Keeping a low profile in the world of cultivating immortals

Wu Tao held the iron sword and stood by the door. He would not open the door unless it was clear who it was outside.

The next second, he heard Zhang Li's trembling voice: "Fellow Daoist Li, it's me, Zhang Li."

Wu Tao did not open the door immediately, thoughts flashed through his mind, and then asked: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, what was the first thing I said to you?"

"Hello, I moved in yesterday? Fellow Daoist Li, can you open the door..." Zhang Li's voice was very scared.

Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, it was Zhang Li.

Bang, the door opened, and Zhang Li stood at the door, still wearing underwear, her whole body trembling slightly, a look of fear on her face, she looked at Wu Tao, her lips trembled and said: "Li Mo, I'm scared!"

"Come in first." Wu Tao glanced at the night behind Zhang Li. None of the residents in Xinde Lane came out, and they all closed the door bolts tightly.

Pulling Zhang Li in, Wu Tao closed the door tightly.

The light was like a bean, shining on the faces of the two people. It could be clearly seen that neither of them could suppress the fear in their hearts, which was clearly reflected on their faces.

‘Low strength is the original sin. ’ Wu Tao sighed in his heart, and then tried his best to calm down his emotions and comfort Zhang Li: “Fellow Daoist Zhang, emotions are contagious. If you are afraid, I will be even more afraid. My cultivation level is lower than that of you.”

Zhang Li calmed down a little when he said this, but the effect was very little. She slowly shook her head and said: "I have never fought with spells, and I don't know how to fight with spells..."

Wu Tao pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision: "You stay with me tonight, one person will watch the night and the other will sleep. I will watch the first half of the night, you will sleep first, and you will pick me up for the second half of the night."

That's all.

I hope it's not a big problem, and I hope the patrol team responsible for protecting the safety of casual cultivators can solve it quickly.

Zhang Li didn't say anything. She glanced at Wu Tao's calm expression, climbed onto Wu Tao's bed, closed her eyes, and forced herself to fall asleep so that she could be energetic for the rest of the night. At times like this, she knew she couldn't hold back.

Wu Tao sat on a chair, watching the candlelight dance, highly concentrated, always paying attention to what was going on outside.

Fortunately, the night passed quickly.

There were no surprises.

Wu Tao was woken up by Zhang Li in a daze. He pressed his swollen forehead and got up. He saw Zhang Li's haggard face. The second half of the night was Zhang Li's night. The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask: "Is everything okay in the second half of the night?" Bar?"

Zhang Li shook her head.

Wu Tao stood up, took the iron sword from Zhang Li's hand, and said to her: "You stay in the room first, don't go out, I will go outside to inquire about the situation."

"Well, be careful."

When Wu Tao went out, some residents of Xinde Lane were already out on the street. The acquaintances gathered together in twos and threes, seemingly discussing the screams last night. He pretended to be passing by to see if he could hear any useful news.

"Confirmed, there was an evil cause in Xin'an Lane, the alley next door, and one person died."

"Xie Sui, have you caught him?"

"Not yet. Let's be more careful at night. It's best for everyone to get together and watch and help each other..."

Upon hearing the news, Wu Tao felt terrible and evil.

In order to ensure that the situation was true, he made several more inquiries and finally confirmed that something evil had happened.

He hurriedly ran home and said to Zhang Li: "I have found out clearly that Xie Sui caused trouble in Xin'an Lane next door and one person died. I have to go out for something urgent. You can either go home or rest here with me, Xie Sui Although I seldom move during the day, I still have to be careful not to sleep too deeply.”

"Fellow Daoist Li, wait a minute...are you going to buy the Evil-Breaking Talisman?" Zhang Li grabbed Wu Tao's arm.

Wu Tao nodded and said: "I have to move faster. When evil spirits come out, I am not afraid of those stores taking advantage of the situation, but I am afraid that they will be sold out. People are already dead. We can't rely entirely on the patrol team for our safety..."

Zhang Li stopped talking and quickly ran back to her house. Then she ran back, holding a bag of spiritual stones, handed it over, and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, here are all my savings. Ninety pieces of low-grade spiritual stones. You can take all of them." I bought the Evil-Breaking Talisman, let’s get through this level first.”

Zhang Li's behavior once again made Wu Taogao take a look. He stopped talking nonsense, took the bag of spiritual stones, said "wait for me when I come back", then went out and ran all the way to Fangshi.

He ran straight into the Yuanyou Talisman Pavilion, panting and said to the shop seller: "Seller, I want to buy the Evil-Breaking Talisman."

"The Evil-Breaking Talisman is sold out."

‘Fuck, I should have thought of it a long time ago. If evil spirits come together, the sales of evil-breaking charms will definitely skyrocket. I still took a step slower and continued to look at other stores. ’ Wu Tao had a quick thought in his mind and went straight to another shop selling talismans.

I visited three stores in a row and all were sold out.

Just when Wu Tao felt desperate, in the fourth shop, there were still evil-breaking charms for sale.

"Don't be crowded, don't be crowded. If you get crowded, get out." The store tried its best to control the order and let the casual cultivators line up to buy. However, these casual cultivators all lived near Xin'an Lane. Their lives were at stake, and they were all in a hurry. .

But under the threat of the store owner, I didn’t dare to crowd in.

Wu Tao was queuing up and watching the casual cultivators in front of him spending all their money to buy the Evil-Breaking Talismans. He could only pray in his heart that they would not sell out and leave one for him.

Finally it was Wu Tao's turn. He hurriedly asked: "How many evil-breaking talismans are there?"

"Thirty pieces of low-grade spiritual stone."

"Give me four."

Sure enough, the price had increased. Wu Tao gritted his teeth and took out the spirit stone to pay the bill. He took the Evil-Breaking Talisman and left the queue. He heard the seller's shout again: "I told you not to squeeze, don't squeeze. From now on, the Evil-Breaking Talisman is 50 yuan for low-quality goods." It’s a spiritual stone.”

He no longer paid attention to the rising price of the Evil-Breaking Talisman, and placed the Evil-Breaking Talisman close to his body. Adding the one he bought before, there were five of them, and his sense of crisis weakened slightly.

"Fortunately, I bought one before."

"Go back to before liberation in an instant. There is nothing you can do. If you lose the spiritual stones, you can earn them again. If you lose your life, you will have nothing. When this crisis passes, you need to prepare more evil-destroying talismans. The best way is to buy a Plant a restraint that can ward off evil spirits, and refine your own magic weapon against evil spirits."

"Zhang Daoyou is also awake in this world and knows that life is more important."

Wu Tao clenched his iron sword and walked towards home. On the way, he encountered a casual cultivator selling evil-breaking talismans. The price had increased to sixty-five pieces, and someone beside him shouted that he was unwilling to give up.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, isn't the price of your evil-breaking talisman too outrageous?"

"If you want to buy, buy, but if you don't, go away. Why, you still want to rob?"

Although the casual cultivator surnamed Chen is not impressive in appearance, he seems to have someone to rely on him, and no one really dares to mess around.

Wu Tao turned into a transparent person, passed by quietly, quickly returned home, and knocked gently on his door. Soon, Zhang Li opened the door and was already dressed.

Seeing that Wu Tao came back safely, Zhang Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wu Tao went in sideways, closed the door, took out five Evil-Breaking Talisman from his arms, handed over three of them, and said: "The Evil-Breaking Talisman has gone up to thirty yuan for a low-grade spiritual stone. When I left, the price had risen to sixty." Five and one. Three of yours.”

Zhang Li took it, put it away carefully, and said, "It's good if you can buy it."

Wu Tao looked into her eyes and saw that she was even more tired, so he asked, "Didn't you rest just now?"

Zhang Li shook her head: "I am alone and don't dare to sleep. I want to wait for you to come back before I sleep."

When Wu Tao heard this, he understood that although Zhang Li had performed well in this matter, from keeping vigil to taking out the spiritual stones to buy the evil-destroying talisman, and never thought of relying solely on Wu Tao, in the final analysis she was still a woman, both physically and mentally. Psychologically, I can't compare to men.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao said: "Then don't sleep now and refine this robe. This is a first-level and second-level blast robe. It can double your speed. It can be used to escape in critical moments."

After that, Wu Tao took out two robes, gave one to Zhang Li, and refined one for himself.

Zhang Li didn't hesitate. She knew in her heart that time was her life at this moment. She should save her life first and then say thank you. She quickly took it and sat on the bed to refine it.
