Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

The aloof cultivator, dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe trimmed with black, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his hair bound by a white jade hairpin; his face was handsome, his eyebrows like swords, his eyes like cold stars, and he stood on a green jade magic artifact, his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, looking down at the three wolves of the Wang family.

He held a gourd in the palm of his right hand.

The gourd is a double-bellied gourd, smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. It is purplish-red all over, about the size of a vase, with thin but sturdy walls. Around its waist, there is a circle of dark red fire patterns that seem to be naturally formed.

"A first-tier treasure, the Fire-Swallowing Gourd, but you are not Li Chihuo."

The three wolves of the Wang family began to flee madly the moment they saw the fire-swallowing gourd.

Unfortunately, the aloof cultivator in mid-air wouldn't give the three any chance to escape.

The aloof cultivator pulled out the stopper of the pale gold gourd, and a ball of purplish-red flame immediately leaped out.

"go."

At his command, the purplish-red flames instantly transformed into a three-zhang-long fire dragon.

The fire dragon's head was ferocious, with countless flames leaping within its menacing scales. Its eyes held two clusters of purplish-red flames, exuding a fierce aura that could burn everything. In an instant, it swallowed the three of them whole.

All three were clearly cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining, with the leader even approaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, about to become a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

However, once they were tainted by the purplish-red flames, their cultivation seemed to vanish into thin air.

The fire dragon transformed into a purplish-red flame, hovering silently at the mouth of the fire-swallowing gourd.

The aloof cultivator stared indifferently at the three people below, who, like ordinary mortals, rolled around trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, their pitiful howls echoing throughout the entire western district.

"I...I know..."

"I know who you are."

"You are Li Muyang, the young patriarch of the Li family."

The leader's voice was shrill and heart-wrenching. After uttering the three words "Li Muyang," he fell silent.

......

early morning.

Lu Ping used the [Sweet Rain Mist] to irrigate all the spiritual plants in the spiritual soil.

And rhubarb.

Its whole body was huddled in its little nest, with its head inside and its rear end facing out. If it weren't for the occasional twitch, you would have thought that Big Yellow was really dead.

Lu Ping couldn't help but kick Da Huang. This silly dog ​​was frightened by the successive shocks from yesterday's Li family's bell, Li Chihuo's killing intent, and Li Muyang burning three cultivators.

Li Chihuo, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was still far from being one of them; however, Li Muyang...

Lu Ping was certain that this young patriarch of the Li family was still at the Qi Refining stage; otherwise, the reputation of the Yunzhu Li family would be more than just that of a clan with three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Although Li Muyang was not a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his reputation surpassed that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Because Li Muyang is an inner disciple of the Huayang Sect, possessing the three spiritual roots of metal, fire, and earth, and having had extraordinary encounters unknown to outsiders, his foundation is extremely solid, making his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage a certainty.

According to rumors in the market, the moment Li Muyang broke through to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator was the same moment he became a core disciple of the Huayang Sect. Within the Huayang Sect, elders had already shown great favor to him and extended offers of positions.

"Possessing the three spiritual roots of metal, fire, and earth, he is truly the envy of all."

He possessed all five elements, making him a mixed spiritual root. Lu Ping was extremely envious of spiritual root aptitude, a gift ordained by nature.

We'll just have to wait and see if we can extract a rare item from the white light cluster that can alter one's spiritual root aptitude.

The Li family has yet to offer an explanation for Li Muyang's ruthless actions yesterday.

However, the Yunzhu Li family is not foolish; they would not openly condone their young clan leader's actions that severely damage the family's reputation.

Although the Li family's reputation is not very good.

Lu Ping sensed that the Li family cultivators would likely visit each household today.

Sure enough, less than an hour later, there was a knock on the gate of Zhao Dashan's house.

After a short while, Lu Ping's courtyard gate was knocked on.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, I apologize for disturbing you."

They opened the door and led Li Ren and the other Li family cultivators into the courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, these two are cultivators from the Enforcement Hall of my Li family."

"Last night, my young patriarch killed three cultivators in the western district. However, following the clues, he discovered that some cultivators who cultivate special spiritual plants, such as the Crimson Blood Ginseng, actually use the flesh and blood of cultivators as materials for cultivating the Crimson Blood Ginseng. How is such behavior any different from that of evil cultivators?"

"Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of all cultivators in the market, we have to conduct a thorough inspection. Please forgive us, Fellow Daoist Lü."

Li Ren smiled and explained his purpose to Lü Ping.

"Even the Li family's Enforcement Hall has been alerted."

Lu Ping thought to himself, but outwardly replied, "It's nothing, Deacon Li, and the two fellow Daoists from the Enforcement Hall, please check with peace of mind."

"Thank you for your cooperation, fellow Daoist."

A cultivator from the Enforcement Hall stepped forward, holding square bronze compasses in his palm.

The cultivators from the Enforcement Hall channeled their spiritual energy into the compass, formed hand seals, and the bronze pointer began to spin rapidly, pausing slightly as it passed over the people in the courtyard and Big Yellow.

As the bronze pointer swept past him, Lü Ping felt his blood and qi surge up involuntarily, like a tide drawn by the bright moon. It was only calmed down by circulating the Turtle Breathing Technique.

Li Ren looked at the spellcaster, who shook his head. Only then did Li Ren breathe a sigh of relief.

If a spiritual plant master appears in his jurisdiction who uses the flesh and blood of cultivators as materials to cultivate Crimson Blood Ginseng, then he can forget about continuing to sit in his position as deacon.

"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist Lü." The law enforcement cultivator bowed and then said, "Fellow Daoist Lü, the quality of your cloud-patterned bamboo is above average among the spiritual plant masters I have inspected this time."

"I suppose Fellow Daoist Lü has done his best. A cultivator like Fellow Daoist Lü would most likely not do such a heinous thing."

"You flatter me," Lü Ping returned the greeting, speaking with slight humility.

After that, the three of them continued on to the next place.

The inspection was extremely simple, but Lü Ping didn't think it was just a formality.

After all, the bronze compass could actually guide his vital energy through flesh and blood from several meters away.

If it weren't for the perfected stage of the Turtle Breathing Technique suppressing it relentlessly, the spellcasting cultivator would probably have noticed something amiss.

As for the three siblings of the Bu family, they have long since been reincarnated as humans.

Even Big Yellow, the dog that chases the wind, couldn't smell the scent of the three people's flesh and blood, let alone the bronze compass.

"However, the Li family's control over Yunzhufang City is truly astonishing."

Since the Li family used swift and decisive methods to eliminate the cultivators from the West District, it means that they had probably already ascertained the identities of these three individuals.

I just don't know.

Is this paving the way for Li Muyang, or is it simply the Yunzhu Li family making an example of him?

"But what does all this have to do with me?"

"I'm just a plant cultivator who stays in the yard all day, peacefully farming."

Lu Ping shook his head, got up and closed the courtyard gate, only to see that Da Huang's body was trembling violently.

Master, I feel so bad.

It felt like ants were crawling all over my body.

Even the bones looked like they were about to break and then grow back.

Hearing Da Huang's thoughts, Lü Ping was slightly stunned, and his mind focused on Da Huang.

As the rhubarb trembled, it gradually moved forward in its growth.

"Master, am I sick?"

"You're not sick, you're about to break through."
