The scar-faced monk told his two companions behind him.
"Don't worry, brother, it's not the first time we have done something."
When the scar-faced monk heard this, he nodded and said, "It's better to be careful. This is Lanzhou, not Lizhou."
"It's true that these two guys are so unlucky that they chose such a remote first-class cave to rent. If he lived in a second-class area, it would be really difficult for us brothers to do anything."
"Okay, everyone, please keep your voice down and use the breathing charm."
"yes, Sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three servant cultivators of the Zhang family, headed by the scar-faced monk, took a breath-containing charm on their bodies, and the auras of the three people suddenly became vague.
If Su Ming hadn't set up the formation in advance, and unless he used his spiritual sense to detect it at all times, these three people would have touched him in front of the cave.
From the familiar actions of these three people, it is not difficult to see that they are veterans who often do this kind of thing.
Looking at the two caves in front of him, one of the monks turned his head to look at the scar-faced monk and said, "Brother, which one should I kill first?"
"That little girl is only at the fourth level of Qi training, so there's nothing to worry about. Let's kill the one at the eighth level of Qi training first."
"Do it!"
Suddenly, the scar-faced monk shouted loudly, and the sneak attack turned into a violent attack.
In fact, it would be pointless to continue lurking once you get so close.
Unless the monk being attacked is a fool, there is no way he could be touched before his eyes and still not feel anything.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the scar-faced monk found that the entrance to the cave in front of him had disappeared, and thick fog rose around him.
"No, it's the formation!"
The scar-faced monk was shocked.
Logically speaking, magic weapons such as formation flags are very expensive and ordinary monks in the Qi training stage cannot afford them, let alone the second-level formation flags that Su Ming has laid out.
The formation's light curtain instantly enveloped the entire mountain.
In the thick fog, paper puppets were flying towards the three of them.
moment.
The three corpses were completely burned to ashes. Su Ming asked the paper puppets to dig a hole in the forest and bury all the ashes before taking the paper puppets back.
"The Zhang family's behavior is as domineering as ever."
Su Ming didn't believe that the other party didn't know how severe Lanzhou's crackdown on pirate cultivators was, but the Zhang family dared to attack Su Ming and the two of them on Xingluo Island.
It is estimated that the other party has also investigated clearly. Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai are not local monks in Lanzhou, and they have no basic background here. Even if they disappear, they will not attract the attention of Xingluo Island.
Recently, due to Dayuan Kingdom's invasion of Lizhou, a large number of monks from Lizhou have poured into Lanzhou, which has caused more chaos and fighting incidents.
How much trouble can it cause if one or two Lizhou monks with no basic background disappear?
After all, Su Ming has neither entered the Yaoyuan Taoist Academy nor is he a disciple of the Xianxia Sect. As long as he is not caught on the spot by the Xingluo Island monks, the Zhang family will naturally be unscrupulous when they take action.
Three days later.
The spirit ship that Yaoyuan Taoist Temple came to Xingluo Island to recruit people slowly docked at the port of Xingluo Island.
Every year, the days when the Yaoyuan Taoist Academy recruits disciples on the major fairy islands in the Yaoyuan Water Realm are the busiest times on the major fairy islands.
For every young monk, entering Yaoyuan Taoist Temple means that they will have the opportunity to reach heaven in one step.
If they can pass the examination of Xianxia Sect in the future, they will become outer disciples of Xianxia Sect.
Not to mention anything else, it is a certainty to get at least one Foundation Establishment Pill and become a Foundation Establishment Monk.
This is also the reason why countless casual cultivators are eager to join the Xianxia Sect.
Of course, although Yaoyuan Taoist Academy recruits many young monks every year, there are not many monks who can actually enter the Xianxia Sect.
The Xianxia Sect's philosophy in recruiting disciples has always been to prefer lack to excess.
They have the confidence to firmly control the entire Lanzhou territory.
Xingluo Island Port, in the giant square.
At this moment, the square is already crowded with people, and almost all the monks from Star Luo Island have gathered here.
Gong Xiaocai saw Yaoyuan Taoist Temple's giant spirit boat for the first time and said excitedly: "Brother Su Ming, is that the Yaoyuan Taoist Temple's spirit boat? It's so big!"
Su Ming looked in the direction of Gong Xiaocai's finger, nodded and said, "It's indeed majestic."
The hull of this giant spiritual boat from Yaoyuan Taoist Temple is at least ten times longer than the cargo ship Su Ming rode on before, and the deck is also seven or eight times wider.
The most important thing is that this spiritual boat relies on spiritual stones and formations to drive it, unlike the sailboat driven by mortals, which relies on sails for power.
On the giant spiritual boat.
One by one, the foundation-building monks stepped off the boat.
The leader was a late-stage foundation-building monk, and the person responsible for contacting him on Xingluo Island was also a late-stage foundation-building monk.
After a familiar conversation, the two officially started recruiting people.
The recruitment rules for Yaoyuan Taoist Academy are very clear. They must either have cultivated spiritual fields for the Xianxia Sect on Xingluo Island for more than five years, or they must pay a huge tuition fee of one thousand spiritual stones a year.
The recruiting channels are also clearly divided into two camps.
On one side are the monks from a humble family, and on the other side are the monks from a wealthy family.
But compared with family monks, the vast majority are casual cultivators with shabby financial status.
People like Su Ming, who were neither casual cultivators of modest means nor cultivators from a family, were relatively rare.
Of course, although it is rare, it is not impossible.
Some monks have talents in alchemy and weapon refining. Although they are not family monks, they have accumulated a lot of money and chose to pay huge tuition fees to enter Yaoyuan Taoist Academy.
Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai lined up in a relatively small team, and soon it was their turn.
The person responsible for registering the two of them was an early-stage foundation-building monk.
"Name."
"Su Ming."
"age."
"eighteen."
"Where is the person?"
"Lizhou Shangyang County."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the foundation-building monk raised his head, looked at Su Ming carefully, then lowered his head again, and continued to ask for Su Ming's information.
Because of Su Ming's identity, he inquired very carefully.
He almost asked about his previous personal situation in Qingshuifang City, Shangyang County.
Su Ming didn't hide anything and told everything truthfully.
Except for his raid on Zhangjia Fort the night before leaving, Su Ming had not done anything shameful.
Even if he attacked Zhangjiabao that night, to put it into detail, he was helping Qingshuifang City to fight against the lackeys of demon cultivators. Even if the Xianxia Sect knew about it, they would only be rewarded rather than criticized.
It's just that Su Ming felt that the "Shenting Rizhao Sutra" he got from the Zhang family was not trivial, so he simply hid this paragraph without any fuss.
a long time.
After registering Su Ming's information, the foundation-building monk nodded and said, "Registered, first pay one year's tuition."
Hearing this, Su Ming took out a storage bag, which contained a full two thousand spirit stones.
He cupped his hand and said, "The other half is paid for my sister."
Hearing this, the foundation-building monk took the storage bag, scanned it with his consciousness, then took out the spirit stone, returned the storage bag to Su Ming, and said, "Get aboard."
Then, he started asking for Gong Xiaocai's personal information.
After some inquiries, Gong Xiaocai boarded the ship smoothly.
Seeing this, Su Ming finally felt relieved.
Sure enough, the Xianxia Sect, just like outside rumors, is not only lenient to the local monks in Lanzhou, but also very tolerant to the monks from other states in Daqian.
This is also the reason why so many monks from other places come to Lanzhou Taoist Temple every year regardless of the long distance.
