#874 - Fire Skylark, Little Fire!
"Qingchen, remember, the Luo family will always be your backer."
Luo Tianhe said.
“No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can come back to us.”
"Yes, father."
Luo Qingchen nodded.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should leave now."
Luo Changfeng said.
"Qingchen, take care on your journey!"
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang said in unison.
"Father, mother, ancestors, I'm leaving now!"
Luo Qingchen bowed to the three of them, then turned and left.
His figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Qingchen, you must return safely!"
He traveled through mountains and rivers and experienced all kinds of customs and cultures.
One day, Luo Qingchen came to a small town called "Qingfeng Town".
The town is not big, but it is very lively.
There are shops lining both sides of the street and a constant stream of pedestrians.
"Sir, are you here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"
Luo Qingchen walked into an inn and was greeted warmly by the waiter.
"Prepare a room for me and some of your specialties."
Luo Qingchen said.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
The waiter led Luo Qingchen to a guest room on the second floor.
"Sir, please take a rest first. The food will be here soon."
The waiter said this and walked out.
Luo Qingchen sat in the room for a while, and the waiter brought the food.
"Sir, your meal is ready."
The waiter placed the food on the table and said.
"Well, go down."
Luo Qingchen said.
"Sir, please enjoy your meal."
The waiter walked out.
Luo Qingchen picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise.
The door of the inn was kicked open.
"Get out of here!"
An arrogant voice sounded in the lobby.
"We from the Blood Demon Sect have this place covered today!"
Luo Qingchen frowned, put down his chopsticks, and walked out of the room.
He came to the railing on the second floor and looked down.
A group of men in black clothes with bloody skulls embroidered on their chests broke into the inn.
They were all ferocious looking and holding swords. They drove out all the guests in the inn.
"Blood Demon Sect?"
Luo Qingchen muttered to himself.
He had heard of this sect, which was a notorious evil sect that committed arson, murder, looting and all kinds of evil.
"Who are you? How dare you act wildly here!"
The innkeeper, a short and fat middle-aged man, mustered up his courage and stepped forward to question.
"You old man, you're looking for death!"
A man in black slapped the innkeeper in the face.
“Bang!”
With a crisp sound, the innkeeper was slapped to the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"father!"
A young woman screamed and ran over to help the innkeeper up.
"You bunch of beasts, I'm going to fight you!"
The young woman roared and rushed towards the man in black.
"You're looking for death, little girl!"
The man in black grinned and kicked the young woman in the abdomen.
"ah!"
The young woman screamed, flew backwards and hit the wall.
"You beasts, you shall not die well!"
The innkeeper struggled to get up, cursing angrily.
"You old man, how dare you be so stubborn!"
The man in black stepped on the innkeeper's chest and said.
"Believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"
"stop!"
A voice suddenly sounded.
Luo Qingchen walked down from upstairs.
"Who are you, kid?"
The man in black looked at Luo Qingchen and asked.
"You don't deserve to know who I am."
Luo Qingchen said lightly.
"You'd better get out of here immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"Hahaha!"
The man in black laughed.
"Boy, you are so arrogant!"
"Do you know who we are?"
"We are from the Blood Demon Sect!"
"Blood Demon Sect?"
Luo Qingchen sneered.
"I don't care what sect you belong to. Today, none of you will leave here alive."
"Boy, you're looking for death!"
The man in black roared and pounced towards Luo Qingchen.
"Tianyuan Sword Technique, first move, Tianyuan strike!"
Luo Qingchen shouted softly, drew out his sword, and stabbed out.
The sword flashed and passed by like lightning.
"puff!"
With a slight sound, a bloody hole was pierced in the chest of the man in black.
His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
“You…you…”
He wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
His body slowly fell down.
"this……"
The other men in black were all stunned.
They didn't expect that Luo Qingchen could kill their companions so easily.
"Boy, you actually dared to kill our Blood Demon Sect's people!"
A man in black pointed at Luo Qingchen and roared.
"You're dead!"
"You, the Blood Demon Sect, have committed many evil deeds, and everyone has the right to kill you."
Luo Qingchen said coldly.
"Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and eradicate you scum!"
“Arrogant!”
The men in black roared and rushed towards Luo Qingchen together.
"Tian Yuan Sword Technique, second move, Tian Yuan Double Absolute!"
Luo Qingchen shouted softly and swung out with a sword.
Two sword energies shot out from the tips of the swords and slashed towards the men in black.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
A scream was heard.
The men in black fell in a pool of blood one by one.
“This…how is this possible?!”
The innkeeper and the young woman were both stunned.
They didn't expect that Luo Qingchen was so powerful.
"Thank you for saving my life, young man!"
The innkeeper came to his senses, quickly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Luo Qingchen to express his gratitude.
"Thank you for saving my life, young man!"
The young woman also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Luo Qingchen to express her gratitude.
"No need to be so polite."
Luo Qingchen said lightly.
"When we see injustice, we should help others. This is the duty of people of our generation."
"Young man, your kindness and generosity will be unforgettable to us, father and daughter!"
The innkeeper said.
"Young man, what is your name? We, father and daughter, can repay your kindness."
"My name is Luo Qingchen."
Luo Qingchen said.
"Young Master Luo, your kindness is so great that my father and I cannot repay you in any way."
The innkeeper said.
"How about this, my father and I are willing to follow you and work like slaves for you to repay your kindness."
"No need."
Luo Qingchen shook his head and said.
"I have something else to do, so I'll say goodbye now."
After saying that, Luo Qingchen turned and left.
"Young Master Luo, please take care!"
The innkeeper and the young woman spoke quickly.
Luo Qingchen left the inn and continued walking eastward.
Luo Qingchen left Qingfeng Town and headed eastward. After several days, he arrived at the foot of a mountain called "Luoxia Mountain Range".
Luoxia Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, with steep mountains and beautiful scenery. There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants growing in the mountains, and magical beasts roaming around, making it a good place for cultivators to explore and hunt for treasures.
Luo Qingchen walked into the mountains along a winding mountain road.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a beast roar was heard.
A huge black bear jumped out from the woods and blocked Luo Qingchen's way.
"You evil beast, you're looking for death!"
Luo Qingchen snorted coldly, drew out his sword and stabbed at the black bear.
The black bear has thick skin and flesh and is extremely strong. Ordinary swords and knives cannot hurt it at all.
However, the long sword in Luo Qingchen's hand is no ordinary item.
This is the "Tianyuan Sword" given to him by Luo Changfeng, the ancestor of the Luo family. It is a top-grade spiritual weapon.
"puff!"
With a slight sound, the Tianyuan sword pierced into the black bear's chest.
"roar!"
The black bear let out a scream and fell to the ground.
Luo Qingchen put away his sword and stood there, expressionless.
A mere black bear was not something he should take seriously.
He continued walking into the mountains.
After walking for a while, Luo Qingchen suddenly stopped.
He smelled a faint medicinal aroma.
"This is... the smell of elixir!"
Luo Qingchen's heart moved.
He followed the scent of medicine and came to the edge of a cliff.
On the steep cliff, there grew a magical herb that was completely green and emitted a faint glow.
"This is... 'Bi Ling Grass'!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Luo Qingchen's eyes.
Biling grass is a very precious elixir that can be used to refine "Biling Pill".
The Biling Pill can improve one's cultivation and strengthen one's physical fitness. It is the pill that all immortal cultivators dream of.
“I didn’t expect that there would be a green spirit grass growing here!”
Luo Qingchen was secretly delighted.
He was about to go forward to pick them when suddenly, a voice was heard.
"Boy, put down the Biling Grass!"
Luo Qingchen frowned and turned to look.
Three men in green robes came over.
"Who are you?"
Luo Qingchen asked.
"We are disciples of Qingyun Sect."
The leading man said.
"We were the first to discover this green spirit grass."
"Get out of here now if you know what's best for you!"
"Qingyun Sect?"
Luo Qingchen sneered.
"I don't care what sect you belong to. I like this green spirit grass!"
"Boy, you're looking for death!"
The Qingyun Sect disciple roared and rushed towards Luo Qingchen.
"Tian Yuan Sword Technique, third move, Tian Yuan returns to oneness!"
Luo Qingchen shouted softly and swung out with a sword.
The sword flashed like a bolt of lightning, cutting through the sky.
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
There were three slight sounds, and the three Qingyun Sect disciples all fell in a pool of blood.
"Vulnerable."
Luo Qingchen put away his sword and stood up, speaking calmly.
He walked forward, picked the Biling Grass and put it into his storage ring.
"Now, we can refine the Biling Pill."
Luo Qingchen was secretly delighted.
He continued walking into the mountains.
Not long after walking, Luo Qingchen discovered several precious spiritual herbs.
He picked all these elixirs and put them into his storage ring.
“It’s a good harvest.”
Luo Qingchen was in a good mood.
He decided to go deeper into the Luoxia Mountains to see if he could find more elixirs.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar of beasts came from the depths of the mountains.
Luo Qingchen's expression changed.
"What kind of spirit beast is this?"
He felt a powerful aura approaching him.
"not good!"
Luo Qingchen said secretly in his heart.
He quickly turned around and tried to escape.
But it was too late.
A giant fiery red bird appeared in front of him.
This giant bird, with its wings spread out, is more than ten feet long.
Its body was burning with raging flames, emitting terrifyingly high temperatures.
"This is... 'Fire Skylark'!"
Luo Qingchen exclaimed.
The Fire Skylark is an extremely powerful spiritual beast, whose strength is comparable to that of a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
“Damn it!”
Luo Qingchen cursed inwardly.
He didn't expect that he would encounter a spiritual beast of this level.
"Human, how dare you trespass into my territory!"
The Fire Skylark spoke in human language with an icy voice.
"Excuse me."
Luo Qingchen cupped his hands and said.
"I'm leaving now."
"Want to leave?"
Fire Skylark sneered.
"Do you think that my territory is yours to come and go as you please?"
"So what do you want?"
Luo Qingchen asked.
“It’s very simple.”
Fire Skylark said.
"Hand over all the spiritual medicines you have."
"Otherwise, die!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Luo Qingchen flatly refused.
How could he possibly give the elixir that he had picked with great difficulty to Fire Skylark?
"In that case, then go and die!"
The Fire Skylark roared and pounced towards Luo Qingchen.
It opened its huge mouth and spewed out a stream of blazing flames.
"Tianyuan Sword Technique, fourth move, Tianyuan Dawn!"
Luo Qingchen shouted softly and swung out with a sword.
The sword light shone like the rising sun, illuminating the entire valley.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the flame and sword light collided with each other.
A powerful gust of air spread out in all directions.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Luo Qingchen took several steps back before he could steady himself.
“What a powerful force!”
Luo Qingchen was secretly shocked.
The strength of this Fire Skylark is indeed powerful.
"Human, you were able to block my attack?"
Fire Skylark was a little surprised.
"But that's as far as you can go!"
"Fire Skylark, don't be so complacent!"
Luo Qingchen said coldly.
"Today, I'm going to let you know how powerful I am!"
"Tianyuan Sword Technique, fifth move, Tianyuan Destroying the World!"
Luo Qingchen shouted loudly and swung out with a sword.
This sword contains all of Luo Qingchen's spiritual power and the powerful force of the Tianyuan Sword.
The sword light shone like the light of annihilation, illuminating the entire world.
"boom!"
With a loud bang that shook the earth, the Fire Skylark was knocked away and fell heavily to the ground.
"puff!"
The Fire Skylark vomited blood and its breath was weak.
"Human, you...you actually..."
Fire Skylark widened his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.
It could never have imagined that it would be defeated by a human.
"Fire Skylark, you lose."
Luo Qingchen put away his sword and stood up, speaking calmly.
"I...I give up."
Fire Skylark struggled to stand up and said.
"Human, you are very strong. I am no match for you."
"I am willing to submit to you."
"Submit to me?"
Luo Qingchen was a little surprised.
"Yes."
Fire Skylark said.
"I am willing to be your pet and follow you around."
"this……"
Luo Qingchen hesitated for a moment.
It’s not bad to tame a fire lark.
"Okay, I promise."
Luo Qingchen said.
"Thank you, Master!"
Fire Skylark said quickly.
It flew in front of Luo Qingchen and lowered its head to show its submission.
Luo Qingchen stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of the Fire Skylark's head.
"From now on, you can be called Xiaohuo."
Luo Qingchen said.
"Yes, Master."
Xiaohuo said.
Luo Qingchen was very happy after taming Xiaohuo.
He continued to walk deeper into the Luoxia Mountains.
With Xiaohuo's company, Luo Qingchen felt like a fish in water in the Luoxia Mountains.
