Sword Peak is Grandmaster Uncle Han Lingxiao."
At this point, Ge Long smiled and glanced at Lu Cheng.
"It is the lineage of Patriarch Jingxuzi."
Lu Cheng had a slight understanding:
"Then Elder Cui Yuan...?"
Ge Long nodded:
"That's right, Elder Cui is a disciple of Grandmaster Uncle Han Lingxiao."
"Most of those in the Dongyang Sect who practice the corresponding techniques will naturally become disciples of the corresponding patriarch's lineage."
"However, there are exceptions; there are no strict requirements in this regard."
"For example, junior brother, although you are practicing the Lesser Longevity Technique, since you have joined junior brother Wan Chuan's side, if nothing unexpected happens, you will also become a disciple of Falling Star Peak in the future."
Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng frowned.
Ge Long seemed to have noticed something and comforted her:
"Junior brother, don't worry. It's just a faction. It has nothing to do with what kind of cultivation method you practice, and you don't need to worry about any problems that might arise later."
"For example, I practice the 'Shouyi Baoyuan Gong' of the Shouyi lineage."
"There is a great deal of understanding among the different peaks and lineages regarding the transmission of this technique."
"After all, if you block the disciples of another peak, then they can naturally block you as well, which would be detrimental to the development of the sect."
"However, it's not easy to get guidance from others, something you should know all too well, junior brother."
Lu Cheng responded with a sigh.
Ge Long continued:
"The peak master of Juyun Peak is from the lineage of Patriarch Baopuzi. The peak master Xu Zhao's personality is similar to that of Patriarch Baopuzi. He is a person who is simple, unpretentious, and has few selfish desires."
"Therefore, most of the affairs of Juyun Peak are handled by the eight elder deacons and twenty disciples deacons."
"And Juyun Peak is where most of the Dongyang Sect disciples live and cultivate, so there are naturally many internal entanglements."
"No one becomes a butler by chance; there has been a lot of negotiation and exchange behind the scenes."
"Junior Brother Wan Chuan doesn't hold the most power on Falling Star Peak. With Liu Cong's death, it will be difficult for him to regain his position as a deacon disciple."
"Moreover, it won't be easy to explain to Master Wan."
After he finished speaking, Wei Jin, who was standing to the side, interjected with a smile:
"I'm afraid Junior Brother Lu will have no choice but to pay those five thousand taels."
Lu Cheng's heart sank.
Could it be that by risking his life to kill Liu Cong, he managed to recover the five thousand taels of debt?
Suddenly, Lu Cheng heard Ge Long's secret telepathic message:
"Junior Brother Lu, perhaps we could try crossing Wanchuan."
Turning his head, he saw that Ge Long's expression was indifferent.
