The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#608 - Meeting Gift

Lu Jing praised in his heart, as expected of a senior, the effect of this great formation was immediate.

This way, even the living corpses that escaped outside the quarry could be attracted back, and he would no longer have to worry about any slip through the net, saving him from suddenly having to switch to doomsday survival halfway through.

Just as he was thinking this, Lu Jing saw a rabbit dart out of the forest, heading straight for the great formation.

The rabbit was different from ordinary rabbits, obviously carrying a sense of mania, and both of its ears were gone, its eyes frighteningly red.

So Lu Jing also greeted it at the first moment, cutting off its head with a sword. After finishing, Lu Jing sheathed his sword, not forgetting to add another Verdant to the cherry tree behind him.

And the appearance of that rabbit seemed like a signal. After that, two horses ran out of the forest, striding on four hooves, charging towards Lu Jing!

Lu Jing used a little too much force with this sword, not only splitting the horse's head, but also dividing the body into two, causing a rain of blood to fall in the sky.

However, as the instigator, Lu Jing's expression did not change much. He did not show any joy at killing the enemies in succession, as if he had only done something insignificant.

Firstly, Lu Jing really didn't think there was anything to it, and secondly, in front of the one-eyed Daoist, a senior from the Directorate of Celestials, Lu Jing felt that he should be a little more modest.

With the former's experience, what hadn't he seen? His own little tricks were probably hard to catch his eye.

However, he didn't know that the one-eyed Daoist beside him was already experiencing waves of shock in his heart, because he had never seen this scene before.

How many Verdants has this kid thrown now? Why hasn't he shown any signs of exhaustion of secret power until now? Moreover, that's not all, if he didn't see it wrong just now, this kid seems to have also cultivated the Sword Control Technique?

Good fellow, are young people so fierce now?

Directly challenging the highest difficulty right from the start, is the Sword Control Technique something that ordinary people can cultivate? But looking at him like this, he seems to have already cultivated to the Spiritual Movement stage.

That's right! No mistake, this kid can already control his sword to injure enemies, at least Spiritual Movement.

But how did he practice this? If the one-eyed Daoist didn't remember wrongly, ordinary people would need at least six or seven years to finish Cultivating Radiance, let alone this kid having to take the time to practice his useless Verdant.

Just when the one-eyed Daoist was racking his brains in confusion, Lu Jing had already engaged in combat with the living corpses that rushed out of the forest.

Most of these living corpses were originally animals in the forest, just like the sika deer that Lu Jing and Yu Zhen encountered before. After being bitten, they became what they are now, which also made Lu Jing a little worried.

Fortunately, because of the existence of One-Line-Sky, they basically failed to run out.

Now, attracted by the one-eyed Daoist's great formation, they all ran to be physically purified by Lu Jing.

This slaughter lasted for nearly an incense stick of time before nothing else ran out of the forest.

And the one-eyed Daoist also felt a burst of fatigue. In fact, with his cultivation, there should be no burden in such a short period of time, but he couldn't help but have a strong desire to win, and he himself pushed the great formation to the extreme.

He was frantically absorbing true energy non-stop, originally wanting to make the young man realize the immensity of heaven and earth, but now seeing Lu Jing busy fighting while Verdant was thrown no less, he was still full of energy and jumping around, but he felt the rapid consumption of secret power instead.

But since Lu Jing didn't surrender, he, as a senior, couldn't open his mouth first.

So even though there were no more living corpses coming out of the forest, the one-eyed Daoist was still maintaining the operation of the great formation.

As a result, after waiting for a while, Lu Jing heard another movement from the forest.

After a moment, he saw a woman with only one arm and half a chest running out from inside.

Sure enough, there are still some!

Lu Jing secretly praised the one-eyed Daoist's caution again in his heart. No wonder he didn't say a word when there was no movement in the forest before. He should have expected this scene to happen.

But after seeing the woman, Lu Jing also sighed. The one incense stick of time that the one-eyed Daoist gave him before was not without basis. A normal person running at full speed would take about one incense stick of time. No matter where he was in the forest, he should be able to get here.

And the speed after becoming a living corpse will only be faster. It took this woman so long to rush here, which means that she was probably not in this valley before.

In other words, after all, there are still living corpses that have left here.

Lu Jing looked at the one-eyed Daoist and saw that the latter's face was not very good either, knowing that he probably also thought of the same problem.

As long as there are fish that slip through the net, even if there is only one fish that slips through the net, running outside may bring big trouble.

Because the spread rate of this thing is almost catching up with a plague.

Realizing this, the one-eyed Daoist also put away his thoughts of educating Lu Jing and instead began to concentrate on controlling the great formation, striving to attract all the living corpses here before they ran far away, and wipe them all out.

As time passed, human living corpses did come one after another.

However, looking at their clothes, most of them were refugees or farmers from nearby. These people were obviously not the first living corpse to leave here.

The one-eyed Daoist had already begun to feel a little empty in his upper dantian. This was a normal reaction to excessive consumption of secret power.

But what was not normal was that he found that Lu Jing next to him was still as if nothing had happened.

But as a senior, the one-eyed Daoist certainly couldn't be stingy, so he said to Lu Jing, "Boy, you have also consumed a lot of secret power, come and eat one."

"Thank you for Senior Wu's kindness, but I won't."

The one-eyed Daoist was anxious when he heard this, thinking, good boy, are you really not planning to save any face for me? Didn't you see that I, this senior, have already eaten it? If you don't eat it, wouldn't it seem that I am useless and can't hold on first?

So he took out the majesty of a senior and said seriously to Lu Jing, "Although we are meeting for the first time, I think you are quite pleasing to the eye. Let's take this as our meeting gift. You must accept it."

Seeing this, Lu Jing didn't want to refuse any more. Okay, accept it, anyway, just don't eat it.

So he walked over and grabbed the medicine bottle from the one-eyed Daoist's palm, "Thank you, Senior Wu."

The corner of the one-eyed Daoist's eye twitched. He was asking Lu Jing to take one, not to take all of them. This is really good stuff, especially now that the secret power is becoming more and more scarce, and he himself doesn't have much stock left.

Seeing that Lu Jing had already grabbed it in his hand, he couldn't take it back, so he could only squeeze a smile on his face while his heart was bleeding, "Good, young people should be more cheerful."
