Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

Spring Basin.

As its name suggests, once you enter, you'll see streams of clear springs flowing by.

Yuan Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "We've finally arrived. This place is indeed refreshing, which makes me feel much more relaxed."

"It's really good."

Zhang Lingshan said, "Then let's find a place to stay as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Yuan Jun responded and immediately put away the directional ball.

Although the directional sphere represents their status and can earn them respect in the Ghost King's Domain, it is also dangerous and can bring troubles like the Wish-Fulfilling Vajra.

Therefore, Yuan Jun dared not flaunt this item anymore.

After all, Zhang Lingshan had said to keep a low profile and not want to kill anyone anymore. If he continued to flaunt his abilities, wouldn't he be disobeying his master's orders?

Just as he put away the directional ball and looked around, wondering where to go, a woman suddenly strode up from a distance, cupped her hands, and said, "Gentlemen, are you new to our Quan River region?"

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Lingshan asked.

At this moment, he has changed his appearance. He no longer has Chen Junhao's face, but a mixture of ghosts and demons, including Hu Gui.

They simply removed their sinister appearance and instead depicted them as living, breathing people.

Yuan Jun had said that Chen Junhao and his wife lived in the Quanliu area. If he continued to come here using Chen Junhao's face, it would definitely seem strange and would not fit his current low-key style.

Therefore, his current state is a unique form that has been reconstituted, and he does not conflict with anyone; he is essentially a new person.

"Is such that."

The woman said, "I am a manager under the White-browed True Lord of the Spring Stream Region. If this is your first time here, you must find a place to stay. We, the White-browed True Lord, have many plots of land. You can live there and only need to pay a small, negligible rent."

Zhang Lingshan and Yuan Jun both frowned.

"You still want to pay rent? Didn't you say there's plenty of vacant land here, and anyone can live here?"

Zhang Lingshan said.

Yuan Jun hurriedly said, "Yes, this is completely different from what I heard. What's going on?"

The young woman smiled slightly and said, "In the beginning, the Spring Basin was indeed full of unclaimed land."

"However, as more and more people came in, various conflicts arose."

"Our White-Browed True Lord personally took action, demarcating a safe zone and rules. Anyone who enters is protected by our White-Browed True Lord and is not allowed to fight."

"This brought stability to the Quan River basin."

"So, the rent you pay is actually a good deal. Not only do you have a place to live, but you also receive the protection of our White-Browed True Lord."

The woman smiled broadly, her face beaming with pride and self-satisfaction, as if serving the White-Browed True Lord was a great honor for her.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingshan suddenly realized and said, "So it's protection money. Hehe."

Yuan Jun immediately understood what his master meant and said, "We can protect ourselves and don't need the protection of the White-Browed True Lord. You can leave now."

The young woman wasn't annoyed, but continued with a smile, "In that case, I'll be going now. But if you still need the protection of our White-Browed True Lord later, you can contact me using this jade token. Good luck."

After saying that, she swayed her hips and walked away with a confident smile on her face.

It seemed she was certain that Zhang Lingshan and the other person would come back to find her.

“Master, it seems that this Spring Basin is not as good as rumored. I have been deceived by Chen Junhao.”

Yuan Jun said indignantly.

Chen Junhao said this place is so free, there's land everywhere, you can live anywhere, and there are no disputes, it's quiet and peaceful, and the air is sweet.

In short, the other party raved about this place, making it incredibly appealing to me.

As soon as they entered, they were met with a cold shower.

What freedom, what living space you can have? That's all bullshit.

The woman demanded protection money from them the moment she opened her mouth, and she was so confident that they would obey. This shows that this place is not peaceful and tranquil at all, but rather very dangerous.

"Can you get in touch with Chen Junhao?"

Zhang Lingshan asked.

From the moment the couple blocked his way, he wanted to kill them.

If we could just find the two of them, kill them, and take over their land, wouldn't that be much easier?

pity.

Yuan Jun shook his head: "We just met by chance and can't get in touch. Besides, everyone is robbing and making a living in the inter-domain storm zone, and no one will reveal their true identity. I even suspect that the two of them might be bluffing and don't actually live in the Spring Stream Domain."

"Then forget it. Let's ask around and see what's going on here," Zhang Lingshan said.

Actually, he originally planned to let Yuan Jun go and inquire alone, while he sat cross-legged here quietly for a while.

but.

When he looked around, he saw that there were many people wandering around, but no one was sitting cross-legged to cultivate. He knew that this place was not suitable for cultivation.

Otherwise, why don't these people sit down and adjust their breathing when they clearly look very tired?
There must be something wrong.

We don't know the specifics of the problem yet, so it's best to ask Yuan Jun for details first.

Although Zhang Lingshan alone could wipe out everyone around him, he still had to keep a low profile to avoid committing a major crime that would attract the attention of the Quanliu Domain Lord and eventually the Realm Lord.

If there's really no other way, and the problem can be solved with money, then let's solve it with money.

In short, keep a low profile.

"This brother."

Zhang Lingshan saw a middle-aged man pacing alone, looking tired. He cupped his hands in greeting and called out to him.

The middle-aged man quickly took a step back, then asked warily, "What do you want?"

Zhang Lingshan said, "Seeing how tired you look, and considering how pure the spiritual energy of this spring region is, why not meditate and cultivate to absorb this spiritual energy and restore your spirit?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's wariness lessened slightly, and he said, "You've just arrived in the Quan River Basin, haven't you?"

"Brother, you truly have discerning eyes. Indeed," Zhang Lingshan said.

The middle-aged man said, "You two have traveled a long way, so you must understand that knowledge is very precious in this world. Therefore, I cannot tell you everything I know for nothing."

"clear."

Zhang Lingshan smiled slightly, tossed out a small porcelain bottle, and said, "You seem exhausted. I happen to have some pills here to restore your energy. After you take them and regain your energy, you will naturally be able to answer our questions more effectively."

"Hahaha, so generous!"

The middle-aged man was overjoyed. He immediately opened the stopper, smelled the fragrance of the pill, and knew that it could indeed restore mental energy. He quickly poured out one pill, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it rapidly.

However, he still did not sit down cross-legged to refine the energy, but stood up and carefully circulated his energy to refine it.

It was as if there were nails stuck in his buttocks on the ground, making him afraid to sit down at any time.

Zhang Lingshan looked at him quietly.

After a moment, the middle-aged man finally felt he had had enough. He took a deep breath and said, "It's actually the White Lotus Tranquilizing Pill. Your generosity is truly admirable. In that case, I won't hold back anymore. In short, we can't cultivate in this place."

"Why?" Zhang Lingshan asked.

The middle-aged man said, "See that ring of rivers? Only after crossing that ring of rivers can you truly enter the Spring Stream Domain. What we are in now is the outer perimeter, the turbid stream. The spiritual energy of the turbid stream may seem pure, but once you absorb it, you'll know that it will hinder your cultivation."

After saying that, he pointed to the ground and said, "Especially on this ground, never sit or lie down. The turbid ground is a dirty swamp, and that turbid air will enter your meridians along your skin. Only by constantly moving around can you get rid of this turbid air."

As he spoke, he began pacing back and forth, seemingly to prove his point through his actions.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingshan immediately and quietly released his divine sense to carefully perceive the ground.

as predicted.

The ground was indeed relatively damp, and it had a strange, indescribable smell.

If this person hadn't reminded me, I probably wouldn't have noticed it until I sat down to cultivate.

Although, given his own strength, these impure energies had little effect on him.

However, being able to detect it in advance and thus avoid being affected also saves a lot of trouble.

"I see."

Zhang Lingshan nodded and said, "But since you know this, why don't you cross that river?"

"Hahaha." The middle-aged man laughed suddenly. "Of course I'm being stopped. Do you think I don't want to go? There are so many people here, all trapped here for days. Who doesn't want to go? But to get there, we have to take a boat. And it has to be a specially made boat. Ordinary boats will sink halfway there."

Zhang Lingshan suddenly realized, "I understand now. The so-called specially made ship is the ship of the White-Browed True Lord."

The middle-aged man said, "It's not just the boat of True Monarch White Eyebrows. If you continue along the banks of the Turbid River, you'll find several other boats that you can cross. But like True Monarch White Eyebrows, you have to buy a ticket."

"What's the price?"

Zhang Lingshan asked.

He figured it must be very expensive; otherwise, why would these people prefer to walk around in the muddy waters rather than take a boat?

It should be known that those who can cross the inter-domain storm zone to get here must be Dharma Aspect Realm experts, and at least at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm. For example, someone like Dongfeng Tower Master is considered the worst.

If even such a powerful Dharma Aspect Realm expert is unwilling to take a boat, how expensive must it be?

as predicted.

The middle-aged man held up one finger and said, "A celestial artifact."

"What!?"

Yuan Jun couldn't help but shout out.

damn it.

I thought it would be expensive, but I didn't expect it to be this expensive.

Even a peak Dharma Aspect Realm expert might not necessarily possess a Celestial Artifact; it depends on opportunity, luck, and even one's background.

Most importantly, even if one possesses a celestial artifact, it must be a treasure cherished by a Dharma Aspect Realm expert; how could one casually take it out to buy a boat ticket?

"With a magical artifact, where can't you go? Why do you need to buy a boat ticket here?"

Yuan Jun couldn't help but say.

Before he could finish speaking, someone rushed out of the weak hole and traversed back to the inter-domain storm zone.

Zhang Lingshan said, "It seems that no one stopped everyone from returning to the Interdimensional Storm Zone."

The middle-aged man said, "There's no need to stop them; they'll come back. It's because the Spring Stream Region is a strange place. The surrounding inter-domain winds and waves all roll towards them. It's as if the Spring Stream Region is a deep pit, and the surrounding winds and waves are water, naturally gathering towards this deep pit."

"Then you can't leave?"

Yuan Jun looked utterly devastated.

He glanced at Zhang Lingshan cautiously, afraid that Zhang Lingshan would get angry.

You should know that he was the one who recommended this spring basin to his master, which means he essentially tricked his master.

If the master gets angry, he'll definitely be punished.

hateful.

It's all the fault of Chen Junhao and his wife; they blew up the Quan River Basin with exaggerated claims and tricked us into coming here.

If I were to encounter this couple, I would tear them to pieces!
But here comes the problem.

Did this couple ever come to the Quan River basin?

If they came, how did they leave?
Why would they boast about the Quan River basin if they haven't been there?
Yuan Jun was truly baffled.

Suddenly, Zhang Lingshan said, "I heard that if we go to the White-Browed True Lord's place, we have to pay land rent, which is also a protection fee. How much is that? Is it the same price as the boat ticket?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know. The woman said it wasn't expensive, but she never mentioned the specific price. I feel that once we get on their pirate ship and go to their territory, we'll be at their mercy. At that point, forget about a magical artifact; they might even devour us alive."

Zhang Lingshan nodded: "What you say makes sense, but since we can neither advance nor retreat, what should we do? It's not a good idea for you to keep walking back and forth like this. Why don't we join forces to seize their boat and then cross the river?"

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Let me put it this way, every method you can think of has been tried by people before. But everyone is still here, so you understand why now."

Zhang Lingshan said, "I don't understand. There's no way out here. We might as well fight to the death. What's the point of just waiting here and getting cut to the bone?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "How can it be meaningless? As long as I wait, I will encounter people who share your thoughts. Perhaps, among them will be peerless experts who will kill all these villains. Hahaha, that will be our turning point."

"Cattle."

Zhang Lingshan expressed his deep admiration: "A brilliant idea. Good luck."

After saying that, he left with Yuan Jun.

However, what the middle-aged man said was not wrong; evil people need evil people to teach them a lesson.

White-browed True Lord and his group have been occupying this place, seemingly monopolizing everything, but one day their fate will be sealed.

The middle-aged man and his companions were waiting for the villain who would capsize their ship.

If Zhang Lingshan hadn't wanted to keep a low profile, he would definitely have granted these people's wishes.

but.

At this moment, he walked straight to the female steward of the White-Browed True Lord and said, "I want to rent a piece of land from the White-Browed True Lord. What is the price?"

"Hehe, you two have figured it out. As for the price, we'll have to talk about that when we get there; the price varies depending on the location." (End of Chapter)
