Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

At the gate of the county town, there are farmers in simple clothes leading their livestock, their faces full of longing for life in the city.

Passing through the city gate, what comes into view is a wide and straight main road. The bluestone paved road surface has been polished to a shine by the footsteps of pedestrians.

There are shops lined up on both sides of the road, with signs fluttering in the wind and hawking sounds rising and falling.

In every magic weapon shop, there is a wide variety of magic weapons on display, ranging from sharp blades gleaming with cold light to jade pendants filled with spiritual energy.

Jiang Qiong's eyes were attracted by a long sword that was completely blue and engraved with runes. When the shop owner saw him stop, he immediately came over with a big smile on his face:

"Sir, you have a good eye. This 'Blue Sea Spirit Sword' is the treasure of our store."

"It is made of deep sea cold iron and infused with the inner elixir of a high-level water monster. It is not only extremely sharp, but can also attract surrounding water vapor during battle and turn it into a shield, combining offense and defense. If you like it, the price is negotiable."

Jiang Qiong thought about it, thought it was good, and bought it immediately.

Then, the three of them walked forward and came to a medicine shop that emitted bursts of medicinal fragrance.

In the big furnace at the door, elixirs were being refined and wisps of green smoke were rising.

The shelves in the store are filled with pills with various functions, such as soul-replenishing pills, qi-replenishing pills, healing pills... Each pill is round and plump, with attractive colors.

Nan Fengxue walked into a medicine shop curiously, picked up a bottle of medicine labeled "Qi Gathering Pill" and examined it carefully. The shop owner hurriedly introduced:

"Miss, this Qi Gathering Pill is the signature of our store. It is made from seven kinds of precious spiritual plants. After taking it, it can accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy, which is very helpful for practitioners to break through bottlenecks. How many bottles do you want?"

Nan Fengxue bought the pill without hesitation, then turned around and continued to tour the county town with Jiang Qiong and others with a smile.

After looking around, I found quite a few food stalls on the street, and the steaming food exuded an enticing aroma.

Lang Nana's stomach growled at the right moment. She smiled sheepishly and pulled Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue towards a stall selling Linggu pastries.

The stall owner was a kind old lady. Seeing the customers coming, she greeted them warmly: "Young lady, young man, try our Linggu crisps. They are made from Linggu flour, added with Ling honey and baked. They are sweet and crispy. Eating them can also replenish some spiritual power."

Lang Nana picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. Instantly, the sweet taste spread on the tip of her tongue, accompanied by a warm current flowing into her body. Her eyes lit up and she praised: "Auntie, your cooking skills are really great!"

The old lady smiled and started selling her product with all her might.

Jiang Qiong and others politely bought them all.

After strolling around the county town for a while, in addition to the prosperous business, the architecture in the county town is also a major highlight.

The tall and majestic pavilions are scattered around in an orderly manner, and the flying eaves and brackets are carved with exquisite patterns, either auspicious dragons and phoenixes, or unicorns stepping on clouds, which are lifelike and show the heritage of this city.

In the distance, a towering watchtower stands in the center of the city. It is said that it is used to guard against the invasion of monsters and beasts. There are monks on duty on the tower at all times, and once any abnormality is detected, they can quickly sound the alarm.

The three of them moved among the crowd and saw many performances by street performers.

An old man held a paintbrush and painted freely in the air. After a while, beautiful landscape paintings appeared out of thin air, which attracted cheers from the audience around him.

There was also a group of cultivators who looked like children, casting magical spells and transforming their spiritual energy into colorful fireworks that bloomed in the sky, brilliant and dazzling.

As night fell, the county town did not fall into silence, but became even more lively.

The street lanterns light up one by one, making the whole city look like a dreamland.

There were laughter and joyful chatter coming from restaurants and teahouses, and the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras were endless.

Jiang Qiong and others walked into a restaurant, found a seat by the window, and ordered a table full of delicious food and wine.

Looking down from the upstairs, the streets are brightly lit and crowded with people, like a flowing painting.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Qiong put down his glass and said with emotion: "This Lingxiao County is indeed prosperous. I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time."

Nan Fengxue also nodded in agreement: "Yes, here we can purchase many materials needed for cultivation, and also learn the latest news of the cultivation world, which will be of great help to our subsequent cultivation."

While eating the delicious food, Lang Nana said, "Then let's stay here for a few more days and have a good rest."

At this moment, several cultivators in uniform walked into the restaurant. The badges on their bodies indicated that they were from a famous and upright sect in the county city.

The leader had a stern look as he scanned the restaurant, paused briefly at Jiang Qiong and the other two, then led his men up to the second floor.

Jiang Qiong's heart moved, and he whispered to his companions: "It seems that there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this county city. We must be more careful and not cause unnecessary trouble."

Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana looked at each other and nodded, knowing full well that behind this prosperity there were undercurrents. Only by acting with caution could they gain a firm foothold in Lingxiao County and continue their journey of cultivating immortals.

In the next few days, the three of them explored around the county town during the day, buying magic weapons, elixirs, and collecting intelligence;

At night, he returned to the inn, devoted himself to cultivation, and digested the gains of the past few days.

This short stay in Lingxiao County has allowed them to further enhance their strength.

Late at night, when the world was quiet, Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana were resting in their respective rooms in the inn.

Jiang Qiong was sitting cross-legged on the bed, immersed in the tranquility of cultivation, when suddenly, he keenly sensed a strange breath fluctuation.

The breath was extremely weak, as if it was there and not there, but with his highly alert perception, it was still like a ripple on the surface of a calm lake.

Jiang Qiong slowly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He quietly stood up, walked towards the door lightly, and put his ear against the door to listen to the movement outside.

At this time, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana also realized that something was wrong, and they woke up from their practice and waited in the room.

"Hiss..." A slight sound of breaking wind was heard, followed by an extremely subtle prying sound from the window.

Jiang Qiong's heart trembled, and he tightly grasped the "Bi Hai Ling Sword" beside him. This sword, which he had just purchased in the county city, seemed to feel the tense atmosphere at this moment, and the runes on the sword were faintly flickering.

As the window was slowly pushed open, a dark shadow rushed in like a ghost.

Jiang Qiong seized the opportunity and shouted loudly: "Who are you, little thief, to break into a private house at night!" At the same time, his body was as fast as lightning, and the long sword in his hand brought out a sharp sword energy and stabbed towards the black shadow.

The black shadow obviously did not expect Jiang Qiong to be so alert. He quickly dodged and barely avoided the fierce attack, but his clothes were still cut by the sword energy and a trickle of blood oozed out.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to stop me!" The black shadow snorted coldly, and quickly retreated, but in his hand there appeared a dagger emitting cold light, flashing an eerie light in the darkness.

At this time, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana also rushed out of the room and surrounded the black shadow. Nan Fengxue pinched her fingers, and several spells instantly appeared on her fingertips. She flicked them lightly, and the spells turned into several flames, shooting towards the black shadow. The flames streaked across the night sky, illuminating the room in the inn.

Lang Nana waved her hands, and the purifying power enveloped the black shadow like a white light shield, trying to restrict the black shadow's movements.

The black shadow dodged left and right under the siege of three people, but did not show any panic.

I saw his body suddenly rise taller, and with a somersault, he actually jumped onto the roof beam.

"Do you think you can trap me like this?" The black shadow laughed weirdly on the beam, then took out a handful of black powder from his arms and sprinkled it downwards.

The powder spread instantly, emitting a pungent smell that made people dizzy.

Jiang Qiong and others hurriedly held their breath and used their spiritual power to resist the invasion of this strange smell.

The black shadow took the opportunity to jump down from the beam and rushed towards the door, trying to escape.

How could Jiang Qiong let him succeed? He tapped the ground lightly with his toes, chased after him in a leap, and swung the sword in his hand again. This time, he displayed exquisite sword moves, and the sword energy crisscrossed like a fine net, covering the black shadow.

The black shadow felt the powerful sword energy pressing from behind and had to stop and turn around to resist.

The dagger in his hand danced so fast that it collided with Jiang Qiong's sword, splashing a string of sparks.

Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana also arrived quickly, and the three of them trapped the black shadow in the middle again.

"Tell me, why did you sneak into our room? Were you instructed by someone?" Jiang Qiong asked angrily, with majesty in her eyes.

The black shadow sneered: "Humph, you bought so many treasures in the county city, so I naturally wanted to steal them. I didn't expect you to have some skills."

Lang Nana frowned: "Just for the sake of greed, you do such petty thefts. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The black shadow snorted disdainfully: "In this world of immortal cultivation, the strong prey on the weak. As long as I have the ability, what does it matter if I take your things?"

Nan Fengxue said no more and changed the talisman in his hand again. A powerful binding talisman flew towards the black shadow. The black shadow was unable to dodge and was hit by the talisman, and his body was instantly unable to move.

Jiang Qiong stepped forward and put his sword to the shadow's throat: "Tell me, do you have any accomplices?"

A trace of fear appeared on the black shadow's face. "No, I'm just a lone thief. When I saw you bought so many good things, I became greedy. Please forgive me."

Jiang Qiong looked at the black shadow and thought for a moment. Although the black shadow claimed that he was a lone thief, he always felt that there was something strange about this matter.

In this heavily guarded county inn, how could an ordinary thief dare to steal so blatantly?
Moreover, the black shadow's skills and adaptability do not seem to be that of an ordinary thief.

"Tie him up first, and then hand him over to the law enforcement officers in the county town tomorrow." Jiang Qiong finally decided to control the black shadow first to avoid any more trouble.

Nan Fengxue took out a rope from the storage bag and tied up the black shadow tightly. After all this trouble, the three of them lost their sleepiness and sat in the room to discuss the matter.

"I think there's something wrong with this thief. His behavior is too bold. Could it be that someone deliberately sent him to test us?"

Nan Fengxue frowned and said. Lang Nana nodded: "I feel the same way. Although we have been keeping a low profile in the past few days in the county city, we have bought a lot of precious things after all, which may have attracted the attention of some people."

Jiang Qiong pondered for a moment: "No matter what, we still need to be vigilant.

We will collect the necessary information as quickly as possible in the next few days and then leave here.

After all, we are outsiders in this county town, so we shouldn’t get involved in too many disputes.”

After the three of them finished their discussion, they took turns guarding the room to prevent any further accidents from happening.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Jiang Qiong and others took the tied-up thief to the Law Enforcement Hall in the county town.

In the Law Enforcement Hall, a dignified deacon received them. After learning what happened, the deacon frowned:

"Recently, some unidentified people have appeared in the county city and have been operating in secret. Your experience may not be accidental."

"We will interrogate this thief thoroughly. If we find that there is a bigger conspiracy behind this, we will inform you in time."

Jiang Qiong and the others thanked the deacon and left the Law Enforcement Hall. In the next few days, they accelerated their pace of exploration. After purchasing some necessary cultivation materials and collecting enough intelligence, they decided to leave Lingxiao County and continue their journey of cultivating immortals.

The three of them were carrying their bags, carrying the intelligence and supplies they had collected. As soon as they arrived near the gate of Lingxiao County, they noticed an unusual sense of tension in the air.

Before they could react, a loud shouting and killing sounded from the front. Looking around, they saw a group of bandits like a dark cloud covering the sun, surrounding the entire Chixiao County city.

The gangsters were all dressed in black, with fierce looks on their faces. The weapons in their hands flashed coldly in the sunlight. At a glance, there were hundreds of them.

Some of them held long swords, waving them with great force; others drew strong bows, with arrows shining coldly, pointing directly at the guards on the city wall.

On the city wall, the defenders of the county city were on high alert, shooting arrows like rain towards the city, but the bandits were not afraid at all. The people in the front row raised their shields to form an indestructible defense, while the people in the back row took the opportunity to throw out ropes and set up ladders in an attempt to forcefully attack the city.

Jiang Qiong's eyes shone, and he whispered, "It seems that the county city is in trouble today. We can't just stand by and watch."

Nan Fengxue tightened the talisman in her hand and nodded slightly, her delicate face full of determination: "Yes, the people in this city are innocent. Now that we have encountered them, we must not sit idly by."

Lang Nana also pulled out the whip from her waist and swung it in the air with a few crackling sounds, responding loudly: "What are you waiting for? Let these bandits have a taste of our power!"

After saying that, the three of them rushed towards the group of bandits like three gusts of wind.

Jiang Qiong, with a long sword in hand and sword energy like a rainbow, rushed into the enemy camp first. He was agile and his sword moves were unpredictable. Every time he swung his sword, it was like a flash of lightning. Wherever he went, the bandits screamed and blood splattered.

The exquisite sword moves he displayed were like a dragon emerging from the sea, maneuvering freely and swiftly. How could those ordinary bandits resist such a fierce attack? They were forced to retreat one after another. (End of this chapter)
