At Qi Mountain.

In the mountain that had just been washed by the heavy rain, the scent of rain is hidden in the air. Anyone who smelled it would feel physically and mentally pleasant as if the fresh air had washed over their entire body.

However, as Luo Xiu stepped into this area, his expression became slightly more solemn.

He raised his head and looked forward. The towering Qi Mountain was supposed to be grandiose and majestic. However, at this moment, in the sky above the mountain, thick dark clouds were hanging over tightly.

It was extremely gloomy and overbearing. Something was wrong here!

With a thought, a yellow talisman appeared between Luo Xiu’s right index finger and middle finger.

On the talisman, there were five big red words written in bold and unruly characters.

Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman!

Looking at the talisman in his hand, Luo Xiu’s eyes were full of solemnity.

Initially, he did not plan on using this external force at all. But now, it seemed he might have to use it after all.

With Luo Xiu’s cultivation, the power of this Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman was like a child’s play to him.

However, the spiritual energy in this world was too thin.

Once Luo Xiu used a powerful cultivation technique, the spiritual energy in the entire world would be sucked dry in an instant.

This caused Luo Xiu not to be able to use too much spiritual energy unless it was absolutely necessary.

As for the clone cultivation technique that he used in the shop previously, because the clone itself did not have much combat strength, the spiritual energy needed was not much, almost negligible.

However, it was not as easy for Luo Xiu to use a more powerful technique. It was not that he did not know how to do it, but he just could not.

He needed to save the spiritual energy for those ordinary people who would start practicing the technique in the future, like Zhang Youwei…

“I wonder how Zhang Youwei is doing with his cultivation now…”

“Forget it. My encounter with him has come to an end. The rest will depend on his fate. Now, I better pay attention to the matter at hand.”

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu walked forward and stepped on the winding and steep mountain path.

This Qi Mountain was 6,500 meters high. If an ordinary person climbed it without stopping, they would definitely be out of breath. Sometimes there might even be a high-altitude reaction, showing symptoms of hypoxia.

However, Luo Xiu climbed to the top of the mountain without any discomfort.

Although his body was not unwell, Luo Xiu’s expression became more and more serious as he climbed.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Luo Xiu’s expression was extremely serious.

This was because the demonic energy on the Qi Mountain was ready to come to a peak. At any time, there might be monsters and demons that would invade the world!

If he didn’t think of a way to suppress this demonic energy in seven days, there would definitely be a large number of demons wantonly committing murder here!

Luo Xiu looked at the five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman in his hand.

This talisman could activate the Nine Heavens Dark Thunder and destroy all demons.

However, the spiritual energy required was also enormous.

If he rashly used the Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman now, one-third of the spiritual energy in this world would immediately be drained.

This would have a massive impact on Luo Xiu’s plan to let the people of this world try cultivating immortality.

Once he used the Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman, Luo Xiu’s plan could be said to be completely ruined.

Looking up at the dark clouds in the sky again, Luo Xiu muttered to himself, “Seven days… There’s still time.”

…

Stepping on the mountain path on the other side, Luo Xiu walked all the way to the foot of the mountain.

The path up the mountain just now was the sunny side of the mountain, which was also the south side. As far as the eye could see, the trees on the mountain were much more luxuriant and lush.

However, the trees on the north side of the mountain were obviously not as thriving as those on the south side.

Following the mountain path all the way down, Luo Xiu arrived at the foot of the mountain.

His brows furrowed slightly again.

In front of him was a small village. At first glance, this village only had a population of 200 to 300 people at most.

Both Luo City in the southeast direction of Qi Mountain and Yang City in the northwest direction of Qi Mountain would have been a little further away.

As such, it seemed that this village did not belong to Yang City or Luo City. It was just an independent small village.

Perhaps the villagers had lived here for generations. But it was also because of this that Luo Xiu felt a bit uneasy.

A disaster would occur here within seven days. If these villagers did not evacuate quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Luo Xiu pondered for a moment, then put away the Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman in his hand. He slowly moved forward and walked toward the village.

When he reached the village entrance, he could see a few children playing some games. After some laughter, the children scattered in all directions as if they were looking for a place to hide.

Meanwhile, a six or seven-year-old girl with a ponytail covered her eyes as she stood in front of a big tree and started counting.

“96, 97, 98, 99… 100! I’m coming to find you!”

The little girl turned around with a smile and was about to look for her other companions.

However, she bumped into someone. It was Luo Xiu, who had just come to question her.

“Ouch.”

The little girl was caught off guard. She felt as if she had bumped into a wall, and she almost fell to the ground.

Luo Xiu was quick-witted and immediately reached out to catch the little girl. Then he asked, “Where are the adults in the village?”

The little girl still had some lingering fear because she almost fell down just now. Facing the stranger who asked her a question, she was obviously a little nervous and said, “The adults have gone to do farm work. Brother, are you a foreigner?”

If a normal adult saw Luo Xiu, he would definitely feel that this person was not easy to deal with at first glance.

This was because Luo Xiu looked too cold. He was so cold that it was as if he did not care about anything.

However, the children did not think so. They were inexperienced and did not have much life experience.

They could only make judgments based on their instincts.

And their instincts told them that Luo Xiu was not a bad person.

At this moment, the other children hiding all around also came out and surrounded them curiously.

“Niu Niu, why haven’t you come to find us yet?”

“We’ve been hiding for so long.”

“Who’s this big brother?”

“Big brother, do you know Niu Niu?”

When Niu Niu heard this, she didn’t know how to answer.

She initially wanted to continue playing games with her friends, but at this moment, she was questioned by this big brother who she didn’t know, so she was interrupted.

Luo Xiu looked at these innocent-looking children and revealed a faint smile, “Big brother doesn’t know Niu Niu. Big brother is here to look for the adults in the village. When will your parents come back?”

All of a sudden, the children looked at each other and then answered in unison, “Dad and mom will only come back in winter.”

“Yeah, they’re all working in the city to earn money.”

“Grandpa and Grandma are working in the fields, and they’ll only come back in the afternoon.”

“Big brother, are you hungry? Do you want to come to our house? We still have steamed buns at home!”

“Come to our house. We have two steamed buns at home!”

For some reason, these children suddenly started arguing, as if they all wanted this big brother, who they had never met before, to be a guest at their house.

Luo Xiu shook his head and said, “There’s no need to visit. I still have things to do. When the adults return, you must remember to tell them something.”

“What is it?” Niu Niu, the little girl with the braids, blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

“Just say that Qi Mountain is not very safe for the next few days. Tell them to leave quickly for a period of time.”

Niu Niu’s face was full of doubt, but she still tried her best to remember this sentence, “Qi Mountain is not safe. We have to leave for some time.”

Luo Xiu smiled and nodded, then turned around and left. He had to hurry back and prepare for the next action.

He had to use the Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman before Qi Mountain’s demons revived and triggered the heavenly lightning!

However, suppose he wanted to use the Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman to subdue the demons without using too much of this world’s spiritual energy. In that case, he could only first gather the spirit for the Five Thunder Fiend Suppression Talisman!

There was no other way!
