I studied abroad in modern times

Zheng Fa was walking on the mountain path of the Eighth Peak.

It was early morning now, and there were many disciples of Uncle Pang on the Eighth Peak. When they saw Zheng Fa, the disciples with lower cultivation would first bow to him, and even the disciples with higher cultivation would smile at him.

Zheng Fa knew that this was because of the influence of that batch of yellow sprout rice.

At the beginning, Zheng Fa and Qianhe Sect agreed that the yellow sprout rice was 300 stones a month.

But these 300 stones were actually sold out in ten days, and later they even had to restrict outsiders from buying.

Now, Jiushan Sect has to order at least 600 stones of yellow sprout rice from Qianhe Sect a month, which is double what was said before.

The biggest beneficiaries of this transaction are these disciples of Jiushan Sect.

Zheng Fa walked along the way, bowing to these fellow disciples all the way.

The journey that used to take less than an incense stick took half an hour.

When they arrived at Uncle Pang’s hall, the sun was already high.

Uncle Pang was in the hall, and he didn't seem surprised to see him. He just nodded at him: "Nephew Zheng, do you want to see me for something?"

Zheng Fa bowed to Uncle Pang and looked around the hall.

There were still many disciples who stayed here, looking at him curiously.

To be fair, among the three Yuanying of Jiushan Sect, Uncle Pang was actually the one who valued his disciples the most.

Not to mention his own master, Master Yuan.

He hadn't met Master Huang, the master of Sister Zhang, yet, so he could see how he lived.

Only Uncle Pang would pull his disciples over every now and then to teach them.

Master Pang was one of the few people who always planned for his own disciples.

Thinking of this, he was a little envious of these brothers.

"Uncle, I came here to ask for something." Zheng Fa said: "Now that Sister Zhang has taken away many brothers, the General Affairs Hall and the Market are short of manpower. I would like to ask you to send some brothers to help me manage the market."

"..."

Uncle Pang slowly sat up and looked at Zheng Fa.

His expression could be summed up in one sentence - Junior Brother Zhang had just left, and you were ready to raise the flag of rebellion?

Zheng Fa certainly understood his thoughts.

General Affairs Pavilion and the market have always been the territory of Senior Sister Zhang, and disciples of Uncle Pang's lineage are not allowed to interfere.

"I mentioned this to Senior Sister Zhang before she left." Zheng Fa explained: "Senior Sister Zhang also agreed."

In fact, Senior Sister Zhang took so many senior brothers away this time to clear some obstacles for him.

Seeing Uncle Pang's expression of disbelief, Zheng Fa had to explain further:

"In the past few years in the market, some disciples relied on Senior Sister Zhang to rob, and some disciples colluded with those profiteers."

"Although Senior Sister Zhang has always been tolerant of this matter, to be honest, this kind of thing has been repeatedly banned."

"Now the market is more and more prosperous, but the people who reach out are more and more bold, and the number is more than usual."

Zheng Fa knew that this kind of thing would continue in the future, and even worse -

He was confident that the market would earn more and more spiritual stones and spiritual materials.

On the other hand, as the spiritual power declines, these things become more and more valuable.

Even Senior Sister Zhang has to admit that no matter how powerful she is, she can't control people's greed.

Just change some rules to suppress it.

"So you want to ask my disciples to go?"

"All the senior brothers are good at the Void Spirit Eye." Zheng Fa said with a smile: "I want to ask the senior brothers to guard the market. The first is to prevent people from making trouble, and the second is to supervise the disciples in the market."

The direct disciples of Uncle Pang's lineage have all practiced the "Void Spirit Eye" - of course, Zhou Qianyuan, the unlucky guy, has not.

In Zheng Fa's mind, these are all good materials for security guards!

It comes with surveillance!

Hearing him say this, the disciples in the hall looked at each other, and they didn't seem to be very tempted - this job sounded boring and offensive, especially since the market was Senior Sister Zhang's territory.

"Of course, I won't let you work for nothing!" Zheng Fa held up three fingers and said, "I will give you three extra spirit stones on behalf of Senior Sister Zhang for one month."

At this point, the faces of several senior brothers became excited-

It's good to be bored!

Who wouldn't want to get money for nothing?

It's even better to offend people!

The ones I'm offending are you guys who eat alone!

With spirit stones, everything is easy!

Uncle Pang looked at Zheng Fa, and then at his excited disciples.

I always feel that Zheng Fa can lead his disciples away with a wave of his arm.

Three spirit stones a month is not really high-because Uncle Pang's disciples are at least foundation-building, and even if a foundation-building disciple in the market doesn't bother to make money, it's not a big problem to get this income.

But Uncle Pang's lineage is really poor!

They are in charge of the Discipline Institute and get a fixed salary.

Unlike Senior Sister Zhang's lineage, which has the market under their control, there is a lot of oil and water.

In terms of drawing talismans, Uncle Pang's disciples are no match for Sister Zhang's lineage - most of the spiritual talisman markets above the Xuan-grade talismans in the market are controlled by Sister Zhang's lineage.

It is precisely because of this that Uncle Pang teaches his disciples so attentively, but the strength of the two lines is actually not distinguished - after all, Uncle Pang's lineage does have less resources in comparison.

No wonder they are dissatisfied with Sister Zhang.

Sister Zhang's move, on the one hand, is of course to rectify the market.

On the other hand, it is also a concession.

"I actually underestimated the breadth of Junior Brother Zhang." After Uncle Pang was silent for a long time, he nodded gently: "In that case, who of you is willing to go, follow Junior Brother Zheng later."

After Master Pang finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Fa and suddenly said, "Have you reached the sixth level of Qi training?"

"yes!"

Zheng Fa gently lowered his head in response.

He was not slow in his cultivation, and in addition to being at Senior Sister Zhang's house these past few days, he had plenty of spiritual energy.

Breakthroughs come naturally.

"Others break through more slowly, but you break through faster and faster..." Master Pang was silent for a moment: "The speed of your breakthrough has actually caught up with Master Nephew Zhang's back then."

Zheng Fa was stunned. He didn't know how fast Senior Sister Zhang could break through - but what he knew was that Senior Sister Zhang was the fastest in building the foundation of the Hundred Immortals Alliance...

But if you think about it carefully, it’s natural——

The "Tao Foundation Building Method" helped him far more than Senior Sister Zhang.

If you include modern times, he has been practicing for a long time.

Now he lives in the place where the Jiushan Sect has the most spiritual power.

"You have entered this realm, and I, as an elder, have to reward you." Uncle Pang flashed his hand, and a jade tube appeared in his hand: "I still have some secret cultivation techniques in my "Dongxu Spiritual Eye", you can take it Go back and discuss the details with Master Zhang."

Zheng Fa was stunned and looked at Master Pang - Are you really hiding something?

Of course, he also knew that this was Master Pang's reciprocation.

…

"You mean? Someone is staring at me?"

Zheng Fa didn't expect that as soon as he recruited a few Fangshi security guards, he would get big news - and the news was not about Fangshi, but about himself.

"Yes." Seeing Zheng Fa's confusion, Sun Daoyu explained: "Our lineage has always been responsible for the safety of the Jiushan Sect, and there are also some disciples patrolling the sect - we asked those disciples to pay more attention to the people near our junior brother. Condition."

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but thanked him: "Thank you, senior brother, for your trouble."

Sun Daoyu waved his hand and said: "Junior brother, you allow us to earn spiritual stones. Unlike Master, we don't have any secrets for you. We can only do small things."

Zheng Fa smiled bitterly: "This is no small matter."

Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Zhang's precautionary measures actually saved him from trouble.

Sun Daoyu took him to the inn on the corner of the street.

There are already several senior brothers here, communicating with the innkeeper.

"Zheng Zhenren!" The shopkeeper is not a disciple of the Jiushan Sect. He seems to be a relative of a certain senior brother who opened an inn in the sect to make a living.

"Did you, the shopkeeper, find out?"

"Of course! As soon as these two people entered our inn, they stayed in the room and didn't know what they were doing." The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I know that room, and the window is facing Zheng Zhenren's house. Small courtyard.”

"These real people came to ask me if there was anyone suspicious near your home, and I remembered these two people."

When the shopkeeper said this, his face was a bit bitter: "I was actually a little suspicious, but I never thought they really had evil intentions. I think the young man among these two people quite likes our Jiu Shan Sect. "

"like?"

"Yes, after that person watched "Saving Xiao Xiu Pang Qian", when he met me, he liked to talk about how good our Jiushan Sect was, and his tone was very envious..."

Zheng Fa and Sun Daoyu looked at each other.

"Is this...really true?" Sun Daoyu said slowly.

"...more trustworthy than me." The shopkeeper's face was also very confused.

Even Zheng Fa didn't know what to say. After the play was released, most people in the Jiushan Sect just watched it for fun. The brainwashing function was not strong - but they didn't expect it to move a bad guy.

It can only be said that distance creates beauty.

"Where are the people?"

"We knocked on the door just to ask, but who would have thought that those two people would run away as soon as they saw us..." A senior brother said: "Several senior brothers went after us, but the movement techniques used by these two people seemed to be based on rumors. The shadow of the devil in the sky."

Sun Daoyu was startled, and his expression became more solemn: "Tianmo Jueying is the secret of the Great Freedom Demon Sect. Junior Brother Zheng, I have to report this to Master, do you think?"

"I'm also going to see the leader."

…

"The Shadow of the Demon?" On the ninth peak, the leader slowly frowned when he heard this technique, showing a rare look of worry: "The Great Freedom Demon Cult?"

He thought for a while and suddenly looked at Zheng Fa: "Did you hook up with another saint?"

"..."

What kind of PTSD does the disciple have?

"...No, it won't." The leader himself shook his head.

Zheng Fa was inexplicably relieved - this old man still trusted his character!

"Master Zhang will not give you this opportunity."

"..."

Senior Sister Yuan on the side nodded and stared at Zheng Fa warily.

"Master, what kind of existence is this Great Freedom Demon Sect?"

"...The Demon Sect." The leader suddenly sighed and said, "You also know that the Great Freedom Demon Sect was founded by the monks who survived the Great Tribulation."

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Yuan nodded.

"It is rumored that some of those monks are still alive."

"ah?"

This is a bit too turtley.

At least a million years have passed since the last tribulation.

How can someone survive to this day?

"Including the Great Freedom Demon Sect, the Demon Sect we know has a total of thirteen giant chambers - that is to say, there are thirteen ancient monks who have passed down the bloodline, and they are collectively called the Demon Sect."

"These people are called the Thirteen Demon Ancestors. Some of them may still be alive - the most likely one is the founder of the Great Freedom Demon Sect."

"...Master, I just have a question, why did our immortal sect survive?"

According to the laws of the Xuanwei world, the older you get, the stronger you become.

If there are really people who can live for such a long time, then what else are they playing with?

"From the classics, the last calamity was indeed dominated by the demon sect, but the Tianhe Venerable took up the sword alone, destroyed the thirteen great families, and fought with some giants hidden in history before unifying Xuanwei."

"...So this calamity is dominated by the immortal sect, and we immortal sects have been committed to suppressing the demon sect."

The head of the sect sighed and said, "Now that the traces of the Great Freedom Demon Sect have appeared, it is really not good news."

"Master...Why are these demon ancestors so obsessed with continuing their bloodline?" Zheng Fa couldn't help asking.

This was the point that he couldn't understand the most.

When practicing Taoism for immortality, reproduction is not so important.

Especially for this kind of existence that has lived for a million years - this blood relationship is quite distant.

"The magic sect's skills all come from the Thirteen Demon Ancestors, and only their blood can be practiced. I have never seen these skills, but a great man once said that for the Demon Ancestors, these people are not only descendants, but also furnaces and cauldrons, and even in the end, they may all be blood food."

"There are also rumors that some Demon Ancestors have been relying on taking over their own best blood to survive for so long."

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment, and understood: "This is to deal with the decline of spiritual power... to cultivate a spiritual plant that only you can use?"

"...Your words are good, but I am a little scared when I hear them."

The head of the sect was silent for a long time before speaking.

...

The uncle and nephew who were monitoring Zheng Fa ran all the way and fled for their lives.

The Sky Demon Absolute Shadow is an excellent way to escape into the air, but unfortunately, someone among the pursuers called the Jindan disciples, and the two not only did not escape, but watched the people chasing them getting closer and closer.

"Uncle? Where should we escape to?"

"The young master once said that if we are exposed, we should go to a secret place to meet him, and he will rescue us." The middle-aged man said as he ran: "That place is not far from here, and we will arrive soon."

This is the corner of the river bank, and there is a small house at the corner, which is probably used by fishermen.

"It's there!"

The middle-aged man pointed to the small house and said.

But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped his nephew and gave him a blood-colored pill.

"Uncle?" The young man said in a daze.

"If something happens after entering the house, you just swallow this heart-burning pill."

After saying that, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the house.

A mysterious light flashed in the house, and the middle-aged man's loud reminder came: "Take the pill quickly!"

When the young man heard it, he immediately swallowed the heart-burning pill in his hand.

The next moment, the blood in his body began to coagulate, and his heart slowly stopped beating--

He suddenly realized that there was no young master in the house at all, and it was probably just a reminder array.

As soon as they entered, the young master knew that the two were exposed.

At this time, the young master was asking the spirit of the Holy Ancestor to kill his uncle and nephew.

In the Great Freedom Demon Sect, people with pure blood and high cultivation can kill them without even taking action in this way!

He felt his body gradually stiffen, and only the heat of the Burning Blood Pill remained to maintain a ball of heart fire.

Lying at the door of the hut, he saw that his uncle was already lying in the house, without a single movement...

His chest was burning hot, not just because of the Burning Heart Pill, but also because of the anger burning.

"Found it!"

Behind him, there was a shout from the pursuers.

He looked up, tried his best to raise his neck, and whispered to the person who came: "Save...save me."

Several disciples of the Jiushan Sect were stunned. Seeing that the other party was lying on the ground and gradually fainted, and then looked at the Jiushan Sect uniform on his body, they couldn't help but wonder:

"...Did he see the wrong person?"

...

When he woke up again, the young man found himself lying on a couch.

Next to the bed, there was a man holding a ceramic bottle, with a thin tube extending from the mouth of the bottle, piercing his arm.

"...Are you awake?"

Seeing him wake up, Zheng Fa smiled, waved his hand, and the tube formed by the blood-sucking talisman disappeared into the void, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the bottle, the awakened young man was silent and just asked: "Where is this?"

"Jiushan Sect."

Zheng Fa clearly saw the expression of broken faith on the man's face in an instant...

"Junior Brother Zheng! The blood is used up again!" Li Nuo pushed the door in, his face full of the words "seeking funds". He looked at the porcelain bottle full of blood, sniffed it with the tip of his nose, and said in surprise: "Is this the new blood you bought, Junior Brother?"

"Hey? Why is this man fainted?"
