I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 532 Those who want to be dogs won't come near.
"It's really strange that no one has informed on us."

Fina, who was assisting Feng Xue in remotely monitoring each inheritor of the "Ziwei Nourishing Spirit Technique," showed a puzzled expression. Compared to Mo Ying and Liu Yunxi, who had not experienced much of the coldness and warmth of human nature, her understanding of human nature was obviously much deeper.

In addition, her own background in the underworld made her skeptical of Feng Xue's project from the very beginning.

Even though she was raised as a tool from childhood, before she learned the truth, she was still the daughter of the family head on the surface. Naturally, she knew a lot about the family's practices. In her opinion, even if most cultivators could keep secrets, there would always be those who took the technique to the Righteous Alliance to report it.

But the result is...

Everyone chose to keep it a secret.

This struck her as incredible.

If she hadn't been present throughout the entire process of selling the spirit fruit and confirmed that Feng Xue wasn't selecting customers, she would have seriously suspected that Feng Xue had secretly screened them.

"The reason is actually very simple: because they are monks."

While continuing to set up her stall, Feng Xue explained using telepathy:

"The saying goes, 'All the world's hustle and bustle is for profit,' and no one is born a traitor. Those who are willing to be dogs do so because it brings greater benefits than being human. So, have you considered what benefits you could gain from reporting the existence of a cultivation technique that doesn't require spirit stones? Wealth? Spirit stones? Status? None of these. The technique is already in their minds. Since they know to report it, they understand its significance. The only result of reporting it is their own destruction. So what's in it for them?"

"..." Fina was speechless for a moment, but still said:

"Not everyone can rationally judge gains and losses. Some people are just servile and like to be dogs for the strong. In the past, the Lu Bo family often encountered fools who knew they would most likely be silenced, but still came to them."

"That's why I said, it's because they are cultivators." Feng Xue sighed, saying helplessly.
"To become a cultivator, one needs culture and vision. If there really are those servile fools like you described, they shouldn't be appearing alone in such a public market. Instead, they should be chasing after those important figures, flattering them. Even if they can't become servants, they should try their best to appear where the other party might be and avoid anything that might cause misunderstandings."

"Buying spirit fruits from street stalls in the market is inherently a gray area. The people of those prestigious sects might not care about the outrageous behavior of rogue cultivators, or rather, this situation is tacitly approved. But for the kind of servile people you mentioned, they would be furious at the mere sight of them. In order to maintain their 'purity,' they would never get close. Even if they did get close, they would definitely do so with the people from the prestigious sects."

"As for the prestigious sects, apart from the top-level beneficiaries, the middle and lower levels understand the significance of this. If they obtain this technique, they will hide it even more deeply than ordinary rogue cultivators, because they know very well that if it is exposed, they may not be able to catch me, the one who released the technique, but he, who knows the technique, is doomed."

"As for the top echelons of prestigious sects, let's not even talk about whether those kinds of people would come to this kind of market to buy spirit fruits worth a few spirit stones. Even if they were to come in disguise, they would be the kind whose true strength can be seen at a glance. At worst, we can just sell them 'fake spirit fruits.' Anyway, there are hardly any stalls in this market that don't sell counterfeit goods."

Upon hearing Feng Xue's explanation, Fina suddenly understood. Liu Yunxi, who was standing to the side, didn't quite understand, but she never cared.

In the folk world, she would have been somewhat mindful of the absurd karmic debts of humanity, but here, with her physical enhancement-like supernatural abilities, her thousand years of cultivation, and the outrageous talent Feng Xue had bestowed upon her, there were truly very few cultivators she had encountered who could match her. Therefore, she simply yawned and said:
"So we'll just stay here and sell fruit?"

"Of course not." Feng Xue shook her head, glanced at the sky, and then said, "We're going to travel to most of the low- and mid-level markets to sell fruit!"

……

Meanwhile, Lin Feng left his residence and sped away in a flash of light, eventually finding a remote town. He didn't land directly there, but first disguised himself, lowered his cultivation level, and made his appearance look older. He circled around twice before finally arriving at the town.

Lin Feng had barely entered the city when he saw an old man, clearly feigning poverty, approach him.
“My esteemed master, our town has already paid its taxes this year…”

"I'm not here to collect taxes." Although he saw through the other person's intentions at a glance, Lin Feng didn't intend to get entangled, and simply said in a friendly tone:

"I was originally from a village south of the town. I left home to cultivate myself years ago, and now that I've returned, everything has changed..."

Upon hearing what the cultivator said, the town mayor was terrified. Although it was said that immortals could not arbitrarily abuse mortals, if there was a grudge, that was another matter. Regardless of whether there was a real grudge, if you killed everyone, then you could do whatever they wanted.
Thinking of this, he immediately racked his brains, trying to recall anything about the village in the south of the city, but he couldn't remember any relevant information.

Lin Feng simply shook his head at this:

"I have been away from home for a hundred years. I have not returned to find my relatives. It is just that the path to immortality is long and my talent is limited. I plan to find a place to settle down and live out my days. I wonder if any of the abandoned fields around the town are owned?"

Although Lin Feng said that, the town mayor dared not be negligent. Regardless of how well Lin Feng fared in the cultivation world, he was utterly ruthless to mortals. As for the protection of the Righteous Path Alliance… what's the use of holding them accountable if everyone dies?

Not to mention that the righteous alliance's punishment is cutting off the supply of spirit stones. For cultivators who want to improve, that is naturally a severe punishment, but for those who have given up cultivation and are just taking it easy, how much of a threat can it pose?
Thinking of this, the town mayor, without bothering to check whether it was still there, said directly:
"This old man still has a few acres of fertile land at home. If the immortal master doesn't mind, this old man can give it to him..."

"No need, I only want unclaimed wasteland." Lin Feng shook his head. With the "External Cultivation Method" technique from the Ziwei Nourishing Spirit Technique, he could use the Great Source Spiritual Qi to perform spells like the Sweet Rain Technique. It wouldn't be difficult for him to grow some low-level medicinal herbs needed for Bigu Pills. If it weren't for the fact that randomly settling down would easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings, he wouldn't even bother to come here to inform them.

Now that everything that needed to be said had been said, he was too lazy to stay any longer. He soared into the sky and flew away in a rather ugly manner.

This ugliness was intentional. The ability to fly meant he could use magic, which the town mayor wouldn't dare offend. The ugly flight, combined with his previous words, could create the image of someone who had given up cultivation. Even if the town mayor talked about it with other cultivators later, it would only be seen as someone at the Foundation Establishment level, and wouldn't attract much attention. If he really wanted to covet the resources at that level, he could dispose of them at will.
