Chapter 153 Ten years later (make up for yesterday)
There are no armors in the mountains, and there are no years of practice.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
In the seventeenth year of Yongtai, the fourteenth day of the first lunar month coincided with the twice-annual grand fair in Qingniufang City.
On Qingniu Mountain, the market is now more prosperous.
The fog circle that once prevented mortals from entering by mistake was removed at some point, because the practice has become more widely known with the appearance of more and more cultivators.
More and more mortals are beginning to search for immortality all over the mountains and plains, and this has caused countless tragedies and comedies in the world.
Qingniufang City is so brightly visible to others.
Today's Qingniufang City is divided into two districts: inner and outer districts.
The inner area is still shrouded by the formation, and you need to buy a ticket to enter.
The outer area is well connected in all directions, with a mixture of immortals and mortals. As long as you pay enough rent to the market, you can get a shop or a stall to do some small business.
Some people had a wonderful encounter here and soared into the sky.
Some people also squandered their wealth here and finally left lonely.
There are even more crimes involving carrying a jade, which can lead to death.
Although under the order of a certain second-fang master, Qingniufang City is a no-fighting zone within a fifty-mile radius, but he has no control over fifty miles away.
If you control things too leniently, you can easily become a public enemy.
On this day, two young men and women came to Qingniufang City.
"Brother Zhu, is this Qingniufang City? It's really lively."
The woman has a delicate appearance and a good figure. She looks at the sky where magic weapons, birds and beasts fall and fly from time to time, with a look of longing in her eyes.
"Well, this time you come with me, the boss doesn't know yet. After you meet the boss, don't say the same things as you did at home, otherwise Miss Dongdong will be unhappy."
The young man is a man with a stiff face and slightly dark skin. The first clerk is Zhu Gui, who is impressively formal.
Ten years have passed, and it seems that the years have not brought much change to him. Only a touch of vicissitudes between his eyebrows can prove that his ten years have not been wasted.
And the woman is none other than Li Xiuxiu, the younger sister of the Li family.
Her base is too low. Even with the help of her elder brother Li Hu, she can only barely break through to the middle stage of Qi refining. She is one step away from breaking through to the middle stage of Qi refining. After that, progress becomes more and more difficult.
Unless she finds a treasure that can refine her bones in the future, her limit in this life will probably be what she will be like in the later stages of Qi refining.
This is assuming there are sufficient resources.
In comparison, Zhu Gui, who took the essence and blood of Yin Zombie and transformed into a zombie bloodline, further got rid of the restrictions of his bones after receiving the Corpse King Art specially exchanged for him by Fang Chang.
Now that he has reached the peak of Qi refining, there is only one chance left before he can take another step forward and achieve an iron-rigid body.
He came here this time only to report something to his boss.
Another thing is to find the blood essence of a powerful creature through commercial channels, preferably the blood essence of the same type.
Just like the original Silver Blood, for him, it was even more effective than the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Over the years, under the care of his boss Fang Chang, he has accumulated a small amount of savings.
Although bosses often use subordinates to take the blame, as long as they do their job well, the treatment will never disappoint.
Especially for a subordinate like him who handles personal matters for his boss, his treatment is even more favorable.
"Brother Zhu, I know, it's not like you don't know that the things I said at home were all to try to frustrate my parents.
Otherwise, I would be forced to get married every day, which would be annoying to death."
Although she said this, Li Xiuxiu still showed a bit of disappointment in her eyes.
She hasn't gotten married yet, it's not that she's still waiting for Fang Chang, it's just that she hasn't met a man she's willing to marry.
Therefore, it is best for girls not to meet too stunning men when they are young, especially men who they have already invested in.
Otherwise, when you meet other men in the future, you will unconsciously compare yourself with that man, and then a man with good conditions will become a worthless existence.
The final result is to become a lonely person.
As for Fang Chang, although he is not very handsome and cannot make a girl fall in love with him at a glance, his sunny humor, cheerful atmosphere, and outstanding achievements among his peers are enough to make him become some ignorant girls.
Night dreams.
Zhu Gui nodded and said nothing more.
His attitude toward Li Xiuxiu was actually quite polite.
Li Xiuxiu is Li Hu's sister anyway, and now everyone in Anandao knows the reputation of Master Ba Jian.
By the way, Li Xiuxiu herself doesn’t know.
She only knew that her eldest brother was a cultivator with some abilities, but she did not know that he was already a famous big shot.
After all, the quality of Li Jianchun and Li Hu is completely different.
"Let's go, I have a token given by the boss, and I can directly enter the inner district of Fang City." Zhu Gui greeted.
At this moment.
There were screams from the crowd in front, and they all moved out of the way.
Li Xiuxiu and Zhu Gui saw a young man in his twenties being kicked to the ground. His robes were stained with ashes and he looked miserable. But he gritted his teeth, stood up and chased the monks ahead.
go.
"Don't leave, give me my things!"
The man stopped in front of several monks with his hands outstretched, a look of determination on his face.
"Either give me back or kill me!"
"Boy, don't seek death!"
The leader of the monks had a cold look in his eyes, piercing the man like a knife, making the man tremble uncontrollably.
As an ordinary mortal warrior, facing a monk who controls his own life is like a little white rabbit facing a big bad wolf, with natural fear.
But the man tried hard to overcome this desire to retreat, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
"Give me my stuff back!"
The leading monk did not dare to take action and only sneered:
"What? I don't even know what you are talking about, it's just baffling.
Don't stop me anymore, the rules of Fangshi are only that no one is allowed to die, but you, a mere mortal, dare to stop in front of us, even if I break your legs, Fangshi will not cause us any trouble."
The man didn't expect the monk to be so shameless, so he said loudly:
"It's my elixir! You promised me that if you took my elixir, you would help me join the Xianwu Sect, but you took my elixir and didn't do anything, and even disappeared.
I've been looking for you for three whole months, and if you don't return the elixir to me today, you can't even think of leaving!"
The monk looked annoyed when he saw that the man was unwilling to give up and pointed out that he was accepting money but not doing anything.
"What is the status of the Xianwuzong? Even if you want to join me, I also want to join you. You said I accepted your elixir, do you have any evidence?"
In the past ten years, Jindan Zhenren has appeared one after another, showing a blowout trend, almost one a year on average.
On the Annan Road alone, there are nearly twenty golden elixirs on the surface.
The current leader of the Xianwuzong is a real Jindan.
It is said that he was originally a secular warrior who used the sky as his quilt, the earth as his mat, and the four seas as his home. Later, he encountered an unexpected encounter and entered the Tao through martial arts. He also smelted the golden elixir of martial arts and became a true martial artist.
A master of martial arts, martial arts is close to the Tao, and every punch and kick has great power.
If physical training is the pursuit of the ultimate in physical fitness, then they are the pursuit of the ultimate in skills.
With a Jindan Master in charge, the Xianwu Sect can be regarded as a first-class sect in Annan Road. It is a practice sect that many martial arts practitioners dream of joining.
Nowadays, with loose cultivators everywhere and the pressure of competition increasing day by day, it is easy to imagine how many people dream of having a sect backer.
Hearing that the man wanted to join the Xianwuzong, everyone else laughed, even though they knew that what the man said was probably true.
"evidence?"
The man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I have evidence! Our agreement was made under the witness of Niu Feng, the captain of the third team of the Fang City Law Enforcement Team. As long as he is called here, everything will come to light!"
If it weren't for this person as a middleman, he would not easily believe the monk in front of him.
The leading monk sneered: "If someone stops me, he will pull me into a confrontation. I will decide whether I want to practice or live in the future.
When you find people, we will confront each other again.
Now, get out of here!"
The monk slapped it, and the magic power spurted out, turning into an invisible big palm.
For ordinary Qi refining monks, this palm is the simplest way to release mana, and it doesn't even have the technical content of snapping spiritual power.
But for a secular warrior like a man, it is a unique martial arts skill that unleashes his true energy.
The man was unable to dodge and was hit by a palm. He flew backwards and landed heavily on the ground. His chest was somewhat dented and his ribs were obviously broken.
The man was lying on the ground with blood in his mouth and nose. He was breathing hard, but the monk didn't even look at him and was about to leave with his companions.
"Who's causing trouble?!"
The city's law enforcement team arrived belatedly.
When the monk saw the law enforcement team, he immediately showed a flattering smile on his face.
"It turns out it's Captain Zhao. It's me, Xiao Ma. No one is causing trouble. He's just an ordinary mortal looking for trouble. I've already dismissed him."
"why is it you again?"
Captain Zhao of the law enforcement team frowned, but suddenly remembered something and said:
"Now that it has been solved, everyone should stop surrounding him and disperse. Someone, please throw him out and don't block the road."
"Oh, there's no chance."
"It's gone, it's gone."
"If you don't fight with the immortals, you will have poor eyesight and you will recognize the wrong person. Who can blame you?"
"We all want to seek immortality, but where can we find it?"
"We, the living gods in the eyes of mortals, still have a difficult life, and seeking immortality is not necessarily a good thing."
Amidst the discussion, the crowd of onlookers was about to disperse.
"Stop!"
With a loud shout, the crowd that was about to disperse immediately gathered around again like cats that smelled a fishy smell.
I saw Li Xiuxiu walking out of the crowd angrily.
She pointed at the man on the ground and said to Captain Zhao of the law enforcement team:
"He is clearly a victim, why don't you care?"
"Aren't you a law enforcer in Fangshi? When you saw someone injured, you let the perpetrator go. That's what you do in Fangshi!"
Li Xiuxiu, who has worked as a rich girl in the county for ten years, has developed a kind heart. When she sees injustice, she naturally wants to speak out, and when she sees the weak, she wants to help.
Of course, the main reason is that she knows who the owner of this market is.
Otherwise, she still has to hesitate whether to speak out.
She is just kind-hearted, not brainless.
But now, have no fear!
Captain Zhao couldn't help but be startled when he saw Li Xiuxiu being so aggressive, but with a glance, he was not someone he couldn't afford to offend in his memory.
If you take a closer look, you will see that the aura is so low that the cultivation level is probably not even in the late stage of Qi refining.
He immediately acted businesslike.
"You also know that I am a law enforcer, so what I say is the law. If I say he is fine, then he will be fine. If I say throw him out, then throw him out.
If you have any opinions, please keep it to me."
"What are you still doing? Do you want me to do it myself?"
Upon hearing his urging, his law enforcement team immediately took action.
"Don't touch him!"
Li Xiuxiu stretched out her hand to stop him, but with her cultivation strength, even if she was just a minion of the law enforcement team who followed orders, she would not be a match for the opponent if he took action.
However, Li Xiuxiu saw a bright light shining on her body, and then the light flashed, and the men who attacked Li Xiuxiu were involuntarily knocked away.
"Second-level robe?!"
Captain Zhao is also considered a knowledgeable person, but he never expected that the ordinary-looking clothes this girl was wearing were actually second-level robes worth nearly ten thousand spirit stones.
Damn it!
Captain Zhao knew he had hit a brick wall.
Li Xiuxiu's expression was still a little confused.
Are the clothes her brother gave her so awesome?
And she seems to have two more such clothes in her storage bag.
She also complained several times that the style was too ordinary, and she wouldn't have wanted to wear it if it weren't for the fact that it was insulated from the cold and heat and could clean dust automatically.
She thought monks all wore clothes like this.
But judging from other people's expressions, this dress of hers seems really awesome.
"Girl, our law enforcement team will handle this matter properly, so please don't interfere."
Captain Zhao had a sudden change of thought and ordered his men to help the man on the ground, saying that he would take him for treatment and to control the monks who had just injured the man.
However, Li Xiuxiu found the joy of being a chivalrous and righteous person. Seeing Captain Zhao surrender, she took advantage of the victory and pursued:
"No, who knows if you will let people go without us. Didn't he just say that your law enforcement team has a team leader named Niu Feng? Go and call him, and let's confront him together.
I suspect that someone in your law enforcement team colluded with them to harm an ordinary person."
"Is that right, everyone?"
"That's right, that's right."
"Call for confrontation, confrontation!"
"Confrontation!"
"Confrontation!!"
Those who were watching the excitement did not think it was a big deal, and the law did not hold everyone accountable. A few people started shouting, and the others followed suit.
Captain Zhao's face was heavy.
How could this accidentally turn into a mass incident?
If one person is not handled well, his clothes will have to be taken off.
Without these clothes, what would be the difference between him and these casual cultivators watching the fun.
Fortunately, his savior is coming soon.
"What are you doing here?"
Following the sound came a dignified power, which was the pressure of the Foundation Establishment monks.
The people who were booing just now shut up immediately, while others ran away first.
The crowd dispersed and saw a middle-aged man wearing a law enforcement uniform leading two law enforcement officers in.
"Bull head."
Captain Zhao quickly stepped forward to say hello. The person who came was none other than his immediate superior, Ushikawa, the captain of the law enforcer squadron in charge of this area, a foundation-building monk.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said to everyone: "If there is any problem, our law enforcement team will handle it, so I don't need to worry about it. Let's all disperse."
Once the middle-aged man spoke, others did not dare to stay.
Although foundation-building monks are not as rare as before, it is actually the same for ordinary casual cultivators.
No matter if there are ten or a hundred, they cannot afford to offend any of them.
Just watch the fun and don't turn yourself into the fun.
"No one is allowed to leave!"
Li Xiuxiu shouted angrily and said stubbornly:
"I just want to show everyone how you bully others."
But there was no deterrent effect from her words.
Just a look from the middle-aged man inspired the automatic body protection magic of Li Xiuxiu's robe.
"It turns out you have some background. No wonder you dare to interfere with the affairs of our law enforcement team. But even if you are a real person, it will not work in our Qingniufang City!"
He raised his hand, and the air stirred up, turning into a big magic hand, grabbing Li Xiuxiu.
"I'll take you down first, and then let your elders come over to pick you up!"
Thanks to Xiaohan Xiaoya for the 100 reward and Versailles cookies for the 100 reward.
