Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 522 Repudiation
Lu Ye frowned and pretended to be thinking.

This is a rare time when I am willing to pay spirit stones to trade goods fairly.

Who would have thought that the owner of the goods was willing to give it away, on the condition that I help him do something.

But everyone knows that free things are more expensive.

Go and see Cang Qiu Ke, he is still working hard for himself. He hasn’t encountered any dangerous situations now, but it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.

Especially Scholar Kong Kong, he himself is the fourth biggest thief, and he can't handle the situation, so he needs help, which is obviously a very important favor.

Lu Ye had already refused in his heart, and he shook his head without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist, I am afraid of trouble. I like to live a carefree life and I have always been alone."

"Let's talk about the price of Xuankong Crystal Spirit Stone."

"Things that can make you feel troubled are probably not simple things."

"I'm afraid that I might fail to help you and end up losing my own life."

Scholar Kong Kong's face froze, anger flashed in his eyes. He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Lu Ye with narrowed eyes, his eyes were a little creepy.

Lu Ye looked back without any hesitation. He made two preparations. One was to escape after the falling out, the other was to transform into a Dharma Fruit.

He had used this thing to kill Jialuoding and Madam Jiuchai, so now it could be used to kill a few more Nascent Souls.

As long as all the Yuanyings on the island are dead, won’t the remaining Jindan be killed by Achou?

I have even killed Madam Jiuchai, the number one thief, let alone you, a mere number four?

The two sides stared at each other with eyes as sharp as arrows, and there was also a contest of spiritual consciousness. Although they did not use their full strength, there were flashes of swords and sabers, and murderous intent was hidden in the exchanges.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to be frozen.

Scholar Kongkong was secretly shocked when he saw the Taoist priest Bajiao opposite him showing no fear at all.

Venerable Hai Jing is a cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage and one of the chief managers of Sihai Tower, responsible for the affairs of more than a dozen sea areas.

For example, Futu Island, Void Valley and several sea areas of Nanliu Sect in the south are all under its jurisdiction.

Futu Island and Void Valley are the two top sects in the East China Sea. Nanliu Sect is a large sect without the foundation of Nascent Soul cultivators, but it is not inferior to other top sects in terms of producing Nascent Soul cultivators.

It is conceivable that Venerable Hai Jing is in charge of this area, and he is very powerful, and the guests he usually receives are distinguished.

This Taoist priest Bajiao possessed a secret technique that enabled him to block his magic hand. Although his spiritual awareness and cultivation seemed to be only at the initial stage of Nascent Soul, how could he know that he had no trump card?
He is so tough.

Either he himself is extraordinary, or his relatives and friends are extraordinary.

What he said about being a loner and a free-spirited wanderer is just for show. I'm afraid he is some big sect member who has disguised himself to do this?
The more Kong Kong Xiucai thought about it, the murderous intent in his heart gradually subsided.

The murderous intent has disappeared, but the anger remains.

Who is he?
He was a wealthy man who even dared to visit Nanliu Sect, break into the island's formation, and steal a small part of its treasury in one night. How could he show weakness so easily?
Although he had obtained intelligence when he went there that time and knew that there were only one or two Yuanying guarding the island, and he succeeded because he missed the target, he was able to pass through the defensive formation without alerting others and even broke the protective formation of the treasury, which showed his ability.

"Daoyou..." Kongkong Xiucai's voice turned cold and he said slowly, "You make it very difficult for me to do this..."

"I have Xuankong Crystal, but I don't sell it to just anyone."

"But you are a good friend who introduced me here. It would be too hurtful to reject my suggestion directly. How about this? I will ask you for some information. I will not ask in vain and exchange it for Xuankong Crystal."

"Each question is worth one ounce of Xuankong Crystal. If you can answer it, we can consider a deal later. How do you think?"

Lu Ye's heart moved, this guy was throwing bait.

What questions could the other party ask?

I am using the channel of Venerable Hai Jing from Sihai Tower. Could this be related to the problem?

Fortunately, he had already searched Venerable Hai Jing's soul and retrieved all his memories.

There are some secrets that Hai Jing would rather die than let others know.

But he doesn't mind.

Lu Ye has decided to sell Haijing and Sihailou for a good price, he said with a smile.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, you can go ahead and say whatever you want."

"If I knew, I would tell you everything I know."

"But first I want to ask, how many questions do you have?"

“There can’t be endless questions, right?”

"Also, if I am willing to answer, I need to see the goods in person. You cannot ask me where I got the information. It is also your job to verify whether it is true or not."

Lu Ye was worried that this guy would pull him in, and he would not give him the Xuan Kong Crystal after asking him seven or eight questions; or if he gave him the Xuan Kong Crystal, he would turn against him and kill him, wanting to keep both the person and the property.

Scholar Kong Kong thought for a while before speaking slowly.

"I have three questions."

"In addition, I also have intelligence channels that can verify the truth, so don't worry about it."

He waved his sleeves again, and three crystal jade bottles appeared in front of him. In each bottle was a small ball of deep purple crystal sand that was as bright as a gem.

"Fellow Daoist, please inspect the goods first..."

Lu Ye casually took a bottle. It felt heavy in his hand. Even though it was just a small drop, it weighed at least one or two pounds.

As the magic power surged in, the crystal sand inside immediately poured out.

He summoned his magical power and turned a tiny drop of crystal sand into a large hollow ball about ten feet in diameter. He saw that the large ball of crystal sand was composed of extremely tiny grains.

Lu Ye casually threw a magic hairpin into the Xuankong crystal ball. It originally came in from the east, but finally turned a corner and came out from the south. The moment it came out, the hairpin shattered and turned into a pile of powder.

He nodded with satisfaction.

Xuankong Crystal Sand can be used to build a teleportation array, which has the ability to travel through space. Therefore, the hairpin magic weapon entered from the east and exited from the south. However, because it was just a magic weapon, it could not withstand the contamination of the space force and was shattered as soon as it flashed out of the ball.

Moreover, Lu Ye noticed that according to his control of speed, the hairpin magic weapon came out a breath faster. It was obvious that it was intercepted "in vain" in the Xuankong Crystal Ball and flew a shorter distance.

Everything proves that the bottle of crystal sand that Lu Ye randomly selected is indeed Xuankong Crystal.

A bottle of crystal sand weighs one ounce, and Lu Ye needs ten bottles to make up one pound.

As Venerable Hai Jing said, Scholar Kong Kong possesses a Xuankong Crystal Vein, which allows him to carry so many treasures with him.

However, Xuankong Crystal is precious, with only a small amount produced each year. In addition, the major sects intentionally control it, so there is even less on the market.

Lu Ye thought maliciously that Kong Kong Xiucai, the sole supplier, might not be able to earn the majority of the profits, right?

"That's right!" He waved his hand, and the jade bottle returned to Scholar Kong Kong. "Fellow Daoist, you are trustworthy. This is indeed the real Xuan Kong Crystal."

"If you have any questions, ask them, but what I know is what you know."

Scholar Kong Kong was very happy.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, happy!"

"The first thing I asked was about one of the chief managers of Sihai Tower, the former Lord of the Southern Region, Venerable Hai Jing."

"Why did he fall and die?"

Lu Ye pretended to be embarrassed.

"Hey, fellow Taoist, why is this the question?"

"Change one, change another. This cannot be discussed or mentioned."

"Venerable Hai Jing is my best friend. How could I betray my best friend's information?"

"Not suitable, not appropriate, not worthy of being a son, not worthy..."

After hearing this, Scholar Kong Kong cursed in his heart, saying that it was inappropriate, unsuitable and unworthy of a human being. In the end, he probably ended up with the word "unworthy", right?
Do you think one or two Xuankong Crystals are not enough to exchange for this information?
He waved his hand, and two bottles of Xuankong Crystal appeared in front of Lu Ye.

"Fellow Daoist, I'll give you two taels of Xuankong Crystal in exchange for letting you speak out!"

"I want to hear the details. Don't fool me."

Lu Ye wiped it casually and checked that there was no secret technique on the two jade bottles before putting them into the storage ring.

"it is good!"

"If you are straightforward, I can't be so hesitant."

"Venerable Hai Jing died because of his own foolishness..."

He told the story slowly and leisurely, saying that Venerable Hai Jing had a secret identity. He was the leader of the Seven Nights Society, True Man Dark Night. Because he was a big assassin, he got involved with the Thousand-Faced Judge of the Dragon Stealing Alliance, the Hundred-Knife Demon Net, the Demon Cloud Scorpion, and the Bloodline偃师.

After the Futu Conference that day, they set an ambush to kill Du Wan, the one-man showdown master from Futu Island. Unexpectedly, the three masters from Futu Island came out together, and finally Qingyangzi came to support them.

The Shadow Seven Killings Escape Technique that Venerable Hai Jing practiced was restrained by the Dongming Mirror, so it was penetrated by Qingyangzi's Dongming Illumination Secret Technique. His physical body was killed by the wooden stick, but his Nascent Soul escaped and its whereabouts have been unknown to this day.

"Daoyou..." Lu Ye said with a smile, "Have I explained it in detail enough?"

"Do you think these two taels of Xuankong Crystal are worth it?" Scholar Kongkong nodded in shock.

It’s worth it. It’s so damn worth it!

This is more than just details.
It's as if he was personally involved in the incident.

He had the information about the four Yuanying of the Dragon Stealing Alliance, and he also had the information about Futu Island, but he had always been missing the key link and could not connect them.

Now with the death of Venerable Hai Jing, the puzzle is complete and the logic is reasonable.

He was able to judge that the information was accurate.

Scholar Kong Kong immediately asked impatiently.

"Okay, fellow Daoist, my second question is that the Dragon Seizing Alliance and Futu Island have been fighting frequently in recent years. Previously, there was a fight around Du Wan's tomb, and the Demon Cloud Scorpion also died as a result."

"What are they doing? Are there any clues related to the Dragon Palace?"

"What does Master Du Wan have in his hand?"

Lu Ye smiled.

"Fellow Daoist, you have so many questions."

“That’s at least two questions, right?”

Scholar Kong Kong waved his hand, and a bottle of Xuan Kong Crystal appeared beside him.

"It's just two questions. If you can answer them, they'll all be yours..."

Lu Ye looked around the hall and smiled.

"Fellow Daoist, this is our first time meeting. People say it's taboo to talk about deep things with someone you just met."

"Your inquiry is actually top secret information."

"I also know that you are the fastest among the thirty-six thieves in flying within three miles."

"It's about three miles from here to the outer edge of the island."

"You have three questions, but each of your questions is a little too much."

"Why don't you stay here and let your disciple Dao Wujiu take four bottles of Xuankong Crystal Jade Bottles and follow me to the outside of the island."

"I will give you the information. If you agree, can you let that disciple hand over the Xuankong Crystal Jade Bottle to me?"

"This way you can ask anytime, and I can get the Xuankong Crystal anytime, saving you the trouble of running around."

"You don't have to worry about me fooling you. I don't think any monk would offend the Thirty-Six Thieves Kong Kong Scholar for no reason."

Lu Ye added in his heart, unless I can run very fast and wear a vest.

He flipped his hand and a talisman appeared.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a look. This talisman is just an ordinary third-level immobilization talisman. It has a miraculous effect on Jindan cultivators, but it has no effect on me, a Yuanying cultivator. It can only leave a mark. The caster can sense the location of the affected person within a few miles."

"I will use this talisman on you, and I will know your location."

"You stay on the island and don't move, so that I can rest assured."

Scholar Kong Kong thought for a moment and said yes.

So he called countless thieves in, gave them a few instructions, collected four bottles of Xuankong Crystal from the storage ring and gave them to the disciple. At the same time, he gave him a jade pendant for sound transmission so that the two could communicate with each other.

Lu Ye used a talisman to immobilize Kong Kong Xiucai, leaving a mark on him. He followed the thieves back the same way, out of the island, and only stopped outside the formation.

He held up the jade pendant with both hands respectfully, and the voice of Kong Kong Xiucai came from it.

"Fellow Daoist, can you tell me now?"

Lu Ye said straightforwardly.

"The dispute between Futu Island and the Dragon Seizing Alliance is indeed over the Dragon Palace Immortal Mansion."

"Master Du Wan is a traitor in this matter."

"His foundation was damaged, so he sought help from Master Futu Zhenren, who wanted to use the marrow of the towering tree to repair his foundation."

"That was the critical time for the evolution of the towering tree, and it needed to awaken its spiritual wisdom, so Master Futu did not do as he wished."

"Du Wan was fighting a powerful enemy outside before, and he accidentally got a clue about the Dragon Palace. He reported nine truths and one lie to his superiors, concealing the key information."

"I have been secretly recruiting people for the organization, including some of the Thirty-Six Thieves, such as the Double-Winged Snake, the Yin-Yang Blade, and the Silver-Handed Scholar."

"He found most of the clues to the Dragon Palace and obtained two pieces of the Red Dragon True Lord's shed dragon scale fragments."

"Gathering all three fragments will give you the map of the Dragon Palace of the Red Dragon Master. The Dragon Snatchers also got this information, so they deliberately set up an ambush to kill him. When that failed, they went to look for the relics in the fragments in his cenotaph."

“That’s where this comes from.”

Lu Ye had no intention of hiding any information for the Dragon Stealing Alliance.

All the cultivators of the Dragon Stealing Alliance are dead, what does it have to do with him?
Besides, we have been eating the melons from Futu Island and Duolongmeng for almost ten years, but there is still no definite news. This is not good.

Lu Ye didn't mind promoting them and adding fuel to the fire.

The voice of Scholar Kong Kong, who was surprised, came from the jade pendant.

"Countless, give the two jade bottles to fellow Taoists!"

"This information is true!"

Kong Kong Xiucai has his own intelligence channels. Except for the uncertainties in key areas, most of what Lu Ye said can correspond to the information he has.

It turns out that Futu Island and the Dragon-stealing Alliance are indeed competing for clues to the Dragon Palace.

And Du Wan plays such a key role.

While Lu Ye was telling the story, Kong Kong Xiucai, who was marked by a talisman, had been staying in the hall and had not moved.

If he escapes, Lu Ye will be the first to know.

The other party did not cheat and Lu Ye also dealt honestly.

But Lu Ye had already opened the perspective of the Fish and Dragon Diagram. He noticed that although Scholar Kong Kong did not move, after he answered the second question, three Yuanying monks had already left the hall.

Three clusters of light were moving forward, preparing to leave the island head-on, and it seemed their route was heading straight for Luye.

The other two light balls came out from the side and made a large circle. Judging from their trajectories, they were clearly preparing to intercept from behind.

Among them, the Nascent Soul in the light group in front was not moving very fast, but the speed of the other two Nascent Soul cultivators escaping from the side was extremely fast.

According to normal calculations, after dozens of breaths, the three will finally converge at one point, which is exactly where Lu Ye is standing.

This is preparation for making dumplings.

Scholar Kong Kong paid four bottles of Xuan Kong Crystal and heard two pieces of top-secret information. Is he a robber or is he planning to default on his debt?

It looks like he's going to play some dirty tricks.

Lu Ye sighed, realizing that one really shouldn't have too high hopes for Jie Xiu.

I originally wanted to pay with spirit stones, but I could only rob them.

Thief Wuji followed his master's instructions and respectfully took out two jade bottles of Xuankong Crystal from his storage ring and handed them to Lu Ye.

The voice of Kong Kong Xiucai coming from the jade pendant has become very urgent.

"Fellow Daoist, I have one last question."

"Who has the three pieces of dragon scale fragments?"

Lu Ye smiled brilliantly at the thieves, then suddenly jumped up and chopped down with the banana fan transformed by the killing sword!
He suddenly turned hostile.

"Ask your mother!"

The cold light flashed in the night and across the sky, very conspicuous.

The sound transmission jade pendant is broken!
The countless thieves who were bending over with jade pendants in their hands never expected that this Nascent Soul cultivator would turn against them so suddenly under their master's feet, and actually launch a sneak attack by bullying the weak.

A line of blood appeared from his forehead to his crotch. With a scream, his body was split into two and flew to the left and right. He died instantly.

Lu Ye snatched the storage ring away, and his magic power surged in. He removed the restrictions outside with ease and took out two jade bottles of Xuankong Crystal.

His whole body was wrapped in lightning and he turned into a streak of lightning and fled into the distance.

A thunderous roar was heard behind him, and a huge figure like an iron tower monk was clumsy and hard to catch up with.

In the hall of the island, Scholar Kong Kong was caught off guard by this change. He rushed out like lightning, but it was too late.

Two beams of light suddenly appeared in the air on both sides. Seeing the sudden change, they did not bother to hide their figures and appeared suddenly.

One of them was the fastest and followed Lu Ye's escape light closely all the way.
