Chapter 77: Weird news, another breakthrough! (Sixth update for Alliance Leader Vera!)
After robbing Qin Feng twice, Zhao Xing originally planned to continue strolling.

Unexpectedly, as the little mountain cat walked, he became hungry and wanted to eat the vine berries and white vanilla that he had eaten last time.

So Zhao Xing found this place and started growing two things that mountain cats loved to eat.

Since the previous straw man was left outside the temple and lost its effect due to the distance, he simply planted some more golden bamboos.

Even if you don't need to use it for fighting, you can use it to make some fast-moving straw men so you can move faster.

I thought I wouldn't have any "good luck" for a while.

Unexpectedly, when luck comes, it can’t be stopped.

I was farming in this remote mountain area, and I actually ran into Wen Zhao and Zhang Boran!

The two of them had no idea what they had been going through, and they didn't even realize that this bamboo forest was planted by someone on purpose.

He didn't even notice the straw men lying in ambush on both sides.

"What's on Zhang Boran's body?" Zhao Xing's eyes fell on the other's arms. It was bulging and he knew it was good stuff.

What made Zhao Xing even more excited was the earthen jar.

It is very attractive, much stronger than the average mid-grade Lingxiu!

"Little bobcat, stop eating, the fun is about to begin!"

Zhao Xing waved at the mountain cat that was eating fruit.

"Meow~" The mountain cat was a little unhappy because he was not full yet.

"Go quickly, those two people have some delicious food on them, you will definitely like it!" Zhao Xing urged.

"Meow!" When the bobcat heard about something delicious, its big eyes suddenly lit up.

With a kick of his hind legs, he immediately jumped onto the golden bamboo, and then with a few leaps, he rushed out of the bamboo forest.

"Boran, what you found this time..." Wen Zhao was just about to ask Zhang Boran what good thing he found, so he even lost the knife.

But before he could finish his words, Zhang Boran suddenly flew into the air and bent into a bow in mid-air.

"Bang!" When the sound was heard, Zhang Boran couldn't help but fly backwards.

The golden chestnuts in his arms scattered all over the ground, and the earthen jar also fell to the ground.

Zhang Boran fainted without saying a word.

The little mountain cat was an entry-level exotic beast, and had devoured countless spiritual energy. Even an entry-level warrior would not be able to withstand this collision.

What's more, Zhang Boran is only at the eighth level.

He just lay down on the ground.

"What?!" Wen Zhao was stunned. He didn't know what was going on. He subconsciously picked up the earthen jar and planned to run away.

However, at this moment, a small and cute cat appeared in the field of vision.

"Ha~" The mountain cat roared softly, bent its back and crouched, locking its eyes on Wen Zhao.

"Old man, put Lingxiu down quickly, or you will be in big trouble!"

A teasing voice came from behind.

Wen Zhao was stunned. Isn't this my lyrics?
He turned over and saw Zhao Xing coming out of the bamboo forest.

"Zhao Xing?!"

Wen Zhao recalled the scene when Zhao Xing went to the Temple of Heaven Square yesterday.

This is what he said to Zhao Xing at that time.

I never thought that things would change.

Now it was Zhao Xing's turn to say this to him.

"Why, you're still reluctant to let it go?" Zhao Xing looked at Wen Zhao calmly, "Have you become stupid from studying?"

Wen Zhao looked at the mountain cat, then at Zhao Xing, took a deep breath, and picked up a thorny branch from the ground.

Then he bent his waist and slowly came in front of Zhao Xing.

"Mr. Zhao, I am deeply sorry for offending you yesterday. Please whip me to ease my anger." Wen Zhao bowed, his voice extremely sincere.

It was as if he was confessing, and people couldn't help but feel that he really admitted his mistake.

This guy is worthy of being called Li Xiu. He even tried to apologize by carrying a thorn stick on his back.

"Apology?" Zhao Xing mocked. "You know a lot. Apart from the Peace Ceremony and the Fire Ceremony, I didn't expect that your apology is also quite powerful. Do you think I will be fooled by you? How powerful is your 'apology' compared to the underground wind?"

Wen Zhao's eyes froze. He didn't expect that his trick could be seen through so easily.

Just as he was about to say something else, Zhao Xing suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the thorny branch in his hand, and hit the old man hard on the back.

"I will grant your wish!"

"Snap!" A burning pain came from the back, and Wen Zhao took a breath.

But his spell was broken, and with the mountain cat watching him, he had no power to fight back and could only allow Zhao Xing to whip him.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

The bramble twig cut through the air, whipping Wen Zhao five times in quick succession, causing him to fall to the ground in pain.

"If you burn three of my straw men, I will whip you six times!"

"Why, why not three times?" Wen Zhao asked weakly.

"Because I will never let go of a grudge, and I will repay it double." Zhao Xing broke Wen Zhao's "apology" and stepped on his head. "According to the apology method you practiced, you should say thank you now, otherwise you will lose a level of etiquette."

"Mmmmm~" Wen Zhao, who was trampled into the mud, was unable to say a word because his head was stepped on hard and his mouth was full of mud.

With bright eyes, the golden light on Wen Zhao's body became weaker and weaker, while the red light became stronger and stronger.

This was the "ritual" for him not completing his own cultivation.

The method of apology was launched, but it failed to get positive feedback, but instead became negative.

"Oh!"

Zhao Xing stepped hard and broke the golden light on Wen Zhao's body.

The red light engulfed Wen Zhao's entire body. The spell backfired on him, and he twitched in the mud before passing out.

If his method of apology was originally at the fifth level, now it is only at the fourth level.

"I hate you ritual masters the most. You don't do anything productive and are such an eyesore!" Zhao Xing kicked him in the abdomen and kicked Wen Zhao away.

Poor Wen Zhao, he had just recovered not long ago when he was beaten up again and became injured.

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and turned away.

His expression was somewhat frozen.

In just a short while, the little mountain cat had almost eaten all the golden chestnuts that had fallen on the ground.

"Crunch, crunch~" It tastes so crispy and delicious as you bite it in your mouth.

"You have such a good appetite." Zhao Xing said helplessly.

"Meow~" The mountain cat raised its paw and pushed the last pill over.

"Oh, you are so polite. Just eat until you are full. Why did you leave one for me?"

"Meow?" The little bobcat tilted its head, as if asking.

You really don't want to eat?

"I'm just kidding, eat eat eat."

Zhao Xing quickly picked up the golden chestnut, blew off the dirt, then peeled off the shell and threw it into his mouth.

The crunchy chestnuts provided Zhao Xing with 500 points of energy.

One step closer to the eighth level of Ju Yuan.

The effect is quite good, improving the progress by one twentieth.

But it didn't have much effect on the Bobcats.

After eating so much, Zhao Xing didn't feel any major changes in the mountain cat's aura.

"Boom~"

Zhao Xing picked up the earthen jar and opened it by sealing the top layer of mud.

The little bobcat's nose twitched and its pupils suddenly dilated.

A strong aroma of wine wafted over, and Zhao Xing immediately felt that his vitality had become much more active.

"Monkey wine?" Zhao Xing's eyes lit up. This is good stuff.

With the fruit wine brewed by Lingxiu, this jar must have cost thousands of golden chestnuts!
He just took a whiff and his vitality increased by 20 points!
Before Zhao Xing could do anything, he saw the mountain cat almost teleport to the side of the jar and plunge its little head into it.

"Hey, kitties can't drink alcohol. They'll get drunk."

"Fuck, leave some for me..."

This thing was very attractive to the mountain cat, and it absorbed half of it in the blink of an eye.

However, when it heard Zhao Xing's words, it gave way and motioned Zhao Xing to lie down and drink together.

After a while.

"Burp~" Both the man and the cat burped.

The bobcat shook its head and lay on the ground licking its paws.

Zhao Xing also sat on the ground, cross-legged and practicing his skills.

He was not like a mountain cat, who could drink so much, and he had to stop after drinking only a small portion.

But even this small part is enough for Zhao Xing to break through!

Half an hour later.

Zhao Xing opened his eyes, and the blush on his face faded a lot.

Looked at the panel.

[Ju Yuan Level 7245: 10000/]

"That's amazing! Not only has he reached the eighth level of Ju Yuan directly, but the progress has also reached 70%!" Zhao Xing let out a long sigh.

He used the Five Elements to examine the little bobcat.

I found that the other party's aura had also increased slightly.

"You are such a big eater. If you weren't following Si Nong, other families might not be able to feed you." Zhao Xing touched the mountain cat's head.

Raising an exotic beast, especially a high-quality one, is very costly.

It was because Zhao Xing was so confident that he dared to raise a mountain cat before he even reached the level of a qualified resident.

After waiting for an hour, the Vajra Bamboo matured. Zhao Xing spent time making twenty powerful Vajra and ten magical straw men.

All of them are of second-grade superior quality.

The rest are some scout dolls made of ordinary rattan branches and leaves.

"Get up the sedan!"

Zhao Xing waved his hand and continued wandering on the mountain.

…………

On the third day of climbing Lingshan Mountain, many interesting things happened.

Someone found a powerful pure Yuan Lingxiu in the cave and directly jumped over three steps to reach the ninth level of Ju Yuan.

Someone got hold of an orchid and gained some insights from the petals. His body movements reached the highest level and he instantly became a top-tier expert.

Some people have encountered top-quality spiritual beauty, but were unable to collect it, as if they had encountered a "ghost wall", wandering back and forth, with a strong sense of it, but not knowing the exact location.

There are also rumors that certain areas of Donghu Mountain are not accessible to officials because they are guarded by extremely terrifying beasts. They are full of treasures created by nature, but they will not be open until three days later.

Some people burn incense to pray for spiritual enlightenment at the same location, and get beaten to a bloody pulp, or even die from it.

Some people felt that there was no hope of competing for the incense on the third night, so they went down the mountain directly.

At night, everyone came to the Temple of Heaven Square, a safe area, and began to talk about what they had seen and heard during the day.

Among these topics that people talked about with great interest, many people mentioned a strange thing.

"Have you heard? A strange beast appeared on the mountain. It's very scary."

"You mean the cat? Of course I've heard of it! It's said to be the cat raised by the mountain god."

"There are many exotic animals in the mountains. What's so strange about a mountain cat?" someone said disdainfully.

"If it were just that, it would be fine, but this mountain cat specializes in robbing others of their talents."

"Many experts have been robbed by that cat. It is said that Wen Zhao and Zhang Boran were robbed by that cat."

"Ah? How strong is this mountain cat?"

"Although he is still young, he already has the strength to enter the rank."

"It's even weirder. This mountain cat won't kill people, but if you don't say thank you to it after being robbed, it won't let you go. It's really weird."

"..."

Du Jiaojiao, Liu Muqing, and Lu Qian were resting in a corner of the square. When they heard such strange rumors, they couldn't help but start chatting.

Lu Qian sneered, "These people must be crazy to spread such outrageous things. Say thank you and the mountain cat will let it go? This is nonsense!"

Liu Muqing said: "Perhaps the pressure of climbing the mountain is too great, and someone may have hallucinations."

Du Jiaojiao was wiping her silver spear nearby, and suddenly said, "Maybe someone is keeping that mountain cat."

Lu Qian was surprised and asked, "What does Sister Jiao mean?"

Du Jiaojiao said slowly: "Today when we were collecting spiritual treasures halfway up the mountain, we felt the presence of a mountain cat from a distance."

"There was a human presence next to it, very close, and it seemed to have been observing us for a while."

"What?" Lu Qian asked in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"

"Who can tame the mountain cat?" Liu Muqing asked, "Could it be Yang Junxiong?"

"If that's the case, then we're in trouble." Lu Qian frowned and said, "I'm afraid he'll be the first to burn incense again tonight."

"It shouldn't be him." Du Jiaojiao thought, "It doesn't seem like it."

"No matter who it is, if it's true as Sister Jiao said, this person will definitely show up tonight."

Halfway up the mountain, Zhao Xing was carried by a straw man and slowly went up the mountain.

He used his sharp eyes to look around and saw people climbing the mountain from different directions.

"Tonight is the last chance, and it will also be the most lively night."

Meow~ The bobcat pricked up its ears, as if it had triggered the keyword.

"Hey, Mr. Cat, be quiet." Zhao Xing grabbed its tail. The mountain cat wanted to rush out and beat someone up again.

The silly cat loves to join in the fun. It has amazing physical strength and is even harder to walk around with than a dog!

"We have to go up the mountain now. We can't waste time." Zhao Xing explained, "Don't worry, it's more lively on the mountain. You will have a lot of fun."

The mountain cat obediently lay back in Zhao Xing's arms.

This time we went up the mountain, it was very safe.

No one dared to provoke Zhao Xing along the way.

Because he became famous on the second night, although Zhao Xing did not introduce himself, how could Young Master Zong resist bragging?
In just one day, he not only made a name for himself, but also promoted Zhao Xing.

Even if he can't remember it after coming down the mountain, Young Master Zong has to pretend to be cool in these two days!
In addition to fame.

Zhao Xing's current cultivation level is also very different from yesterday.

After plundering the opportunities of many officials, he has reached the ninth level of Juyuan!

Relying on the Bobcats to snowball, they almost pushed forward all the way.

In order to carry out the robbery more effectively, Zhao Xing did not show up himself later and let Uncle Mao do all the work.

"Zhao Xing, this way!"

As soon as I entered the Temple of Heaven Square on the top of the mountain, I saw Zong Shichang waving at me.

There were also a few familiar-looking people in the square.

Such as Wen Nanxing, Xiao Ze, and Li Chengfeng.

The few of them hadn't met each other for the past two days, but they had made a lot of progress. Wen Nanxing and Xiao Ze had already reached the seventh level of Ju Yuan.

Li Chengfeng gained something on the first night. Although he did not show up the next day, today it was discovered that he had reached the ninth level of Ju Yuan!
Whether it is Yuan Fa Ling Xiu or Shou Yuan Ling Xiu, most of the time they can enhance vitality, and longevity only accounts for a small proportion, which is not surprising.

In Zhao Xing's opinion, most of the lucky people in the square, although their realm has improved, are all "fat".

If the magic cannot keep up, all the cultivation is useless.

What puzzled Zhao Xing was that Li Chengfeng was not with Zong Shichang. The two of them had gathered a group of people each, as if some conflict had occurred and their relationship was not as close as before.

"Zhao Sanjia."

"It's Zhao Xing who's here."

"Brother Zhao is mighty, Huailiuyuan is mighty!"

When entering the square, many people greeted Zhao Xing, mainly because Zhao Xing had made a big splash yesterday.

He defeated Cao Qiushui in the fight for the first incense stick! He is the descendant of the True Lord!
"Okay, okay, hello everyone." Zhao Xing couldn't keep putting on airs when he arrived at a crowded place, so he jumped down from the Bobcat carrying chair.

"Hey, where did you pick up this kitten? It's so cute." When Zong Shichang saw the bobcat, he immediately wanted to touch it.

"Young master, be careful!" Uncle Cang and Uncle Hu's faces changed drastically and they immediately stopped Zong Shichang.

Yuan Bo also had a solemn expression, as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

"Ha~" Zong Shichang felt like he was being stared at by the wild beast. Looking into the mountain cat's eyes, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat and his legs went weak.

Fortunately, someone supported me, otherwise I would have collapsed.

"Brother, say thank you to it quickly." Zhao Xing said.

"Ah? Oh, thank you." Although Zong Shichang didn't know why, he hurriedly did as he was told.

Seeing this, the mountain cat stopped breathing and shrank back into Zhao Xing's arms.

"This, this is a mountain cat? Are you the owner of the mountain cat?" Zong Shichang wiped his sweat.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

"No, what's wrong with your cat? Why do I have to say thank you to it?" When Zong Shichang heard that Zhao Xing was the owner of the mountain cat, he was not so scared anymore. Thinking of the strange rumors he had heard before, he suddenly became curious.

Zhao Xing said helplessly: "It's a long story. Anyway, after I took it to fight a few times, it developed this habit. You know cats always have strange temperaments, and it's hard for me to correct them."

Zong Shichang deeply agreed with this. He loved playing with cats and walking dogs the most. He knew that cats were difficult to please and sometimes it was hard to tell who was the owner.

After chatting for a while, Young Master Zong was more interested in eating than being beaten, and wanted to pet the cat: "Will you let me have this mountain cat? I'll give it to you no matter how much money you offer!"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Brother, a gentleman does not take away what others like."

When it comes to gentlemen, Zong Shichang seems to have thought of something, and his face is a little unhappy: "What a bullshit gentleman, I don't want it. Well, if you don't want to sell it, you can bring it to my house more often in the future."

"No problem." Zhao Xing agreed casually and glanced at the square: "What's the situation now?"

Zong Shichang knew that he was asking for information, and immediately said, "There has been a new change in the entry-level strongmen. I don't know what opportunity that Gu Feng got. With just the eighth incense stick, he actually jumped from the eighth level of Juyuan to the entry-level realm."

"In addition, the number of Ju Yuan ninth level has also increased a lot. For example, there are seven Ju Yuan ninth level gathered next to Cao Qiu Shui."

"In addition, Lu Qian and Miss Liu beside Du Jiaojiao have also reached the ninth level of Ju Yuan."

"I broke through to the seventh level of Ju Yuan, and Uncle Cang and Uncle Hu reached the ninth level of Ju Yuan."

"But among the first ten incense sticks, there are also some who are not doing well. Zhang Boran and Wen Zhao were seriously injured for some reason."

"One of Hu Yang's mechanical beasts is missing, so it seems that there is no gain."

"Yuan Bo said that Yang Junxiong's aura doesn't seem to have changed much, and I don't know how he got this top fragrance."

Zong Shichang pointed at the people in the square, as if he knew every single one of them well: "Generally speaking, the number of officials has decreased, some have gone down the mountain, some have died or been injured, but the number of people at a higher level has increased. This is because the first fifty incense sticks all had a certain effect."

"Tonight is the last night for the officials to stay. Everyone must leave the mountain before noon tomorrow, so no one wants to miss this last chance. The competition will be even more intense tonight... By the way, Zhao Sanjia, why are Zhang Boran and Wen Zhao looking at you?"
