Chapter 179: The Demon Kills the Immortal, and the Spiritual Veins Revive

On top of the portrait.

He is a man wearing a ghost mask, with no name, only a nickname and a bounty of "Ghost-faced Devil".

The bounty was extremely high. In addition to a large amount of worldly gold and silver, it also said that as long as one could provide clues about this person, one would receive a reward from the immortals. If one could kill him, one would even be granted some magical powers.

Kill the immortal.

Is this ghost-faced old demon so ferocious?

If he had not killed enough people to scare even the immortals, why would he cooperate with mortals and post wanted posters?

Chen Sanshi and Ningxiang met up.

The news they received was similar.

Recently, there have been frequent sightings of fairies, monsters, and even strange beasts coming down the mountain to eat people near the town, causing the city of Nanxu to send people to investigate the situation, causing a big commotion.

"Let's find a place to stay first."

Chen Sanshi and his crew had to go out to sea again, but it was already late, the sunset glow illuminated half the sky, and it was about to get dark, so they could only go to the dock tomorrow to find a boat to go out to sea.

As he walked deeper into the town, he discovered through the [Aura Observation Technique] that these so-called immortals were hiding in the "streets and alleys" in disguise!
Some of them dressed up as chivalrous knights, some as local residents...

In front of a tavern, there was an old man leading a donkey. He seemed to be buying wine, but in fact, spiritual power was flowing in his body. His cloudy and old eyes emitted a light invisible to mortals, and he scanned everyone on the street.

Including Chen Sanshi and three others, no one escaped.

He guessed that it should be a spell similar to [Qi Guan Shu].

I have always been the one who sees through others, but now I am being seen through by others. This feeling makes me feel very uncomfortable...

It seems that if one really enters the world of cultivating immortals, one must find a way to hide one's cultivation.

Fortunately, there is one thing that is different.

These "immortals" need to mobilize spiritual power to spy on others.

Chen Sanshi purely used his naked eyes, which did not require him to consume any spiritual energy, so the other party was unaware.

"Old thing!"

A younger monk appeared and warned the old man, "If you keep looking around with your 'detection technique', I'll dig out your eyeballs!"

"Hehe, don't blame me, fellow Taoist."

The old man apologized again and again with a playful smile: "I am just trying to find out, maybe there will be some clues."

They spoke quietly, but they did not deliberately hide anything, which meant that what they were looking for was an open secret among the monks.

Chen Sanshi quickened his pace and prepared to go to the inn in the town to stay for the night, and then find a way to go out to sea after dawn.

In order not to attract attention, the white swan horse turned into a reddish-brown horse under Ningxiang's trick.

Ningxiang and Zhaozhao also became ordinary-looking with his disguise technique to avoid unnecessary trouble like before.

The town is not big and there is only one inn, but fortunately there are good accommodations. Chen Sanshi directly booked a yard to make things easier.

When you are away from home, you need food, clothing, housing and transportation.

After all these are arranged.

Chen Sanshi was going to buy some food. He hadn't eaten much during the long journey, so he decided to try some local specialties.

"Sir!"

The shopkeeper said, "Don't underestimate our small shop, but the food is great! We have all kinds of exotic fish and animals that warriors like."

"Is it."

Chen Sanshi asked, "Do you have any exotic animal meat to eat?"

"Yes, yes!"

The shopkeeper said proudly: "Now several surrounding cities rely on our town for supplies, and there are many hunters sent by high officials in the mountains!"

Supplying so many cities...

Chen Sanshi took the opportunity to ask, "Do you always have so many treasures here?"

"That's not true."

The shopkeeper counted on his fingers and said, "To be honest, it has only been in the past year or so that there have been more and more valuable treasures in the nearby mountains and seas. The shop is packed every day, and these heroes come here just to try something new.

"How about some general crab or croaker?"

He looked at the sword on the bald man's waist and said, "You can see that you are also a hero from the capital. That's right. Eating the meat from the store is very helpful for martial arts!"

"Boss, you are just talking, are you trying to fool people?"

Chen Sanshi deliberately said, "You have to see it with your own eyes to know whether it's good or not. Otherwise, when you cook it and serve it, won't you still ask for as much money as you want?"

"No problem, sir, follow me!"

The shopkeeper readily agreed, found some workers to look after the shop, and then led them to the house next door.

I saw that the huge yard was filled with iron cages and water tanks, which contained all kinds of exotic animals. It was a dazzling array and countless.

There were several Tongmai and one Xuanxiang in charge of the house.

really.

When such huge benefits appear, it is not the turn of the local people to reap the benefits. These people seem to be high-ranking officials or people from sects in Nanxu, including the owner of this inn, who is probably also of a very high status now.

A large number of exotic beasts.

Even Chen Sanshi, an experienced hunter, was amazed. These were all top-notch supplements. Each one of them was a priceless treasure in Dasheng and a precious resource that could not be bought with money.

There are so many of them appearing in a small town in Nanxu. No wonder so many immortals gather here.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

This situation is completely opposite to the situation in Luotian Mountains. On one side, poisonous beasts appear in endlessly, and on the other side, strange beasts appear in large numbers. Is there any connection between them?
Chen Sanshi observed through the [Qi Observation Technique] and his eyes soon locked onto a scarlet sea fish. The Qi flowing in the fish's body was not the light blue color like that in the alien beast's body, but a deep green.

This is probably not a strange beast, but a "spiritual" beast. If I can eat it, I'm afraid it will be
He immediately asked, "Boss, how much is this fish?!"

"Oh, you really know what you are talking about."

The shopkeeper said, "This fish was just caught from the sea today. It is really hard to transport it, and it is hard to keep it. Otherwise, it would have been bought by a lord in the city long ago. It is not expensive, only six thousand taels of silver."

Five thousand taels of silver.

Definitely worth the price.

And this should be the case when the shopkeeper cannot tell that the fish is a spiritual beast, otherwise the price would be sky-high.

"Okay, I'll eat this fish raw, and then I'll cook the white jade rabbit, the general crab, and the purple bird according to your best methods, and then send them to my box."

Chen Sanshi started ordering food.

"okay!"

The shopkeeper held an abacus in his hand and said after a few clackings: "I'll give you a small change. It's exactly 14,000 taels. The rule of our shop is to settle the bill first and then do the sales. After all, these are all treasures and we can't afford to lose money. Please forgive me, hero."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi reached out to take the banknote.

Before coming, the Governor's Mansion also prepared the silver bills of the Nanxu Bank in advance.

Just when the payment was about to be made, a rough voice rang out.

"Wait, I want this fish!"

I saw a bearded man coming over carrying a snakeskin bag.

"This guest officer..."

The shopkeeper opened his mouth and was about to say something.

With a "dong" sound, the bearded man put the snakeskin bag on the ground, and then opened it, revealing a bag full of golden bricks: "Five thousand taels of gold!"

"This this……"

The shopkeeper's pupils dilated, and he picked up a heavy gold brick and took a few bites with some disbelief. After checking it again and again, he said, "Really?!"

"nonsense!"

The man said coldly: "Sell it to me or to him, it's your choice!"

The shopkeeper looked behind him and saw the Xuan Xiang realm warrior sitting in the yard. After getting the affirmation, he said to the bald-headed man, "Ahem, my dear guest, there is an unwritten rule in our shop. The highest bidder gets it. If you can't offer a higher price..."

"Old boy!"

The bearded man's eyes widened: "Are you sure you want to snatch it from me?!"

between words.

This person's spiritual energy fluctuates at about the third level of Qi Refining, showing his threat.

Not only that.

Chen Sanshi saw it with his own eyes.

Before opening the sack, the man poured spiritual energy into it. Most of the gold was fake...

This means they don't even intend to give a fair bidding opportunity.

After a while.

He said calmly, "This brother offered a higher price, so the item should belong to him."

"Hahaha! You're smart, kid!"

The man laughed out loud, grabbed the spirit fish from the water tank with his bare hands, and started to eat it raw as he walked out, eating the fish scales together.

"Guest sir."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "How about you look at something else?"

"Give me that green tree frog."

Chen Sanshi's luck is not too bad.

I found another spiritual beast in the corner, but its quality was much worse than that fish.

No one came to grab it this time.

The dining table in the side room was soon filled with dishes.

Zhao Zhao's eyes lit up, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

"General."

Ningxiang took the chopsticks and fed a mouthful of meat into Chen Sanshi's mouth, and asked: "Should we stay here for two days? There are so many immortals here, there must be great opportunities."

"Go directly."

Chen Sanshi said decisively: "Just find a boat to go out to sea and leave. Don't stay here."

He observed this day.

The cultivator with the highest level of cultivation who appeared in this small town had reached the Perfect Qi Refining Stage, and most of the others were in the middle stage of Qi Refining. The one who was at the third level of Qi Refining just now was already considered to be at a lower level.

If he wants to get involved in this dispute, he must at least break through to the level of Martial Saint.

"Listen to you."

Ningxiang obeyed.

After eating a large amount of exotic beast meat, Chen Sanshi closed the door and started practicing in the yard.

This time I went out, I brought a bow and arrow and a spear.

However, what he brought was not the Liquan Spear, but another mysterious weapon taken directly from the armory. It was also made of all metal, but had a disassembly mechanism and could be divided into several sections and reassembled when needed. It was considered convenient to carry and was called the Tiger-headed Golden Spear.

An iron-framed bow was also brought.

It was placed in a wooden box together with the spear, and Zhaozhao usually carried it on his back.

[Kung Fu: Dragon Spear of the Nation. Mysterious Image (Introduction)]

【Progress: 401/500】

Chen Sanshi practiced until late at night. He put down his spear only after he was soaked and let out a long breath.

Ningxiang, who was standing next to her, immediately came up with a handkerchief to help wipe the sweat.

"You don't have to please me like this."

Chen Sanshi said calmly: "Although we have a contract, as long as you don't have any bad intentions, I won't use it to threaten you to do anything. After I go back, I can also cancel the contract with you."

He is not interested in holding other people's lives in his hands.

This trip was simply a self-protection measure that had to be taken because of distrust of the other party.

"Does the general mean what he said?"

Ningxiang found it a little unbelievable.

In Xunxian Tower, if you want to get real resources from the owner of the tower, you must sign a blood contract, which can never be cancelled for life. The purpose is to control people forever.

Who would want to break the contract after getting a Deadpool who has to work for him? Isn't it like a brothel madam redeeming a girl for free? How can such a good thing happen in the world?

"Do I need to lie to you?"

Chen Sanshi said indifferently: "Moreover, the Supervisory Office will continue to protect you. We will not kick you out after the blessing is used up. So you don't need to try to please me. Just do what you should do."

Finished speaking.

He returned to the room and prepared to practice the "Five Elements Technique".

"..."

Ningxiang looked at his back, her eyes rippling.

"Spiritual energy really cannot be disabled!"

Chen Sanshi took out the middle-grade spirit stone and felt distressed when he saw that the stock inside was becoming increasingly scarce.

"boom--"

"There is an immortal!"

"..."

Just when he was about to practice, there was a loud noise outside.

"Go and see."

Chen Sanshi immediately stood up with his knife in hand.

It's not for watching the fun, but the current situation is weird, you have to understand your own situation at all times so that you know how to deal with it.

The direction from which the sound came was nearby.

After he jumped onto the roof of the yard, he had a clear view of the scene where the incident occurred.

In the yard of another inn, there stood a white-haired old man wearing a ghost mask, holding a spear in his hand and stepping on the corpse of a monk.

There were four cultivators standing on the roof. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from their bodies, they were all probably in the middle stage of Qi Refining or above.

One of them was wearing a white robe and holding a green sword in his hand. His robe fluttered in the night wind, and he looked imposing, like a sword immortal who had descended to earth. In other words, to mortals, he was the sword immortal.

The sword cultivator coldly questioned the ghost-faced old man in the courtyard: "Old devil, why don't you hand over the pulse spirit quickly!"

The ghost-faced old man laughed contemptuously: "If I don't give it to you, what can you do?"

"Old devil, you can't run away!"

The sword cultivator threatened: "Now there are bounties for you everywhere in Dazefang City. If you don't hand over your pulse spirit, there will be endless cultivators coming to kill you!"

"Friend Fang is right."

The old woman next to him said, "Such a treasure from heaven and earth, why do you insist on eating it all by yourself? Do you really think you can eat it all?"

"Yeah yeah."

Another person was wearing a bamboo hat and spoke with a smile in his eyes: "As long as you hand over your pulse spirit, the Xiuxian world will promise you huge benefits. Why do you have to fight to the death here?"

"Or……"

The last monk said sternly, "Do you really want to go against all the monks in the world?!"

"Eh!"

The ghost-faced old man interrupted him: "You are right about this point."

"court death!"

"Om-"

The sword cultivator's Qingfeng sword rose into the air, one sword became two, two became four, and finally there were eight sword lights, overwhelming the sky and heading towards the old demon in the center of the courtyard, but...

The figure in the courtyard had long disappeared without a trace.

"Daoyou, be careful!"

A terrifying murderous intent came from behind.

The sword cultivator was horrified: "You are a martial artist, how can you escape?!"

"It's just light work."

"boom--"

The ghost-faced old man held out his spear, and the sword cultivator felt as if a mad python was attacking him. He pinched his fingers and chanted a spell to summon back the eight sword lights. However, in front of the spear, these sword lights were as fragile as glass and shattered in an instant. The mad python was unstoppable and bit off the sword cultivator's head in one bite. The subsequent aftermath even collapsed the entire wall.

at the same time.

The monk in the bamboo hat made hand gestures and chanted a spell, then stomped his foot.

The collapsed wall and the surrounding land began to surge like waves, trapping the ghost-faced old man inside in a flash. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a monk raised a giant hammer emitting purple lightning and smashed it down fiercely. The remaining old woman condensed a cloud of poisonous mist in front of her and turned into black butterflies that flew away. The three of them worked together and cooperated tacitly.

however……

Everyone only saw a gust of air bursting out from under the layers of earth walls, and then the earth walls exploded inch by inch, and the black butterflies transformed by the poisonous fog also disappeared. The monk holding the giant hammer was directly blown away, and a spear pierced out from the dust and went straight to the heart of the monk holding the hammer. Several spells attacked on the way, but they were broken by force, and it caught up with an almost unstoppable momentum.

The monk who was still in mid-air crushed a talisman, which turned into a golden stream of light and merged into his body, then spread out into a pair of wings of light. He stabilized his body in a posture that went against common sense, roared and squeezed out his own limits, and smashed the spear with the hammer in his hand, which was wrapped in purple lightning.

"boom!"

A loud thunderous sound was heard, and the spear broke directly, but the ghost-faced old man did not suffer any injuries. Instead, the monk was bleeding from all seven orifices, and half of his body was smashed by a punch from the ghost-faced old man who caught up with him.

"Go first!"

The monk in the bamboo hat was horrified. He raised his hand to summon a huge rock and threw it at him. Then he wanted to leave, but it was too late.

The ghost-faced old man took the dead monk's hammer and smashed the boulder first. Then he dropped from the sky and smashed the monk in the bamboo hat into a pulp. He then threw the hammer carrying infinite true power at the old woman who had escaped a hundred feet away. As expected, blood and flesh flew everywhere...

The whole process takes about seven or eight breaths.

The four monks were completely reduced to ashes.

This scene.

Chen Sanshi had a panoramic view.

Ozefang Market?

Is it a place name in the world of immortal cultivation?

This old demon was wanted by the immortal cultivation world. Did he escape from the immortal cultivation world?

What a powerful strength!

However, judging from the looks of it, he is still a warrior, and his strength far exceeds that of the eldest brother and others. These cultivators who have reached the perfection of Qi training are actually vulnerable to him.

After the battle.

The ghost-faced old man began to...touch the corpse.

He searched the bodies of several people for a while, but seemed to find nothing.

Above the night.

More and more cultivators came flying in the air, and there were estimated to be at least twenty of them. Moreover, the spiritual power fluctuations of some of them were stronger than those of the previous dead people.

"call……"

The ghost-faced old man stuffed a few pills under his mask, then picked up the hammer, jumped lightly, and disappeared.

More than twenty monks came to nothing.

Chen Sanshi returned to the room.

He asked: "Do you know what the 'pulse spirit' they mentioned is?"

Ningxiang shook her head slightly: "It sounds like it has something to do with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth..."

Chen Sanshi was pondering.

Where does the spiritual energy come from in this world, and what treasures are there that are worth so many cultivators coming down from the immortal world to the mortal world, even at the risk of their lives.

But no matter what, I'm afraid it's not something I can get involved in at the moment.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.

It was already three o'clock in the morning. After such a big commotion, no one could sleep.

Chen Sanshi waited quietly until dawn, then led Ningxiang and the others to the dock, wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

More than 50% of the people in Nanling Town are fishermen.

However, just at the hour of Mao, the area near the dock was already bustling with activity. Some people were preparing to go out to sea, while others were returning from a few days at sea. There were also a large number of officers and soldiers nearby to maintain order.

Everyone was talking about what happened last night.

Groups of immortals are flying in the sky on swords.

For the common people who have lived in this remote place for most of their lives, this is really hard to accept. Not only that, it is said that Nanxu is also preparing to send a large army to negotiate.

"stop!"

"You rascal! How dare you hide the precious fish!"

"..."

not far away.

A fisherman who had just returned from sea was found to have a precious fish hidden by several officers and soldiers who wanted to take it away, so he was beaten up on the spot.

“It’s unreasonable!”

“We have been fishermen here for generations!”

“No one cared when we had no food to eat!”

"Now we have precious fish! Exotic beasts! They are all taken over by you!"

"You are courting death!"

"..."

I found out after asking around.

Nanxu sent people to Nanling Town not long ago. First, they closed the mountains and prohibited local hunters from hunting. Then they sent people to the dock to collect fish. They stipulated that fishermen must hand in a certain number of precious fish as taxes every month, and they must sell them to the government. As for the price...

Some black-hearted officials did not even give a penny and put all the money in their own pockets.

For warriors or cultivators, this might be a great opportunity, but for the people of Nanling Town, it has become an inexplicable disaster.

"..."

Chen Sanshi walked along the pier and asked about "Tianya Haijiao", but the locals said they had never heard of this place, so he had to ask directly if there were any fishermen who took people out to sea.

At first, people were eager to try when they heard about the generous reward, but when they heard that he was going to keep going after finding the end of the world, they were immediately scared.

You will find out only if you ask carefully.

Four thousand miles out to sea is the end.

The sea four thousand miles away was covered with thick fog, and no ship that went in could return.

"Heavy fog..."

Hearing this, Chen Sanshi was even more certain that he had found the right place. It also sounded like this world was intentionally isolated by some means by the cultivation world.
He continued to inquire about "the ends of the earth". The sea was vast, and it would be better to have an experienced person to lead the way.

It was not until noon that one of the old men finally said that he understood.

"The end of the world..."

The old man looked out at the boundless ocean and said, "Fifty years ago, many people from the underworld came to our town and said they wanted to go to the ends of the earth.

“Back then, they asked my father to drive the boat, and then they never came back.

"My dear hero, let me give you some advice: live well and don't get upset."

He said he would not lead the way.

Even if Chen Sanshi offered a higher price, he was determined and was willing to sell the boat, but when he thought about it carefully, even experienced fishermen could not cope with the fog...

Moreover, he only knew a vague direction of the "End of the World". If he really sailed on the sea to look for it, it might take him forever to find it.

"Could this Taoist friend be someone who is seeking immortality?"

An old voice sounded in my ears.

Chen Sanshi turned around and saw that it was the old monk who was leading the donkey to buy wine. Some things can't be faked, so he simply faked his identity and didn't deny it: "That's right."

"Then don't bother yourself, fellow Taoist."

The old man said with a smile: "This world has a barrier set up by the ancient great power. Ordinary ships cannot reach the ends of the earth. If you rush into the fog, you will most likely die. It's better not to waste your energy.

"unless……"

He changed the subject and said, "Fellow Daoist, give me two spirit stones. Let's be friends and I'll show you a way forward. How about that?"

Two spiritual stones...

Putting aside the middle-grade spirit stone for the time being, Chen Sanshi now has seven pieces of his life and property, and two of them are almost equivalent to one third, which is really painful.

But he spent most of the day finding out.

It is almost certainly impossible to reach the end of the world without help.

In the end, he could only negotiate with the other party: "Daoyou, are you serious?"

"It's just two spirit stones. I won't lie to you."

The old man took a sip from the wine gourd and said, "Daoyou, please think it over quickly. Time waits for no one."

"make a deal!"

Chen Sanshi had no other choice.

You can only gamble with two spirit stones.

"Tsk tsk~"

The old man stretched out his dry bark-like hand and put the spirit stone into his pocket.

"Fellow."

Chen Sanshi pretended to be reluctant and said, "I only have four spiritual stones on me, and I'm giving them all to you now."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

The old man said calmly, "I won't lie to you. My last name is Mo Ming Zhu, but you can just call me Old Man Mo."

"My surname is Zhang, and my name is Laizi."

Chen Sanshi introduced himself: "You can just call me Baldy Head.

"Okay, Brother Lai, let's talk while we walk."

Mo Zhu led the donkey and the two of them strolled along the beach. He said with some emotion: "I really can't believe that this time the heaven and earth have opened up a ray of hope, and so many mortals would want to go to the world of immortal cultivation."

"Oh?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Are there a lot of people?"

"Many, all at the ends of the earth, some holding jade cards waiting for the gate of heaven to open, some kneeling there begging immortals to accept them as disciples." Mo Zhu explained leisurely, "It's not just you and your country Xu, people from the Jiuzhou continent are all gathering there now."

"Fifty years..."

Chen Sanshi asked again: "Senior, may I ask why the heaven and earth only open the door to the world of immortal cultivation once every fifty years?"

Since he had spent spirit stones, he naturally had to ask all the questions he could.

"It's been a long time~"

Mo Zhu was not stingy: "I also read it in a book. It is said that after a great war between gods and demons in ancient times, the ancestor of the spiritual vein between heaven and earth was destroyed. Not only did it cause the spiritual energy to decrease rapidly, but it also gave birth to all kinds of mixed air that polluted the world. It's like... a plague in the mortal world. If it is not stopped in time, it will spread to all places.

“So, the ancient mighty ones took action and sealed off all these places.

"From now on, ordinary people who want to enter the world of immortal cultivation must pass through the teleportation array, which you call the 'line between heaven and earth'.

"This restriction is a one-way restriction. It does not exist for immortal cultivators. Of course, we ordinary people who don't come back when we have nothing to do, what you see now is because...

"The spiritual energy in your world is about to revive."

"Revival of spiritual energy?"

Chen Sanshi wondered, if spiritual energy was revived, he wouldn't have to go to the ends of the earth with all his effort.

"right.

"The damage caused by the ancient war has been repaired.

"These sealed places have a chance to repair themselves every once in a while and give birth to new spiritual veins."

Mo Zhu guessed his thoughts: "You don't have to think about it. The spiritual vein is the slowest to recover among all the veins of heaven and earth. It will take at least hundreds of years. If you wait here until then, I'm afraid you will have turned into a pile of yellow earth. The best choice is to go to the nearest Dazefang City and find a spiritual vein to practice."

century……

Chen Sanshi really couldn't wait until that time, so he continued, "In that case, why did you fellow Taoists come here?"

"In the world of immortal cultivation, generally speaking, whichever force finds the spiritual vein first will own it."

Mo Zhu said, "Not long ago, a reward was posted in Dazefang City. Whoever can find the location of the revived spirit vein can exchange it for a treasure of heaven and earth for a foundation-building pill. Before each spirit vein is born, a vein spirit will be born. Only by following the vein spirit can the location of the spirit vein be found."

"in this case."

Chen Sanshi nodded: "Daoyou, are you here to capture the spirit vein in exchange for the reward? No wonder the ghost-faced demon was besieged last night, I guess the spirit vein is in his hands."

"My cultivation is shallow, how can I compete with those people? I am just here to pick up the spoils. Whenever the spirit veins revive, some spirit beasts will appear. I can take them back and exchange them for some spirit stones. As for the demon you mentioned..."

At this point, Mo Zhu's tone was quite fearful: "He is a lunatic!"

"madman?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Why do you say that?"

"You wait."

Mo Zhu looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before continuing, "That ghost-faced demon had found the pulse spirit dozens of days ago, but he didn't take it to the market to claim the reward. Instead, he hid it alone. No one knew what he meant. The forces in the market went to him to ask for it, but they couldn't reach an agreement. In the end, he had no choice but to take action. Then... he started killing people indiscriminately.

"I really can't understand, what's the point of holding the Pulse Spirit in my hand without claiming the reward?

"He is alone, and has no power to rely on. Could it be that he is planning to take over the entire spiritual vein by himself?"

"Behaving so strangely?"

Chen Sanshi inquired, "Who is he?"

"I don't know."

Old Man Mo replied, "I only know that he appeared in the market many years ago, and he appeared again not long ago. Moreover, this person is different from you and me. He only practices martial arts and does not cultivate immortality. I don't plan to provoke him. I will go shopping for the next two days. If I still can't find any bargains, I will go back.

"At midnight tonight, you come here.

"When the time comes, a special large ship will come to pick up the monks like me, but each person will need a spiritual stone for the fare, so you should prepare it yourself."

One more piece...

It’s just like Shunzi said, spirit stones are needed everywhere.

If that doesn't work, I can only break the middle-grade spirit stone, but I don't know how much it is worth...

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Taoist."

Chen Sanshi clasped his fists and saluted.

"You are being paid to do something for someone else, so why should you be polite? Anyway..."

The old man said, "Actually, I am a talisman master. Daoist friend, would you like to buy two talismans for your personal use? My prices are cheap and I don't cheat anyone..."

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. You know I am a mortal. Where did I get so many spirit stones? I only have four on me. If I spend more, I will have no more."

Chen Sanshi said goodbye, "If I need it in the future, I will definitely buy it from you, fellow Taoist."

"Then remember to come on time today."

Old Man Mo reminded: "If it's late, they won't wait for you."

"nature."

Chen Sanshi did not continue the conversation. He had already received enough information and needed to verify it from more sources to see if it was true.

You can't just get on a boat casually.

There is also spiritual resurrection...

It's really unbelievable.

If the revival of spiritual energy here is the reason why immortals gather here, then what is the situation in Liangzhou?
And what does that ghost-faced demon want to do?
With all kinds of thoughts.

He returned to the inn and met Ningxiang, who had gone out to gather information separately earlier.

"Sir, I will go back first~"

In front of the inn.

I saw Ningxiang talking to a young and handsome man.

Not only that.

Ningxiang was no longer the charming girl she used to be in the brothel. Her face was covered with a purple veil, and her speech and behavior were extremely elegant, somewhat like a lady from a noble family. Yet, under the cover of the veil, there was a hazy beauty that added a bit of fairy spirit to her, making her feel like a fairy descending to earth.

The young man standing opposite her maintained his politeness on his face, but his eyes had long been unable to conceal his wide openness. A fawning smile hung on his face, and his mouth seemed to be about to drool while he spoke.

"Miss Ningxiang, you, you must come, then we'll see you later!"

"Huh~"

He turned around and saw Chen Sanshi: "This is..."

"Mr. Liu, this is my cousin."

Ningxiang moved her golden lotus to the side of her "cousin": "I wonder if I can..."

"Yes, of course!"

Young Master Liu clasped his fists and said, "Since this fellow Taoist is Miss Ningxiang's cousin, he is naturally my friend. Come on board with me at midnight tonight. I'll pay for the fare!"

"Sir, I am so sorry."

Ningxiang politely declined, "I just wanted to ask if I could be your companion. How can I ask you to pay for it?"

"It doesn't matter, just a few spiritual stones!"

Young Master Liu patted his chest and said, "It's settled. Goodbye!"

Having said this, he left in a hurry.

"How's it going, cousin~"

The moment she returned to the courtyard, Ningxiang regained her charming appearance and came close to him with a fragrant breeze: "I am still of some use, right? Everything is settled."

Chen Sanshi said cautiously: "Are you using some kind of illusion?"

If this is true, it would basically be tantamount to seeking death.

This place is not ordinary.

Even if a monk is hit, he will probably not be able to recover, but it will be troublesome then.

"I'm not that stupid."

Ningxiang said coquettishly, "Don't worry, I rely purely on my charm, and cultivators are no more than that. It seems that men are lustful no matter where they are or what their status is. Zhaozhao, you should learn from me."

"Uh-huh."

Zhao Zhao nodded seriously and vigorously.

"alright."

Chen Sanshi spent two spirit stones just to find out the information.

As a result, when it came to Ningxiang, not only did she not have to spend any money, but someone even offered her spirit stones on their own initiative. The most important thing was that she didn't even give the other party the slightest advantage in terms of language. It was just a simple and normal communication.

Is that person so stupid?
Forget it, let’s exchange information first.

After the exchange.

They came to the conclusion.

What Old Man Mo said was not false.

If the spiritual energy here is really to be revived and you want to go to the ends of the earth, you must take the monks' ships.

If it is not a coincidence...

In the past fifty years, it would have been more than a hundred times more difficult to travel to the ends of the earth.

That night.

The three of them packed up and arrived at the dock on time at midnight.

Here.

A large number of monks had already gathered there.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is leaving too?"

"Let's go. We are just independent cultivators. We are here for the bounty. Why should we stay and risk our lives?"

"Yes, let the people who should worry about the spiritual veins worry about it."

"At least I picked up two spirit beasts on this trip."

"Hahaha! I used a bunch of rocks to trick a precious fish!"

The monk who used a trick to buy the precious fish yesterday and then used force to threaten Chen Sanshi not to expose the truth or to bid for a fair sale was also among them. The latter also noticed him and simply ignored him.

Everyone waited there for about half an hour.

Then I saw a slightly fat monk coming with a sword.

"Friend Xu, you are finally here. What are you waiting for? Quickly send us off by boat."

"..."

Xu Youliang looked at them and asked in a shrill voice, "Fellow Daoists, are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you really not going to wait any longer? Even if you only provide clues to the pulse spirit, you can get a large amount of spirit stones as a reward."

“I’m afraid I’ll be able to take it but not spend it!”

"Five of the Taoist friends who went to chase that demon last night died in a row. Who would dare to chase him?"

"For monks like us, it is best not to fight and kill each other."

"Yeah yeah."

"..."

"Well, it's up to you."

A miniature boat carved out of walnut appeared out of thin air in Xu Youliang's palm. He threw it into the sea. There was a flash of light in the air, and when it fell, it had become a real big ship.

He glanced at everyone: "As usual, one spirit stone per person."

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Young Master Liu rushed to take out the spirit stones.

"No need!"

Chen Sanshi paid three spirit stones before the cultivator named Liu.

It would be enough to get some information from this person. If I really used his spirit stone, I wouldn't know what kind of consequences would befall me in the future.

"Daoyou, you are a real person!"

"..."

Soon, everyone had handed in their spirit stones.

And your identity needs to be checked before you get on board.

With the help of Mo Zhu, Chen Sanshi's identity as a mortal seeking immortal was explained clearly, so he was able to board the ship smoothly, and the two spirit stones were not wasted.

The environment inside the ship is very good, and each monk has a separate cabin.

He was the last one to get on board, and his seat was at the end of the bottom cabin. Just as he was looking for a place to sit down, he saw through the [Qi-Observation Technique] that a fluctuation of Qi from the next door flashed by, and then another spiritual energy was extinguished everywhere.

"..."

Damn!

Chen Sanshi slowly mobilized the spiritual power in his body and was about to cast a defensive spell, ready to escape at any time while trying to make as much noise as possible to call all the monks on the boat over.

at the same time.

A voice sounded.

"Eh~ That's really weird.

"The cultivators' detection skills can only observe spiritual energy. I just used only martial arts energy to kill someone, and I didn't make any noise. How could you detect this?
“I have no grudge against you, so I won’t fight with you.

“You have no grudge against me.

"Why don't we keep quiet? I'll leave when the boat arrives.

"How about we do each other a favor?"
