Darkness enveloped the entire Black Mountain City. It was late at night.
Shen Tian sat cross-legged and spread Spirit Stones on the bed as if they were free.
The soldier beside him looked at him in a daze, his eyes filled with envy and yearning.
When can I also squander Spirit Qi like this to cultivate!? He did not even dare to dream about it.
Although hundreds and thousands of Spirit Stones were like pocket money to a true disciple of a sacred ground, it was already a huge sum of money.
But to most of the disciples, this was already a huge fortune.
After all, in the mortal world, one Spirit Stone could be exchanged for 1,000 taels of silver.
Those who could spend Spirit Stones without any pressure were all super rich!
As for people like the soldier who were born in ordinary families, they had to save every Spirit Stone.
This soldier was a captain in the Black Mountain army and was already in the middle of the army.
Even so, his monthly salary was only half a Spirit Stone, which was 500 taels of silver.
If the Black Mountain army could go out of the city to hunt, they might be able to earn some extra money.
But now, there were Blood Demon Mosquito Spirits causing trouble in the city from time to time, and everyone was in a state of panic.
The Black Mountain army could only be on alert and guard the city every day.
If the Spirit Stones that Shen Tian used to cultivate at night were converted into the soldier's salary...
It was probably comparable to his savings for hundreds of years in Black Mountain City without eating or drinking!
It had to be said that one round of cultivation by a rich man was equivalent to the lifetime savings of a poor man. It was the same in any world.
When the last great Qi cycle was completed, the Spirit Stones beside Shen Tian all lost their luster.
Shen Tian let out a breath. The energy he had expended on the journey had finally recovered.
He looked at the soldier and asked, "Young man, what's your name?"
The burly man said carefully, "My surname is Zeng, and my name is Biao."
Zeng Biao?
Shen Tian was deep in thought. A mere Third Firmament of Qi Refinement dares to stop me, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He is quite brave.
Shen Tian took out a red saber from his Archeon Sea Ring. "This is an inferior-grade Dharma saber.
I will ask you some questions. If you answer them well, the saber is yours. "
Shen Tian had picked up this low-grade magic saber from the ground during the chaos in Fog City.
Shen Tian had a lot of spirit artifacts on him. He even had a full set of sacred artifacts. To be honest, he had no use for these Dharma artifacts.
But for Ceng Biao, a low-grade magic saber was worth at least a few hundred spirit stones.
Based on his income, it would take him decades of not eating or drinking to afford it.
Moreover, a low-grade magic tool was just right for him to unleash its power.
As for the more powerful mid-grade and high-grade artifacts, he couldn't really control them.
On the contrary, it was easy to get into trouble because of a treasure. It would attract the covetous eyes of some powerful cultivators, and he might suffer a calamity.
As long as he could obtain this low-grade magic tool, Ceng Biao's strength would increase by at least 50%, and he would be reborn.
In the future, it would be safer for him to go hunting, and his ability to protect himself would increase many times.
Thinking of this, Ceng Biao hurriedly said, "Senior, please ask away. I will tell you everything I know!"
Shen Tian nodded in satisfaction. "Tell me everything you know about the mosquito spirit."
He had already confirmed the time and location in the Big Dipper Saint's fortuitous opportunity image.
But with the lesson from the Fog Plain, Shen Tian still felt that it wasn't safe enough.
Thus, he had to know everything about this mosquito demon, like the back of his hand!
So simple? Ceng Biao was overjoyed. Isn't this equivalent to giving away a treasure?
As expected, I kept praising Senior Celestial for being handsome, and Senior Celestial was happy.
I knew it! A handsome Senior Celestial would definitely be generous and forthright!
Ceng Biao was extremely glad that he had stopped Shen Tian earlier as he started to introduce the mosquito spirit.
...
From Ceng Biao, Shen Tian found out that this mosquito spirit had suddenly appeared in recent months.
At first, it only attacked the cattle and sheep farms outside Black Mountain City to suck their blood.
Also, its cultivation level wasn't very strong, only around the Qi Refinement stage.
Black Mountain City sent some Qi Refinement elite warriors to hunt it down.
They thought they could easily deal with this monster.
They didn't expect that the mosquito spirit's methods would be so powerful that it killed all the warriors.
After killing all the warriors, the mosquito spirit disappeared strangely as if it had directly left the vicinity of Black Mountain City.
However, two months later, it appeared again. This time, it directly appeared in Black Mountain City.
This mosquito spirit's strength had already reached the 9th Firmament of Qi Refinement.
It could suck an adult dry in an instant.
It massacred wantonly in the city and crazily sucked the blood of the people.
As a result, the mosquito spirit's strength broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.
In that battle, several Foundation Establishment cultivators were sucked dry of their blood and turned into dried corpses.
During the Jindan Period, the Old City Lord of Black Mountain City came out of seclusion. In the end, he could only injure it and escape.
He thought that this mosquito spirit wouldn't come again after being injured, but he didn't expect that only two months had passed.
This mosquito spirit appeared again, and its cultivation level was already half a step into the Core Formation stage.
In that battle, the Old City Lord, who had reached the Core Formation stage for hundreds of years, was actually no match for this mosquito spirit.
He was suppressed by this mosquito spirit and almost had his blood sucked dry. He had to self-destruct all his Dharma artifacts to defeat it.
Due to his heavy injuries, the Old City Lord died a few days later, and there were no more Golden Core experts in the city.
Facing the mosquito spirit that could make a comeback at any time, everyone was panicking.
Therefore, they sent people to Big Dipper City overnight to seek protection.
Black Mountain City was Big Dipper City's vassal and had to provide a large amount of taxes every year.
However, if Black Mountain City was in danger, Big Dipper City would also protect it.
Therefore, although most people in Black Mountain City were afraid of the mosquito spirit, they weren't particularly worried.
After all, every time the mosquito spirit left, it would only return after two months, so there was still plenty of time.
As long as Big Dipper City's Master Immortal arrived, he would naturally be able to subdue this evil creature!
However, Shen Tian knew that everyone in Black Mountain City had been deceived.
This red-winged black mosquito was not as simple as they thought.
Also, the next time it appeared would not be two months later but before tomorrow morning!
This was because Big Dipper's Saint would arrive before tomorrow morning.
When he arrived, the entire Black Mountain City had already become a dead city, and there were basically no survivors.
In other words, the mosquito spirit had already completed its sneak attack and massacre before dawn!
...
After listening to all the information about the red-winged black mosquito that Ceng Biao knew, Shen Tian had a rough idea.
He nodded and casually threw that inferior-grade Dharma saber to Ceng Biao.
At the same time, Shen Tian injected his divine consciousness into Ceng Biao's body.
That was a saber technique that Shen Tian had learned when he was in the Taiyan Kingdom.
Naturally, it couldn't be compared to the inheritance of a sacred ground or grotto-heaven, but it was considered a good cultivation technique.
Although the 13th Prince had suffered a Qi Deviation after cultivating it, that was a problem of providence and had nothing to do with this saber technique.
Ceng Biao looked burly, but he had a kind nature. Most importantly, he knew how to appreciate beauty.
After Shen Tian calmed down, he felt that he should reward this fellow.
Ceng Biao was naturally very grateful to Shen Tian. After all, this inheritance was much stronger than his cultivation technique!
If he switched to this cultivation technique, Ceng Biao's future achievements would definitely double. This was a great fortuitous encounter!
Shen Tian accepted Ceng Biao's gratitude generously and told him to go back and cultivate in peace.
Meanwhile, he continued to meditate and adjust his state to the most suitable state for battle.
This was because Shen Tian knew that the enemy could arrive at the battlefield at any time!
He had to maintain his peak state at all times.
...
The night was getting darker.
The stars twinkled, and it was very beautiful.
Most of the people in Black Mountain City were already asleep.
However, in the City Lord's Residence, Shen Tian suddenly opened his eyes.
A golden bolt of lightning shot into the sky and exploded in the sky above Black Mountain City.
The sound of thunder echoed throughout the entire Black Mountain City, waking up countless people from their dreams.
One by one, the Foundation Establishment cultivators rushed to Shen Tian's room and carefully asked him what was going on.
Shen Tian took a deep breath and moved out like a dragon.
He stood proudly on the city wall and looked at the sky in the distance.
There was a huge swarm of Blood Mosquitoes there...
They were covering the sky and covering the earth!
