Mortal, marry the old demon's sister and build an immortal family

Chapter 139 Why do I feel like I've been cheated? !

"Now, they are already prepared and will never easily enter this manor."

"Well, after you obtain the right to trade, invite them into your house and tell them that you have a precious gift for them."

"As the saying goes, money can attract people. If that doesn't work, you should find a way to attract other foundation-building cultivators to come. Remember, they must have good qualifications!"

The old man on the stone slab sighed softly and no longer had much hope for this group of foundation-building cultivators.

He really didn't expect that this was the release of his spiritual consciousness. When he went to investigate, he actually aroused the other party's vigilance.

This vigilance is truly terrifying.

If he had been so vigilant in the early years, he would not have ended up like this.

He was tricked by someone to such an extent that he had to rely on taking over someone else's body to survive.

He also tried to dispel the evil poison, but unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain, and in the end he ended up half dying.

A dignified Jindan cultivator can only exert one-tenth or one-twelfth of his strength now.

This is also the reason why he has to use the formation.

After being tricked last time, his courage has been completely shattered. What if those youngsters who have established their foundation have some hidden cards and use them against him again?
Wouldn't that mean death and disappearance?

"Yes! Ancestor!"

After bowing and kowtowing, Patriarch Sun slowly left the secret room.

A month later.

The battle for the right to trade officially begins.

According to the head of the Sun family, the immortal masters invited by the ten families were all foundation-building cultivators without exception.

Ye Xiaotian didn't have any doubts about this.

But I heard from others that in the past, the competitions were always between Qi-cultivating cultivators, and there had never been any competition between foundation-building cultivators.

But for some unknown reason, such an unexpected thing happened this time, and all ten families invited foundation-building cultivators.

The person who went into battle this time was undoubtedly Ye Xiaotian. They followed him and got on a car pulled by a monster, and sped straight to somewhere on the island.

This time, after the beast cart ran for two hours, it pulled them into a city built entirely of white stone.

When entering the city, there were many mortal guards guarding the gate.

They will not question anyone who goes out, but anyone who enters the city must produce a token that is very similar to Ye Xiaotian's badge for them to check.

However, when Ye Xiaotian entered the city, the guards just took a cylinder-like thing and shook it at Ye Xiaotian a few times. After seeing the green light coming out of the cylinder, they immediately bowed respectfully to Ye Xiaotian and only checked the tokens of the head of the Sun family and Wang Changqing.

Ye Xiaotian looked at these guards. Although there was no fluctuation of spiritual power on their bodies, each of them was agile.

But what curious him most was the cylinder.

These guards have no spiritual power, but they can actually use this to identify cultivators. It's really amazing.

He is in Tiannan, but there is no such item, and mortals cannot distinguish between cultivators.

Ye Xiaotian felt curious and couldn't help but look at the cylinder a few more times.

Wang Changqing, who was standing next to him, saw all of this and explained to Ye Xiaotian with a smile:
"That is a spirit disk that allows us mortals to identify the identities of the immortal masters!"

"Spirit plate?" Ye Xiaotian was slightly stunned when he heard the name, but immediately remembered that there was indeed a palm-sized jade plate inlaid on one end of the cylinder, so he nodded slightly and said nothing.

He was just curious and had no intention of exploring further.

Then, as Ye Xiaotian watched coldly, the animal cart drove along a street paved with white stones towards the city center.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, coming and going all the time, and it seems to be getting more lively as you go further.

Most of these people's clothes were white. Even if they wore other colors, they were all light yellow, slightly green and other light colors. There was not a single person dressed in bright colors.

Moreover, among these people, there are obvious differences in status. Often, one or two people with expensive clothes walk in front, followed closely by three or four people with shabby clothes, who are obviously servants.

In the end, because there were too many people and animal carts, Han Li and his team had to slow down their car before they could continue moving forward.

After a lot of effort, the animal cart finally arrived at a huge square in the center of the city.

This square covers an area of ​​dozens of acres and is packed with people. Wherever Ye Xiaotian looks, he sees black human heads everywhere.

And people from all directions continued to pour into the square.

There are many shops around the square, crowded with people.

In the middle of the store there are some temporary stalls, which also seem to be crowded.

In the middle, there are even more people, talking eagerly about something, making it bustling and lively.

Ye Xiaotian looked at this scene and made a rough estimate in his mind. With the crowd standing so densely, there must be at least tens of thousands of people crowding the square at the same time.

It is just like in the previous life, when the National Day holiday comes, all major scenic spots show signs of congestion.

However, those signs of congestion were still a little worse than what we see now.

Now that the animal cart has reached this point, it naturally cannot move forward.

The head of the Sun family took the lead in getting out of the car, and took Ye Xiaotian and others to walk towards a palace-like building on the edge of the square.

This palace is about ten meters high, obviously much taller than other buildings.

There was also a row of guards standing in front of the huge palace gate, holding shining spears and guarding there, not allowing anyone else to approach there casually.

"Today is the market opening day of Kuixing Island once every three months, so the number of people in this 'Dongshi City' is several times more than usual. Basically, people from a dozen towns in the east will come here to trade some rare items that are not normally available." The head of the Sun family walked forward while turning back to explain all this to Ye Xiaotian.

Ye Xiaotian smiled faintly and followed him to the front of the palace.

The head of the Sun family walked up to the guard and said a few words to him. The guard then waved his hand, indicating that they could go in.

So, the head of the Sun family hurriedly called Ye Xiaotian and Wang Changqing and walked in together.

Once you enter the temple, it seems much cooler and quieter.

In the corridor behind the door, there were dozens of people who looked to be of some status, whispering in groups of three or five.

Seeing the arrival of the head of the Sun family, they all looked at him with some hostility.

But at this moment, the purple wooden door at the other end of the corridor opened, and a young man in white clothes, about twenty years old, walked out. He had a delicate and fair face and looked very weak.

"Fellow Taoist, you are well."

This person was none other than the Foundation Establishment cultivator who went to persuade Ye Xiaotian and his group that day.

IOU.

"How are you, Brother Bai?" Seeing the other party's haggard appearance, Ye Xiaotian just nodded without saying much.

After all, the two of them were not very familiar with each other. Just at this moment, another monk came up to them.

"Is it Patriarch Sun? Everyone else has arrived, except for the Sun family."

"But only the cultivators who take part in the challenge can enter. Master Sun, just wait here for the result!" The young man looked at Ye Xiaotian kindly, and said politely to Master Sun.

The young man's cultivation level was clearly revealed by Ye Xiaotian's glance, and he was at the fourth or fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

"My surname is Wen, you can call me Wen Qiang, senior." After leading Ye Xiaotian into the wooden door, the young man turned around and asked with a smile.

"Wen Qiang?"

"Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Ye Xiaotian turned around and looked the young man up and down.

I really want to ask, do you have a daughter, her name is Wen Siyue?

But in the end she held back, just glanced him up and down, then turned and left.

There was a circular hall with more than thirty monks with different expressions sitting or standing inside.

Ye Xiaotian took a rough look and found that including himself, there were only about twelve or thirteen foundation-building cultivators.

As for the other Qi-refining monks, they all had bitter expressions on their faces, knowing that they were here to serve as sparring partners.

In the past, the competition for the right to trade would never be so fierce, and those sent out would all be Qi-refining cultivators.

But today, for some reason, so many foundation-building monks are participating in it.

This is really puzzling.

"It looks like everyone is here, so let's start drawing lots right away! The winner will be decided by a fight, and you are only allowed to injure people but not kill them, otherwise you will be disqualified as a winner." An old man with a Taoist look sitting opposite the crowd said very briefly.

"Copyright monk!"

Ye Xiaotian's face opened wide, his brows furrowed, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart.

Logically speaking, how could a Jindan cultivator be sent to manage such a battle for the right to trade?

Although he was a newcomer, he felt that the benefits of the trading rights were not yet big enough for a Jindan cultivator to consider normal.

"Could it be that there is another hidden story behind this?"

Just as he was frowning, another obscure spiritual sense attacked Ye Xiaotian.

This spiritual consciousness was extremely familiar. It seemed to be the same spiritual consciousness that suddenly attacked him when he went to the Sun family that day.

Ye Xiaotian suddenly raised his head, and his sharp eyes pierced the young monk.

"Damn it, why was he so alert? I underestimated this youngster." The ancestor of the Sun family, who had completed the possession of another person's body, immediately turned his head and no longer looked at Ye Xiaotian.

"Although my cultivation is only at the early stage of Jindan, relying on the secret techniques of spiritual consciousness that I have cultivated, I am already comparable to cultivators at the late stage of Jindan or even at the perfect stage, and I may even be one or two times stronger."

"This young man is only in the middle stage of foundation building. Even if he has secret protection, he can't easily discover my spying."

"Could it be that another Jindan cultivator has concealed his cultivation level?" The Sun family's ancestor, who had just succeeded in taking over another person's body, couldn't help feeling a sense of fear in his heart.

Now, he has taken over the body of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Relying on his previous methods, he dares to claim that he is invincible within the foundation building period and will not be afraid of anyone.

But if the other party is a Jindan cultivator.
"This level of spiritual awareness is definitely not something a foundation-building cultivator can possess. In addition, Patriarch Sun invited me to enter the manor that day. Tsk! Could it be that some old Jindan monster is taking over someone else's body?"

"Luckily I didn't go in that day."

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He does not yet have the strength to go head-on with a Jindan cultivator.

If I had really listened to the words of the head of the Sun family that day and went in, the consequences would have been disastrous.

When he looked at this person again, his eyes were filled with strong vigilance.

When the ancestor of the Sun family looked at Ye Xiaotian, he felt more and more that this person was a Jindan cultivator in disguise, suppressing his cultivation and sneaking into the team. Could it be that he did it for that matter?
The two foxes, big and small, were wary of each other. They silently retreated a few steps, kept a certain distance between them, and then hid themselves in the crowd.

After everyone arrived, the old man who had reached the Jindan stage took out a green jade tube, which contained more than twenty bamboo sticks.

"Okay, those who want to challenge can draw one. Those with the same number will compete with each other first. The winner will be eligible to challenge the representative of the original merchant."

After hearing this, most of the thirty people stared at the jade tube.

Suddenly, a layer of green light emerged from the jade tube, covering the bamboo sticks. The consciousness of the others was automatically repelled from the green light, and some were even slightly affected, and their bodies could not help but sway a few times.

The other monks who did not use their spiritual sense to detect the jade tube showed an expression of gloating.

Ye Xiaotian took a look at the green light. With his current spiritual awareness, he could easily penetrate into it without being affected at all and without being noticed by others.

In this case, it would be better not to take action if possible.

Everyone came forward one by one to draw lots. The rule was that twos versus twos, odd numbers versus even numbers, one versus two, three versus four, and so on.

After Ye Xiaotian found out that the person who drew number 2 was a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, he walked straight forward and took number 1 in his hand.

"Number one." The old man glanced at Ye Xiaotian and called out expressionlessly.

Suddenly, the Qi-refining cultivator who drew number 2 turned pale, bowed, and automatically gave up.

There was no other way. He was just a cultivator at the 11th level of Qi Refining. Asking him to fight against a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, wasn't that just asking for trouble?

What if the other party can't stop and seriously injures him?
The rules of this competition only state that killing is not allowed, but it does not say that someone cannot be disabled or seriously injured.

Before the competition, the management of Kuixing Island also made the rules clear: injuries are at the individual's own risk and no medical treatment will be provided.

It was for this reason that the Qi-refining cultivator chose to abstain without any hesitation.

second round.

This time, there were 15 people left. The two Qi-refining monks bowed to the remaining 13 people, then turned to the Jindan monks present and gave up their rights and left.

Just at this time, the old man who had reached the Jindan stage spoke.

"For cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, there is no need to compete anymore. Those cultivators in the early and middle stages should come and draw lots. The winner will obtain the right to trade."

Ye Xiaotian is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, so naturally he cannot avoid further struggle.

However, his brows furrowed even more. Among the remaining thirteen people, eight were in the middle stage of foundation building, two were in the late stage of foundation building, and the other three were in the early stage of foundation building.

"If you say there is no problem in the fight for the trading rights this time, I won't believe it even if you kill me." Ye Xiaotian frowned. He thought it was just a simple battle, but in your current situation, you may have been drawn into a whirlpool without knowing it and cannot extricate yourself.

After more than an hour, the result of the fight came out and the loser was kicked out.

The Jindan old man looked at the remaining ten people and said calmly:
"I'm sure you've all noticed that this battle for the right to trade is extraordinary. Some people know the reason, while others don't. I'll explain it again."
