Chapter 180: Beast Taming Skills, Immortal World Recruits Disciples
"Senior is right."

After a brief consideration, Chen Sanshi decisively agreed.

Judging from the previous situation, he might not be able to survive from this man, and the other monks might not necessarily save him.

The key is……

I really have no grudge against this person.

The title of "demon" is nothing more than a fight for the vein spirit.

This is also the most crucial point.

I am not qualified to participate and I don't intend to participate.

Therefore, he doesn't care about the disputes over spiritual veins.

"now it's right."

The voice inside the cabin was much calmer: "I hate fighting and killing the most. They forced me to do it. Don't be scared by the name of the devil."

"I see."

Chen Sanshi responded perfunctorily and wanted to leave.

"Where are you in such a hurry to go? I've been bored all the way here. I finally made a friend like you. Why don't you come in and talk to me?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi was in no hurry to move.

Behind him, Ningxiang's pupils glowed with pink light.

"Tell your friend to stop. Do you really have to force me to do that?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi signaled Ningxiang and the other person to leave.

He could tell that the other party really had no intention of taking action, otherwise there would be no need to waste time talking until now. He remained alert and walked into the cabin.

Only inside the cabin.

A white-haired old man sat relaxedly.

Beside him, a monk was sleeping peacefully.

The old man took off his mask, revealing an ordinary face: "Come, sit down."

"My name is Zhang Laizi, nice to meet you, senior."

Chen Sanshi sat down next to him.

"Well, this old man is Gui Qi."

Gui Qi looked him up and down: "I don't recognize you. Are you a casual cultivator or a mortal seeking immortality?"

"The one who is looking for immortals comes from Daxu."

Chen Sanshi speaks with a standard Nanxu accent.

"Xu people~ I am from Dazefang City."

Gui Qi said quietly, "It will take ten days for the ship to reach its destination. Just wait."

Finished speaking.

The two fell into silence.

Gui Qi began to search the dead cultivator's body, but after a long while he still didn't find anything. He cursed in a low voice: "This group of gluttons, nine out of ten times they left all their wealth in the world of cultivation before coming out. It's a sheer waste of energy to fight them."

"..."

Chen Sanshi didn't know how to respond.

As if feeling bored, Gui Qi threw the monk's body into the sea, then took out a line with a fishhook at the end, tied it to the sledgehammer he had taken last night, and began fishing in the sea through the window.

The ship had already started moving, but the strange thing was that Chen Sanshi had no feeling at all. He only realized it after he could no longer see the dock. They had already sunk into the vast ocean.

Almost no one spoke on the huge walnut boat.

All the monks were resting with their eyes closed, appearing exceptionally quiet.

Chen Sanshi was afraid of being targeted, so he didn't dare to reveal the middle-grade spirit stone. He just stared blankly at Gui Qi for four or five days. He watched the old man getting more and more irritated because he didn't catch any fish. There were several times when he saw big fish jumping out of the water and he almost jumped into the sea to catch them.

Are all fishermen so easily frustrated?
Until the sixth day.

Gui Qi finally caught a red sea fish that was about the length of his forearm: "Come, let's eat together."

The spiritual energy in this fish is similar to the one he saw in the inn that day, and it is of extraordinary value. Chen Sanshi did not hesitate and ate half of the fish. Then he began to practice with the help of the thin spiritual energy he obtained.

At this time, the large ship had already entered the dense fog, and it was almost pitch dark on the deck.

During the journey, a golden barrier would light up from time to time on the surface of the hull, with mysterious runes flowing on it, which would actually rub against the white fog and make a harsh sound.

No wonder ordinary people cannot go too far out to sea. Without special methods, this fog is no different from a man-eating beast.

"Fellow Daoist Laizi." Gui Qi leaned back in his seat. "From what I can see from your martial arts, you can easily obtain high positions and generous salaries even in the mortal world. Why do you still want to risk your life and travel thousands of miles to the ends of the earth?"

Chen Sanshi did not give a direct answer.

He just said: "Senior, why do you have to talk about me? If your martial arts realm were placed among the mortals, I'm afraid no one would be able to defeat you. Why don't you make enemies with this boat full of cultivators and occupy a spiritual vein alone?"

"Monopolizing the spiritual vein?"

Ghost Seven laughed twice when he heard this: "When did I say this? It's just their own conjecture that they imposed on me. Besides, after the spiritual vein is revived, the area it covers is almost equivalent to an entire mountain range. How can I defend it alone?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi was curious, if he didn't want to keep it all for himself, then what did he want to do?

But after all, he was not familiar with the other party, so he did not ask any further.

Who would have thought that Ghost Seven would say something shocking: "I am looking for a spiritual vein in order to uproot it and destroy it, so as to avoid further trouble."

"What did the senior say?"

Chen Sanshi was puzzled and asked, "Why would such a good spiritual vein be destroyed?"

According to Old Man Mo, the revival of the spiritual vein is a great thing that is extremely difficult to come by. With the spiritual vein, cultivators will have an extra place to practice. If it is destroyed, this world will continue to be in isolation.

Gui Qi did not answer.

He then asked, "Fellow Daoist Laizi, would you like to stay and lend a hand to me? After the matter is accomplished, you will definitely benefit from it."

"Senior, you are joking."

Chen Sanshi quickly refused, "My cultivation is shallow, and I am afraid I am not qualified to participate in such things. Even if I want to help you, I am unable to do so."

he wondered.

Things like spiritual veins.

Since it is a great creation of heaven and earth, I am afraid not everyone has the ability to destroy it.

"Well, everyone in the world yearns for the path to immortality, and I was no exception, but..."

Gui Qi paused for a moment, "Fellow Daoist Laizi, I want to ask you, what is your background?"

"Very good."

Chen Sanshi blurted out: "Otherwise, where would such martial arts skills come from?"

However, he knew in his heart that he was just a hunter in the mountains. Even if his past life was counted, he was just an ordinary person among the countless living beings.

"Is that so? That's no wonder."

Gui Qi sighed, "It's hard for people who are already in high positions to empathize with ordinary people. You and I are not the same kind of people, so let's just say goodbye."

While the two were talking.

Xu Youliang's voice came from outside.

"My fellow Taoists, prepare to disembark!"

"..."

Unconsciously, the nuclear boat gradually sailed out of the fog.

Through the window, one can clearly see an island emerging from the boundless ocean. On the shore stands a stone tablet several dozen feet high with the four large characters "The End of the World" inscribed on it.

The speed of the nuclear boat began to slow down.

Ghost Seven disappeared.

Chen Sanshi hurried back to his cabin.

Ningxiang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was safe and sound: "Could that person be..."

Chen Sanshi nodded in agreement.

"This demon is really powerful."

Ningxiang said fearfully, "Earlier, across the cabin, when I was about to cast a spell, he knew it in advance... and he was able to sneak into a ship full of monks without being noticed, and then leave like a ghost."

"Yes."

Chen Sanshi also felt that this person was unfathomable.

And destroying the spiritual veins...

No matter how you listen to it, it doesn't sound like something a normal person would do.

Large ships anchored.

The monks got off the boat one after another, and no one cared that there was one less person on the boat.

I saw many people gathered on the shore of the island in advance.

Chen Sanshi looked around.

Among them are some warriors and some cultivators, but their realms are low, and quite a few have not even entered the Tao.

They all gathered towards the nuclear boat.

"Fairy!"

"Immortal Master!"

"Can you give me a chance?"

"Master, can you accept me as your disciple?"

"..."

"I am a farmer, why would I accept an apprentice?"

"No, where would the independent cultivators get the resources to give to others?"

"..."

All those gathered here are immortal seekers from the Jiuzhou continent.

But the real monks ignored the crowd, and many of them flew directly into the air and left the place quickly.

However, some of them stayed.

But they are not doing good things, they are asking for benefits.

For example, Mo Zhu was leading the donkey: "Two spirit stones, I will show you a clear path..."

"..."

Chen Sanshi estimated that the old man could make a lot of money on this trip.

Moreover, Mo Zhu seemed to have met the bearded man before. The two of them even exchanged glances while talking, and it was unknown what they were discussing.

He had never offended the other party.

Since the fish had tactfully given up its position, there shouldn't be any trouble.

"Spirit Stone? What is a Spirit Stone?"

"..."

Some people have no idea what spirit stones are, or even how the realms of immortal cultivation are divided. They rely entirely on luck to find their way here, simply to "search for immortals."

"Spirit Stone? Is this called a Spirit Stone? I have this thing!"

Suddenly.

A young man opened his bag, which was filled with colorful spiritual stones.

This scene.

All the monks present were shocked.

"Boy, you pass!"

Xu Youliang took the lead and grabbed the boy's arm, infusing a wisp of spiritual energy into his body. "You have three lower-grade spiritual roots, but that's not bad. Come with me. You will be my disciple from now on! These spiritual stones are the apprenticeship fee. Do you have any objection?"

The young man joyfully presented the spirit stone with both hands and kowtowed on the spot to become his disciple.

The other monks' eyes were filled with mixed emotions of envy, jealousy, etc., but in the end they could only leave reluctantly, obviously not daring to provoke Xu Youliang.

"Get up~"

Xu Youliang clasped his hands together, summoned a flying sword, and led the young man away into the air.

The boy shouted excitedly: "I have an immortal master now!"

"There really is an idiot who can find this place."

Ningxiang is amazing.

Most people don’t know how precious spirit stones are, and they are very envious of the young man, only regretting that they don’t have that kind of glowing stone.

"Friend Daoist Mo."

Chen Sanshi found the old man and asked, "Can you tell me, since you can come and go freely, why don't you bring some people back to the Xiuxian world?"

"This one~"

Mo Zhu generously said, "We talked about this before. This world is sealed. It is true that we can travel freely, but we need to pass through the teleportation array to forcefully open a line between heaven and earth. Only one person can pass through at a time, and it also consumes a large amount of spirit stones.

“This time, the teleportation array was opened with spirit stones from several major families in the market. They spent a huge amount of money to find the spirit vein. Even we only have one chance to pass through for free.

“It is naturally impossible for ordinary cultivators to take advantage easily.

"Twelve spirit stones, how about I take you through?"

"I really don't have so many spirit stones."

Chen Sanshi inquired: "Are there any other ways besides this?"

"Then we can only rely on the jade token to find the location of the ancient teleportation array."

Mo Zhu explained: "Only the jade token can be used in the ancient teleportation array. It is said that if this jade token is taken to the market, it can be worth a lot of spirit stones. Does Daoist have such a jade token?"

Chen Sanshi shook his head and lamented, "I have no spirit stones and no jade tokens, I'm afraid this trip will be in vain..."

"Not necessarily."

Mo Zhu said: “Every time the ancient teleportation array is opened every fifty years, some forces in the immortal cultivation world will come out to recruit disciples or look for people. The former needs to be a genius, and the latter needs to be a mortal martial arts saint.

“That’s all.

"If you don't have spirit stones to buy a teleportation quota, I will also hurry back."

Finished speaking.

He rode away on his donkey and soon disappeared from sight.

"Old man Mo!"

The bearded man chased after him and said, "How is it? Does that ordinary cultivator have a jade token? One jade token can be exchanged for a first-class cave residence!"

"I asked, no."

Mo Zhu poured wine into his mouth and said, "Li Huzi, why do you have so many evil thoughts when you come out this time?"

"I'm still poor. I still lack some spirit stones to buy the elixir that can break through the bottleneck. I can only come out to look for it."

Li Huzi cursed and said, "Xu Youliang's luck is so damn good. He met a big fool and got 200 spirit stones just like that! No, I have to guard near the teleportation array. Maybe I can catch the person with the jade token."

"Friend Li, you are planning to rob the cultivators."

Mo Zhu advised earnestly: "How many people have lost their lives because of greed."

"I only robbed ordinary monks. I am not wanted. What should I be afraid of? Besides, isn't the long journey for monks like me just to seize the opportunity of heaven and earth? Don't you agree, Lao Mo!"

Before Li Huzi finished speaking, he smashed down the old man riding on the donkey with his hands behind his back, carrying blazing flames that were determined to devour the sky and the earth.

"Boom——"

A huge deep hole was left on the ground.

But Mo Zhu was already dozens of feet away, holding a dull talisman in his hand, and asked, "Li Huzi, what do you want to do?"

After missing the target, Li Huzi stopped pursuing and said shamelessly, "It was just a joke, don't be angry, Mr. Mo."

"Li Huzi, you can't joke like that."

Mo Zhu pointed the wine gourd at the other party and said fearlessly: "A talisman is worth five spirit stones, and it was destroyed by your joke. I will go to the market to sue you!"

"I'll pay, isn't it okay for me to pay?"

Li Huzi narrowed his eyes and said, "Besides, the market will not care about what happens after you come to the mortal world. Even if you complain, no one may pay attention to you. It is better to make money by being friendly."

Mo Zhu snorted coldly and disappeared.

……

"The jade token is so precious."

Chen Sanshi was thinking in his mind and turned back to reunite with Ningxiang.

"Chen Sanshi!"

Zhao Zhao came running over carrying a box full of weapons that was taller than her, and said with a breath that was a little uneven, "I found a lot of people over there. I heard that there is a sect that wants to recruit disciples. My master asked me to ask you to go over and take a look."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi asked him to lead the way.

"Hey, can you hold the stuff yourself?!"

Zhao Zhao said indignantly: "Do you really treat me like a servant? I carried you all the way."

Chen Sanshi ignored it.

Come to where Ningxiang is.

There is actually a Taoist temple on this deserted island.

At this time, a high platform was set up in the Taoist temple, and many cultivators who had achieved great success or even perfection in Qi training gathered here. Dozens of ordinary people who came to seek immortality lined up in a long queue, and seemed to be undergoing some kind of inspection one by one.

“This brother.”

Chen Sanshi grabbed a random person and asked, "Who is the person in front recruiting disciples?"

"I heard that they are all big sects in the world of immortal cultivation!"

"If I could become their disciple, I would be able to soar into the sky!"

"..."

The man said this and squeezed forward excitedly.

"Master."

Zhao Zhao said eagerly, "Should we go there too? I read in a book before that if we can enter a large sect in the world of immortal cultivation, we can avoid many detours."

"Idiot."

Ningxiang said calmly: "They say they are from a famous and authentic family, do you really believe them? Be careful that you might get sold out without even knowing it."

Chen Sanshi thought the same.

They have just arrived and can be said to be "unfamiliar with the place", so it is better not to approach any force rashly. Even if it is really necessary, it is best to wait until they are familiar with the environment of the immortal world.

Not to mention that after observation, I found that this sect has extremely high requirements for "qualifications".

With his inferior spiritual roots that possess all five elements, it would be better for him not to go up and bring humiliation upon himself.

There is more than one sect that accepts disciples.

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, you are still inferior spiritual roots, you should just go back to the mortal world and farm!"

A young man was so shocked that he sat on the ground for a long time without moving.

"..."

Chen Sanshi always felt that he was being scolded.

This test lasted for two hours. There were more than a hundred people from all over the Nine Continents present, but most of them didn't even get a chance. In the end, only one young woman was taken away, and the rest all stayed where they were and watched the immortals fly away.

"Ningxiang."

Chen Sanshi asked: "What is your spiritual root?"

"I'm a little special."

Ningxiang kept it a secret: "You will know it later."

"..."

Chen Sanshi was too lazy to ask any more questions. He asked instead, "Where is the location of the ancient teleportation array? Have you found it?"

"The way is clear."

Ningxiang has already found out everything: "Come with me."

Twenty miles east of their location, they saw an ancient road leading to the deep mountains of the island. At the fork in the road, there were seven or eight people gathered, some were cultivators, some were pure warriors, and among them were two Martial Saints.

"This brother."

A young man holding a sword noticed Chen Sanshi and said, "You are also going to the ancient teleportation array to seek immortals, right? If you have a jade token, why not join us?"

Chen Sanshi didn't rush to speak.

The leading martial saint, who was carrying a giant blade on his back, came over to explain, "Brother, don't be too cautious. The situation is like this. As far as I know, the jade token is worth quite a bit of spiritual stones in the world of immortal cultivation, so it is coveted by some cultivators.

“The ancient teleportation array was opened ten days ago.

“Many people who went alone to seek immortals were attacked and killed.

"That's why I didn't go over there. Instead, I waited here and prepared to gather some immortal seekers with jade tokens. We can go together, which will be safer."

As he spoke, he directly showed his jade token.

The rest of the people followed suit, showing their sincerity in this way.

There is a technique for observing qi.

Chen Sanshi could basically confirm that they were all mortals seeking immortality. Plus, the jade tokens in their hands were also real, so they should be trustworthy for the time being. After thinking it over, he agreed.

He had a brief acquaintance with a few people.

This martial saint is named Lu Boqin, and he comes from a "Da Li" dynasty, which is said to be located in the north of this island.

Lu Boqin asked in confusion: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, why are you bringing two family members with you?"

The person next to him explained enthusiastically: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you may not know that a jade token can only be bound to one person, so you can't bring a companion."

This one.

Chen Sanshi really didn't know.

"It's ok."

Ningxiang, who was wearing a veil and ordinary dress, spoke with a different voice, "We were only here to escort my cousin, so please let us go together, Brother Lu."

"Follow me if you want." Lu Boqin paused, "But let me be frank. If you dare to have any bad intentions, we will not show mercy."

"It's natural."

Ningxiang said calmly: "After I send my cousin off, I will leave."

The discussion is over.

There were seven or eight people traveling together.

The immortal realm of these people may not be high, but their martial arts realm is at least the Xuanxiang realm. When they are together, they are still quite intimidating. They arrived at their destination without encountering any blind people who came to provoke them.

On the top of the island's mountains, above a thousand-foot cliff.

A huge round stone platform appeared in front of everyone.

On the stone platform full of traces of time, there are densely packed runes carved. These runes emit azure light and flow in specific trajectories, as if they have life. Even from several feet away, one can feel the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations in them.

This is the ancient teleportation formation leading from the ends of the earth to the world of immortals.

Every fifty years, a period of ten to twenty days will be opened randomly.

If you miss it.

For ordinary people, it basically means that they will no longer have any chance to enter the world of immortal cultivation.

"Brother Lu!"

Several warriors asked: "How do we use this teleportation array?"

Chen Sanshi bent down, picked up a stone, and with a flick of his finger, he shot down an eagle flying nearby. Then he threw the unconscious eagle directly at the stone. With a loud "bang", the eagle was turned into meat and blood rain under the terrifying spiritual power.

"hiss……"

The scene before them made everyone present gasp.

At last.

The young man holding the sword came forward to observe carefully: "Look carefully, the whole stone platform is divided into twelve areas, and there is a groove on each area, which seems to match the shape of the jade token in our hands. I guess that only the person holding the jade token can stand on it safely. After placing the jade token on the groove, you can be teleported away."

That being said, everyone saw clearly what happened to the eagle just now. Some people even threw a few huge rocks into it, but they were all turned into powder in an instant. Naturally, no one was willing to risk their lives to try it.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing?!"

After a few breaths of silence.

Lu Bochin attacked without warning, and his fist carrying surging true power turned into a tiger's head, and smashed towards the young man holding the sword who had always respected him. The latter was caught off guard, and his protective qi burst out while he used the scabbard to block, but even so, his body lost contact with the ground, floated backwards, and after passing through the turbulent spiritual energy, he heavily slammed onto the stone platform.

He spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, but fortunately the jade token on his body was shining brightly and protected him, and he did not suffer blood and flesh flying everywhere like the eagle before. This meant that he would be safe as long as he held the jade token.

"Brother Lu, how could you do this?!"

The young man holding the sword was furious.

This is using him as a test subject!
Lu Boqin said indifferently: "Haha, don't blame me, Brother Tang. Since you came up with the idea, of course you should be the one to investigate it. Besides, it's okay, and everyone is happy."

Although everyone was dissatisfied with his behavior, no one said anything. After all, they had already reached the place where he lived, so naturally no one would speak up for an irrelevant person.

Naturally, the young man surnamed Tang could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

After all, the other party is a powerful Martial Saint, so even if he is killed suddenly, there will be no cost.

'This alliance is so fragile.'

Chen Sanshi always walked at the end of the team because he was worried that something similar would happen.

"In that case."

Lu Boqin said in a deep voice: "What are you waiting for? The opening time of the teleportation array is uncertain and it may be closed at any time."

As he spoke, he walked into the teleportation array first.

The rest followed suit.

"You two take Chihiro and find a safe place to wait for me here."

Chen Sanshi turned around and explained.

Ningxiang replied, "Cousin, go ahead and don't worry. We will take good care of the horse."

Chen Sanshi then followed and walked onto the stone platform, imitating the actions of the others and placing the jade token into the groove under his feet.

All of a sudden.

The eight of them were enveloped in blinding white light.

Ningxiang, Zhaozhao and Baihu Ma's eyes were almost injured.

By the time they finally opened their eyes, the teleportation array had become empty. The eight people seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace.

"Master."

Zhao Zhao sighed, "We came all this way, and finally got to the Immortal Cultivation World within easy reach, but in the end, we still couldn't get in."

"Don't worry."

Ningxiang was very calm: "There is one thing you may not understand yet."

Zhao Zhao sat down on the stone and put the heavy box on the ground: "What's the matter?"

"If we continue to stay in Xunxian Tower, we will most likely die of old age in the brothel."

Ningxiang looked at the empty stone platform and said faintly, "But it's not certain now."

Zhao Zhao still didn't understand.

After resting for a while, she wanted to ride back on horseback while Mr. Chen was away.

It was at this time.

The white swan horse suddenly rushed towards the stone platform uncontrollably.

"Eh?!"

Ningxiang was too late to cast a spell to stop it and could only watch it enter the teleportation array.

Unexpectedly.

The white swan horse on the stone platform did not suffer any harm. Instead, it triggered the teleportation array again and disappeared in an instant.

……

"boom--"

Chen Sanshi felt as if his body was trapped in an abyss that would never end. The world was spinning in front of his eyes and he could only see colorful lights. His body felt extremely uncomfortable.

This state lasts for about a dozen breaths.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself still on the stone platform, and so were the other eight people. Even the jade plates under his feet were still in the grooves, but looking at the surrounding environment, it was already a completely different world.

here……

It looks like a forest.

Chen Sanshi used the [Qi Observation Technique] to observe, but did not find any spiritual energy nearby. It seems that the so-called ancient war caused serious damage to the universe. However, the mixed energy between heaven and earth is obviously much less.

"call……"

He calmed his breathing, took off the jade token and stood up.

After the group of eight people walked out of the stone platform, the teleportation array disappeared.

"really!"

Tang Ao said: "Just like the records I saw, the location of the ancient teleportation array is random within a certain range. There shouldn't be any more cultivators waiting for us here."

"In that case."

Lu Boqin said: "Then let's continue to travel together and find a place where we can practice."

Seven people were walking in front.

Chen Sanshi disappeared into the jungle while they were not paying attention.

The fool continued to follow along.

There was no way before.

There were many monks watching along the way, and there was a 99% chance that I couldn't get there by myself. Now...

Those two Martial Saints became the biggest danger.

If any situation happens again, they will probably arrest someone to use as a shield.

Chen Sanshi stretched out his hand and wiped it, restoring his original appearance. He then turned the two layers of clothes on his body inside out, completely changing his style, and then continued to move forward.

"Chihiro?"

He felt something in his heart.

Soon after, the white swan horse appeared in sight.

I have met many cultivators before, but no one has paid special attention to Qianxun. This means that it doesn't look special on the surface and will not be coveted, so there is no problem in following it.

The reason why he stayed on the island was because he was not sure whether the jade token could protect the mount as well.

I didn't expect Chihiro to follow me on her own.

How did it come here if it doesn’t have a jade token?
Chen Sanshi asked: "Then can you lead people to activate the teleportation array without using the jade token?"

The answer was no.

"Ok."

Chen Sanshi jumped onto his horse.

No matter where you go, it is always a comfort not to have to walk by yourself.

[Skill: Taming Beasts (Not yet started)]

【Progress: 0/100】

[Effect: None]

The panel appears.

so……

Chihiro really evolved into a spirit beast.

Chen Sanshi was not too surprised. He set off on his horse. He was also a little curious about what the world of immortal cultivation was like.

In the original imagination.

The cultivators in the world of immortals should live a happy life without any restraints and at ease.

But whether from what Mr. Mei said or from what I saw and heard along the way, I could tell that it was not the case.

Especially the spirit stones used as currency.

This shows that monks also need to work and there will be various disputes.

"Is there anyone here?"

Chen Sanshi looked at the wisps of smoke rising from the sky in the south direction and immediately asked Qianxun to speed up and rush over. About half an hour later...

A small mountain village appeared before us.

That's right.

It is just an ordinary village with simple brick houses, people coming and going, children playing and fighting, and yellow dogs chasing each other. Everything is a very common scene in the mundane world.

For a moment, Chen Sanshi even had the illusion that he was back in Yanbian Village, as if he had just finished hunting and was preparing to go home.

"Linghe?"

After a broad vision.

Large tracts of farmland come into view.

The main crops grown by the people here are rice. Basically, every piece of farmland has nearly 40% spiritual herbs. In some places, as much as half of the crops are planted with spiritual herbs.

"what!"

“Hehe——”

"..."

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, a child who looked about six or seven years old was holding a sword carved out of wood and waving it around randomly without any rules.

"Little Doll."

Chen Sanshi stopped beside him and asked: "Where is this place?"

Ignored him.

The child continued to concentrate on practicing swordplay.

Chen Sanshi turned over and dismounted, and asked, "Why are you practicing swordplay when you are so young?"

"Kill the Immortal!"

The boy said without raising his head.

"Oh?"

Chen Sanshi continued to ask: "Why do you want to kill the immortal?"

"If we kill the immortal, we won't have to grow poisonous weeds anymore, my mother won't starve to death, and my father will have money to treat his illness!"

Every word the boy spoke was heavy, and the wooden sword in his hand also had a hint of murderous intent.

Chen Sanshi leaned forward and said, "I'll teach you sword, do you want to learn?"

"who are you?"

The boy finally stopped and looked at the stranger with hostile eyes: "Are you an immortal too?! I won't learn the sword of an immortal!"

"I'm not an immortal."

Chen Sanshi replied: "I am just like you, an ordinary citizen. Let me ask you one last time. I will teach you swordsmanship. Will you learn it or not?"

Hearing that the other party was not an immortal, the boy's attitude softened. He seriously asked a self-contradictory question: "But you are not an immortal. Can the sword you teach kill an immortal?"

"That……"

Chen Sanshi paused: "It depends on your level."

"Okay, I'll learn!"

The boy nodded heavily, then knelt on the ground: "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

"..."

This was a bit sudden and Chen Sanshi was unprepared.

He helped the other person up.

The best sword technique he knew at the moment was the "Dian Cang Sword Technique", which could be practiced all the way to the level of Martial Saint, so he wanted to try to teach the two kinds of standing exercises to the child first.

The results are put into practice.

Chen Sanshi discovered that since this world has less "waste gas" in its mixed air, the side effects of practicing on the body should be much smaller, which means that one can start practicing from a very young age.

And what was unexpected was that the boy in front of him actually memorized the standing meditation and breathing method in just one go.

"The body of a martial saint."

Chen Sanshi touched it and found that its bones were different from others.

This was quite a coincidence. He had just arrived in a remote village and accepted a disciple who had the body of a congenital martial saint. This was probably... fate.

There is nothing particularly urgent at the moment.

He just wanted to teach for a while longer.

Then an old man came hurriedly and hit the boy with a branch: "Ping An, didn't I tell you to go herd cattle? What are you doing here?!"

"Grandpa, I learned swordsmanship!"

Li Pingan said without trying to hide: "I can kill immortals in the future!"

"Hey, my little ancestor!"

The old man hurriedly covered the boy's mouth and said, "Do you want to kill all the villagers? Go back now!"

"Please stay, old man."

Chen Sanshi asked: "Can you tell me where this place is?"

"Stranger?"

The old man was a little wary.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm not an immortal."

Chen Sanshi quickly assured.

The old man then spoke: "This is Tianshuizhou under the jurisdiction of Jiutian Sect. We call this place Xiaoshi Village. Wait... You don't even know this. Could it be that you are from the outside world?"

Chen Sanshi did not deny: "But I'm really not an immortal."

"This……"

The old man hesitated, and finally looked around and said, "Come with me."

Chen Sanshi followed the grandfather and grandson to a fenced courtyard at the end of the village.

There was a donkey in the yard, and then there were large bundles of firewood.

"Safety."

Chen Sanshi chatted, "Where are your cows?"

"Master, where did my family get the cow?"

"Didn't you say earlier that you were herding cattle?"

"That's Mr. Huang's cow."

"..."

Chen Sanshi was slightly stunned.

He suddenly realized something.

That is, he has actually been a "rich master" for a long time, so much so that he almost forgot that in such an extremely poor village, not every household has a cow. Many of them rely on manual labor for farming, and when they need it, they go back to the masters to "rent" a cow.

"You sit."

The old man asked him to sit down on the long bench.

A trembling old woman took a worn earthenware bowl and poured a bowl of hot water.

Hot water is considered a courtesy for ordinary people to entertain guests.

You know, firewood is also very valuable.

But here...

Isn’t this the world of cultivating immortals?

"Old man, are you a hunter?"

Chen Sanshi noticed the recurve bow hanging on the wall.

"How can I afford to hunt? That was my son's. He had no money to pay for medical treatment, so he died..."

After chatting for a cup of tea.

Chen Sanshi has a relatively in-depth understanding of this world.

He was in the right place.

This is the world of cultivating immortals.

It’s just that immortals only settle in specific places and generally don’t come to the mortal world.

And the way of ruling here is different from outside.

The dynasty here is just a puppet.

The real masters are the major immortal sects.

The spiritual crops grown in the farmland are the taxes paid to the Immortal Sect.

"It seems that Linghe has a fixed demand for resources in the world of immortal cultivation."

Chen Sanshi thought of Dasheng.

Why would the old emperor hand over the spiritual crops?
Could it be that it was also sent here?

Has he established contact with the immortals and even the immortal sects in this world a long time ago?

"You are also a fairy seeker, right?"

The old man seemed to have seen a lot.

He pointed to the southeast: "Go 500 miles in this direction, and there is a Dazefang market, which is the nearest place with immortals."

"Master, didn't you say that you are not an immortal?!"

Li Pingan felt cheated.

"I really am not."

Chen Sanshi explained: "Didn't you see that I can't even fly? I just went over to take a look."

He drank up the hot water and then took out a few silver ingots from his pocket.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Li. I won't bother you any further."

"Chihiro!"

Chen Sanshi got on the horse.

"you……"

Li Pingan chased after him with a wooden sword: "Then will you still teach me how to practice sword?"

"teach."
