Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 36: Skull Mountain Market

With his understanding of Zhao Xuhe's past lives, Lu Yang quickly became familiar with him, and made Zhao Xuhe feel the respect from an outsider for the first time in a long time.

To be honest, he hasn't felt this way in many years.

Ever since the price of the scapegoat puppet skyrocketed, Panlong Island mysteriously disappeared, and even his master, the Lord of Butian Peak, couldn't figure out the cause and effect, his life has become increasingly difficult.

First, his master was increasingly disappointed in him. Second, his cultivation was struggling. After a full ten years, he was still stuck at the middle stage of Qi Refining, unable to break through the bottleneck. If there was any good news, it was that his master, seeing his deteriorating condition, canceled his engagement with his junior sister.

The world is unpredictable and people are fickle. Zhao Xuhe has experienced it all in the past ten years.

Therefore, when Zhao Xuhe heard that Lu Yang had left the market in time when the price of the Dead Puppet was at its highest point and thus became financially independent, his eyes turned red with envy.

"Alas, Junior Brother, your heart is firm in the Dao, and you are not troubled by wealth. Your future achievements are limitless. It's a pity that I didn't have such a heart in the Dao back then."

"Brother, please don't underestimate yourself."

Lu Yang whispered to comfort him, "Luck is no longer a matter of a single day or a single moment. As long as you are determined to pursue the immortal path, what does a short-term setback mean?"

"you're right."

Zhao Xuhe nodded, seeming to cheer up a little, then looked at Lu Yang tentatively, opened his mouth, but no words came out.

With such an act, Lu Yang's thoughts were obvious.

This is to borrow money.

Lu Yang smiled slightly. If Zhao Xuhe didn't say it, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up. After all, if something is too easy to get, people won't know how to cherish it.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the flying boat:
"We've arrived at Skull Mountain!"

Northern Frontier, Skull Mountain.

It is called a mountain, but in fact it is a large mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles, with peaks gathering together, waves raging, and every inch of land is filled with spiritual energy.

There is a reason why the Holy Sect established a market here. Although it is far inferior to the Sea of ​​Clouds, for ordinary cultivators, Skull Mountain can be regarded as a treasure land. In the center of the mountain range, there is a Bone Cave, where the Holy Sect's market is located.

"The Feng Shui of this place is an extremely yin place."

On the deck of the flying boat, Lu Yang looked down at the Skull Mountain veins and was a little surprised: "Any cultivator buried here will inevitably transform into a zombie within ten years."

"Junior brother has a keen eye."

A rosy glow suddenly appeared, and Fairy Feixia, her feathered cloak fluttering, walked out and said, "That's why the Holy Sect sent us to garrison Skull Mountain and maintain order in the market."

"As Junior Brother said, due to the special feng shui, a large-scale zombie tide appears in Skull Mountain every thirty years. These zombies have no consciousness and only know how to devour living people. This is the risk of Skull Mountain, but also an opportunity. After all, these zombies are excellent materials for refining weapons."

After finishing her explanation, Fairy Feixia continued:

"There's a 'Hundred Bones True Formation' set up in the market town. Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Chen are responsible for two of the four formation's eyes. The remaining two junior brothers and I will each take one."

"I'll follow your orders, Senior Sister."

Fairy Feixia nodded when she heard this, then frowned slightly and glanced at Zhao Xuhe, who was standing next to Lu Yang with his eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on his face.

"Why?" Lu Yang asked curiously, "Senior Sister knows Senior Brother Zhao?"

".I don't know him."

Fairy Feixia indifferently withdrew her gaze from Zhao Xuhe and smiled gently at Lu Yang: "I'll have to ask for your continued care in the future."

After saying this, she flew away on a ray of light.

Zhao Xuhe stayed where he was with a complicated expression. He had obviously guessed that since Lu Yang could be in charge of the market town, his strength was definitely not the middle stage of Qi Refining that he sensed.

"Senior Brother Zhao?"

When Lu Yang's voice came, Zhao Xuhe froze.

His face showed an expression of joy and sadness. He moved his lips but said nothing. At last his movements became respectful and he called out clearly:

"Sir." Seeing this, Lu Yang could only sigh helplessly: "Brother Zhao, I still have official business to attend to. If you have any difficulties in the future, please feel free to contact me."

After saying this, he also let go of the light and left.

Only Zhao Xuhe was left there, his expression uncertain. All the emotions he had before quickly subsided, but his eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

"You're wary of me, it seems you're being too hasty."

Entering the market, Lu Yang recalled Zhao Xuhe's reaction and couldn't help but chuckle, "Just as I expected, he came to this market for another purpose."

"Okay, okay!"

"In this life, we should be considered as close friends!"

Lu Yang was not afraid that Zhao Xuhe would be wary because he had enough patience.

If necessary, he could even give up this life and become Zhao Xuhe's lifelong friend, obtaining intelligence to pave the way for his next life!

While thinking, Lu Yang had already arrived in front of an attic.

This place is one of the four major formation centers of the market town, and it is also the area with the most spiritual energy in Skull Mountain. It is estimated to be 30% of the level of the Holy Sect Cave Mansion.

"Bloodbath Tianhe Sword Formation Diagram, start!"

Lu Yang waved his sleeves, and the Blood Sun Sword Pill flew into the attic and sat at the center. Then, the array patterns expanded and began to replace the original array patterns.

Although the "Bai Hai Huan Zhen Formation" in the market town is even more magical than the Blood-Swallowing Heavenly River Sword Formation, firstly, Lu Yang only occupies one of the formation centers, and secondly, as a formation master, Lu Yang does not like to entrust his life and property to a formation set up by an outsider.

"After all, I have a lot of secrets."

"Furthermore, the Skull Mountain Market has been established for such a long time that even if this 'Hundred Bones True Formation' is more sophisticated, its effects are already well known to everyone."

The more your secrets are exposed, the easier it is for you to be targeted.

Therefore, if there is any powerful person attacking the Skull Mountain Market, he must be prepared with magical powers to break the "Hundred Bones Huanzhen Formation".

So by that time, this Baihai Formation might not be of any use.

Having said that, Lu Yang did not abandon the formation directly. Instead, he opened a new area in the attic, hiding a formation within a formation, which could be considered a trump card.

After doing all this, Lu Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he waved his hand and named the attic "Bloody Clothes Building", which meant that he officially settled in the Skull Mountain Market and had a name for it to the outside world.

At this moment, more than a dozen beams of light flew towards them.

These people are all disciples of the Holy Sect who are arranged in the Luyang area. Their cultivation is generally in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, and they all come to the market to complete tasks.

After the escaping light flew into the Blood-robed Tower, it gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of cultivators of all ages and appearances, men and women. They came to the tower with awe on their faces, but saw a handsome young man in blood-robed standing by the railing, looking down at all of them with a smile on his face.

"See the original poster!"

All the disciples did not dare to be negligent and saluted one after another. Although everyone could address each other as brothers and sisters within the Holy Sect, they still had to address each other by their titles outside the Holy Sect.

What’s more, this is a senior brother who is in the late stage of Qi Refining!

The early, middle, late and great perfection stages of the Qi Refining Realm seem to be just four small realms, but the gap between them can be called a chasm.

"No gift."

Looking at the line of figures below, Lu Yang nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "Not bad, at first glance they are all cattle and horses, with no capable people at all."

Apart from other things, the cultivation environment of the Holy Sect is indeed top-notch, so generally speaking, the cultivators who choose to be transferred outside are either like Lu Yang and Fairy Feixia, who are determined to build a foundation, or like the people in front of him, who have poor qualifications, are old, and have little money, and can no longer survive in the Holy Sect.

"If I want, I can kill everyone with just one sword."

Those who wanted to form a power might be dissatisfied with this situation, but Lu Yang felt that this was just right. The atmosphere of the weak made him feel at ease.
"Just go away. You can decide on your own if it's something small. You don't need to come to me."

After giving the order casually, Lu Yang announced that he would send the guests away, then sealed off the Blood Robe Tower, and prepared to practice peacefully and in seclusion until the opportunity to build the foundation appeared!
