Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 235 A lucrative business, a gold belt for murder and arson

After a while, the white chains that blocked the area were removed.

An old figure glanced in the direction of Youyangfang City, then flew back with a flying sword under his feet.

After returning to Youyangfang City, Luo Yan found the previous shop and strode in.

"Shopkeeper, you're back."

A young monk at the fourth level of Qi Refining asked with a gentle smile on his face.

"Ah."

The skinny old man played by Luo Yan replied uncertainly.

He looked around at the furnishings in the store. Some common Qi-refining period elixirs and some basic elixirs were placed in special transparent display cabinets.

But the quantity is very small, just a little sample.

And it was also separated by a special warning array.

Although he was not familiar with everything in the store, Luo Yan was not panicked.

He glanced at the young monk standing at the door, ready to welcome guests, and waved to him:

"come over."

The young monk looked puzzled, but he still had to listen to his shopkeeper's orders.

He hurriedly walked over, his body slightly bent and a smile on his face:

"Shopkeeper, are you looking for me?"

At this moment, a colorful spirit butterfly flew out of Luo Yan's palm, and in an instant, it rushed into the little monk's mind.

"your name?"

"Gu Shanhai." The young monk replied blankly.

"Relationship with the old shopkeeper?"

"The tribesmen from far away were found by the tribe elders because they were lonely and helpless. They felt pity for me."

Luo Yan used a simple 'fascination' technique on the young monk in front of him.

Then from his mouth, I learned the general situation inside the entire store.

For ordinary customers, it is enough for the waiters in the store to handle them.

If the purchase amount is slightly larger, the skinny old man will personally receive it.

The skinny old man was originally a monk from a small family. When he was young, he had a falling out with his family for unknown reasons.

Then he ran out alone and spent many years as a casual cultivator in Youyangfang City.

It wasn't until I built a foundation in my middle age that I settled down and opened a store like this.

Gu Shanhai, a young monk, actually spent a lot of time in the shop.

He was a skinny old man. When he secretly rushed back to the tribe to pay homage to his relatives, he saw that he was being bullied by several children.

He has no parents yet and barely has the qualifications to practice.

Then he felt compassion and brought him back from his tribe.

Therefore, although Gu Shanhai addressed the skinny old man, he always referred to him as the shopkeeper.

But in fact, they are clansmen and have lived together for many years.

On the contrary, they are a bit like biological grandparents.

This was also the reason why Gu Shanhai showed no awe in his eyes when he saw the skinny old man played by Luo Yan.

Because they are not in an employment relationship, they are family members!

In addition to a certain amount of respect, naturally they will not be too awed by their elders.

Under the 'Ecstasy', Gu Shanhai almost answered every question.

Luo Yan also knew that a large number of elixirs and some elixirs were stored in the secret room upstairs.

These are the current supplies of this store.

Techniques such as ecstasy can barely be regarded as the use of soul power.

In the Sutra Pavilion of Five Elements Temple, it is a spiritual secret technique.

The method of use is also very simple.

It is to use one's own huge spiritual power to suppress the soul origin of others.

Then achieve the purpose of questioning.

It’s just that the conditions for using ‘Ecstasy’ are also very strict.

That is, one's own mental power must exceed the target by a large margin and be crushed in all directions to achieve the true effect of the spell.

Otherwise, it is easy to encounter backlash.

For example, if Luo Yan aimed his 'Ecstasy' spell at the skinny old man, it would be almost impossible to have any effect.

Even for ordinary Qi Refining Dzogchen monks, it is basically difficult to achieve this.

Therefore, although the secret technique of 'Ecstasy' is easy to use, it actually has great limitations.

Generally, it can only have an effect on some low-level monks.

And there is a clear difference between this secret technique and the 'soul searching technique'.

The 'Soul Searching Technique' is mandatory and will cause indelible damage to the target's soul.

However, the memory of the target can be experienced by the caster as if it were personal experience.

But the secret method of 'ecstasy' cannot do this.

It must also be a guiding question before you can answer it.

The limitations are huge!

And although the 'ecstasy' technique does not cause much harm to the monks themselves.

But if something goes against their original wishes, they are likely to get no response.

For example, the kind of secret hidden deep in the heart.

That kind of privacy is almost impossible to ask using 'Ecstasy'.

Therefore, in most cases, people in the Law Enforcement Hall will generally choose to practice the 'Soul Searching Technique' instead of the 'Ecstasy Technique'.

But Luo Yan was different. He was already very interested in spiritual secrets.

So he exchanged these two kinds of secret jade slips.

In the current situation, it is enough to use the 'Ecstasy' method of questioning.

Luo Yan's purpose this time is simple.

He only needed to ask briefly for some basic information about the skinny old man, and that was about it.

So Luo Yan closed the shop next.

This young monk named Gu Shanhai also had his spiritual energy sealed up in his body, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.

Then Luo Yan began to search for the elixirs and elixirs in the shop.

Although there is a layer of restrictions outside the secret room on the second floor to prevent others from breaking in.

But in Luo Yan's eyes, this level of restriction is nothing more than decoration.

It doesn't take Xumi's effort to break it open.

After two sticks of incense, Luo Yan had basically emptied everything in the shop.

There are also three storage bags that I carry with me.

Each one is packed to the brim.

In order to prevent Gu Shanhai from waking up early, Luo Yan once again used an illusion technique on him.

Without outside intervention, at least for a long time, he would not be able to wake up.

Luo Yan was not an evil cultivator and had a murderous nature, so he would naturally not kill such insignificant people.

The reason why he fell into a deep sleep was that he wanted to do it again.

Several other stores were looted.

After all, Luo Yan's rune transformation experiment required a huge resource gap.

Under normal circumstances, it would take a long time to obtain so many elixirs.

If he were within the sect, Luo Yan could still think of a way.

But in a place like this, he could only let go of his thoughts.

Luo Yan would not imitate those rogue cultivators and do any such things as stalking and robbing.

This efficiency is too slow and the returns are very unstable.

It’s also easy to alert someone.

Luo Yan's target was not these people from the beginning.

He targeted these stores.

If you want to loot, you must also loot these shops!

Only these people can be called rich.

That behavior exactly a year ago gave Luo Yan a legitimate reason.

So he took action now without any scruples.

But this is also based on his absolute strength, otherwise even if the 'fish' bites the hook, it will be difficult for the target to escape.

After this personal experience, Luo Yan finally understood why many elders in the sect were no longer interested in running the cave.

It takes too long to run the cave.

It would be better to be a hands-off shopkeeper and just plant some high-aged elixirs.

If you want to take care of it, you can also leave it to your disciples to take care of it.

save time and energy!

If you lack resources, go to the outside world.

With the methods of their large disciples, except for those of the same level.

It is almost impossible for ordinary monks to be their opponents.

For example, in a remote market like this, except for the two guardians of the golden elixir stage.

It is impossible for other monks to be Luo Yan's opponent.

As long as he doesn't arrogantly go inside Youyangfang City and do things.

Even if those two Golden Core Stage monks knew of his existence, they would most likely turn a blind eye.

When you have the strength, you can kill and set fire to the golden belt.

In this way, resources can be obtained too quickly.

However, when their cultivation reaches the level of the Golden Core Stage, basically ordinary low-grade spiritual stones will hardly have much effect on them.

Because the monk's cultivation has become advanced, the amount of spiritual energy stored in the body will be huge.

It is almost difficult to fill the spiritual veins in a high-level monk's body with only low-grade spiritual stones.

In the following time, Luo Yan did the same thing again.

He turned into another casual cultivator and pretended to be passing by in front of another shop.

Then he was followed, discovered the secret, and ran out of the city with him

Relying on this repeated fishing method, Luo Yan succeeded almost every time.

The only time that was more unexpected was that the man shouted at him directly on the street of Fangshi from a long distance away.

Luo Yan's response was also very simple.

The acting skills are on point, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then ran away in an instant.

When the shopkeeper at the back saw his reaction, he immediately realized something was wrong and ran out.

So another casual cultivator shop fell into his hands.

In just a few days, Luo Yan filled more than a dozen storage bags with the elixirs and various spiritual materials he had accumulated.

Luo Yan's sudden wealth made Luo Yan narrow his eyes with pleasure.

Although I have abundant resources, I still think about when the next experiment will end.

He was still a little unsure.

Luo Yan had previously brought several storage bags of elixirs from the waters of Daze, but they only lasted less than two years.

Luo Yan didn't know how long this experiment of transforming runes on monks' flesh and blood would last.

So it is always right to take advantage of this time to get more cultivation resources.

After looting the shops opened by individuals, what remains are the shops opened by some foundation-building families.

It’s no longer easy to use the previous method of ‘throwing bait’.

Because the people used in these shops are all from their own clansmen and know each other very well.

It was easy for Luo Yan to cheat on him.

If once you get through, it will be very difficult to lure other monks to take the bait.

So when facing this kind of family, he changed his strategy.

Luo Yan gathered all the tens of thousands of spiritual stones in his hand.

Then divide it into several batches and buy the elixir in these stores.

Whether it is low-level spiritual herbs that are ten years old or high-level spiritual herbs that are hundreds of years old, they are all within his acquisition scope. The shopkeepers in these stores were confused by the sudden acquisition.

Although this strange guest, why only buys the elixir and is indifferent to other elixirs?

But they came out specifically to do business.

When guests come to the door, there is no such thing as driving the guests away.

So Luo Yan used the spiritual stones looted from the previous shops and spent them all in these family shops.

Used to purchase various elixirs on a large scale.

No matter what grade he was in, he wiped them all away.

Such a generous act also put smiles on the faces of these shopkeepers.

After acquiring these elixirs, Luo Yan did not leave too far.

He stopped at a mountain forest ten miles away from Fangshi.

So Luo Yan started waiting again.

Sure enough, it was not what he expected.

After the shopkeepers of these shops received a large amount of spiritual stones, there was also a shortage of elixirs in the shops.

At this time, he will find a way to return to his clan immediately and bring back the spiritual stones with him.

The tribesmen in the shop would definitely be worried about handing so many spiritual stones to them.

So they had to do it themselves.

Tens of thousands of spiritual stones, although compared to the entire worth of a monk in the foundation-building stage, is not particularly large.

But it was enough for them to make a trip in person.

Not only to bring the spiritual stones back to the clan, but also to use these spiritual stones to stock up.

Because there is a shortage of elixirs in the store, it will affect the operation of the store in the long run.

Luo Yan knew this very clearly.

Because these people are family monks!

For risk reasons, we basically won’t store too many spiritual stones in the store.

Usually, after a period of time, a dedicated person will come to hand it over deliberately.

But the current number of spirit stones can exceed their income for several years.

If they continue to wait for the tribesmen in the Qi Refining Period to come and take away these tens of thousands of spiritual stones as usual, they will not be relieved.

Based on this situation, the shopkeeper in the store will most likely go back in person.

This gave Luo Yan another chance.

The atmosphere of the shopkeepers in these shops was recorded in advance by him.

Moreover, a special monitoring formation was set up outside Youyangfang City.

As long as these shopkeepers take a step out of Youyangfang City, Luo Yan will instantly sense them.

So in the next month, Luo Yan adopted the behavior of "waiting for the rabbit".

Not only did he take back the spiritual stones he had spent previously.

I even got a dozen storage bags of elixir for free.

The encounters that occurred during this period were naturally far from smooth sailing.

Even the last time, seven foundation-building monks were directly dispatched, but they were all suppressed by Luo Yan.

Because as time went by, what happened in these stores was finally exposed.

Some evil cultivators looted many shops in Youyangfang City.

This news spread like crazy in the city.

So Luo Yan, a customer who was buying elixirs on a large scale, appeared in their sights.

They speculated that the spiritual stones that Luo Yan used to purchase might have been tampered with.

Able to locate the specific location of the monk.

Therefore, shopkeepers in several shops used this as bait to deliberately set up a trap.

A Foundation Establishment Stage shopkeeper is in front, followed by six other Foundation Establishment Stage monks.

This time, they did not greet the city managers.

Mainly because of the spiritual stone on Luo Yan's body.

You know, the generous methods he showed earlier showed that he had a lot of spiritual stones in his pocket.

If the city manager is notified, we can go together to arrest an evil cultivator.

At that time, I'm afraid we will have to distribute more than 30% of the profits.

This is unacceptable to them under any circumstances.

They believe that with the cooperation of seven foundation-building monks, no matter how powerful the evil cultivator is, they can solve it.

By then, you can still get a lot of money.

why not?

Their original plan was to stop this evil cultivator and kill him.

But the fact is that after they encountered Luo Yan.

The original prey has turned into a devouring beast.

They had a shocking battle twenty miles away from Youyangfang City.

In order to prevent these experimental subjects from escaping, Luo Yan also showed his true strength.

The five-color talismans were blazing, and the entire space was filled with glow. His black hair was flying like a god of war.

Although Luo Yan is not old, he is really very strong.

These casual cultivators are far from comparable to those of small family cultivators.

Even if such people join forces, they will still not be his opponent.

And in a very short period of time, the joint efforts of these foundation-building monks were defeated.

Then suppress them all!

After this battle, Luo Yan knew very well that Youyangfang City could no longer stay in this place.

Simply this time, he got what he wanted.

Not only did they harvest a large amount of elixirs, they also solved the problem of nutrient solutions.

We also got back a dozen experimental subjects who were in the foundation-building stage.

Even the total amount of spirit stones in the storage bag is close to the one hundred thousand mark!

After the battle, Luo Yan did not stay where he was.

He casually set up a teleportation formation and threw these experimental subjects in.

He also disappeared from this area.

After Luo Yan left, less than half a stick of incense had passed before two startling rainbows came from the direction of Youyangfang City.

The speed of these two escaping lights was extremely fast, and even the sound of breaking through the air was left far behind.

A burly man with a rough appearance landed first.

Then there was a middle-aged scribe with a white face and no beard, wearing a scribe's turban and a Confucian shirt.

The energy fluctuations on their bodies are all astonishing, with a hint of space ripples faintly present.

Although his cultivation is still in the foundation building stage, he is not far away from that level.

As soon as the two people landed, they looked at the chaotic battlefield around them.

Trees fell down, all kinds of gravel on the ground, and deep pits blasted out by magic were densely packed.

It's comparable to a terrifying monument.

"Appearance and Shaping, start!"

The Confucian scholar's hands made a secret, and then rays of rays of light were released from his palms.

These rays of light quickly passed over the entire land, and then rushed into the sky.

Slowly, these rays of light absorbed the aftermath of the battle and formed a curtain of light.

"Boom!"

What was playing back in the light curtain at this moment was the scene from Luo Yan's previous battle.

The man in green in the picture, one against seven, is like a demon, exuding a powerful aura.

The magic techniques all over his body are extremely perfect, and every move carries terrifying power.

Facing seven foundation-building monks of the same level, ordinary strong men, or family leaders, the sect elders saw them.

No one would be wary of it, and would even frown and prepare for it.

However, the man in green in the picture suppressed all seven foundation-building monks in a very short period of time.

Seeing such a scene, the pupils of the scholar in scholar's shirt and the rough and arrogant man both shrank, seeing each other's shock.

The cyan figure in the picture is using runic magical powers.

Even with the combined efforts of seven foundation-building monks, they still couldn't defeat it.

The area was even imprisoned by the cyan figure, making it impossible to escape.

Soon, the picture in the light curtain ended.

The two people present fell into silence for a while.

Because even if they put themselves in, they will face the siege of seven foundation-building monks.

Basically, it is very difficult to escape unscathed.

You must know that both of their cultivations have half a foot in that field.

Being preparing to hit that realm.

Faced with this situation, everyone will find it more difficult.

This unpredictable method can defeat seven monks of the same level at the same time.

"This guy should be from the south, right?"

The rough and arrogant man chuckled, with a hint of shrewdness on his face.

Obviously, he guessed the general identity of the cyan figure.

There is a high probability that he is a genius disciple of a certain sect in the Southern Region.

Because he searched his memory and couldn't find the person corresponding to it.

The cyan figure's strength and rune skills cannot be faked.

He is definitely a top-notch person!

Such existences are extremely rare even in large sects.

Each one is very famous.

After all, there are many people in the Western Region, so how could such an astonishing existence be unknown?

He has stayed in Youyangfang City for such a long time and has a lot of friendships with many monks from the sect.

You can hear some gossip from their mouths that others don't know.

Basically, he has a certain impression of the famous geniuses from the major sects in the Western Region.

Moreover, the magical powers of each sect are widely spread.

It is basically correct to use these magical powers to determine the approximate origin of a monk.

Therefore, the cyan figure in the light curtain must be a monk from the Western Region.

Before that, more or less, there should be some gossip.

After all, for such a powerful being, the movement of the attack cannot be concealed.

From the flowing fighting posture, it can be seen that this guy has very solid combat experience.

Being able to do this requires a lot of fighting.

But this cyan figure seemed to pop out suddenly.

Throughout my memory, it was only in that isolated place in the Southern Territory that such an arrogant person could appear.

"Most likely, right?"

The scholar in scholar's shirt sighed softly, as if he was admiring the green figure.

There was still a hint of thinking on his face.

Before they came, they had been found by members of several families, saying that there were traces of evil cultivators in Youyangfang City.

My shopkeeper disappeared.

So after sensing the fluctuations in the battle here, the scholar-shirted scholar, as the future heir to the boss, rushed over with his friends as soon as possible.

I want to bring this evil cultivator to justice.

After all, the existence of such monks greatly affects the normal operation of the market.
