This was a place of destruction, but also a place of cultivation. There were countless treasures, divine weapons, and weapons here.

Of course, you have to be alive. If someone died, then everything would be gone.

A rich man with ten thousand taels of gold was not a rare sight here, and there were also many companies that had private military power here.

This was an ordinary day, but an extraordinary person had appeared. His travel worn clothing could not conceal his inner temperament, and his gaze was sharp and firm.

That's right, Li Shaoqing had arrived. He began his first step of cultivation ? ? Demonic Beast Mountain Range. This trial of life and death quickly descended upon him.

He first came to a very famous small town around the Demon Beast Mountain Range ? Cloudy Sea Town. This was his first step.

Furthermore, there were three great clans here. The ancestors were legendary experts of the Ninth Heaven. Naturally, they were too far away from Li Shaoqing.

The three families were Lu, Dao, and Xue.

Each of the three families had their own power, regardless of whether they were strong or weak. Moreover, not only did they have a place in this rich Cloud Sea Town, they also stretched far away from it.

In the recent Lu Family, Lu Yun, the talent that only appeared once every hundred years was born ten years ago. In five years, Lu Yun's strength had reached the ninth level of the Spirit Realm, which made people envious.

However, in the next five years, Lu Yun's strength hadn't increased at all, and he still had this kind of strength. This caused him to suffer a great loss in his name as a genius.

? ?

In the Lu family, a severe youth was cultivating. He was sweating profusely and was unwilling to relax even a little.

"Brother Yun, this year's Family Competition is about to begin. With your strength, is that possible? " A cute little boy ran over.

Lu Long was eight years old, and had a ninth heaven spiritual sense. His cultivation was the same as Lu Yun.

"Hmph, Xiaolong, those trash don't know how to accumulate energy. To think that they would directly upgrade from the ninth heaven to the spirit realm. They actually gave up on such a great opportunity." Lu Yun said with a sneer, but his cultivation didn't stop.

"Brother Yun, are you cultivating the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Energy of the Void? But even the ancestor failed!" Lu Long said.

Geniuses are not ranked among the best in terms of cultivation speed, but in terms of fighting strength of the same level. As long as I reach the Spiritual Energy Perfection, with my cultivation base and my family's secret techniques, I will definitely be able to enter the top three of the Family Competition. Next year, I will first go to the North City's Large Competition and after the Large Competition ends, my cultivation will also break into the Spiritual Energy Realm. Lu Yun arrogantly said as he looked up.

"Wow, Brother Yun's dream is so ambitious. Xiao Long will definitely follow you in the future." Lu Long said.

Tch, this kind of person doesn't know that his heart is thicker than the sky and he wasted five years of time to comment on the profound mysteries of the Spiritual Energy among those people who are weaker than you. Yet, you are still dreaming about the perfection of your Spiritual Awareness. Looking at Lu Yun's cultivation environment, he clicked his tongue and said, "Hey, someone like you can actually enjoy such a good treatment from the family. If I were an elder of the family, I would definitely give you a good treatment."

Lu Long was furious: "Lu Feng, what is the meaning of this!"

"Xiaolong, don't get mad at a lunatic."

? ?

As for these things, Li Shaoqing didn't know about them because he was strolling around Cloudsea Town.

Li Shaoqing did not have much money either, only a hundred taels of gold. After killing the bandit leader, he took some, but not much else.

As Li Shaoqing walked above the prosperous town and looked at the bustling sounds of people peddling, he did not feel the stifling feeling in the city. Although there were a lot of "friends" in the city, they were always living under a lot of pressure.

Perhaps he didn't feel anything here. Although it wasn't as good as the construction of a city, that kind of simple and honest atmosphere, although not as relaxing as the countryside, was still very intoxicating.

Li Shaoqing didn't go to the places where breakfast was sold, nor to the places where the three great families were stationed. Generally speaking, only people with high status could go there.

Li Shaoqing, on the other hand, didn't have this sort of 'realization'.

By the way, Cloud Sea Town was divided into twelve districts. Three of the main districts, the three great clans, were stationed here, as well as some of their subordinate forces ?

The other nine areas included the mercenary area, the weapon sales area, the pill purchasing area, the gambling area, the business area, the death zone, and so on.

Although many of the regions were still deeply affected by the influence of the three great clans, such as the weapons sales area, the mercenary area, and the medicine gathering and buying area, the bosses of the three great clans all came from all over the city. Although the three great clans were also very adept at making decisions, it was impossible for them to offend so many people in one fell swoop.

Li Shaoqing was truly embarrassed. With a hundred taels of gold to eat and live a frugal life, he could live for twenty to thirty years by himself.

However, for martial arts training, everything had to be spent money. For example, weapons, a Common Grade would cost 10 taels of gold. As for Common Grade, that was something only a rich person could afford, at the very least, it would cost 100 taels of gold.

However, after Li Shaoqing had weighed his wallet, it was more than enough.

As they walked towards the weapon area, the human traffic was so thick that it exploded. Cloud Sea Town was extremely close to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, and most of the economic development of Cloud Sea Town was based on hunting Demonic Beasts and a series of businesses that followed.

The reason why the weapon sales area and the mercenary area were so large and could compete with the three great families was because the profit was the greatest. Why the weapon sales area and the mercenary area were so large and could compete with the three great families because the profit was the greatest.

As for the Mercenary District, a dozen or so big powers controlled it together. There were a lot of experienced young masters, or perhaps some people wanted to hunt powerful demon beasts, so it was impossible to do this alone. Moreover, there were a lot of lone rangers who would connect them together and collect the things they hunted, lowering the price with their own merit points.

As for the area for purchasing medicinal pills, there was no need to talk about it anymore. There was only one life left. With enough money, one would definitely buy more medicinal pills for a monopoly.

Traveling among the bustling crowd of weapon shops, the weapon area was not something that could be easily covered. For example, the highest grade weapon shop's first floor, the Treasure House, was actually selling Spirit Weapons. Although there weren't many of them, they were Spirit Weapons.

Of course, the cheapest price was 10,000 gold.

Li Shaoqing shook his head as he searched for other places. Finally, he walked into the Treasure House.

After entering the Treasure House, it was indeed the style of a big family. Everyone who came had a guide attendant.

Upon seeing Li Shaoqing walk in, one of the servant who was fine immediately came over, "Dear guest, what weapon do you want? Do you want me to tell you about the characteristics of the weapon, and to let you know whether or not the price of the weapon is suitable for you? "

The quality of the people here was also very good. They despised Li Shaoqing without even looking at his simple clothes. Maybe that genius had this kind of habit.

"Mm, alright, I'll go with you and take a look." On the other hand, Li Shaoqing was unambiguous. If there was going to be an advantage, why not take it? He couldn't be so foolish.

After the attendant introduced them, Li Shaoqing became more familiar with many weapons.

"Customer, this centrifugal hammer is extremely powerful and is not expensive either. It's only two hundred taels of gold. Why don't you take a look?" The attendant said to Li Shaoqing.

"Fine." Li Shaoqing had taken the weapons off the shelves with his tyrannical strength. The Treasure House sold weapons, but no one dared to steal them. This was because once they found out, they would be sentenced to death. Hence, this place was free to do business.

Who wouldn't? The main account was on the third floor of the Treasure House, and the other numbers were all on the second floor. This was the symbol of his position, and in the weapons section, the main name was on the third floor, which also signified his leadership position.

The first floor sold ordinary weapons, the second floor sold spirit weapons, and the third floor was used for the strong to rest and communicate with.

However, a weapon shop had to have a higher level than the main building, so the weapon store on the first floor didn't have a main building.

As for this Treasure House, even though his name was unknown, there was still a large stack of sub-numbers. In this weapon area, the Treasure House sub-number took up a third of the total number.

He spent a gold tael on the centrifugal hammer in the room given to him by the Treasure House. It felt too light.

"Waiter, what other important weapons do you have in this account? If only you had a staff." Li Shaoqing had a soft spot for swords and sticks. He believed that swords represented the aura of an Emperor, and sticks used weight to win in order to strengthen the attack of people like himself, who had a lot of strength. However, swords were generally just spiritual weapons, and Li Shaoqing could not afford them.

"Nice stick. We only have one here, but I'm afraid you won't be able to use it." The manservant said with a smile.

"It's fine. Just point me where it is." Li Shaoqing said.

"Alright." The attendant pointed at the large stick and said, "However, if you want to buy this weapon, you must tell the master of this level."

"Mm, okay, thank you." With that, Li Shaoqing went to look for the owner of the shop.

The attendant was a little depressed. Why didn't he give her a tip? Furthermore, he didn't buy anything under her lead, nor did he get any commission.

However, he was only depressed for a short while before going back to work. He needed more money.

This expert's cultivation was also at the first stage of the Spirit Energy realm, but he was in a miserable state. He could not afford to buy Spirit Weapons, so he could only come to buy ordinary weapons. At least he could buy a weapon to protect his life.

And the owner of the shop agreed with what he said. Under his simple and honest face, seeing that his opponent was a powerhouse of Spiritual Energy, he acted as if he had been cut by a knife. He didn't even care that he was only at the eighth level of his Spiritual Awareness, so of course he had this backing.

"Owner, how much is the huge stick?" Li Shaoqing revealed the smile of a youth. It was a very innocent and harmless smile.

"F * ck off, why is a little kid bothering me?" The owner said impatiently, "No, what do you want to see?"

Li Shaoqing said, "Ah, that huge rod."

"Big stick." The owner laughed. "Do you know how heavy this stick is? A little wet kid should go home to his mother."

"800 jin, but I want to give it a try." Li Shaoqing said firmly.

"Tsk."

"To attract attention."

"Can you afford it!?" "Hrmph."

"Let him try." A voice came from outside the door. That handsome youth was Lu Yun.

The pawnbroker's meaty body came running over, "Young Master Yun, why have you come? You see, this little one doesn't seem to be here, this one. " However, in the depths of his eyes, the master of the shop showed a hint of disdain.

Lu Yun, on the other hand, didn't mind: "Let him try it. If he can pick it up, then I bought it for him."

Li Shaoqing looked at that person, then at his tattered clothes. He couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, "Isn't that a bit too much for you to spend?"

"It's fine, take it and I'll give it to you." Leave it to your friends, I see that you are fated. "

"Alright." The current Li Shaoqing didn't have any schemes, he would be grateful to anyone who treated him well.

The eight-hundred-pound staff also produced an extremely loud sound as it fell to the ground.

However, Li Shaoqing was like an overlord of a cauldron. He used both of his arms to lift it up and then began to play around with it. He was quite adept at it.

Both of them felt pity for each other, speechless.

After a long time, Lu Yunyan said, "I'll give this stick to you." As he spoke, his eyes revealed a smile, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Li Shaoqing's hair was lifted by the breeze, and he smiled with such youthfulness: "Can we be brothers?"

Li Shaoqing's words shocked everyone. Lu Yun was a genius among the three families of Cloudy Sea Town. Although this genius no longer had his former glory, his legend was still shocking.

The smile on Luyun's face widened as he stretched out his hand, "I'm very happy to meet you. My name is Luyun."

"You are the genius of the Lu Family." Li Shaoqing didn't look dispirited, instead, his eyes were filled with confidence. "Since I'm your brother, I will definitely catch up to you."

"Go for it!"

"Go for it!"

? ?

In the competition area, Li Shaoqing fought with Lu Yun for twelve rounds. The first eight matches were very miserable, but the more he fought, the more time he had. It was just like the last match.

In the pill shop area, Lu Yun helped Li Shaoqing buy some medicine to heal his injuries.

In the Mercenary District, Lu Yun helped Li Shaoqing apply for a C ranked mercenary, and then joined forces with Lu Yun, a B ranked mercenary to create a mercenary group ? Divine Soldier Small General.

A thousand miles away, there was no such thing as eternal reunion in the world.

After training in the Cloudsea Formation for two to three days, his strength had improved by quite a bit. It didn't matter if it was his cultivation, strength, agility, or usage of weapons.

"Big brother, I won't go with you. I'm going to do intensive training. " Lu Yun shook his hand and said.

"I know. I said that sooner or later, I would catch up to you, even surpass you, and become a big brother who can protect you." Li Shaoqing smiled proudly.

"I hope that day will come, big brother." Lu Yun's eyes turned red.

"Second brother."

? ?

Walking in the dense forest, Shaoqing saw many people, but he also saw many more expensive herbs. Watching as one by one the outer ring gradually moved towards the inner circle to pick more precious herbs, the Shaoqing couldn't help but shake his head. Money really made people lose their lives.

Carrying that huge rod, Li Shaoqing walked towards the middle of the group. The challenge around this area was too low.

Shaoqing had come here to cultivate, and he also had Lu Yun as his brother. Thus, he had already done his homework when he came to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.

The Demonic Beast Mountain Range was divided into five levels. The outermost ones with a spiritual sense at the third or fourth level could come. As long as their luck was not too bad, they would be able to obtain some benefits.

They were in the middle of the encirclement. There were probably demon beasts of the seventh or eighth level with a spiritual sense. Sometimes, there would even be demon beasts of the Spiritual Qi realm, making this place even more dangerous. However, with Li Shaoqing's strength, it wouldn't be a problem for him to escape even if he encountered a spirit realm practitioner. Furthermore, based on his weapon, if he risked his life, he could bite a hair off a spirit realm expert.

After that was the inner perimeter. There were very few spirit sense demon beasts here, almost none.

And most of them were Demon Beasts at the Spiritual Energy realm. Even if the clan heads of the three great clans were unlucky, they would still fall here. Therefore, it was said to be a semi-forbidden area.

Furthermore, there were rumours that there were a few road realm beast kings in the forbidden area. Their strength wasn't something that the four city lords of the four cities could match.

There was also the most mysterious place of death in the innermost area. No one could clearly tell what was in it.

As for Shaoqing, his goal was to advance from the middle circle and train himself.

If he could enter the inner circle and stand at the edges, he should be able to obtain a greater harvest.

Along the way, the number of people had clearly decreased by a lot. This also proved that the danger was increasing.

However, Shaoqing was very excited and happy. Strength increased in times of crisis. Only hot-blooded battles could increase one's strength and combat experience.

He had walked quite a distance in the middle-circle as well, but it was very quiet.

Shaoqing wondered if something happened to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. This person was simply too unlucky. Just as he thought about it, a Gold Alloyed Panther sprang out from beside the tree. It had a vicious expression on its face. Upon seeing this human, Shaoqing, it pounced on him and bit him.

It looked fierce and his cultivation was even stronger. He already had a ninth heaven spiritual sense cultivation base.

On the other hand, didn't the Gold Leopard's speed say that only speed was unbeatable in this world? Its strength could be considered to be quite strong in the ninth level of the spirit sense.

However, Shaoqing was naturally not afraid. He liked the feeling of crisis. Only by doing this would he have a sense of experiential learning, and only then would he be able to achieve a breakthrough.

Who would dare to retreat? Shaoqing took a step forward and his momentum surged. He was also a peerless hero who could destroy an army of a thousand with a swing of his huge club.

Lu Yun was a good brother to Li Shaoqing, regardless of whether it was a pole technique or a cultivation technique. Although he could only cultivate to the third sky of the Spiritual Energy realm, it was more than enough for the current Li Shaoqing.

After a fierce battle, the Gold Alloyed Panther's tail was cut in half. Li Shaoqing's huge club, on the other hand, was nothing much, just panting for breath.

Although it was a beast, it knew how to advance and retreat. It knew that the human in front of it was very strong.

Having changed his strategy, Shaoqing found it difficult to continue the fight. After all, it was only for two days. How could Li Shaoqing be adept at using his stave?

After all, Shaoqing's speed wasn't comparable to a leopard's, and his staff wasn't very nimble either.

Shaoqing found it hard to guard against the gunfire. It was as though the Gold Alloyed Panther had struck three times. This was a battle that could only be fought once, and it was not certain that he would be able to land a single hit on it.

The Junior Martial Brother thought to himself, "This won't do. The Gold Alloyed Panther is using warm water to boil a frog. If I continue fighting it like this, I'll definitely die. I must fight it out."

Shaoqing didn't hesitate either. Pretending to be weak, he slowed his movements and was bitten by the Gold Alloyed Panther thrice consecutively.

Shaoqing felt that the time was ripe. He bought a hole for the Gold Alloyed Panther, and took out a short knife from his back. Li Shaoqing had actually prepared quite a few weapons.

The Gold Alloyed Panther had been fooled. Seeing how the human had revealed such an opening, it pushed its speed to the limit.

Bloody light, saber shadows. A bloody wound appeared on the Gold Alloyed Panther's throat as it breathed its last.

Li Shaoqing revealed an arc in the air as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead and the blood on the corner of his mouth. This was extremely dangerous, but fortunately, he was smart.

Shaoqing sat down, gasping for breath.

This time, it was truly soul-stirring. If it wasn't for the fact that this demon beast wasn't intelligent enough, he would have had to run away.

After resting for a while, Shaoqing stood up and cut the Gold Alloyed Panther into pieces with his saber. He then stored the materials into his tattered backpack. "Ai, this broken backpack, it would be bad if we fight. From now on, I'll change it to a better one." Shaoqing complained as he fiddled with his backpack. However, his eyes were filled with joy and pride.

Thinking about the battle scene, Shaoqing began to summarize his mistakes.

Shaoqing thought: If I had summed it up and fought this Gold Coin Leopard, I wouldn't have to be in such a sorry state.

Training, battle, summary. Just like a reincarnation, Shaoqing had already spent more than a month in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.

As he cultivated, Li Shaoqing's spiritual sense slowly rose to the point where it was on the verge of breaking through. That huge rod had also made it as pure as fire.

He would first go to the inner area to take a look, then he would go out to look for Lu Yun.

? ?

"Holding the stick, Li Shaoqing slowly walked forward. Then, he heard the sound of someone saving his life." "Save me, save me, someone (Beast) wants to eat me! Save me, squeak."

Shaoqing looked towards the source of the sound. There was an ape at the peak of the first level of the Qi Jing realm chasing after a little mouse.

Li Shaoqing wiped his eyes. He wasn't mistaken, it was the sound made by the little mouse.

Shaoqing was baffled. Weren't those demonic beasts only at the road realm? How could they be chased and killed?

No, I can see it clearly, this rat's level is very low. Shaoqing was confused. Forget it, I won't think about it anymore.

Since this matter didn't concern him, he decided not to interfere in it.

However, Xiao Qing's eyes were focused on the little mouse, and the little mouse's gaze just so happened to be on the little girl, a feeling fleeting by. Right, fate.

Li Shaoqing could feel the bond between him and this little mouse, and it made him feel as if he couldn't be separated from it.

"Little mouse, come here." For some reason, this sentence was uttered by Shaoqing. Perhaps it was fate.

Li Shaoqing raised his staff and rushed over to engage in an intense battle with the ape.

After soaring up into the air, he kicked. Shaoqing had taken the ape by surprise.

"Caw." The ape gave a cry and jumped from the top of the tree to another.

The battle began!
