"Master, why?"

On the way to the inn, Lu Pingan and Wu Zichen asked the same question.

Even the things they want to ask are the same, nothing more than the identity of the old beggar and the relationship between the swordsmanship of the two parties.

In fact, Lu Pingan had already guessed that the old beggar was most likely a big figure in Yunjianmen.

But it could also be the elder of Jixia Academy, because Hall Master Zhou only called him senior, not the same sect.

In terms of the powers to which they belong, the Cloud Sword Gate is second only to Jixia Academy, so it is understandable that Hall Master Zhou quickly subdued.

But how to explain swordsmanship?

Could it be that……

Lu Ping'an had heard some rumors before, that there was a group of Yunjianmen monks who had betrayed the Menzong and joined Jixia Academy, including several elders.

Perhaps such a betrayal is not only because of profit, but also for many reasons, but after all, it is an ugly past, so the old beggar is reluctant to mention it?

However, looking at the old beggar's appearance, it is more likely that he is too lazy to explain so much.

"How can there be so many reasons? Are those things really important to you? You just need to understand that you are following me upright to learn swords. There is no such thing as stealing a master. This is enough."

The old beggar drank, and said in a vague voice.

"oh, I understand now."

Lu Ping'an smiled and stopped asking.

When he should know, everything will be revealed, and now he is thinking about it, just thinking about it.

What's more, no matter how high the status of the old beggar is, it will not change the facts for now.

What should Lu Pingan do or do, serve tea and pour water, no... it's things like serving wine and pouring wine, the same thing to do.

Of course, the most important thing is to learn swords.

Even the true disciple of Yunjian Sect became Lu Ping's defeat.

Then he was even more convinced of the swordsmanship taught by the old beggar, and he wanted to learn to the end.

At this point, Lu Pingan thought of Lu Qianqiu.

That guy was also a true disciple, and he was worshipped by the elders of Jixia Academy. I don't know what strength he is now?

"Lu Qianqiu, wait, I won't lose to you!"

The old beggar said: "What are you whispering?"

Lu Pingan came back to his senses and asked, "By the way, Master, where did you go before?"

The old beggar naturally said: "I went to find wine. There are a lot of aged monkey stuffed in the city lord's mansion. Compared with the fresh ones in the cave, it has a different taste. Well, what I drink now is..."

Lu Ping'an was speechless and thought to himself, what you called stealing, and to steal alcohol and drink, you left your apprentice aside.

Fortunately, judging from the results, this was not entirely a bad thing, and Lu Ping'an did not bother with the old beggar anymore.

"Then where are we going next?"

The old beggar said, "Let's stay in Qingshan City for a few days to see if those guys dare to mess around, then go to Tongning City."

Lu Pingan's eyes lit up and said, "It's the big city near the Tongtian Mountains on the border of Dongyu State?"

The Tongtian Mountain Range is one of the most famous mountain ranges in the Tianyuan Continent. The environment is extremely complex, with numerous monsters and dangers.

But for most practitioners, it is a holy place for adventurous experience.

This is especially true for Lu Pingan, who has a devouring system.

However, with his current cultivation level, he can only perform activities on the edge of the mountain range, and Tongning City is the most suitable place to stay.

Lu Ping'an didn't know what kind of exotic beasts were there. He waited for him to devour it. After thinking about it, he became excited and subconsciously swallowed saliva.

Rao is a man like an old beggar, and he can't help but frown when he sees this, and said, "Why are you kidnapped?"

Lu Ping'an said: "I just thought, there will be many opportunities for experience, and I am naturally happy. But having said that, why should we go there?"

The old beggar said, "Didn't you tell me? Experience."

"Really? Master, you really planned to go to Tongning City just to let me experience? Please look into my eyes and speak."

The old beggar and Lu Ping'an looked at each other for a few seconds before breaking their gong, and said helplessly, "Well, I'm going to kill someone as a teacher."

Lu Pingan thought that Tongning City had some good wine that would attract old beggars, but he did not expect it to be such a purpose.

The old beggar spoke in a calm manner, but Lu Pingan knew that this matter was definitely not simple.

Although with the strength of an old beggar, killing is as simple as cutting melons and vegetables.

But he said before that there are not many people worthy of his sword in this world.

And the people who are worth his special trip to kill are by no means the general generation.

Lu Pingan said, "Can I ask who it is?"

The old beggar said, "I said you don't know him either. Anyway, I'm not a good person. Why? Are you scared?"

Lu Pingan said: "I'm not afraid, I have already boarded the thief ship, I can only continue to follow you, I haven't finished learning Sword Eighteen."

"If you want to finish learning, then you have to stay with me forever."

Lu Pingan said triumphantly: "With my understanding, it will take so long?"

The old beggar attacked unceremoniously: "Don't think that you have achieved little results in the past two days, you can be proud and complacent, the next tricks will only get more and more, boy, your road is still long!"

The road to practice was far away, and Lu Ping'an had already prepared mentally, but he didn't care much about what the old beggar said.

But more than a year later, he will return to Cangwu Country to participate in the amphibious meeting to complete the agreement with Hu Ling.

Therefore, Lu Ping'an only hoped that the old beggar would not take himself too far, and that he would be troublesome if he couldn't make it back.

For the next three days, Lu Ping'an and the old beggar remained in Qingshan City, but they didn't show up, but quietly waited for changes in the city.

Lu Pingan didn't ask about the specific situation either. In short, Jia Wenbo retired from the seat of the city lord and was temporarily represented by the Tang family chief.

They are also trying to do things about monkey stuffing, but the initial progress is definitely not smooth. It is estimated that in the future, they will need to reach some cooperative relationship with the red-backed macaques before the situation will get better.

And this is not something that Lu Pingan and the old beggar can manage anymore. They have done so much. If the people of Qingshan City still can't protect the monkey brewing, it can only be said that it is the fate.

On the fourth day, the two people really left Qingshan City, which was full of unique aromas of wine, and headed towards Tongning City.

Last time in Qinglong Mountain, the old beggar scraped away the magic weapons in five storage bags and earned a lot of money.

This time out of the city, he reluctantly allocated a certain amount of money from the expenses of eating, drinking and playing, and spent "large sums" of money to buy a carriage.

Of course, it was Lu Pingan who drove the car, and the old beggar was only responsible for lying in it, drinking and sleeping.

On the way, they will occasionally pass through some small cities and towns, but more often they are boring and wild roads.

Lu Pingan was also very fortunate that it was such an environment. Otherwise, if he encountered a few prosperous large city-states, with the old beggar's drinking and enjoyment character, he would have to go in for a few months and spend the money before he would leave.

They were on the edge of the East Yu country. There were few monsters and beasts, but they were not completely absent. Sometimes they encountered some bandits and robbers who didn’t have long eyes. They came and went, let Lu Ping’an get some spirit stones and Spirit beast core.

Aside from being snatched away by the old beggar, Lu Ping'an had absorbed a part of it after all, and with the assistance of the Devouring System, he made his cultivation realm more advanced.

When he was about to arrive at Tongning City, Lu Pingan successfully broke through the second level of Zhenwu Realm and entered the third level of Zhenwu.

As for the devouring system and swordsmanship, due to lack of resources and strong enemies, there was little progress along the way and stagnant.

...

A few days later, Lu Pingan and the old beggar finally arrived at Tongning City.

Although there is a "city" in the place name, there is actually no decent wall here.

On the whole, Tongning City is not poor, and even a very rich city. The biggest reason for this is chaos.

It was a city in name that belonged to Dongyu State, but in fact, the power of the imperial court had no effect at all here. The city lord had no real power in his hands, so he couldn't even repair the city wall.

The various forces in the city are fighting in their own right, fighting openly and secretly, and there are cultivators who come from far and wide.

Things like fighting, killing, and hunting for treasure are commonplace here and are not uncommon.

For some people, Tongning City may be a more dangerous place than the Tongtian Mountain Range, and it is a dragon lake in another sense.

When he entered the city, Lu Pingan, who was acting as a coachman, asked, "Master, where is the person you are going to kill? When?"

The old beggar's lazy voice came from the carriage, "I don't know, I still have to look for it. If I don't find it, it may have to wait a while."

Lu Pingan said: "Then can I go to the edge of the Tongtian Mountain Range to experience it?"

The old beggar said, "Of course, don't die there."

Lu Ping'an looked up, and as far as his eyes could be, there were all kinds of buildings in Tongning City.

But he knew that far ahead was the Tongtian Mountain Range where countless monsters lived. The swallowing system in his body seemed to be hungry and thirsty.

After entering the city, the two found a place to stay.

The old beggar’s nature is hard to change, so he chose a luxurious inn and spends his money sparingly, specializing in the most expensive wine and food.

Had it not been for Lu Pingan's pull, he would have to go to those fireworks places again and lose his fortune.

And Lu Pingan also found that Tongning City’s various expenses are extremely expensive, and in some places it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a black shop.

This may also be due to the proximity to the Tongtian Mountains. Most of the practitioners who can come back alive are very rewarding, and they are extremely happy to spend money, so the merchants naturally increase their prices along the way.

A few days before he entered the city, Lu Ping'an was always understanding the situation and collecting all kinds of information.

The old beggar spends money as fast as ever. He still doesn't know what he is doing every day, and always leaves early and returns late.

Lu Ping'an guessed that he might be looking for the person to kill, but it seemed that there was no result yet.

Just like that, they quickly bottomed their pockets and were forced to move to a cheap inn.

At the same time, Lu Pingan has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of making money.

However, what made Lu Ping'an even more unexpected was that one morning, he actually saw an old beggar who was not like an old beggar.

The whole person's dressing has become a lot cleaner, although it still exudes alcohol.

Lu Pingan thought to himself, maybe this is the normal appearance of Master, not an old beggar, but Yan Laoba?
