World version update

Chapter 47 Infighting within the sect
In addition to the "Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra", there were many other items in the storage bag. Lu Yan took them out and counted them one by one.

There were a total of 2,300 spirit stones, two mid-grade magic tools, five bottles of unknown elixirs, two classics, and more than ten first-grade high-quality spirit talismans in the storage bag.

Apart from this, there was nothing else in the entire storage bag.

"So poor?"

There was a look of surprise in Lu Yan's eyes. This amount of wealth seemed far from being in line with Cheng Yu's status as a great foundation-building monk who came from a large sect.

At this moment, under Lu Yan's order, the evil spirits who were searching the surrounding areas began to return gradually and placed the two magic weapons in front of Lu Yan.

White bone bell and blood hook flying sword.

Both items were top-grade magical weapons that Cheng Yu had used in previous battles. The bone bell, which was as white as jade, was already covered with cracks and had been damaged in the battle.

The Blood Hook Flying Sword was also eroded by many evil spirits, and most of its spiritual power was lost.

Looking at the two trophies in front of him, Lu Yan thought carefully about the previous battle.

The blood-bearded giant ghost's sneak attack destroyed the opponent's umbrella-shaped high-grade magic weapon at the beginning, and then consumed more than ten second-grade talismans, magic robes, and flying blood-colored lotus platforms in the battle.

Including the top-grade magic weapon, the White Bone Bell, which he used at the beginning, and the Blood Hook Flying Sword which he used when he wanted to launch a sneak attack, Cheng Yu's wealth is already considered substantial.

Basically, most of the things that can be used in the storage bag have been used, and the remaining things are quite reasonable.

"It's a pity that most of the magic weapons were destroyed. Even the flying magic weapon, the blood-colored lotus platform, was shattered by the giant spirit's attack. Otherwise, it could still be used."

Lu Yan whispered with some regret, and at this moment another evil ghost presented a storage bag, which came from He Luyuan.

A cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training naturally did not have much wealth. At most, he had only more than fifty spirit stones. However, the low-grade flying boat magic weapon in his storage bag made Lu Yan very satisfied.

After taking a look at the battlefield, everything seemed to have been cleaned up, and Lu Yan was preparing to collect the evil spirit and leave.

At this moment, a fierce ghost suddenly poked its head out from under the ground and was trying to drag something out from the ground.

After a careful inspection, Lu Yan noticed that the evil ghost was holding a formation plate that was buried deep underground.

The array plate seems to be of earth attribute and can be integrated into the earth to evolve the array base.

Seeing this, Lu Yan was immediately surprised and personally dragged the formation plate out of the ground.

The words "Gathering Spirits" were clearly written above the array plate. Upon closer inspection, Lu Yan discovered that it was actually a second-order array. This immediately reminded him of the rich spiritual energy he had just experienced when he entered the courtyard.

"The rich spiritual energy in the courtyard before should be related to this formation, right?"

However, Lu Yan doesn’t have time to study it right now.

After Lu Yan put away the formation plate, his eyes fell on the three bodies of the scavengers on the wooden frame.

Lu Yan had only met the three of them once, and to some extent he even saved their lives.

All three of them are extraordinary beings. In the apocalyptic version, as long as they don't take the initiative to go deep into the ruined city, they will most likely be able to save their lives.

But who would have thought that with the version change, the three people who had just escaped a disaster suddenly encountered a bigger crisis. They were caught by Cheng Yu, a disciple of the Red Lotus Demon Sect and tortured.

Sighing softly, Lu Yan dropped a mysterious yellow merit fire, which engulfed the three bodies of the scavenger team.

Flames rose in the forest in the middle of the night, quickly turning the courtyard into a sea of ​​fire and erasing all traces of Lu Yan.

Then Lu Yan piloted the flying boat he had just obtained, turned around and sped towards Qinggu Market.

Early in the morning, Lu Yan drove the flying boat out of Wushan.

Looking back at the endless mountain range, Lu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yan had intended to rush back to Qinggu Market last night, but he overlooked the biggest threat in Wushan, the monsters that were everywhere.

During the night, Lu Yan accidentally broke into the territory of three foundation-building monsters and was chased by the monsters.

If it weren't for the protection of the Hundred Souls Banner, Lu Yan would probably be gone by now.

This narrow escape made Lu Yan sober up from his slightly inflated mentality. The combat power of the Foundation Establishment Realm was indeed quite good among these casual cultivators, but it was only at the bottom of the entire Xianxia version.

In the Xianxia version, there are countless powerful people who can threaten him.

The Xianxia version is just one of the world version updates, and it can even be said to be a relatively safe version.

"There will definitely be more threats when the world is updated in the future. We must not get carried away by our mere Foundation Establishment Realm combat power."

Whispering in his heart, Lu Yan walked towards the entrance of Qinggu Market.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, Lu Yan saw a long queue at the gate of the market. More than a dozen Qi-cultivating monks in green uniforms were arrogantly directing the wandering monks to line up.

Seeing this, Lu Yan was shocked and stopped. He did not approach but chose to watch from afar.

I saw that the casual cultivators who were standing at the front seemed to be saying something to these Qi-cultivating cultivators, which caused fierce dissatisfaction among some of the casual cultivators. During the argument between the two sides, some of the casual cultivators even wanted to turn around and leave.

At this moment, a beam of light came flying from afar, and a young monk in a robe landed above the entrance of the market town, releasing his foundation-building aura without reservation.

All the monks present were suddenly startled, and even the few monks who were trying to leave stopped.

The young cultivator said loudly: "I am Xie Yun, an inner sect disciple of Qingwu Sect. This time I am following the order of the Qingwu Sect's Law Enforcement Hall to track down the traces of the demons.

All you have to do is open your storage bag and let us check it. Once you pass the inspection, you can enter the Qinggu Market."

There was an uproar among the casual cultivators.

The importance of storage bags to cultivators is self-evident, especially since most of the people present are independent cultivators and all have their own secrets to a greater or lesser extent.

They just came to the market to trade. If Qinggu Market doesn't work out, they can go to other markets. What's the big deal about handing their secrets to other people?

"We won't go into Qinggu Market!"

"It's just a market town. I can go to another market town at worst."

Even Lu Yan took a step back without leaving a trace.

Other cultivators were only worried about their secrets being discovered, but Lu Yan’s situation was completely different.

Once the Hundred Souls Banner and the magic skills in the storage bag are exposed, he will definitely be turned into a magic cultivator, and countless troubles will follow.

"quiet!"

The sound of a clear sword chant was heard, and a flying sword circled beside Xie Yun, his sharp eyes staring at everyone present.

"This is not an inquiry, but an order from the Qingwu Sect's Law Enforcement Hall!"

"After checking the storage bag and confirming that it is not the evil spirit's lackey, we will let you go. Anyone who violates the Qingwu Sect's decree will be killed!"

Everyone in the field was silent, not daring to look directly at the sharp gaze of the foundation-building cultivator.

Lu Yan also lowered his head, but there was no fear in his eyes, instead there was a hint of doubt.

“Qinggu Market is Qingwu Sect’s own market. Forcibly inspecting the monks’ storage bags is undoubtedly a move that damages its reputation.

Once its reputation is ruined, independent cultivators will no longer go to Qinggu Market, and this market for cultivating immortals will inevitably decline."

“What’s more, there are so many ways to find demon monks, and this is undoubtedly the least efficient and most costly method.

Paying such a huge price but getting nothing in return, this doesn't seem like searching for the magic path at all, but rather deliberately damaging the reputation of Qinggu Market!"

Lu Yan immediately thought of the lost Zhulin Market, which was under the jurisdiction of which only Qinggu Market was left, and was governed by the Jade Fairy.

"Their target is not the demon monk, but the Jade Fairy!"

"For a master of the Qingwu Sect to only have a market town to guard, is already a laughing stock in the sect.

If Qinggu Market continues to decline, Fairy Zhuoyu will definitely bear the main responsibility, and her position as the true successor will be shaken!"
