“It’s you?”

Cheng Xu was shocked. When did this girl catch up with him? He actually didn’t notice it at all.

Xu Lu, who was standing in the air and surrounded by Qi and blood, sneered. “It really is you!”

“Tsk tsk, looks like we’re really fated!”

Cheng Xu teased Xu Lu and wanted to read Demoness’s data.

However, he was surprised to find that the [Read] option did not appear on Xu Lu’s body.

What was going on? It couldn’t be read?

He could clearly read it the last time.

Xu Lu naturally noticed the change in Cheng Xu’s expression. The corners of her mouth curled into a triumphant smile. “What’s wrong? You can’t use your evil technique anymore?”

Cheng Xu’s expression changed slightly. He did not expect this demoness to actually find a way to block the reading.

Seeing that Cheng Xu was silent, Xu Lu became even more pleased. “It seems that Father’s analysis is correct. You must have cultivated a special kind of spiritual evil technique!”

“How can you say that I don’t understand?”

“Still pretending!” Xu Lu smiled contemptuously. “In order to guard against your evil technique, I brought six different types of spiritual sense magic treasures this time. Now it seems that they are very effective.”

Cheng Xu’s mouth twitched.

It seemed that this Demoness was really smart. She brought six different types of spiritual sense magic treasures in one go.

It could be seen that some telepathic magical equipment could indeed work like a firewall or an anti-virus software to prevent the computers from reading.

“Tsk tsk, 1 just didn’t think that the multi-purpose Array Disk that has been so popular in the city recently was actually created by you?” Xu Lu sized up Cheng Xu with interest, her seductive eyes filled with curiosity.

Since he couldn’t read the Demoness’s data, Cheng Xu couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on her. The dual-core flying swords shot out from the left and right, carrying the sword aura of the Cloud Sword Technique.

Xu Lu casually took out the Blood Soul Bell and easily blocked the attacks of the two flying swords. Her eyes were filled with amusement.

“Handsome boy, oh handsome boy, do you think you can escape from my palm this time?”

Then, blood-red threads shot out from her back and weaved into a blood-red net that covered the sky.

“Don’t worry, Before 1 squeeze you dry, I won’t kill you, hehe…”

Xu Lu had already regarded Cheng Xu as her own.

Little did she know that Cheng Xu was no longer the Cheng Xu from before.

Red flames and white flames burned around his body, and the blood-red net that enveloped him was instantly burned. He then used the Cloud Sword Technique to attack Xu Lu.

Xu Lu was shocked when she saw the blood-red net being destroyed. “What a domineering flame! It broke my blood net so easily!”

“Since you’re here, then leave your little life behind!”

The Cloud Sword Technique’s sword force circulated like a sea of clouds.

Coupled with the +5 flying sword’s support, it firmly sealed Xu Lu.

“The handsome boy is getting more and more surprising!”

Xu Lu smiled calmly, her seductive eyes surging with a blood-red light.

The next moment, Cheng Xu felt the blood in his body start to flow backward, and his breathing became chaotic.

“Qi!”

As soon as the Qi word was spoken, a huge dark golden word appeared above his head.

Xu Lu, who was full of confidence a second ago, entered a state of disordered breathing just like Cheng Xu in the next second. Moreover, the degree of disorder was much more serious than Cheng Xu’s. Her entire person was quickly affected by the evil aura in her body, showing a ferocious state.

“How is this possible?!”

Although she knew that Cheng Xu had such a move, she did not expect Cheng Xu’s Qi word mantra to be so powerful.

The Qi word mantra in front of her even reminded her of Chi Yao Zhenren’s Qi word mantra.

Cheng Xu was not feeling well either. He subconsciously spat out a mouthful of blood. After hurriedly taking a few pills, he barely managed to control the restlessness of his blood.

Seeing that the demoness had already been affected by the baleful aura and was on the verge of going berserk, he directly used the Poison Ivy Technique to bind her, followed by the Poison True Word.

The Poison Ivy Technique was easily shattered by the Blood Soul Bell, but the Poison Word Mantra had successfully taken effect.

Xu Lu, who was already affected by the killing intent, turned purple in an instant.

“Demoness, die!”

Cheng Xu, who had successfully recovered, wrapped the scarlet and white flames around his flying sword and shot out with all his might.

Xu Lu’s pupils constricted, and the familiar blood needle shot out from her glabella again.

Boom!

The blood needles, which were usually extremely powerful, were easily shattered the moment they collided with the flying sword.

The +5 flying sword carrying the red and white flames was like a hot knife through butter as it headed straight for Xu Lu’s face.

What?!

Xu Lu turned pale with fright and hurriedly controlled the Blood Soul Bell to block with all its might.

Under the double impact of the red flames and white flames and the +5 flying sword, a crack appeared on Xu Lu’s high-grade Blood Soul Bell for the first time. It was barely able to withstand this fatal attack.

“Damn it, how did this guy become so powerful!”

At this moment, Xu Lu no longer had the confidence to continue fighting. She tried her best to suppress the killing intent in her body and hurriedly used an escape technique to escape.

Seeing that the demoness was about to escape, Cheng Xu immediately used the Ten Thousand Evil Eye Art to interrupt her.

However, Xu Lu, who was carrying six spiritual magic treasures, was not affected by the Ten Thousand Evil Eye Art. After leaving behind a look of unwillingness, she turned into a bloody shadow and disappeared.

“Damn it!

Cheng Xu cursed in his heart.

However, this battle also made him understand that he could not rely too much on the “hacking” function of the cultivation computer.

If he wanted to survive in the cultivation world, he still had to rely on his own true strength.

After recovering from his injuries, he hurried back to the Medicine Immortal Valley on his sword.

After returning to his cave abode, Cheng Xu immediately began to recuperate and cultivate, trying his best to increase his strength.

In the next few days.

Cheng Xu was almost in a state of semi-seclusion. From time to time, he would make a trip to the library cave to look for some new skills.

Because the Brilliant Red True Fire could be combined with fire-type skills, Cheng Xu was more inclined to choose fire-type skills.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the double amplification of the True Essence Pill and the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, his cultivation improved day by day.

However, the biggest change was still in his strength. The few bones that were difficult to chew on in the second and third levels of the library cave were all taken by him.

A few of the fire attribute skills displayed astonishing power after being fused and optimized.

“If we meet that Demoness again, we’ll definitely make sure she doesn’t return!”

Looking at the new skills in the cultivation computer, Cheng Xu’s confidence increased.

Of course, he was in such a hurry to increase his strength. On the one hand, the battle with the Demoness made him feel the importance of his own strength. On the other hand, it was also to prepare for the Martial Arts Competition of the various sects in a month.

Actually, he didn’t want to be too ostentatious. He just wanted to get a similar ranking.

However, it was said that among the rewards that the various sects took out, there was a heavenly treasure called Frost Rain Dew.

That’s right, it was the material needed to upgrade the CPU from Level 4 to Level 5.

He had no choice but to aim for the top few.

“Is Junior Brother Cheng in?” Jian Yuxiang’s voice came from outside the cave abode.

Cheng Xu hurriedly stood up to welcome her. “Senior Sister, what’s the matter?”

“I’ve already gathered all the materials on your list.” Jian Yuxiang smiled faintly. With a wave of her hand, she listed all the materials in front of Cheng Xu. “See if anything is missing.”

“No, no, 1 have everything. Thank you so much, Senior Sister.” Cheng Xu was extremely excited. “What about the fees?”

“These materials are quite rare. Fortunately, they are all goods from my own

Chamber of Commerce.”

“How much?”

“About eight hundred thousand spirit stones.”

Cheng Xu estimated. As expected of his senior sister. If he went out to buy these things, he would not need to think about it without a million yuan.

After decisively handing over 800,000 Spirit Stones to Jian Yuxiang, he happily put away all the materials.

“Speaking of which, why does Junior Brother need these materials?” Jian Yuxiang’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

“I want to refine a rather special magic treasure.”

A strange look flashed across Jian Yuxiang’s eyes. “Junior apprentice-brother can also forge magic treasures?”

“You’re messing around and can’t be seen.” Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled.

Jian Yuxiang smiled modestly and changed the topic, “I heard that Junior Brother Cheng has been running to the library cave recently. Did you comprehend any powerful spells?”

“No, I just randomly chose a few suitable spells. Isn’t the martial arts competition about to begin? Think of a way to increase your combat strength. 1 heard that Senior Sister Jian had comprehended the Flying Secret Technique a few days ago and caused quite a stir,” said Cheng Xu with a smile.

“I just comprehended the first level. I’m still far from it.”

“Senior Sister, you’re being too humble. Who in the entire Medicine Celestial Valley doesn’t know that Senior Sister specializes in powerful techniques?”

The two of them boasted to each other for a long time.

Cheng Xu had revealed his intention to send her off more than once, but Jian Yuxiang had no intention of leaving at all. Instead, she began to tour Cheng Xu’s cave abode with great interest.

“It’s a pity that I don’t have much talent in alchemy. Otherwise, 1 would really like to comprehend that mantra.” Jian Yuxiang sighed with regret as she toured the cave abode.

Bang!

A familiar sound came from Chi Yao Zhenren’s cave not far away.

Uh, it should be the Master’s furnace exploding again. It’s fine, It’s a small problem.” Cheng Xu signaled Jian Yuxiang not to panic.

“Furnace explosion?” Jian Yuxiang was puzzled, “With Senior Uncle Chi Yao’s alchemy skills, how could he make such a low-level mistake like exploding a furnace?”

“Uh, maybe he’s researching some new pill.”

Jian Yuxiang nodded slightly and didn’t dwell on what had just happened. Then, when Cheng Xu wasn’t paying attention, she asked, “Oh right, I wonder how Brother Xu’s Array Disk is going?”

“I’ve already refined it. Uh…”

Cheng Xu’s eyes widened.

He saw Jian Yuxiang looking at him with a faint smile. Her pretty face was flickering with shock. “Is it really Junior Brother Cheng?”

Cheng Xu stiffened for a long time and was puzzled. “By the way, how did Senior Sister connect me to him?”

Jian Yuxiang smiled and said, “Originally, it was only because of the name Xu Cheng and the feeling of deja vu on Junior Brother. 1 had a little suspicion until you took out those spirit stones.”

“Spirit stones?”

“That’s right. In order to better monitor the flow of funds, our Jian Chamber of Commerce usually puts a special mark on the spirit stones. And the spirit stones that Junior Brother Cheng just paid me clearly came from my Jian Chamber of Commerce,” explained Jian Yuxiang.

Cheng Xu was speechless. Who would have thought that he would give himself away because of the spirit stones?

“I just didn’t expect it to be Junior Brother Cheng.” Jian Yuxiang still had a look of disbelief on her face. “By the way, was the structure of that Array Disk really designed by Shidi?”

Since he had already been exposed, there was naturally no need to hide it.

“I saw that the multi-purpose Array Disk was so expensive at the Scorching Sun Sect’s Exposition of Magic. I happened to have studied some knowledge about refining and formations, so 1 tried it out. I didn’t expect it to work.”

Jian Yuxiang took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time.

“Medicine refinement, weapon refinement, array formation, talismans, junior brother is really…” Jian Yuxiang didn’t know how to describe it. “With Junior Brother’s amazing talent, it’s hard to imagine that he could only be an outer disciple in Cloud Sect.”

Cheng Xu smiled. “That… I hope Senior Martial Sister can help me keep this a secret.”

“Don’t worry, Junior Brother Cheng. I will help you hide your identity.”

“That’s good.” Cheng Xu breathed a sigh of relief. The last time he came back, he was followed by the Scorching Sun Sect. He was safe. In the future, he would trade in the Medicine Celestial Valley.”

Jian Yuxiang agreed.

“Oh right, the Green Sea Conches that Brother Xu mentioned last time have also arrived.” Jian Yuxiang teased playfully.

“Is that so? That’s good. How many spirit stones?” Cheng Xu was overjoyed.

“There’s no need for spirit stones,” Jian Yuxiang smiled sweetly and said, “Just treat it as a gift for me to acknowledge my junior brother..”
