The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

"Xi Uemura...Go east..." Hu Ling silently wrote down the route and began to make small calculations in his heart.

This Shuilian Cave is located on the outskirts of Daxu Mountain, and the vicinity happens to be an area where spirit beasts are sparsely distributed. The two were not attacked by spirit beasts, and the process of getting out of the mountain was very smooth.

After that, Lu Ping'an and Hu Ling walked hurriedly, about an hour later, they saw the crowd.

"Little Er, come to a pot of good tea, and if you have warm meals, bring them up too."

The two of them found a small tea stall on the side of the road and stopped. Seeing that there were no other guests nearby, Lu Ping'an didn't hesitate to sort out the various items he had picked up from the cave.

The atmosphere in that ditch was too permeable, and the light was very dim. Lu Pingan didn't take a closer look just now, but he put everything he could take away into a storage bag.

Upon inspection at this time, Lu Ping'an was pleasantly surprised to find that the cultivator who was knocked to death had a lot of fun.

One of the most worth mentioning is a scroll of spells. Although it has been soaked in river water for hundreds of years, the spells sealed inside have not disappeared.

According to the label on the front of the scroll and the seal pattern in the scroll, Lu Ping'an judged that what was sealed inside was a fixed body spell.

Different from Hu Ling's previous illusions, the fixed body spell is a kind of aura lock and cuffs generated by the technique to forcibly trap the opponent's actions. It is extremely practical in battle.

"Tsk tusk, good stuff!" Lu Ping'an shook his head and kept shaking his head, carefully put the scrolls away and put them back in the storage bag.

"By the way, Your Highness, where are you going next? I can only send..."

Lu Pingan was anxious to refine those spirit stones and was about to find an excuse to separate from Hu Ling. Who knows, as soon as he looked up, he suddenly found that Hu Ling who was sitting opposite was missing.

"Little Er, do you see the girl who came with me?"

Lu Pingan hurriedly got up, looked around, looking for the shadow of Hu Ling, and asked Xiao Erdao, the tea stall who was coming by with the teapot.

"This...this is what she asked me to transfer to you, oh yes, the food in our stall is so simple that it won't defeat my son's appetite."

After witnessing Hu Ling's mysterious body technique, the tea stall Xiao Er who disappeared in front of him in an instant, tremblingly handed a note to Lu Ping An, and then tiptoed back to the back hall to hide, for fear of blocking the other's eyes. , Was raised his hand to kill.

His small tea stall always entertained past caravan footmen. Who would have thought that a cultivator like Lu Ping'an would condescend to this place.

"Oh." Lu Ping'an took the folded note with a look of confusion, and opened it to see that there were two lines of small characters written on it in a neat and thin gold body, and the ink was not completely dry.

"I'm leaving first, you continue to be scared of your tattered babies. Also, remember that you are not allowed to call me your Royal Highness in the future, there will be a period later."

Seeing the content in the note, Lu Pingan smiled freely. Since Hu Ling left by himself, he doesn't need to worry.

The princess of the dignified Cangwu country must have a lot of magic weapons with him, and it must be no problem to escape. And a monster as weird and tricky as a statue of a wraith spirit, it is impossible to encounter a second one.

"Little Er, come out."

After drinking half a pot of crude Fuzhuan tea in one breath, Lu Pingan knocked on the corner of the table and greeted Xiao Erdao, a tea stall hiding in the back hall.

"Here, son, what do you have to order?" The tea stall Xiaoer ran to the table and asked diligently.

"The little master is not so hypocritical. Come with a bowl of rotten meat noodles and warm a pot of wine. Remember to be fast. Don't worry, you won't be short of money."

After Lu Ping'an said, the big money of nine words on the small wooden table set up, although not much, is enough to spend once in this small wilderness shop.

These copper coins were also picked up by the cultivator's bones. Although they have gone through a hundred years, fortunately, the coin styles of Cangwu Kingdom have not been changed, and they can still be used.

After a full meal and a short rest, Lu Ping'an set off again before the sun had set, and returned to the Daxu Mountain to continue practicing.

...

As night falls, the martial arts field in the suburbs.

This place has always been the place where the city guards of Wanqiu City and the guards of the city lord’s mansion practiced. However, two months before the start of the Wanqiu Grand Competition, this martial arts training ground had been vacated as a test site.

Under the auspices of the acting city lord Tian Sheng, the layout of the competition venue has not been affected by the death of the former city lord, and has been proceeding in an orderly manner.

Starting today, the repaired martial arts field is finally open to the outside world, and families can send people to check whether there is anything wrong with the test field and whether they have been manipulated.

After the news of the City Lord's Mansion was released, many young people who signed up for the competition came to the training ground one after another to adapt to the competition venue in advance.

However, most of these people are inadequate in their own strength, and some even shoulder the task of obtaining opponent intelligence for the family ace.

And like Chen Hao's winner, he has absolute confidence in his own strength, and he doesn't even bother to show up here.

In a narrow lounge beside the central square of the martial arts training ground, a dozen contestants were sitting around a fire candle and discussing something.

Probably the content of the discussion is more sensitive. There are two guards outside the lounge, and everyone in the room also wears masks that cover the truth. The atmosphere is mysterious and depressing, and the air is full of conspiracy.

"Hey, it's not early, what do you have to say, can you say it quickly?"

A tall Ye family contestant couldn't wait. He urged a man with a lion head mask to sit in the middle of the lounge.

"Yes, Shao Te, pretend to be a fool!"

"If you dare to play with us, see how Grandpa cleans up you."

...

Other people also agreed.

They are all contestants who came to visit the competition venue today. As a result, without exception, they were invited by this mysterious masked man, saying that they had important things to talk about the competition in the evening, and prepared for each of them A mask used to cover up identity.

"Ahem, then I'll start." The masked man gave a light cough, looked around at the crowd and asked, "Do you know why I invited you?"

Before everyone could reply, the masked man asked and answered, and said something that seemed irrelevant at first sight: "The preliminary test group of the Big Bi has come out. I think you have seen it? I don't want to target anyone, because it includes me. Including myself, everyone here is a foil and cannon fodder!"
