The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#609 - Withdraw

Lu Jing hadn't expected that this Senior Wu, although he seemed a bit old-fashioned, was actually exceptionally generous.

Not only had he traveled a long distance to help him deal with the living corpses, but he also insisted on giving him another bottle of pills.

Although Lu Jing couldn't use the pills himself, he could sell them for money or give them to Xia Huai and Yan Yun.

In any case, he wouldn't lose out.

Therefore, Lu Jing felt he had even less reason to be lazy and had to work harder.

He took out the posture he had used to accelerate the growth of the ginseng and sprinkled the lush greenery onto the hawthorn tree as if it were free.

In just a short while, the hawthorn tree began to grow rapidly, becoming not only lush and leafy, but also blooming with small white flowers scattered among the green leaves, making it look exceptionally beautiful.

Soon after, the tree began to bear fruit, initially green, but quickly turning red, and eventually becoming completely red and heavy, bending the branches downwards.

Making people unable to resist reaching out to pick them.

Seeing this, the One-Eyed Taoist was no longer as shocked as before, because he was already numb.

Under the constant extraction of vitality from his great formation, the hawthorn tree not only did not wither, but also grew taller and taller, and now it was even blooming and bearing fruit.

Who could he reason with about this?

In addition, the One-Eyed Taoist saw clearly that Lu Jing had not even tasted the pills in his small bottle until now.

Was perfect foundation building really that magical?

The One-Eyed Taoist felt a daze, from the moment Lu Jing planted the hawthorn tree, everything that followed had completely deviated from his common sense.

Just as the One-Eyed Taoist was doubting life, Lu Jing had already beheaded six more living corpses.

After that, no living corpses appeared for a long time.

Speaking of which, perhaps he should thank the people of Qinglong Village.

If it weren't for the serious banditry in this area, with nine out of ten houses empty, and the nearby farmers either fleeing to the county town or seeking refuge with landlords with fortified manors, this disaster of living corpses would not have been limited to so few victims.

It might have already led to a large-scale zombie tide.

It was just that the source of this disaster had not yet appeared.

Lu Jing was a little worried that the guy was no longer nearby.

After all, seven or eight days had passed since the incident, and such a long time was enough to run far away.

Of course, there was also the possibility that the living corpse had been dealt with by a passing martial arts expert shortly after running out, resulting in the two of them not being able to find anyone now.

If he could choose, Lu Jing would of course prefer the latter possibility, but he also knew that one should not rely solely on luck.

The One-Eyed Taoist wiped the sweat from his forehead.

His consumption had been very high during this period, and even though he had just replenished some with pills, it wouldn't last too long.

Especially as an experienced monitor, he would never use up all his secret power before the target appeared.

Constantly maintaining 30% of his secret power was his bottom line, and also the reason why he had always been able to turn danger into safety.

So he looked up at the sky and said to Lu Jing, "Let's stop here for today.

Continuing to consume like this would not change anything, and he didn't know how this kid in front of him had trained, his secret power seemed to be inexhaustible, making the One-Eyed Taoist sigh in his heart that the younger generation was formidable.

However, Lu Jing on the other side didn't think much about it.

Seeing that the One-Eyed Taoist was planning to withdraw the formation, he only thought that the time was up.

After all, even the strongest formation had a range.

Once all the living corpses within the range were attracted, running the formation again would not have any effect on the living corpses outside the range.

So next, he could only rely on the power of the local government and the people.

Just as he was thinking, Lu Jing suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The One-Eyed Taoist frowned, and before he could speak, he heard Lu Jing say, "Senior Wu, don't stop yet."

The One-Eyed Taoist's heart stirred, "Did you discover something?"

Lu Jing nodded, "I heard movement in the woods, something is running this way."

"A wild beast?"

"Not like it, that thing is moving very fast," Lu Jing said, while closing his eyes, "Be careful, that thing is about to come out of the forest."

However, when the One-Eyed Taoist looked towards the forest, he didn't see anything.

The One-Eyed Taoist almost thought Lu Jing was playing him.

But at the next moment, he saw Lu Jing suddenly raise his hand, pointing in a certain direction, and the next moment he saw a small sword suspended in the air, shooting out towards that place!

And Lu Jing himself followed closely behind, pouncing out like a cheetah!

The commotion was so great that even the attentive One-Eyed Taoist was startled, thinking that a thunderclap had sounded in broad daylight.

At the same time, a scream came from the forest, followed by the sound of something retreating rapidly.

At this time, the One-Eyed Taoist knew that he had caught a big fish.

So he decisively withdrew the formation, released a lightness technique on himself, and used his qinggong to chase after him.

He had just run to the top of the slope when he heard the sound of fighting coming from the forest, but the sound was sometimes near and sometimes far, making him unable to determine which direction to chase.

He knew this was because both sides of the fight were moving quickly.

Then, the One-Eyed Taoist tried to chase twice, but found that his old arms and legs could hardly keep up, so he gave up and took out the materials for setting up the formation again.

Lu Jing chased the figure for a distance, and seeing that the latter seemed to be planning to run deeper into the dense forest, he prepared to take a shortcut to intercept him from the right, but he didn't expect the other side to just feint.

After making a gesture to escape, he suddenly stopped in his tracks halfway, and then, taking advantage of Lu Jing's body movement, he suddenly plunged his head and bit at Lu Jing's calf.

Seeing this, Lu Jing simply used the same trick, kicking up with one leg.

His leg almost smashed the figure's stomach, but the figure didn't seem to feel any pain, just reaching out and firmly grabbing Lu Jing's calf!

Then, he couldn't wait to bite down, as if the thing in his hand was a piece of juicy steak, but when he bit down, Lu Jing's leg didn't even leave a mark, but his teeth were knocked out in a row.

Lu Jing then took the opportunity to pinch his neck, and the other hand also touched the mountain fire, preparing to give him a head separation.

But Lu Jing didn't expect that thing's strength to be greater than he had imagined, and he actually broke free from his hands at the critical moment, and Lu Jing's sword also slashed off course, getting stuck in his shoulder blade.

Lu Jing cursed inwardly, watching helplessly as the figure slipped away from his hands.

The key was that slipping away was fine, but he also took away his two flying swords.
