Chapter 68: They All Call Luo Tian Old Demon
That night, the Yingying Monster brought back a blindfolded crow, carrying with it the items Luo Xiu had purchased.
Recently, besides having Luo Xiu buy Qi Gathering Pills, array materials, and talismans, Xu Ning would occasionally send him a few mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills for his own cultivation.
At this point, the crow had reached the third level of Qi Refining cultivation through Xu Ning's feedings, making him much more efficient at carrying ssages and packages.
He opened the package, took out a new storage bag, and fed the crow so ordinary pork to upgrade it.
It quickly upgraded the crow to a top-grade mortal level. Then he fed it a piece of spirit beast at, upgrading it to a low-grade spirit level.
The reason he didn't upgrade it to a divine mortal level before upgrading to spirit level was that this crow was ant for Luo Xiu to use. The foundation wasn't that important. It would serve its purpose.
Next, they needed to plan more systematically. For safety, Luo Xiu would have to stay behind the scenes. He couldn't be directly exposed.
Afterwards, Xu Ning packed up the harvested spirit herbs and wrote instructions.
He instructed Luo Xiu to find soone he could control and prepared a poison pill for him. He needed subordinates.
The antidote would be distributed monthly by Xu Ning through the crow.
From now on, the crow would follow Luo Xiu and be at his service. It was his responsibility.
Then there were the items purchased this ti: a large quantity of array materials, a large quantity of blank talismans, a large quantity of Qi Gathering Pills, and various spiritual herbs.
After finishing his work, Xu Ning put everything into a storage bag, wrapped it up, and then had the Yingying Monster take it along with the crow to deliver to Luo Xiu.
The storage bag was sothing Xu Ning had Luo Xiu buy a few days ago for over a hundred spirit stones. It was his first.
Watching the Yingying Monster disappear into the night, Xu Ning sighed. The plan was progressing.
The crow had been blindfolded the whole ti and had never seen Xu Ning's true face. Even if it were caught and its soul searched one day, the other party would have a hard ti figuring out Xu Ning's identity. It was a necessary precaution.
After briefly considering his next move, Xu Ning sat back on the bed, took out Qi Gathering Pills, and began upgrading them.
He had asked Luo Xiu to purchase a lot of spiritual herbs this ti, so Xu Ning directly upgraded two high-grade Qi Gathering Pills. Then he consud them and began cultivating.
It had to be said that the difference between high-grade and mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills was simply not in the sa league. The spiritual energy contained in high-grade pills was terrifyingly pure. The effect was magnified many tis over.
Just one pill gave Xu Ning a feeling that he was about to break through to the next level. His dantian surged with energy.
Of course, this was just an illusion from the rapid influx. According to Xu Ning's estimation, at least twenty more high-grade pills like these would be needed for him to actually break through to the second level of Qi Refining.
This effect was already quite good compared to his massive foundation. His progress was accelerating.
However, the resources required for those twenty pills were giving Xu Ning a headache. The cost was enormous.
anwhile, Luo Xiu also received what Xu Ning had sent from the crow.
If you co across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Looking at the blindfolded crow next to the owl, and considering his senior's instructions, Luo Xiu was extrely excited.
This ant he was no longer a pawn that his senior could discard at any ti. He was now a relatively important link in the chain, trusted with more responsibility.
Moreover, Luo Xiu thought that since his senior had asked him to find the first person, he would definitely ask him to find a second and a third. He was building a network.
At that ti, he would be the only one directly contacting his senior, second only to him in the organization. That was power.
After so contemplation, Luo Xiu quickly stood up, removed the crow's blindfold, and greeted it respectfully. "Hello, friend."
In Luo Xiu's view, what his senior had sent was definitely not simple. This crow was no ordinary beast.
The crow seed to possess its own arrogance. It nodded slightly to Luo Xiu, acknowledging him.
Luo Xiu smiled. "From now on, we're partners. We need to look after each other. I'll take care of you."
After saying this, Luo Xiu, following Xu Ning's instructions, began passing on the cultivation techniques to the crow. It needed to grow stronger.
As for finding people, Luo Xiu decided to take a closer look first and get the things his senior had asked him to purchase sorted out. He would recruit carefully.

Outside the market.
A group of people surrounded a severely injured youth, their weapons drawn.
"Hahaha, Zhou Lin, didn't expect this, did you? You'd fall into my hands!" The speaker was also a youth, looking about the sa age as the severely injured boy. His na was Xiao Qi.
Zhou Lin was now severely injured, the intense pain contorting his face. His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at the speaker.
This person was nad Xiao Qi, and he ca from the sa village as Zhou Lin. They had grown up together.
They had once been full of youthful vigor, determined to make a na for themselves in the cultivation world and then travel together to an immortal sect.
Along the way, they experienced various life-and-death trials, eventually being taken in as disciples by a dying rogue cultivator who taught them the basics.
After their master's death, the two continued their struggle in the cultivation world, both reaching the second level of Qi Refining. They had survived together.
However, all of this was shattered when Zhou Lin obtained a mysterious item from a ruin. Jealousy blood.
Xiao Qi, believing Zhou Lin had obtained a rare treasure, rallied other rogue cultivators to ambush him and take it.
"Xiao Qi, you'll die a horrible death!" Zhou Lin said through gritted teeth, his body trembling with rage and pain.
Xiao Qi sneered. "Whether I die a horrible death or not isn't up to you. But you're definitely going to die a horrible death now! Everyone, don't give him a chance! Kill him!"
With that, Xiao Qi took a step back, while the other rogue cultivators rushed towards Zhou Lin with their weapons raised.
Having fought for years, Xiao Qi knew the importance of caution. To prevent Zhou Lin from having any hidden tricks up his sleeve, he let the rogue cultivators go first as a buffer.
Sure enough, after the group of rogue cultivators charged out, Zhou Lin suddenly activated a fire talisman he had hidden, burning the people in front of him until they scread in agony. They suffered severe injuries, but not death.
But that was all Zhou Lin could manage. He was quickly overwheld by the remaining rogue cultivators. He was out of tricks.
However, at that mont, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the shadows at an incredibly fast speed, instantly lting the rogue cultivators who had rushed towards Zhou Lin. They were vaporized.
This sudden turn of events completely exceeded Xiao Qi's expectations. He quickly looked in the direction where the lightning had appeared, his face pale.
Imdiately, a cultivator shrouded in black robes stepped out of the darkness. Xiao Qi was startled and quickly asked, "Senior, is there sothing you need? This is a private matter."
"Hehehehe, what's going on with so many people bullying one person? That doesn't seem fair," the black-robed man's voice was extrely eerie, sending chills down spines.
Xiao Qi's expression changed. "Senior, this is none of your business. I hope you won't interfere, lest you dirty your hands. We'll take care of it ourselves."
"You talk too much," the black-robed man said impatiently. He suddenly took out a talisman and activated it.
Instantly, a terrifying red lightning bolt shot out from the talisman, striking Xiao Qi directly before he could react.
"Mid-grade Fire Lightning Talisman!"
In his last monts, Xiao Qi only recognized the talisman before losing consciousness completely, his body incinerated.
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior!" Zhou Lin quickly bowed in gratitude, his voice weak.
The black-robed man looked down at Zhou Lin from under his hood. "I didn't save you for nothing. Now I'll give you two choices: one, beco my subordinate, serve , and I will provide you with corresponding cultivation resources to grow stronger. Two, die here and now."
Zhou Lin hesitated after hearing this. His mind raced.
Seeing that the other party was actually hesitating, Luo Xiu was imdiately furious. This was an opportunity that so many people would kill for, and you were still hesitating?
He then spoke in a seductive, persuasive tone. "Hehehehe, I've seen enough of the cruelty of the cultivation world. Being my subordinate isn't so bad. On the contrary, you'll gain resources you can't even imagine in your lifeti. You can get revenge on all those who wronged you."
Zhou Lin gritted his teeth upon hearing this. "Senior, are you a demonic cultivator? Is that your path?"
Luo Xiu subconsciously put his arms behind his back, adopting a mysterious air. "I don't know if I'm a demonic cultivator or not. I haven't defined myself. It's just that everyone seems to call Old Demon Luo Tian."
