World version update

Chapter 49: What are you risking your life for with just a few hundred spirit stones?
From the very beginning, Lu Yan had no intention of letting the Qingwu Sect disciples inspect the storage bag.

Other cultivators at most carry some magical instruments, or practice some magical secrets, and at most put a corpse in their storage bag.

Strictly speaking, these people will not pass the review, but they have little to do with the evil ways.

Once the contents of Lu Yan's storage bag are exposed, it may no longer be a problem for the magic cultivator, but a rising magic star, a natural demon!
Lu Yan knew very well that once the things in his storage bag were exposed, Xie Yun would definitely attack him.

Rather than passively taking the beating, it is better to kill everyone present at the last moment before the censorship to block the news.

In front of eight hundred evil spirits, cultivators below the foundation building stage had no room for resistance at all. The only person that Lu Yan was afraid of was Xie Yun.

Xie Yun and Cheng Yu are both in the early stage of foundation building, and are both disciples from large sects. Xie Yun's methods will not be perfectly restrained by Lu Yan like Cheng Yu's, so he will definitely be much more difficult to deal with than Cheng Yu.

What’s more important is that Xie Yun is in the air. If the Hundred Souls Banner is opened immediately, it will not be able to trap Xie Yun. With the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator flying with a sword, Lu Yan will not be able to catch up at all.

If Xie Yun cannot be killed, there will be no way for Lu Yan to silence and block the news, and the righteous sects will still keep chasing him.

You have to know that there is information mapping between different versions of the world!
Once Lu Yan is hunted down by the righteous sect in the Xianxia world, in the urban version, through information mapping, he will be hunted down by the federal officials of the city councils, hunted down by the gathering places of survivors in the apocalyptic version, and hunted down by the righteous church in the secret version.
When he thought of that scene, Lu Yan couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

No matter how strong he thinks he is and how many cross-version methods he has, he cannot resist all the righteous organizations in different versions of the world.

Unless Lu Yan can hold on for three months and choose the urban version in the next version update and kill all the righteous strongmen, directly silencing them is the worst option.

As the independent cultivators gradually passed the examination, there were fewer and fewer cultivators left on the scene.

Most of the independent cultivators left Qinggu Market without looking back the moment they passed through it, for fear of encountering similar troubles again.

Seeing this scene, the curve of Xie Yun's mouth became more obvious.

When it comes to the dispute over the true teachings, the sect's top leaders are no fools.

Simply putting the blame on the indulging demonic cultivators is useful, but it will not play a decisive role unless he can really catch a great cultivator of the Demonic Path's upper sect, or a genius demonic cultivator in the Qi training stage, in the Qinggu Market.

But if these independent cultivators are made to feel a sense of crisis and the reputation of Qinggu Market is damaged, the entire Xiuxian Market will decline.

If a true disciple cannot protect the two markets under his command, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the sect. Then the disciple behind him can propose to the Council of Elders to remove Fairy Zhuoyu from her position as a true disciple.

If it were three years ago, even if Fairy Zhuoyu didn't have a market under her control, no one would dare to make this proposal.

But now Fairy Zhuoyu's talent and potential have been mostly exhausted, and it will be difficult for her to advance to the Golden Core stage in the future. There are definitely people willing to take advantage of this and let the sect make room for a true disciple.

With the help of this achievement, he may even have the hope of becoming a direct disciple in the future!

Thinking of this, Xie Yun felt a burning sensation in his heart.

At this moment, a practitioner in the crowd below suddenly moved.

The other party looked quite young. At his age and with the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi training, he was already quite good among the casual cultivators.

This young man was Lu Yan, who had already made up his mind.

Walking to the bottom of Xie Yun, Lu Yan bowed to Xie Yun in mid-air and said:

"I want to personally hand over my storage bag to Senior Brother Xie for inspection."

"Senior Brother?" Xie Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yan below with an unfriendly look.

How can a mere casual cultivator be qualified to call him senior brother?

Feeling unhappy, Xie Yun was about to open his mouth to reprimand him, but he heard Lu Yan say:
"The things in the storage bag are related to Senior Sister Ji."

Xie Yun was immediately startled.

At this juncture, Xie Yun could only think of one person who could be called Senior Sister Ji, and that was Ji Xingyao, who was known as the Jade Carving Fairy.

But Ji Xingyao's name is rarely known in the sect, let alone a mere casual cultivator.

With a sense of importance rising in his heart, Xie Yun slowly descended to the ground, looking down at the casual cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training in front of him, and the invisible pressure of foundation building was quietly released.

Facing Xie Yun's pressure, Lu Yan just smiled indifferently. The Xuanhuang Merit Fire remained in his body without being ignited, and he easily dispelled the pressure of the foundation-building.

Such a casual action immediately made Xie Yun pay more attention to it.

"what?"

Lu Yan didn't say anything, but took out a blue storage bag from his arms and threw it to Xie Yun.

Xie Yun could tell at a glance that Lu Yan had other storage bags on him, but he didn't bother to care about it at the moment. Instead, he focused his attention on the storage bag. When his spiritual sense probed into the storage bag, Xie Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hand holding the storage bag trembled slightly.

In the storage bag, there was a piece of spiritual marrow ore half a person's height!

With Xie Yun's vision, he could naturally see that the grade of this spiritual marrow ore was extremely high, and it could be said to be a truly strategic-level resource.

While Xie Yun was in shock, he did not notice that there was a slight change in the look in Lu Yan's eyes when he looked at him.

Lu Yan's original intention was to use Ji Xingyao's name to cover up the matter. It would naturally be the best option for both parties to live in peace.

But if Xie Yun didn't know what was best for him, this was the perfect time to use the Hundred Souls Banner at close range to prevent Xie Yun from escaping.

After recovering from the shock of the Spirit Mine, Xie Yun waved his hand to set up a soundproofing barrier and asked in a slightly dry voice:

"Where did this thing come from?"

Lu Yan just shook his head: "This is not something that Senior Brother Xie should know."

Xie Yun's eyes were filled with ferocity: "Don't you know that the person behind me is hostile to Senior Sister Ji?

Aren't you afraid that I will kill you here, take this thing, and then turn you into a demon monk?"

Lu Yan smiled softly, with a bit of pity in his eyes:

"Xie Senior Brother, there is an old saying in my hometown: What are you playing with for a job worth a few hundred spirit stones?"

"The person behind you wants to compete for Senior Sister Ji's position and sent you to Qinggu Market to destroy the market's reputation. Although this matter is not fair, it is within the scope of the sect's rules. Senior Sister Ji can't do anything to you.

You should also understand how valuable this item in the storage bag is.

To tell you the truth, this treasure is related to Senior Sister Ji’s path.

If the position of the true teaching is lost, Senior Sister Ji can still practice. But if the path is cut off, what do you think she will do? "

Even though most of Ji Xingyao's potential was wasted, he was still a great cultivator at the peak of the foundation-building stage, and his combat power was unmatched in the foundation-building realm of Qingwu Sect.

The reason why they could do these little tricks was because Ji Xingyao was subject to the sect's rules.

Once Ji Xingyao's path is cut off, given her character she will definitely rise up in resistance and kill all those who stand in her way with a sword.

Xie Yun was only in the initial stage of foundation building. If Ji Xingyao had the intention to kill him, it would only take one strike of the sword to kill him.

Thinking of the horrifying scene, Xie Yun shuddered and subconsciously handed the storage bag in his hand to Lu Yan.

But then Xie Yun suddenly stopped moving, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Yan: "You said that this treasure belongs to Senior Sister Ji, then what evidence do you have to prove the relationship between you and Senior Sister Ji?"

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and reached his right hand into his clothes on his chest. For some reason, when Xie Yun saw Lu Yan's action, he felt uneasy.

When Lu Yan stretched out his right hand, there was already an extra photo in his hand.

Xie Yun didn't know what the photo was, but he could clearly see that it was a woman wearing strange clothes.

Different from the current style in the world of immortal cultivation, the skirt worn by the woman barely reached her thighs, and her upper body clothes outlined her graceful curves. The degree of exposure was almost on par with those evil women of the Hehuan Sect.

Upon closer inspection, this woman looked exactly like Ji Xingyao.

"This"

Xie Yun was greatly shocked. No one would have thought that the high and mighty Fairy Zhuo Yu would wear such indecent clothes in private.

Xie Yun was about to take another look at the photo with a critical mindset, but Lu Yan casually put it in his arms.

"Xie Senior Brother, how is it?"

Xie Yun's gaze returned to Lu Yan, with five parts of amazement, four parts of admiration, and a barely perceptible amount of envy in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that she would like someone like you."

Shaking his head and sighing, Xie Yun threw the storage bag to Lu Yan and waved his hand to lift the ban.

"You go!"

Lu Yan took back the storage bag, turned around and strode into the Qinggu Market.
