Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 486 Turmoil
Another row of disciples from Futu Island appeared and handed trays into the prison, on which were elixirs that could restore spiritual consciousness and magical powers.

Even the prison array formation was reversed, with the towering trees feeding back spiritual energy and increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the prison, reaching the level of a third-order or even fourth-order spiritual vein in a short period of time.

Qingyangzi was introduced lightly to the outside world.

Many of these pills have powerful medicinal properties that can fully tap one's potential, so it is no problem for one to fight for several hours at peak condition.

He repeatedly reminded all the elite challengers that if they couldn't hold on any longer, they could just shout "quit" and they would be moved out of the cave by the towering trees.

Fifty elites who are preparing to pass the test are eager to try and show their skills in front of the cultivators from the East China Sea.

Lu Ye was thinking, there were more than 20 people on the deserted island yesterday, each with his own channel.

In one night, those who were good at selling second-hand information should have sold it out long ago, and it should have reached the ears of the cultivators on the scene soon, right?
That's what he was thinking.

Looking at the leaves on the outer leaves, there were many monks whispering to each other, with shocked expressions on their faces, using their spiritual consciousness to transmit sounds, and looking at the towering tree with doubtful eyes.

Soon, the commotion spread to the leaves where Lu Ye was.

A casual cultivator came over with a sneaky look in his eyes to sell information, saying that he had inside information about yesterday's battle performance of the Ladder of Inquiry, and offered a thousand spirit stones for it.

Lu Ye directly rejected this information that had been passed on countless times.

Just a moment.

Another casual cultivator came over with a servile smile and tried to sell his product, asking for five hundred spirit stones.

Both Lu Ye and Bai Cao Jushi refused.

However, Master Wang was moved. Looking at the astonished expressions of the other cultivators behind him, he felt that he had missed out on something earth-shattering.

However, seeing that Lu Ye and Baicao Jushi were calm and composed, as if they were trying to avoid being cheated, he felt embarrassed to make a move.

Until another casual cultivator came over and shouted, "It's a price that will break my ankle." He cut his ankle with a knife and said, "I won't sell it at that price anymore. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it again." He asked for a hundred spirit stones.

Master Wang couldn't help it any longer, so he stretched out his hand to pull the man over and threw a hundred spirit stones over to him.

"It's just the price of a talisman!"

"I want to see what shocking news it is!"

The other cultivators in the Leaf Sect all donated generously, and the foundation-building cultivator was able to take out a hundred spirit stones without blinking an eye.

The casual cultivator received a hundred spirit stones, and swiftly handed over a jade slip, also telling him that it was best for him to read it alone.

As soon as Master Wang was in his hands, Lu Ye and Baicao Jushi shamelessly sandwiched him on both sides.

He said helplessly, "Let's watch it together."

The three people's spiritual consciousness probed into the jade slip at the same time.

"What..." Master Wang exclaimed in surprise and quickly covered his mouth.

The three of them communicated with each other through their spiritual consciousness.

"Was the strength of the Ladder of Inquiry adjusted yesterday?"

"No, how could Master Futu be so unwise?"

Master Wang looked unhappy. He was having dinner with Futudao.

If this news is true, it will be a major blow to the reputation of Futu Island.

He firmly refused to believe it and could not believe it.

The next moment, another casual cultivator came over and claimed that he could bargain for a bargain price. He had some shocking inside information about the Ladder of Inquiry, and asked for fifty spirit stones.

Snapped!
Master Wang slapped him directly on the face.

"roll!"

At this time, such things happened frequently on the surrounding leaves.

However, there are still those bold independent cultivators who rush forward, undercut each other's prices, and are almost cutting off the top-secret information.

Lu Ye felt happy.

This is the advantage of selling to many people at once. No matter how big the secret is, the price will go down when more people know about it.

Huh?
Does this count as a crowdfunding cut?

Under the towering trees.

Prince Honghe sat upright on a leaf, rubbing his hands together, thinking about how he would slaughter his opponent in the Hundred Trees Cave today.

Suddenly, an attendant came timidly to report.

"Prince, a casual cultivator just came over and said he wanted to sell top-secret information about yesterday's Heart-Searching Ladder Trial. Should we buy it or not?"

"Hmm? How much do you want?"

"Uh... ten spirit stones."

Snapped!
Prince Honghe slapped him away without hesitation.

Ten spirit stones, is this a humiliation to the Evil God Temple?
How can it be considered top secret information if you don’t add a “wan” at the end?
However, he noticed the commotion among the cultivators behind him, and reached out to grab the follower.

"Go buy it!"

After a while.

Prince Honghe's brows first wrinkled into knots, then relaxed, and then wrinkled again.

The aura on his body surged and then fell, and murderous intent was rising, scaring the followers around him so much that they lowered their heads like quails.

Click.

He crushed the jade slip worth five spirit stones with one palm and sneered.

"Okay, Futu Island, very good!"

Prince Honghe believed it immediately, even though this so-called "top secret information" was worth only ten spirit stones.

It really doesn't suit his status.

But he himself has extraordinary talent and has overwhelmed the Temple of Evil God. What kind of genius master has he not seen?

No one can beat me, so how come I can't beat a little-known Nascent Soul cultivator from Futu Island on the Ladder of Inquiry?
What’s even more hateful is that this person has a broken arm, so there is no suitable reason to compete with him.

Thinking back to yesterday when I rushed up the ladder, it was indeed difficult at first but then became easier. I thought that my state of mind had improved.

Thinking back carefully, it might have been a fantasy when I was exhausted.

In fact, the pressure on the ladder has been relaxed and returned to the normal level. No, it may be a few points lower than the normal intensity.

It turns out it’s not my fault, it’s Futu Island’s fault!
He was suddenly in a good mood, and a strange smile appeared on his face - Futu Island, good, very good!
at the same time.

Others such as Prince Long Bing of the King Snake Palace, Yin Yijia of the Void Valley, Marshal Bufan of the Sea Eye Sect, Jian Qiuyi of the Chaoyang Sword Sect, Jin Tianwang of the Jinding Sect, Nangong Xing of the Nanliu Sect, and Wan Caiyi of the Sea Shamen also received "shocking information" worth ten spirit stones.

The expressions of some of them were arrogant, annoyed, calm, or gritting their teeth.

He first cursed the old Buddha a hundred or eighty times in hatred, and then turned around and thought about how to cause trouble for Buddha Island.

Even Yin Yiji from the Void Valley, who had always been on good terms with Futu Island, was no longer calm.

We treat you as an ally, and you just trample on your allies like this?

However, the noise from the cultivators in the field immediately affected the Four Yuanyings of Futu Island who were overlooking the place.

Qingyangzi frowned and waved his hand.

A Jindan disciple immediately flew up from below.

"Go check, why are the cultivators off the field making so much noise?"

The Jindan disciple took the order and left, returning a moment later with a constipated expression on his face.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Qing Yangzi asked indifferently.

On Futu Island, is he still afraid that someone will cause trouble?
The Jindan disciple shrank back and spoke awkwardly.

"I don't know which idiot below is selling some fake news, claiming that it is about the secret of my Futu Island's passing of the Heart Ladder yesterday."

Qing Yangzi and the others' faces changed when they heard this. Cheng Bingyan, who was standing nearby and was still unaware of the situation, smiled.

"What a joke! The Heart-Searching Ladder on my Futu Island is controlled by a towering tree, which has always been selfless. How could there be a problem?"

"Wait, how many spirit stones did you pay for this information?"

The Jindan disciple stretched out a trembling finger.

"A thousand spirit stones?"

The other person shook his head.

"too much."

Cheng Bingyan held her chin and smiled sweetly.

"It can't be one hundred spirit stones, right?"

The other party smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Miss, there is more."

Cheng Bingyan was really surprised.

"Can't it be ten spirit stones? That's not even enough to buy a good jade slip."

The Jindan disciple had a droopy face and his head almost dropped to the ground.

"A spiritual stone, no jade slips, it was told to me orally by a friend on a nearby island."

"It is said that yesterday the towering tree was artificially controlled to increase its power by 10%."

"First strong, then weak, the heroes are artificially controlled to stop at the 699th level, unable to break through the 700th level."

Cheng Bingyan laughed out loud.

This was the best joke she had heard in a while.

"You can even say one spiritual stone. Such a big secret must be followed by ten thousand, right?"

"Top secret information that doesn't even use jade slips, do you believe it?"

"You also said that we should be strong first and weak later. Who else can do that except for the Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Uh……"

Cheng Bingyan realized it later and turned to look at Qingyangzi and the other three.

Only then did she realize that the four people's faces were livid and their expressions were not right. Cheng Bingyan immediately shrank back, her heart beating - No way, no way? Did they really do this?

Does Dad know about this? Should I tell on him?
Wait, could it be that dad arranged this?

She became anxious and worried.

Qingyangzi, Iron Swordsman, Cloud Piercer and Du Wan communicated with each other through their telepathy, their faces looking serious.

Cheating is nothing.

The cheating was discovered and spread, and the stories were made to sound very convincing and almost identical to the facts.

This is very problematic.

Could it be that one of the four leaked the news?

The Iron Swordsman took a deep breath.

"Now, let's stabilize our position first."

"On my Futu Island, there shouldn't be such a bold person who can embarrass us."

Du Wan asked faintly.

"What if there really is someone with ulterior motives like this?"

Qingyangzi sneered.

"Then don't admit it. If Futu Island does something wrong, it will be wrong to the end!"

"Do they still expect us to apologize?"

"That depends on how sharp their swords are!"

The four of them nodded. So what if Futu Island was wrong? Who dared to stand up and point it out? Even if someone stood up, they would firmly deny it. What could they do to me?
As for the island's reputation.

Humph.

The foundation of a super sect lies in its ability to transform divine treasures into divine treasures to suppress the East China Sea, not in some crappy reputation.

A good or bad reputation is just a gust of wind, like a rootless duckweed. After a few years or even decades, people will naturally forget it.

Qingyangzi turned around and controlled the Dongming Mirror.

The mirror shone brightly, as if a sun was hanging in the sky, with countless rays of light shooting out and covering the entire island.

"quiet!"

Qing Yangzi's voice shook the whole audience, and his face showed majesty without even being angry.

"Everyone, there are some rumors in the field, please defend yourself carefully!"

"How can the information bought with a few spirit stones be true news?"

"Everyone, just wait for the second level to begin!"

"Also, my Futu Island will never let anyone who spreads rumors go!"

He just downplayed the matter and planned to cover it up.

The cultivators below were buzzing with discussion, but no one chose to fight head-on with Futu Island.

Everyone is not stupid.

Today I lost the noodles of Futu Island.

What you may be afraid of losing tomorrow is your own life.

If one doesn't have a divine treasure at home and isn't a core member of a major sect, who would dare to speak out and make a fuss?
There was silence.

But Yin Yiji from Xukong Valley stood up first and bowed to Qingyangzi.

The cultivators in the field were in commotion, and many of them had looks of anticipating a good show on their faces. It was unknown how many cultivators were shouting in their hearts to start a fight, after all, it was no big deal to watch the fun!
Everyone knows that Void Valley and Futu Island have always been on good terms.

I wonder if Yin Yijia will come to the rescue or embarrass Futu Island?

Qingyangzi also became inexplicably nervous.

"Brother Qingyang..." Yin Yijia said seriously, "These are just some rumors, not worth mentioning!"

"As cultivators, we should not believe in rumors, but should also be fair and just."

"There was nothing wrong with the competition on the Ladder of Integrity yesterday."

Qingyangzi was overjoyed.

Well, Void Valley is indeed on good terms with my Futu Island ally, and came out to rescue us at the critical moment.

The other geniuses all showed disdain on their faces.

What is Yin Yiji? Doesn’t he seem that good?

There's nothing wrong with you keeping silent, but it's wrong to stand up and defend Futu Island.

Many of the cultivators in the field showed disdain on their faces, and there were even occasional whistles and boos.

Yin Yijia was not annoyed.

Futu Island is an ally of Void Valley. If he does not come forward to support it, he is not considering the overall situation.

But there is always a resentment in my heart that is hard to get rid of!
he snapped.

"Brother Qingyang, I was very dissatisfied that we didn't win yesterday."

"Today, I dare you to give me two Nascent Soul villains. I will kill them one by one in the shortest time possible!"

Some of the geniuses from the nearby sects still didn't understand why Yin Yijia suddenly talked about the second level again.

Shuai Bufan’s eyes lit up.

The sect leader said that the reason so many Yuanying Jindan cultivators were imprisoned in Baishu Cave under Futu Island was not purely for the purpose of suppressing evil.

Instead, the towering tree has a function that can absorb people's magic power, making these Nascent Soul prisoners become members of the formation.

Even if the physical body dies, as long as the Nascent Soul is not dead, it will be captured by the formation and transformed into a tree infant. It will not be until its energy is completely sucked dry that it will turn into a void and truly die. It is really vicious.

Moreover, it can provide practical training for disciples on weekdays.

If anyone could take away all those Jindan Yuanying prisoners and tree babies in Baishu Cave, Futu Island would probably not be able to recover within a hundred years.

“Brother Qingyang!” Shuai Bufan reacted and stepped forward, saying, “I want to fight three of them!”

He even moved it up one notch.

Prince Hong He was a little slow to realize what was happening. He looked at Prince Long Bing coldly and snorted.

"My Evil Temple is going to fight four of them!"

This time he really wasn't angry.

Prince Long Bing slammed the table angrily.

"Is my King Snake Palace afraid of you?"

"I'm going to beat five of them!"

Jian Qiuyi, Jin Tianwang, Nangong Xing and Wan Caiyi looked at each other. They didn't have any magical treasures at home.

So the four of them advanced and retreated together.

"Brother Qingyang, we are not greedy."

"Two for each person is enough."

Over there, Prince Hong He sneered at Prince Long Bing.

"Then that's good."

"You and I, General Yin, there are four of us, each of us will fight five Yuanying opponents."

"There are four Jian Jin Nan Wan. If one of them gets one less point, it will be enough to get four."

Qingyangzi felt so uncomfortable after hearing this that he wanted to vomit blood.

Do you think Nascent Soul cultivators are cabbages?

There are only twenty large rooms in the Jiazi Prison, and even if they are full of Nascent Soul cultivators, there are only twenty of them.

It took the True Man Futu and his seven disciples hundreds of years of hard work to capture these Nascent Soul villains one by one.

Including the tree babies, there are only about forty of them in total.

The twenty-odd tree babies are gifts left by the ancestors and predecessors of all generations. The tree babies will not last forever and will gradually disintegrate.

The spiritual wisdom will be absorbed by the towering trees, so it is definitely not wasted.

Today, the geniuses of the four super sects and four sects bowed together and spoke politely. Hiss, you don’t want to dig up the roots of the towering tree, do you?

He was hesitating.

A voice of "Yes" came from the sea of ​​consciousness!
Qingyangzi no longer hesitated, knowing that his master had made the final decision.

The eight people are angry and want to vent, so let them vent their anger.

Futu Island has paid the price, the eight families have vented their anger, and the matter has to be put to rest, and no one is allowed to hold anyone accountable.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Qing Yangzi nodded decisively.

He was so straightforward that everyone couldn't get angry, so they sat back one by one.

After what happened today, the atmosphere was awkward.

The four Yuanying of Futu and the eight Tianjiao all closed their eyes and practiced quietly. The cultivators below tried hard to suppress their restless whispers, their spiritual consciousness flying all over the sky, waiting to watch the show.

Everyone was guessing what the Eight Prodigies would do once they entered the cave.

When the golden sun rose high into the sky, Qing Yangzi suddenly opened his eyes.

He didn't say anything more, knowing that there was no point in saying more, so he just waved his hand.

"Go into the cave!"

He passed the first level with fifty cultivators and without hesitation, used his escape light to rush straight into the Hundred Trees Cave.
