Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements
Chapter 770: Underground Trade Fair, Talisman
The local island monks have a household registration system and need to pay a certain amount of taxes to the City Lord's Mansion on a regular basis according to their realm of cultivation.
Otherwise you will be punished.
Once registered as an island resident, the monk will never be able to escape in his lifetime. Even when traveling to other islands, he needs to register and be marked with a magic seal to prevent escape.
Relying on this pathological slavery system, the prosperity of the entire island is promoted.
It is hard to imagine that such a system actually exists in the world of cultivation.
This is very different from the expected life of those casual cultivators.
In Luo Yan's memory, although real independent cultivators lacked resources for cultivation and had no fixed place to live, they at least had a certain degree of freedom.
The information he is now exposed to is more like another model, an operating system unique to the Wanxinghai Islands.
Luo Yan watched all this and knew very well that this was an act of exploitation from top to bottom, with heavy oppression and layers of shackles binding every monk on the island.
No wonder even those island cultivators who have achieved enlightenment and become great cultivators in the realm of refining emptiness rarely escape from their original islands.
It’s not that they don’t want to, but that they can’t do it!
The so-called freedom of practice without oppression is only reflected in a very small number of people.
For the rest of the monks, they don’t even have a place to live. Survival is a big problem, let alone freedom.
Even so, there is an even larger interest group above that small group of privileged people.
Disciple of the Five Elements Sect!
This is the nature of the cultivators in the Wanxinghai Islands, one layer upon another, mortals, independent cultivators, cultivators from small families, the City Lord's Mansion, and disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
The above are all linked together, and perhaps they can continue to go up.
Therefore, when a huge chaos broke out in an area, it even caused a shock to the Five Elements Sect.
This is not something that can be accomplished by one person or a small group of privileged people.
There are deeper reasons hidden here.
"This is not a problem with people, but a result of the system itself."
Luo Yan let out a breath slowly. He found some answers to prove that the chaos in the Wanxing Sea was not without reason.
The answer he found may not be complete or absolute, but it was what he saw with his own eyes and experienced personally.
It all comes down to system problems!
According to the Five Elements Sect's rules, all living creatures in the world are spiritual, whether they are human or demon.
For this reason, the Five Elements Sect's rules stipulate that no one within the sect's territory may commit indiscriminate killing.
Even if the other party is from the sea clan!
This regulation, to a certain extent, promoted the harmonious coexistence between the disciples of the Five Elements Sect and some demon tribes.
The sect advocates the way of nature, letting things take their own course. The great way is invisible, and no one is allowed to interfere with the practice of others. This is both cause and effect and retribution.
If ordinary disciples fall into it, it will inevitably affect their future lives.
This starting point is good.
But when such rules and regulations are implemented at the grassroots level, things change completely.
Because those island owners will subconsciously believe that they are the masters of the land under their feet, and the power of life and death of all living things on the island depends on their thoughts.
As a result, it became a matter of course that the fragments of the laws were harvested.
It's a very simple truth. If there is no benefit at all, who, as a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, would be willing to come to such a desolate place and become the owner of an island where no one lives?
After all, they were the ones who built the island, they were the ones who suppressed the surrounding sea creatures, and they also bought the many creatures on the island with spirit crystals.
Everything is their private property!
From this perspective, those island monks are actually their personal property!
If it weren't for the restrictions of the Five Elements Sect's rules, Luo Yan could even guess that once a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm appeared, those island masters would personally take action, reap their lives, and refine the fragments of the laws.
In this way, whether for personal use or for trading with other Five Elements Sect disciples, it is an extremely good choice.
Instead of hiding it like now, we need a cover that can be put out in the open while isolating ourselves from being affected.
After all, he was targeted by members of the Tianji Palace, which led to big trouble.
"system?"
"Brother Luo, what you mean is that the real reason why this happened is not due to a certain person?"
Zhong Ning was puzzled and didn't understand what this had to do with the sect system.
All he saw was one thing, that is, someone was practicing the devil's way, killing people to gain the foundation of the Tao!
Isn't this what bad people do?
When encountering such a situation, wouldn’t it be better to solve the source?
"You are not a sword cultivator, and you have not yet truly embarked on the path of cultivation. You don't have to be so hateful and righteous!"
"The chaos in the Wanxing Sea was not caused by one or two people."
"Everything you see, visible and invisible, is closely related to it."
"There are not so many black and white, right and wrong in the world. Some things are far from being as simple as they seem on the surface."
"You have extraordinary eyes. I believe your future achievements will not be lower than mine."
“Don’t be influenced by others, and don’t have any preconceived notions. Just watch it carefully with a neutral perspective.”
Luo Yan knew clearly that it was because of the appearance of Du Feibai that the child had shaped a sense of right and wrong between good and evil.
So I subconsciously thought that the demon monk was wrong.
Luo Yan neither agreed nor denied it. After all, the actions of the demon monks were indeed too cruel and vicious.
If he encountered it, he wouldn't mind dealing with it.
But blindly killing cannot solve any problems. This is the deep experience Luo Yan gained after traveling.
He just wanted the kid to see the essence of this.
He had a hunch that this child might really be born divine and would definitely have an extraordinary future.
Therefore, when Luo Yan was teaching Zhong Ning, he really treated him as his own disciple.
There has never been the slightest favoritism.
Sometimes, excessive subjective imagination can easily affect the real facts.
The world of cultivation is too complicated, full of conspiracies and intrigues, and intertwined forces. It is really difficult to move forward alone without the support of fellow practitioners.
A genius like Luo Yan would be threatened with the Five Elements Sect dominating the Endless Sea above him and a Mahayana ancestor like the White Eyebrow Palace Master looking up to him below.
Not to mention other people.
Oppression is everywhere!
Any cultivator of the Five Elements Sect, or any living being in this world, cannot escape this kind of visible or invisible oppression.
It seems as if this world has fallen into a morbid vicious circle.
'Boom! '
Above the sea, there are energy fluctuations surging up at any time, squeezing the entire world. Those are caused by the collision of the cultivators' magic weapons, shocking all living beings and sweeping the surroundings.
"Compared to more than a decade ago, the Wanxing Sea has become more chaotic."
Luo Yan's eyes flickered, and he felt that there was a big problem with the operation of these islands. The fierce fighting sounds could be heard everywhere, which made people feel panic. Because the monks at the middle three realms had fought first, the low-level monks at the lower three realms also began to fight.
Everywhere you look, you can see scenes of fighting.
The war among the sea creatures had not yet completely broken out, but the Wanxing Sea had already begun to become chaotic.
Luo Yan guessed that there must be an extremely powerful force pushing it in secret.
His eyes were dim, and the mysterious power of destiny jumped a few times, as if he had captured something extraordinary.
Luo Yan's gaze shifted slightly and looked towards the quiet sea.
On an unknown deserted island, hundreds of dark shadows gathered here. All the people seemed to be extremely cautious. After looking around, they began to wander around again.
This seems to be a place for underground transactions.
A forbidden magic circle is set up on the periphery of the deserted island. It shines brightly but is hidden in nothingness, as if it is specially used to guard against special abnormalities.
Although seemingly inconspicuous, the grade of this barrier is actually as high as sixth grade!
It is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Even a true cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm would never be able to break this formation without alerting the people inside!
Luo Yan came to the outside of the forbidden magic circle, observed it carefully for a while, and then roughly understood the basic function of this magic circle.
This is similar to a door wall. You need to unlock it and open the door before you can get inside.
Luo Yan thought about it, and imitated it with the mysterious energy of destiny and the power of incense and vows, and then he finally found a specific frequency.
He came outside the barrier, reached out and touched it lightly, and the invisible barrier broke like water waves.
Luo Yan walked slowly into the deserted island.
"A strand of the Gold Element Law can be traded for a sixth-level divine ore or a sixth-level divine concentration pill."
"A strand of the origin of the painting can be traded with a fragment of the law of the same level. Other private offers are also accepted."
"A stone tablet containing the true meaning of the sword, which can be traded for fragments of the Thunder Law, Ice Law, and Xunfeng Law."
Inside the deserted island, countless complicated divine thoughts are intertwined, all of which are selling some common fragments of the laws of the universe.
However, this group of people almost all engage in bartering, hoping to find fragments of laws that can be useful to them.
Among these people, Luo Yan saw several disciples of the Great Zhoutian Xingchen Sect. Although they tried hard to hide their spirits and auras, they were naked in front of Luo Yan.
Very conspicuous.
On the deserted island, more figures are wearing black robes or gray robes. While wrapping themselves up, they also carry special magical tools that can conceal their aura.
They wandered around, looking for what they wanted.
Obviously, this is a small underground trade fair, and almost all the visitors are cultivators in the middle three realms.
There are the least number of cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and the majority are cultivators in the Spirit Transformation stage, followed by cultivators in the Void Refining stage.
However, the transactions here are basically based on fragments of laws, while the rest of the wonders of heaven and earth are more like an add-on.
The great laws that are rarely seen in the outside world have actually formed a complete industrial chain here and can be traded.
It's really amazing.
Luo Yan walked through the crowd and came to a stall. He stopped and asked, "What does this law fragment reservation mean?"
The stall owner is just a stone puppet, not a real cultivator. Obviously, there are great risks in doing this kind of business, and he is afraid of being leaked and retaliated against, so he disguises himself like this.
"The guest doesn't seem to have the amulet on him?"
The stone puppet responded with a buzzing sound, and glanced at Zhong Ning intentionally or unintentionally. The combination of the big and the small naturally made people feel weird.
Luo Yan did not comment, not caring about his identity being exposed, and said in a light tone: "What if there is a talisman? What if there is no talisman?"
The stone puppet looked at the two people in front of him and felt that their aura was ethereal and close at hand, yet it seemed as if it was nothing.
Such a hazy and dreamy aura clearly shows that he is of high status.
So he hesitated for a moment, then said, "According to the rules, without an introduction from an old friend, you cannot enter here without a talisman, and you are not qualified to know these things."
"But the guest is so impressive, I guess he is someone of great importance. I don't want to offend him unintentionally, so I'll just tell him."
The stone puppet's eyes glowed with gray light, transforming into a strange beam of light, trying to detect the specific aura of the Taoist in green.
Unfortunately, it was easily blocked by the Taoist aura emitted by Luo Yan.
It was only after seeing this scene that the Stone Puppet decided to reveal something.
However, he still conveyed the happenings here in a very obscure way.
In the center of the deserted island, more than a dozen great masters in the Void Refinement Realm gathered together to discuss the fragments of laws in their hands and exchange them with each other.
The scene became noisy and heated for a while.
Among these people, there are not only cultivators from the Great Zhoutian Star Gate, but also sea creatures with ferocious tentacles on their heads.
"There's an outsider sneaking in!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, breaking the lively atmosphere.
‘Wow! ’
A ripple-like spiritual light bloomed, and then projected the figure of the Taoist in front of the stone puppet.
A real-time picture suddenly appeared in the void in front of everyone.
But at this moment, the Taoist in green, who was illuminated by the spiritual light, raised his eyes and glanced lightly at the void.
Immediately afterwards, the picture revealed by the blooming spiritual light collapsed instantly.
"Who exactly is this Taoist in green? Why is he so special?"
That faint gaze was seen by everyone present, and they only felt a sense of emptiness and ethereality.
"Well? Shall we arrest him?"
"If he leaks the information here, it will probably cause us a lot of trouble."
A person shrouded in shadows spoke.
"no!"
"This Taoist in green was able to sneak in easily and evade our observation. He must be someone of high status. We cannot fall out with such a person!"
The figure next to him replied, and judging from the heaviness of his voice, it seemed that he was an old man.
They are open for business, not to fight with anyone. This is a matter of principle!
"I don't agree with this view either, because that person was able to sneak in quietly, not only without triggering the outer forbidden magic circle, but also without being sensed by you and me."
"For a person like this, I think even if we all join forces, the result won't be much better." (End of this chapter)
