Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 462 Robbers
After coming out of Maple Leaf City, Zhang Miao spent a thousand spirit stones to purchase materials for the formation. Several large sects in Dongjiao Prefecture are at war with the Maoyu Sect in Haishi Prefecture. The prices of various cultivation materials in the city have increased by 30 to 50%. The low-level monks are living in misery, and the higher-level monks have already lost money on other things. Practice in the state capital.

War only makes people at the bottom suffer...

In the past, Zhang Miao's formation materials were not worth so many spiritual stones. With a sigh, Zhang Miao bought something and left the city.

Zhang Miao also looked at the location of the rental, which was next to a manor named Zhang. It's not that Zhang Miao doesn't want to live in the wilderness, but that the places where spiritual energy gathers in the wilderness are occupied.

The suburbs of Maple Leaf City have developed to this day, and the places where the best spiritual energy gathers have been developed into various manors. Only places with abundant spiritual energy can develop spiritual fields. The smaller places were occupied by various monks and became caves.

Therefore, if you want to find a place with abundant spiritual energy and beautiful environment, you really must rent it.

The manor next to the Zhang family is actually run by the Zhang family. The people who rent here are a mixed bag of everything. There are many farmhands working nearby, there are also outhouses where Zhang family monks live, there are also low-level monks who come to Maple Leaf City from other states to find a living, and there are even a few demon tenants.

There has been some unrest recently. Some tenants here gritted their teeth and moved into Maple Leaf City, so that the vacant houses can be rented to Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao found a small courtyard. This small courtyard is only half an acre in size. The walls of other small courtyards are close to the walls and ditches are connected to ditches. It is extremely cramped. But this house is a separate house after all, which is convenient for setting up magic circles and practicing alone. Better than those pigeon cages.

Negotiate the price with the Zhang family and sign a contract. This courtyard belongs to Zhang Miao. After the Zhang family left, the residents next to them stood on the wall and greeted Zhang Miao.

"Hello, new neighbor!"

The neighbor standing on the wall and greeting Zhang Miao was a female cultivator. Her cultivation level was not very high, she was probably at the sixth level of Qi training. However, this person looks very charming, with a peach blossom look on his face, which is quite attractive.

When renting a house, the Zhang family warned Zhang Miao that his neighbor was the aunt of a big shot in the Zhang family. If he wanted to practice quietly, it was best not to provoke this female nun.

The honest and timid Zhang Miao naturally agreed, so when he saw the female cultivator greeting him, he didn't respond and went straight in.

Seeing Zhang Miao like this, the female cultivator had a look of disgust on her face. She cursed secretly and fell down from the wall.

It's best not to mess with this kind of cheating Hongxing, because you might not be able to eat the fox and even get into trouble.

Back in the room, Zhang Miao checked again. After making sure there was no problem, he started to set up the formation. Nowadays, he needs a lot of spiritual energy practice, so naturally he has to set up a spiritual gathering array.

The spiritual energy of this place is acceptable. The place chosen by the Zhang family is also a place to hide wind and water, so the spiritual energy is still acceptable. It would be a bit of a waste if you just simply set up a small spirit gathering array.

Zhang Miao is not really a monk in the Qi refining stage. If you are really a monk in the Qi refining stage, the small spirit gathering array is enough, because the efficiency of low-level monks in absorbing spiritual energy is not high, and the spiritual energy of the small spirit gathering array is enough for them. However, Zhang Miao can absorb no matter how much spiritual energy there is. This kind of efficiency is naturally not something that a small spirit gathering array can satisfy.

But if we want to set up a large spirit gathering array, this place seems too small... Zhang Miao thought about it and decided to strengthen the small spirit gathering array and arrange a composite small spirit gathering array.

The materials in hand were barely enough. Zhang Miao began to design the formation diagram, then began to refine the formation materials, and then began to set up the formation.

He used three small spirit-gathering formations as the formation eyes, supplemented by the three-talent structure, so that the three small spirit-gathering formations could increase and strengthen each other. Then he opened a small fish pond in the small yard, placed a big stone rockery next to the fish pond, and then planted a big tree behind the house.

This is a Feng Shui pattern, not a Feng Shui array. Store water in front of the house to collect Qi, plant trees behind the house to hide the wind, and use rockery to control Feng Shui, forming a Feng Shui pattern of a house with Qi and water, which can also increase the gathering speed of some spiritual energy.

Zhang Miao worked hard all day and finally got these done. Once the formation was completed, the concentration of spiritual energy in his small courtyard immediately tripled. However, due to the Feng Shui pattern, these auras will not leak out and others will not feel it.

After everything was prepared, Zhang Miao actually started the Xiaosancai Spirit Gathering Formation. As soon as this formation came out, the spiritual energy that was originally two to three times more concentrated increased to more than ten times! In just an instant, the nearby spiritual energy began to gather towards Zhang Miao's hut. If a monk with a high enough level of cultivation was here, he would notice the strange movement of this spiritual energy.

However, most of the people living here were low-level monks. They only felt that the spiritual energy was slightly more active, but they did not sense that there was a huge spiritual energy gathering towards Zhang Miao's hut.

Zhang Miao, who was in the center of the aura, began to swallow the aura without any scruples. It doesn't matter what kind of cultivation technique you practice, the technique will limit Zhang Miao's performance. At his level, he only needs to instinctively absorb spiritual energy and convert it into mana. With the help of his Yang Shen, this kind of thing does not require any guidance at all.

Other monks in the Qi Refining Stage can't bear the pain in their backs and lack of energy after practicing for three to five hours, but Zhang Miao does not have this problem. He can practice continuously for twelve hours until the supply of nearby spiritual energy is insufficient...

With this huge supply of spiritual energy, it took only two days for Zhang Miao to survive smoothly and become a monk in the late stage of Qi training...

At this rate, it would only take half a month for Zhang Miao to practice Qi to perfection, and then just find a place with strong spiritual energy to break through the foundation.

On the other side, three robbers from Haishi Mansion were making powder in a hut. After careful preparation, the powder that charms the mind and weakens the magic power is finally prepared.

I saw the elder brother wrapping his head and face with three layers of cloth and three layers, and carefully put the powder into the bottle. Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It took us five or six days to prepare the powder. Brother, do you have anyone to rob?"

The monk named Lao Er nodded and said, "I have been out visiting places these days and found several targets that I can try. Among them are Li Family Farm, Guan Family Farm and Zhang Family Farm."

"There are a lot of people in the gathering place of Li Family Farm. The Li family guarding it has three monks in the foundation building stage, one of whom is in the late stage of foundation building. Their family mainly produces snake grass, which is not very profitable, so the tenants of his family Maybe not that rich.”

"The Guan family mainly breeds spiritual chickens. Their defense is the weakest, but at critical times they may use the half-step golden elixir spiritual chicken, so it is the most variable."

"As for the Zhang family...the output of the Zhang family is talisman paper, and their manor is also a workshop. Their family has the most tenants and workers, and is also the richest. However, their guard is a family elder of the Jindan stage. We can't deal with it." The boss was very surprised and said, "If you can't deal with it, why did you bring this up?"

Having said this, the second child smiled and said: "I don't know something, eldest brother. It is said that this clan leader kept an outhouse on the farm. His first wife knew about it and is now making trouble at home. This guy The Zhang family always relies on the in-law family to get into trouble. His father-in-law is the patriarch of the family and has a higher level of cultivation than him. Now that he is making a fuss, he probably has to go back to appease his original wife, so this farm is the best place to deal with. "

When the boss heard this, he immediately laughed. He shook his head and said, "A man, if you can't even control your little brother, how can this be a big deal?" He thought for a while and said, "Then let's go deal with the Zhang family. If you want to do it, do it big. This medicine powder is not cheap. If we can’t make money back, we will lose money!”

There are many people who would kill themselves, but no one would do a business that would make them lose money. It cost them three thousand spirit stones to prepare this medicine powder, and if they could not make back their investment through looting, it would be a huge loss.

After the third brother heard the discussion between the eldest brother and the second brother, he immediately said: "Listen to the two brothers, let's go and do whatever they want. When we have money, we will leave this place and go to other state capitals to live happily." !”

The three of them discussed for a while, determined their goal, and then headed towards the gathering place of the Zhang family after regaining their energy.

Their target is naturally not the farm. The farm is protected by formations and there are other Zhang family monks stationed there. The three of them naturally do not dare to attack the farm. Their target is the gathering place not far from the farm, where Zhang Miao rents. .

The robbers also bullied the weak and feared the strong. They did not dare to deal with the farms, but they dared to deal with the miserable workers.

When they arrived at the gathering place of the Zhang family's tenants, the three of them found a windward outlet. Then the eldest brother took out the small bottle and sprinkled the powder in the bottle, while the second brother blew up the strong wind and blew the powder towards the gathering place downwind.

This powder has the effect of confusing the mind and reducing mana. Low-level monks do not have strong mana to begin with. After inhaling this powder, their mana becomes almost non-existent. A monk without mana and his mind is confused, he is not ready to be slaughtered. Pigs and sheep were slaughtered at will.

These three people have done this a lot in Haishi Mansion. They often rely on this method to plunder demon villages. As the saying goes, one trick can be used everywhere, and here they also want to make a fortune with this trick.

The medicinal powder floated into the gathering place, and soon spread in the gathering place. Many monks who were still in the gathering place suddenly felt their noses itching, then sneezed, and then felt that their magic power was suppressed. They were startled, and at this moment, a feeling of dismay came over them. Before they had time to think about what was going on, they began to curse and smash things crazily.

The three brothers squatting upwind saw this scene, looked at each other, and then rushed towards the gathering place!
They rushed into people's homes in the gathering place. If anyone dared to resist, they would kill them, then rummage through the boxes and take away the things. Although low-level monks also have storage bags and spirit stone bags. But they will also keep some spiritual stones at home for emergencies. After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, dozens and hundreds of spiritual stones were found and taken away.

Suddenly, the gathering place was filled with wailing, which echoed through the sky.

Next to Zhang Miao's small courtyard, the charming woman turned pale at this time. She murmured: "That vicious woman is so good at her tricks, she even sent people to kill me! These people came in disguised as robbers, and they must have killed me." It’s to cover up this fact! It’s a pity that Zhang Lang and I were so in love that we lost our lives because of such a poisonous woman!”

The outer room was sad for a while, but after all, she was a monk, and she was also an outer room who wanted to be in a higher position. After a short period of heartbreak, she immediately took out a magic weapon from her arms and gathered the belongings in the house. After all, she was a sixth-level Qi-training monk. Even though her magic power was greatly damaged by the influence of the medicinal powder, this magic weapon was not affected.

This magic weapon is a self-defense magic weapon given to her by her 'Zhang Lang'. It can shoot three water swords in the late stage of foundation building. It's enough for self-defense.

Holding the magic weapon, the woman felt calm. Then she quietly walked out of the small courtyard and ran for her life into the distance. But before leaving, she hesitated and shouted to Zhang Miao's yard: "New neighbor, there is a thief invading. Do you want to follow me? My sister will protect you!"

I don't know if he is greedy for Zhang Miao's body or if he really has compassion. Anyway, she was lending a helping hand to Zhang Miao.

But at this time, Zhang Miao was practicing in the house. Although it is also affected by the medicinal powder, the impact is not significant. He was absorbing spiritual energy with all his strength, but he had no time to care about these anomalies.

It wasn't until the female cultivator shouted that he understood what was happening outside... He stopped practicing, Yang Shen glanced outside, and found three desperadoes who were robbing homes.

"It's actually three of them... It's really..." Zhang Miao recognized these three people at a glance. He thought for a moment and looked at the Xiaosancai Spirit Gathering Formation beside him. This formation cannot be dismantled once it is set up. If it is dismantled, there will be damage. He has no money to set up another formation now.

Therefore, in order to protect his formation, he must drive away those three people!
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao sighed. When he walked out of the house, he saw the charming woman waving to him, and said somewhat eagerly: "Hurry up, sister will take you away!"

Zhang Miao shook his head and said, "No, all my belongings are in this courtyard. What will happen to these things if I leave?"

When the woman heard this, she immediately scolded: "Well, you are a stupid young man. Seeing that you ignore others, I think you are a stupid young man who doesn't understand the style. I never thought that you are really a stupid young man. You can still use it if you don't have the things." Earn it back, but you’ll lose everything if you lose your life!”

Zhang Miao shook his head and said seriously: "Girl, you don't understand how hard it is to make money. A broken family is worth tens of thousands of dollars, so we can't lose this little family fortune."

Zhang Miao walked out of the small courtyard as he spoke. He looked not far away, and just in time, three robbers appeared not far away. When the girl saw it, she immediately said: "Okay, my sister is gone. If you can't keep up, forget it."

After saying that, she turned around and walked away. The wind was blowing under her feet. It seemed that she had activated the talisman and she was running quite fast.

When the three robbers saw Zhang Miao, they smiled. The boss said with a smile: "It takes no effort to get here even if you wear iron shoes. Isn't this guy right here?"

Zhang Miao looked at them and didn't bother to talk nonsense with them. With just a flick of his hand, three invisible Xuanyin Ziwu arrows were shot towards the three of them. The three of them fell to the ground and died without even making a sound!

Zhang Miao glanced at the corpses of the three people. He did not pick up the corpses, but returned to his hut and continued to practice.
