Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Jiang Yu first went to the east to find Song Yu.

He was counting the referral fee that Pang Datou had sent.

Therefore, Song Yu was extremely enthusiastic when he saw the two of them.

Jiang Yu briefly explained Zhao Lei's situation.

Song Yu nodded and said:

"I've heard about that stall you mentioned before. The enforcement team even investigated it before, but they didn't have any evidence and couldn't do anything about it."

The most important thing for a good cultivation market is rules.

Although law enforcement teams have extensive authority, they cannot arrest people arbitrarily.

Jiang Yu said he had already recognized the scammers' methods.

Song Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest:

"If you can really see through that scam, I'll contact the law enforcement team; I know someone there!"

He was so attentive only because the whistleblower would receive 20% of the stolen money as a reward.

Therefore, as soon as the scam was exposed, Song Yu jumped out before the law enforcement team could.

The big-headed cultivator realized what was happening and urged his subordinates:

"What are you all standing there for? Come at me!"

The hunters had reservations, but they were used to obeying orders and instinctively channeled their spiritual power.

"How dare they resist! They're overestimating themselves!"

The pale-faced man snorted coldly, channeled his spiritual power, and formed hand seals, sending five fist-sized fireballs hurtling towards the faces of his underlings.

As for their leader, the moment his underlings took their first step, he grabbed the spirit stones and fled into the crowd.

"Liar, don't even think about leaving!" Zhao Lei's tall figure blocked his way.

Zhao Lei's gaze never left the big-headed cultivator, even though all his spirit stones had been swindled away.

That's exactly what I'm worried about.

However, Zhao Lei was only at the second level of Qi Refining, while the big-headed cultivator was at the fourth level of Qi Refining. The mid-stage cultivator was more than twice as strong as the early-stage cultivator.

A Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator might be able to defeat a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator through certain methods, but they could never defeat a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator.

The big-headed cultivator's eyes flashed with disdain. He used his spiritual power to condense a gust of wind, about to strike Zhao Lei.

Fortunately, Song Yu spoke up in time to the fat cultivator who was gnawing on a large pork knuckle:

"Brother Zhang Tao, don't let the main culprit get away; all the stolen money is in his possession."

"Don't worry, he can't escape!"

Zhang Tao remained calm as he swallowed the food in his mouth.

Whoosh!

With a series of rapid steps, he flew away at lightning speed.

Jiang Yu was surprised; he hadn't expected Zhang Tao, who looked fat, to be so agile when he moved.

In the blink of an eye, they caught up with their target.

"Here, have it all, stop chasing me!"

The big-headed cultivator gritted his teeth, threw out all the spirit stones in his arms, and chose to cut off his tail to survive.

"Oops!"

Zhang Tao's expression changed drastically. He grabbed the storage bag and only breathed a sigh of relief after all the spirit stones were inside.

Seeing this, Song Yu said irritably:

"Why didn't you grab him first and then pick him up? Spirit stones aren't going to grow legs!"

Zhang Tao looked embarrassed.

"Sorry, I'm just used to being bossed around by the boss!"

He quickly took two bites, finished the meat on the pork knuckle, aimed at the big-headed cultivator, and threw it forcefully.

"go!"

Instantly, the small pig bone whipped up a gust of wind, carrying immense force, and slammed straight into the back of the big-headed cultivator.

boom!

Struck by the blow, the big-headed cultivator coughed up a large amount of blood and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing that the target had been easily captured, Song Yu smiled and said:

"Brother Zhang Tao, you've gotten bigger and bigger, and your cultivation level has also increased."

Zhang Tao, with a sullen face, said unhappily:

"That previous sentence was redundant!"

"Also, I'm not fat, I'm more like well-off."

Although the big-headed cultivator was knocked to the ground, he had not yet lost consciousness.

He struggled to take out a dark-colored pellet and activated it with his spiritual power.

Instantly, the space within a five-meter radius was shrouded in pitch-black black mist, so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

After everyone used their spiritual energy to dispel the black energy, the figure of the big-headed cultivator had already disappeared from the spot.

"Damn it, I can't believe he got away!" Zhang Tao said angrily, then complained to Song Yu.

"It's all your fault for talking to me; you have to compensate me with ten pork knuckles!"

Song Yu was speechless. Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about food.

He said, "Aren't you going to chase after them?"

"What are we chasing?" Zhang Tao's chubby face bulged out, and he said nonchalantly:

"He was hit by my pig bone dart, and he won't recover for at least a year and a half, which is about the same amount of time he would spend in prison."

"Besides, he's cheated so many people out of their spirit stones, how can he possibly survive in Qingming Market? Someone will naturally come after him."

By putting him in jail, I was actually protecting him.

Upon hearing this, Song Yu found it reasonable and clapped his hands in praise:

"You're really cunning!"

The other hunters had already been captured by the pale-faced man and Zhao Lei.

They were not only burned beyond recognition, but also bruised and swollen.

Zhang Tao pulled another large pork knuckle from his pocket, took a bite, and said with pity:

"You're just underlings, why are you risking your lives? Attacking a law enforcement team, you won't be getting out of jail anytime soon."

During the arrest, Zhao Lei repeatedly punched several people in the face:

"Give me back the feelings you deceived me!"

Seeing that quite a few cultivators had gathered around, Zhang Tao waved and said:

"Just hit him a couple of times to vent your anger, it'll have a bad influence if you keep hitting him like this."

With a sweep of his arm, a long rope flew out from his sleeve and tied several of his underlings up tightly.

Zhang Tao kicked a few people, shook his head and sighed:

"It will take time to escort them to the county government office."

"Sigh, to think that I, a dignified officer of the Demon Suppression Division, am spending all my time chasing after swindlers."

"However, it's safe, and the spirit stone harvest is quite substantial."

Upon hearing the words "Demon Suppression Division," Jiang Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

The country he lived in was called the "Da Li Dynasty". Due to the rampant demons and ghosts in recent years, the "Demon Suppression Division" was established to suppress evil spirits.

At the same time, it helped the county government manage the growing power of the sects and maintain the administration of the imperial court.

Although the Immortal Cultivation Market was built by the six major sects, law enforcement must be carried out by the Demon Suppression Division.

The six major sects are considered behemoths in Guobei County, but compared to the Great Li Dynasty, they are nothing.

After capturing all the prisoners, the most important moment, the division of spoils, will follow.

The group found a secluded spot where no one was around.

Zhao Lei, anxious, asked the two officers from the Demon Suppression Division:

"My lords, I was just cheated out of fifty spirit stones by that swindler. I wonder if I can get them back?"

Zhang Tao glanced at Song Yu, and after receiving a knowing look from him, he said:

"Originally, as stolen goods, they should have been confiscated."

"But since you reported it, we can return the spirit stones you were cheated out of."

Zhang Tao counted out fifty low-grade spirit stones from the embezzled funds.

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhao Lei clasped his hands in thanks.

Immediately, Zhang Tao pointed out two hundred low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Song Yu:

"Brother Song, this is your reward for being the main whistleblower."

"Brother, you obtained such a large sum of spirit stones without lifting a finger. It's truly enviable."

Song Yu smiled slightly, a mysterious smile appearing on his face:

"Don't worry, I know the rules!"

He divided the two hundred spirit stones into four portions, first handing two portions to the two officers of the Demon Suppression Division, and politely said:

"You two have worked hard. This is just a small token; please allow me to leave it for you to have some tea."
