Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 36, Awakening

Mu Yunsheng's eyes were filled with shock as he felt the powerful cold pressure that enveloped his entire body. He could no longer control the Xuanhuang Demon-Subduing Tower that was activated by the secret button in his hand.

I just felt that if I let out, I would die.

"Uncle Xiong..." The girl called Long'er stood in front of Mu Yunsheng without any defense, then turned around and looked behind her.

An old and skinny man walked slowly out of the bamboo forest, followed by a burly man who was nearly ten feet tall.

The burly man's eyes were pure white, without a trace of life, and scales like iron armor grew all over his body. He was a corpse puppet made with witchcraft, not a living person.

"The spiritual cicada has found the Miaoyang spiritual bamboo shoots, but this little brother found it first. His red-headed centipede is very handsome, but the refining method is too crude."

The young girl Long Liyou said with a smile when she saw the old man coming, her face full of a carefree and happy smile. After that, she turned sideways to look at Tianlong in front of Mu Yunsheng.

"It's indeed rough." The old man Xiong Gang walked into the Xiaocha bamboo forest, looked at the five-foot-long celestial dragon with a red head, black back and yellow feet, nodded, and then a pair of eyes as eerie as ghost fire on his skinny and old face looked at Mu Yunsheng.

"I am a junior cultivator from Qianyuan Prefecture, and I am honored to meet Elder Xiong from Longsai." Mu Yunsheng felt a chill in his heart when Xiong Gang's eyes, which were like ghost fire, were stared at him. He quickly saluted and stopped transferring his true energy into the Xuanhuang Demon-Suppressing Tower.

He did not give out his family name, the Mu family of Caoyang, as he had done in the past. Mu Yunsheng did not even give out his own surname, and he did not even think of turning around and running away.

An ordinary cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining cannot escape from the hands of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the Xuanhuang Demon-Subduing Tower in Mu Yunsheng's hand is not a flying magic weapon.

What's more, Xiong Gang is a late-stage Qi-refining cultivator from Gudao Longsai, one of the seven top forces in Qianyuan Province. His strength is far more terrifying than that of an ordinary late-stage Qi-refining cultivator like Old Man Kushe.

I don’t know how many mysterious methods and tricks he has in his hands.

"Hmm~ quite smart." Xiong Gang nodded slightly, dispersing the pressure that enveloped Mu Yunsheng. His old and skinny body looked not as tall as Long Liyou, who was only a sixteen-year-old girl next to him.

"Thank you, senior!" Mu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted Xiong Gang again, then slowly walked backwards with Tianlong.

When he retreated to a certain distance, he bowed respectfully to Xiong Gang again and turned to leave.

"Where are you going, little brother? You haven't taken your Miao Yangling bamboo shoots away yet." Seeing Mu Yunsheng retreat, Long Liyou said hurriedly with doubts in his eyes.

Mu Yunsheng turned around and stopped walking, looking at Long Liyou who was calling him, and then seeing Xiong Gang who was looking at him with a blank expression but a faint smile, his thoughts raced and he quickly replied with clever words.

"Meeting is destiny. I'll give this Miaoyang Ling Bamboo Shoot to you, fellow Taoist. There should be three or four more Miaoyang Ling Bamboo Shoots growing alongside it in the land nearby."

After saying that, Mu Yunsheng took Tianlong away without waiting for Long Liyou to speak again. At this time, he must not say that he would give the dug Miaoyangling bamboo shoots to Long Liyou, Xiong Gang and others.

Otherwise it would seem that Long Liyou, Xiong Gang and the others were taking advantage of their power to bully Miao Yangling like bamboo shoots.

But Long Liyou and Xiong Gang are from Longsai, one of the seven top forces in Qianyuanzhou. Xiong Gang is a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage. Will they rob a spiritual object found by a casual cultivator in the early Qi Refining stage?
Mu Yunsheng didn't dare to bet whether saying this would embarrass Xiong Gang, but it was always good to say it in a positive way, just like he had saluted Xiong Gang three steps ahead before.

"Little brother..." Long Liyou shouted anxiously, revealing her long, snow-white legs under her short skirt, and she started to chase after Mu Yunsheng.

"Alright, Long'er, let your Soul Seeker Cicada eat. Don't you still need to go to Xiankeju to see the disciple recruitment and affinity test meeting held by Senior Zhu?"

"Uncle also needs to go to the market to check this year's accounts." Xiong Gang said, stopping Long Liyou.

"But this Miao Yangling bamboo shoot was discovered by that little brother first, and he has already dug out one." Long Liyou said anxiously.

"Miao Yang Ling Bamboo Shoots are his, but I gave him his life," Xiong Gang said quietly, then looked at Long Liyou and continued, "Long'er, you must remember that in the world of cultivators, spiritual objects are never first come, first served. Whoever is stronger gets them. You are well protected in the Great Wall."

"Right now, in the poisonous fog of Wanze Ridge, the conflict between the cultivators of Chuanhe Province and our seven families is becoming more and more intense. With your temper, you will suffer great losses if you enter the poisonous fog of Wanze Ridge in the future."

"This casual cultivator has a good character. Although he is only at the third level of Bai Refining Qi, he is already quite good among the casual cultivators in Qianyuan Province for having such a high level of cultivation at his age."

"If I get some opportunities in the future, I will hopefully be able to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining."

"If you, Long'er, can learn a little bit of the character and spirituality of this casual cultivator, then your uncle will feel much more at ease."

.....................

"hu~hu~"

A strong wind blew past him quickly. Mu Yunsheng circulated his true energy throughout his body, put Tianlong back into his sleeve, and quickly fled away from Miao Mountain.

I don’t know how long I ran until Miao Mountain was no longer visible, and the attic of Qihefang City appeared in the green hills not far away.

Mu Yunsheng finally stopped, panting slightly as he looked towards the direction of Miaoshan, which had already disappeared into the distance. A smile appeared on his handsome face. "Fortunately, they didn't catch up. My bet was right."

"Haha~" Mu Yunsheng laughed heartily, feeling extremely relieved. Although he had not had any conflict with Xiong Gang and the others before, and it was even possible that Xiong Gang had no intention of attacking him at all,
Otherwise he would not have been able to escape.

However, Mu Yunsheng felt that it was the most dangerous moment for him to die, even more dangerous than when he faced the old man withered snake.

This had nothing to do with whether Xiong Gang had any ill intentions towards him. It was purely because his own cultivation was weak and he was afraid of facing a powerful cultivator who could easily take his life at any time. He was unable to resist and had no way to escape.

Just like the ministers who accompany the king in the secular world.

"After all, this is not the civilized world of my previous life where human life is precious." Mu Yunsheng said in his heart, and a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes as he looked at Miao Shan in the distance.

The slight sense of complacency and pride that had arisen in his heart in the past few days because of the mystery of the Haotian Mirror, the smooth sailing of obtaining the spiritual plant master's inheritance, and the Qingyang spiritual energy, completely disappeared.

No matter how mysterious the Hao Tiao Mirror is, he is only a small cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining. Facing cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining or even the fifth level of Qi Refining, he still has no power to resist and may be killed at any time.

"Future potential does not represent current strength."

Mu Yunsheng turned around and walked towards the Qihefang Market in the green mountains not far ahead. Although he was angry at Xiong Gang and Long Liyou for showing up and taking away the Miaoyangling bamboo shoots he had found.

But he was very clear that this was the norm in the world of cultivators. Yesterday, he and Mu Kehua and others questioned Ke Laogui and others in Miao Mountain about the whereabouts of these low-level cultivators, independent cultivators, and the Miao Mountain Bandits.

Isn't this also a way of using power to suppress others?

Compared to the anger towards Xiong Gang and Long Liyou, Mu Yunsheng cared more about improving his own strength. All this was because his own cultivation was weak.

Otherwise, if he also had the cultivation level of the late Qi Refining Stage, or even the Foundation Establishment Stage, how could Xiong Ba pose a threat to him and give up the Miao Yang Ling bamboo shoots he found.

"I still have to be cautious and use the mysterious information that the Haotian Mirror evolves every day to transform it into my own strength. I will improve my cultivation step by step and reach the highest level in this world of cultivators."
