Gou Zai Shen seeks immortality

It was getting late, Jia Ren said goodbye to Yang Bingzhi and rushed to Dahuangfang City.

On the way, as expected, they encountered an ambush by Jie Xiu. In their doubtful eyes, Jia Ren walked away.

Although this was not the first time I experienced the speed of the master-level wind control technique, I was still amazed.

"We will continue to master the wind control skills. Once the skill limit is exceeded, its power will be even more terrifying."

After returning to his residence smoothly, Jia Ren closed the door.

He immediately took out seven alien black mosquitoes from the spirit beast bag, full of expectations.

"I wonder if I can be saved?"

Seven alien black mosquitoes were burned by the Fire Bird Technique until their wings were almost gone and they were dying.

Two of the heterogeneous black mosquitoes failed to hold on and lost their breath of life.

Jia Ren put five living alien black mosquitoes into the spiritual fluid prepared for spiritual insects, and every one of them could be saved.

After finishing everything, I started my daily retreat practice.

I have enough elixirs on hand, Lingya Dan is very effective, and my practice is progressing quickly.

The progress of Gui Ling Gong is not as good as that of Gui Yuan Gong, so it is not too slow.

With the dual assistance of elixirs and spiritual rice, my daily cultivation progressed well.

Cultivation progress and Turtle Spirit Skill proficiency can grow steadily.

"If you want to stimulate interest in cultivation, progress is essential."

Jia Ren relies on the proficiency panel. Compared with ordinary monks, the speed and efficiency of cultivation are intuitively visible, making it easier to inspire enthusiasm for cultivation and immerse oneself in cultivation.

Ordinary monks have been practicing for many years without making any progress. No wonder they have no intention of practicing and are greedy for pleasure.

The original owner is the best example. His cultivation is stagnant and he is addicted to dual cultivation and cannot extricate himself.

The training time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"The tunnel is finally connected!"

After the incident of Jie Xiu's visit, Jia Ren controlled the hornworms to work day and night, and finally opened the tunnel.

The tunnel is just big enough for Jia Ren to pass through and connects to the stone house a hundred meters away.

When in danger, there is a way out.

Jia Ren dug out two secret rooms under the two stone houses.

Every night, traces are erased and dust is sprinkled on all parts of the house to create the appearance of being uninhabited for a long time.

He hid in a secret room underground and practiced peacefully.

Relying on this skill, Jia Ren never encountered Jie Xiu coming to his door again.

On the other hand, other stone house owners have more or less encountered incidents of robbery or malicious contamination, and the number of familiar faces among casual cultivators is decreasing day by day.

"Did Fellow Daoist Jia leave?"

"A few days ago, the residence was not so old..."

"We also want to recruit him into the security team."

A female seafood merchant cultivator and a casual cultivator from the fifth level of Qi Refining came to Jia Ren's residence. They looked at the dilapidated stone house with a strange look on their faces.

The stone house is full of holes, the ground is covered with dust, and cobwebs hang from the corners.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like it has been uninhabited for a long time.

If the female cultivator had not been here a few days ago, I would seriously doubt that Jia Ren had left.

Just when the two were impatient and ready to leave, the door opened.

"Some fellow Taoists are in trouble?"

Jia Ren took two steps back, keeping a safe distance.

Especially the eyes he looked at the female cultivator showed vigilance.

Last night, the robbery cultivator came to the door, the female cultivator ran away, and the short, fat casual cultivator who was with her died tragically.

Not only did she survive, she found her next home so quickly.

The rank is not low.

"What are the two fellow Taoists doing?"

Jia Ren heard them mention the security team and asked knowingly.

He disturbed Qingxiu and didn't get angry. He was already in a good temper.

"Fellow Taoist can kill robbers and is very powerful. The escort team invites fellow Taoist to join us to protect the safety of residents at night."

"Zhu has invited many colleagues to join."

"Not interested in!"

Sacrificing yourself for others?

Keeping others safe in the middle of the night?

Isn't this risking one's own life?

"It's not in vain, the escort team is willing to provide the spirit stone." Zhu Yuanzheng added for fear that Jia Ren would misunderstand.

Jia Ren remained unmoved.

How much is the Night Watch Spirit Stone?

What should I do if I encounter a rogue cultivator who is possessed by an evil spirit?

Are you helping the night watchman with amulets to ward off evil spirits?

Forty spiritual stones for one evil-proofing talisman are no small sum for low-level casual cultivators.

Can the escort afford it?

"You don't have to join Daoist Jia if you don't want to. You can pay a security fee of three spiritual stones every month, and the security team will protect your safety at night."

The invitation failed, so I asked for spiritual stones instead?

Three spiritual stones?

How many low-level casual cultivators are willing to take out so many spiritual stones?

"I will not join the security team, and I will not need your protection."

"If there is nothing else, fellow Taoist, you can leave."

Jia Ren had no interest in joining the security team that was destined to become a mess, and he had no interest in using the spiritual stone to throw away the spirit, so he issued an eviction order without ceremony.

"Why would Fellow Daoist Jia reject people thousands of miles away?"

"There is another message to remind you."

"The Five Elements Sect and the Tianjian Sect are at odds with each other and are suspected of going to war. They don't have the energy to care about the life and death of the outer city."

"Do you still expect the Five Elements Sect to take action?"

"I'll give you three days to think about it. I hope fellow Taoist can make a wise choice."

Zhu Yuanzheng smiled, turned around and left.

Jia Ren didn't care about the incident and practiced in seclusion with peace of mind.

Zhu Yuanzheng was very capable, and he attracted a group of casual cultivators and promised them a better future.

In the early stage, you pay out of your own pocket and pay high night watch fees to find night guards for casual cultivators in the middle stage of Qi refining, and then use the security fees paid by casual cultivators to make up for the gap in the night watch fees, thus completing the cycle.

The first night was uneventful.

The casual cultivators were delighted, and more people paid the security fee.

Three spiritual stones are indeed a lot, but compared to safety... it's still acceptable.

When the casual cultivators thought that a peaceful night would come, Zhu Yuanzheng ran away with the spirit stone...

The newly formed security team fell apart.

The most disadvantaged ones are the casual cultivators who have paid the spiritual stones. Three spiritual stones is not a small amount, and their not-so-rich lives have become increasingly difficult.

"Run away?"

Jia Ren remained in seclusion and practiced asceticism until he heard the news on the third day when he was cooking outside.

The fee for keeping vigil was too low, and no monk was willing to take the risk of keeping vigil.

You must use enough spirit stones to mobilize your enthusiasm.

Each casual cultivator can receive three spiritual stones as security fees, and the maximum number of households is a hundred.

Three hundred spiritual stones seem to be a lot, and it is not an easy task to protect the stability of hundreds of families. The number of night watchmen cannot be too small, and the strength cannot be too weak.

Ten monks in the middle stage of Qi refining stayed vigil, and each person received two spiritual stones a night. This alone cost twenty spiritual stones a day.

This does not include a series of issues such as combat supplies, evil amulets to dispel evil spirits, and pensions after the death of the security team.

Three hundred spiritual stones are a drop in the bucket in comparison.

Collect more spirit stones?

Just three spiritual stones made many casual cultivators dissatisfied and they continued to increase the price. Instead of increasing, the security fees they received would decrease.

If there are not enough spirit stones to maintain the security team, it will inevitably end in failure.

Zhu Yuanzheng realized that the situation was not right, so it was wise to run away decisively.

The only ones injured are the casual cultivators seeking safety...

"Robbing cultivators, spreading evil pollution, fraud, and skyrocketing prices... not only can the lower-level casual cultivators not earn spiritual stones, but they also have to suffer a series of painful consequences. It's too difficult."

"All you can do now is protect yourself."

After eating, Jia Ren took care of the traces, returned to the underground secret room, and looked at the alien black mosquito soaked in the spiritual fluid.
