Living in the world of cultivation

In the early morning, the morning sun rises, and a soft and weak ray of sunshine emerges, illuminating the entire world.

Su Fan got up early and flew towards the distant city wall with his magic weapon.

Before he could fly under the city wall, he was stopped by several monks who were patrolling the outside.

At this time, Su Fan's image was very miserable. Not only was his hair unkempt, but the robe of the Fire Cloud Dao Palace was also in tatters. At first glance, he looked like someone who had gone through all kinds of hardships to escape from the front line.

During this period, almost every day, such embarrassed monks fled back to the rear.

The few monks on patrol did not make it difficult for Su Fan, and even pointed out the entrance to the city wall for him.

After Su Fan thanked several monks, he followed the direction they pointed to and came to the bottom of the city wall. He raised his head and glanced at the city wall, which was hundreds of feet high.

The material chosen for the city wall is not only hard in texture, but also has better spiritual energy conductivity.

The surface of the Wuyao Stone, which is several meters long, is engraved with dense Dharma patterns, and a faint light is constantly flashing on it.

Even on the outside of the city wall, there were large defensive formations set up, and huge spiritual energy shields tightly wrapped the outside of the city wall.

There is only a small city gate entrance here, which is only a few feet wide. Compared with the tall city wall, it seems small.

Su Fan passed through several defensive shields, showed his identity jade talisman at the city gate, and then successfully entered the interior of the city wall.

At this moment, countless monks are gathering inside the city wall.

There was a huge crowd here, and there was a lot of noise and noise everywhere.

There are endless mountains nearby, one after another, and there are temporary houses and pavilions everywhere.

There are large and small flying boats constantly whizzing by in the sky, and there are also streaks of escaping light that are constantly passing through, the light is flashing, and the stream of light reflects the color.

Almost all the monks in the eastern part of the Central Plains and the East China Sea have been mobilized, and they are all guarding these dozen lines of defense.

These dozen huge city walls can be said to be the last line of defense in this world of cultivation.

Su Fan came to a nearby square and saw his name on the Demon Suppression Monument again. After several months of ups and downs, he once again topped the list of demon slayers.

Su Fan found a residence at the Huoyundao Palace nearby. He walked into the pavilion where the Foreign Affairs Hall was located and came to the counter inside.

I saw several disciples on duty in the Qi Refining Period of Huoyun Dao Palace sitting behind the counter.

There were many monks lining up in long lines in front of the counter. Su Fan randomly found a line and stood at the back.

Su Fan looked around and found that the disciples working here were all new disciples who joined the Huoyun Dao Palace like him, and were peripheral disciples in the sect.

No wonder the few Qi-training monks behind the counter had a very cold attitude and seemed to ignore him.

Finally, Su Fan was reached in line and he walked to the counter.

"I just came down from the front line..."

After listening to Su Fan's words, the disciple on duty behind the counter didn't even raise his head, and didn't take Su Fan, a foundation-building monk, seriously at all.

"Identity Talisman..."

Su Fan handed over his jade talisman. The disciple on duty drew a stroke on the miniature magic circle on the counter, and Su Fan's message appeared on the light screen.

After seeing Su Fan's identity information, the qi training disciple was stunned and stood up subconsciously.

"Uncle Master, your previous station has been moved to the rear, and the disciples who have withdrawn from the defense line are repairing at Tianhefang..."

The other party's attitude was very respectful, which also surprised other disciples who came here to do business.

Not only them, but also several disciples on duty nearby looked at Su Fan with doubts.

After finding out the specific location of his station, Su Fan took back his identity talisman, turned around and left the station of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

"Uncle, please walk slowly..."

The disciple on duty also said something respectful.

The few disciples on duty nearby had nothing else to do at the moment and hurriedly came over.

Even though this young master is just a qi training disciple, he is also a descendant of a certain family in the sect.

Not to mention these new cannon fodder peripheral disciples, even the ordinary foundation-building master uncles in the sect have never seen him be so respectful.

"Xiao Fu, who was that person just now..."

"Uncle, the foundation-building master inside the gate, has never seen you so respectful..."

"Haha...Xiao Fu, do you need to do this? It's not like you..."

Xiao Fu patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was quite nervous when he faced Su Fan just now.

"Do you know who that person is? He is currently at the top of the demon-slaying list, Su Fan..."

After hearing what Xiao Fu said, several people were shocked and stunned.

No wonder the arrogant Xiao Fu had such an attitude just now. The person who occupied the top spot in the Demon Slaying Ranking should indeed receive such respect.

"What...he is Su Fan, can't you tell..."

"Who said that? From the moment he entered the house, I felt that he was different..."

"I said that I always felt a murderous aura just now. He must have brought it into the house..."

Several disciples on duty gathered together excitedly and chatted in low voices.

The peripheral disciples waiting in front of the counter immediately stopped working. They had been waiting for a long time.

Xiao Fu immediately stared after hearing this and said, "Why are you so anxious? Just wait..."

Although his words angered the peripheral disciples who were waiting to do something, they just yelled a few words and didn't dare to do anything.

Although these peripheral disciples clearly felt the discrimination against them by the disciples within the sect from the day they entered, no one cared about it.

At this time, countless monks from small sects and small households were recruited and died on the battlefield.

Although these people are also cannon fodder, they are also cannon fodder of the super sect. They have to be almost dead before they can be filled in.

It doesn't matter if you suffer a little grievance, but what if you are discriminated against? At least you can live longer than others.

The dozens of defense lines in the rear are very complete. Not only the defense power has been increased countless times, but all kinds of facilities are also very complete.

Each station is equipped with a short-range teleportation array to facilitate monks traveling to and from various fronts.

Not far from Tianhefang, just near the last line of defense, Su Fan took the defensive formation and walked around several times before finally arriving at the location of the Fire Cloud Dao Palace.

This place can no longer be called a city, it has been transformed into a huge base.

The heavily guarded base is dotted with various tool-making workshops, alchemy rooms and other auxiliary logistics units. A large number of monks are busy here day and night.

Su Fan walked into Tianhefang and heard someone calling him.

"Senior Brother Su Fan..."

He turned his head and saw Tang Fei trotting up to him from behind.

"Senior brother, you are back, you are not injured, are you..."

Su Fan was stunned for a moment. He clearly felt that the other party's attitude towards him became more and more respectful.

"Fortunately, they are all traumatic injuries. I'll go to the resident Foreign Affairs Hall to order a mousse first. Let's talk in detail..."

Tang Fei grabbed him and said with a smile: "Uncle Qingyu has already told me that as long as you come back, you should go and see him first..."

Su Fan followed Tang Fei to the station headquarters.

When he arrived at the monastery on the second floor, he saw Master Qingyu sitting cross-legged in the room, holding an ancient book and reading with gusto.

Su Fan quickly walked up and saluted the old man respectfully.

"Meet Uncle Qingyu..."

The old man saw him, stood up quickly, walked up to him and grabbed his arm.

"Your boy is finally back with all his beard and tail. Come and sit..."

Master Qingyu pushed Su Fan to sit down in front of him and poured him a cup of spiritual tea himself.

"I've been very anxious these past few days..."

Su Fan took the tea cup handed by the old man with both hands and took a sip.

"Uncle Master's injury is nothing serious..."

The old man waved his hand with a proud face and said with a laugh: "It's almost done. Now we just need to adjust it slowly. It won't be long before the problem will be gone."

Having said this, he looked at Su Fan with emotion.

"You brat, I really made it happen for you. It must have taken a lot of effort..."

Su Fan smiled and said, "It's a long story..."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about this topic, the old man didn't continue to ask, took out a Nai ring from his arms and handed it over.

"Return the property to its original owner. Go and deliver it yourself. Don't bother me, an old guy..."

Su Fan took the ring, rubbed it with his hands, and then put it away.

"Uncle Master, how many disciples have been withdrawn from the front line this time..."

Master Qingyu sighed and said: "The teams I led were unlucky. They happened to be near the explosion point, and dozens of them came back alive. More than 90% of the disciples were trapped."

Su Fan smiled bitterly, it was really miserable.

"The Taoist Palace has recruited more than 10,000 disciples from the monks who withdrew. Not only have they made up for the number of people under me, there are also many more disciples than before."

There is no one else who can do this in Huoyundao Palace.

To annex the disciples of other sects so blatantly on the battlefield is really a good deal.

"By the way, some real people from the Dao Palace want to see you. You have just come back to rest for a few days. When your injury is healed, I will make arrangements for you..."

Su Fan knew in his heart that having once again topped the list of demon slayers, he should have really attracted the attention of the higher-ups of Huoyun Dao Palace this time.

"Don't worry, no one knows about this matter except me, and I guess no one from the Taoist Palace will ask..."

After listening to Master Qingyu's words, Su Fan nodded gratefully.

"Thank you, uncle, for taking care of me..."

The old man waved his hand and said: "If it weren't for you this time, I would have been defeated by my old bones on the front line. I won't say anything grateful. We will have a long time in the future..."

Having said this, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Currently, the war has reached a stalemate. Taking advantage of this period of time, I contacted many Jindan Zhenren who have newly joined the sect. After Da Luotian is defeated, if we people can survive, we will be able to fight in the future. Taoist palaces should help each other."

Su Fan nodded, but he didn't expect that the old man was thinking far ahead.

It is true that as Master Qingyu said, when the war is over, it is hard to say how the Dao Palace will place them.

"Uncle Master, what do you think..."

The old man sighed and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us people to integrate into the Taoist Palace. Instead of suffering from both sides of the door, it is better to go out and form another sect as the subordinate sect of the Huoyun Taoist Palace."

Su Fan's eyes lit up. Don't tell me, this old man really has some ideas.

By then, Master Qingyu will be the founder of the sect, and he will definitely be his loyal supporter, and his status in the sect will definitely be high in the future.

Master Qingyu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of spiritual tea for Su Fan.

"Of course, it's too early to think about this now, but we have to plan ahead and at least gather everyone together first. I guess the Taoist Palace will not only be happy to see it happen, but will also give strong support."

Su Fan smiled. The people in Huoyun Dao Palace were very smart and would definitely support him.

If these people survive, they will have crawled out of the dead, so Huoyun Dao Palace certainly doesn't mind raising a capable subordinate sect.

Anyway, they have plenty of money, so they can just spend spirit stones to hire a group of thugs.

Not only can they protect the sect, but they can also do some shameful things for them.

"Master, you are really far-sighted..."

Qingyu Zhenren laughed and pointed at Su Fan.

"You kid, you never tell the truth, but when the time comes, you can't hide away..."

"That can't be done, I will definitely follow the footsteps of Master, and under your leadership, I will conquer a large territory for the sect..."

This is really not a big deal. Under the banner of Huoyun Dao Palace, annexing several second-level spirit veins is still a big deal.

Su Fan chatted with Qingyu Zhenren for a while, then said goodbye and left.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Tang Fei waiting for him.

"Brother, I have arranged your room for you..."

Su Fan was stunned for a moment. When did this guy become so good at dealing with things?

"Thank you, brother. Thank you for your help..."

After hearing Su Fan's words, Tang Fei was as happy as if he had eaten honey.

Tang Fei led Su Fan to a cave near the market. What he didn't expect was that it was actually a small courtyard with a private entrance.

The environment near the cave is not only quiet, but also the concentration of spiritual energy is the best in the market.

Of course, it is definitely not comparable to the cave where Su Fan lived before, but in this special period, such a small courtyard with a quiet environment and a private entrance is very precious.

The small courtyard is built on the mountain, and the area is not large, only a few acres. Several thatched houses are hidden in the dense forest, and the environment is very good.

"Brother, do you think you need anything? I will arrange it for you..."

Su Fan smiled and said, "No, this place is really good, thank you, brother..."

Speaking of this, Su Fan suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, how many people in Tianhefang know my identity besides you..."

Tang Fei shook his head and said, "Brother, you just came here today, how could anyone know..."

After hearing Tang Fei's words, Su Fan bowed his hand to him.

"Then I'll ask you one thing, don't reveal my identity..."

Tang Fei was stunned, he didn't understand a little.

It's such an honor to be the top of the Demon Slayer List, but why should I hide this identity? Is there something shameful?

If it were someone else, he would have made this matter known to the whole city, for fear that others would not know that he was the top of the Demon Slayer List.

But since Su Fan said so, Tang Fei couldn't say anything.

"Please rest assured, I won't reveal your identity to others..."

Su Fan nodded with satisfaction, he thought about it, and took out a few pieces of evil spirit bone fragments from the ring.

"Brother, do you recognize this thing..."

Tang Fei was stunned, took a few pieces of broken bones from Su Fan, and looked at them carefully in his hand.

"Evil spirit bone... This is the evil spirit bone of the Great Demon..."

Looking at Tang Fei, who was shocked, Su Fan patted his shoulder.

"I picked up some on the battlefield. Can you help me sell them in the sect? For every piece sold, you can keep 10% of the profit."

If you want someone to work hard, you have to give them some benefits. Anyway, he has a lot of this stuff, and there are still a lot of them in the ring.

After hearing Su Fan's words, Tang Fei's eyes widened.

"Brother, how many pieces do you have left? Sell them all to me..."

Su Fan was amused by him and took out a pile of evil spirit bone fragments from the ring.

Looking at the pile of evil spirit bone fragments on the table, Tang Fei's eyes were red. How could he eat so many evil spirit bone fragments by himself?

"Brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will definitely do it for you..."

Looking at Tang Fei's excited back, Su Fan smiled.

He didn't want to be the one to take the lead in this matter. Last time in the Foreign Affairs Hall of the garrison, those female cultivators almost ate him alive.

Once his identity is revealed, he will not be able to rest in peace in Huoyun Dao Palace in the future.

It's better to stay hidden quietly and let Tang Fei handle all the matters of selling evil spirit bones, and even let him handle the exchange of rewards for good deeds in the sect in the future.

Su Fan is manipulating behind the scenes and making a fortune in silence.
