Longevity starts with learning

A small boat docked, and people were coming and going at the dock. Perhaps it was because of the characteristics of the mine here that people could come and go freely, and there were no checkpoints.

After Chu Mu concealed his body and face, he followed the crowd and walked unimpeded all the way into the market called Feihu Bay.

The market covers a large area. Perhaps because it was once a place where miners settled, there are no signs of strict planning and prohibition in the market, as in ordinary markets. Instead, there is a sense of chaos in shantytowns.

A main street that runs through the market is crooked and extends in the market. On both sides of the street, there are towering or dilapidated buildings and shops that almost form a sharp contrast.

Just from the plaques on the shops, it is not difficult to see that all the towering buildings are basically the garrisons of foreign forces in this market, and those that are a bit dilapidated and chaotic are mostly the places where the local monks of Feicui Lake are entrenched.

On both sides of the street, there are stalls everywhere. Behind the stalls, there are basically local cultivators from Emerald Lake. Under the unique customs, female cultivators wear animal skins and bird feathers as decorations, while male cultivators are mostly naked and decorated with animal fangs, which is almost the norm in this market.

And this unique custom has a long history.

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, the so-called country name, except for a very small number of forces based on the country system, the rest mostly exist in the form of families, alliances, and sects.

In the southwestern countries, it is a little special, basically existing in the form of tribes formed by family bloodlines.

And the so-called country name, such as the so-called Wanshan Country, Guyun Country, and even Da Chu, is basically just a title from ancient times.

After all, in ancient times, this vast southern region was once a unified existence. The regional division at that time evolved over time, and the power changes from generation to generation, and the name of the country was formed today.

And now the Emerald Lake area is ruled by a tribal alliance called the Emerald Tribe, which is the cover existence pushed to the surface by the Langya Wang family.

The relevant information flashed in his mind, and Chu Mu walked along the street, looking at this foreign land with interest.

After a circle, with what he saw and heard, combined with the intelligence information of the Changsheng Sect, this market has almost formed a complete context in Chu Mu's mind.

He stopped at the end of the street, looked around, and his eyes were fixed on an inconspicuous shop at the end of the street.

The shop is called Yuningxuan, which occupies a small area. It is just a two-story wooden pavilion. At a glance, the furnishings in the store are also visible.

It is not much different from most of the shops on this street, even the Buddhist stalls, all of which are made from the spiritual jadeite of Feicui Lake, selling some processed or unprocessed spiritual jadeite ores.

And this Yu Ningxuan is naturally the same.

The only special thing is that this shop is an intelligence contact point of the Changsheng Sect in Feihu Bay Market.

Among them, several disciples of the Tianji Pavilion of the Changsheng Sect are stationed to monitor all changes in Feihu Bay Market.

The news that the evil cultivator Yunying appeared here also came from the report of this contact point.

According to its report, the evil cultivator Yunying appeared at an auction in Feihu Bay a month ago, and disappeared again after the auction ended.

Among the several disciples of the Tianji Pavilion of the Changsheng Sect stationed here, the one with the highest cultivation level was only at the initial stage of foundation building. Not to mention whether they could spy on the whereabouts of a Jindan Zhenren, even if they could spy on it, with their cultivation level, they would definitely not dare to spy too much...

Chu Mu hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped into the Yuningxuan shop.

The shop was not big, and there was only a middle-aged man stationed behind the counter.

The man's cultivation level was only at the Qi training stage. When he saw Chu Mu walk in, he hurried to greet him.

"Senior, you..."

The man was interrupted by Chu Mu before he finished speaking.

"Let your shopkeeper come over."

"I understand. Senior, please take a seat and rest first. I will report to the shopkeeper..."

The man nodded repeatedly, led Chu Mu to the first hall on the second floor of the shop, and then hurried downstairs.

Soon, the old man in a long gown came hurriedly. Seeing Chu Mu sitting down, he sensed a little and his expression changed drastically. The old man stepped forward quickly and bowed:

"Inner sect disciple Yu Pan greets the True Master!"

"No need for formalities."

Chu Mu raised his right hand and helped Yu Pan up. When he put down the teacup, he asked casually:

"How many years have you been here?"

"Reporting to the Master, I have been ordered to hide here since the end of the Battle of Langya. It has been more than two hundred years..."

"More than two hundred years..."

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, but he was not too surprised.

Before coming here, he deliberately learned about the intelligence agencies at all levels of Changsheng Sect.

There is no doubt that the time span of the disciples of the intelligence agencies, as long as they are involved in lurking, must be extremely long.

Especially this kind of external lurking, a lurking mission often starts at least a hundred years.

Although the Changsheng Sect's rewards for this kind of lurking mission are extremely high, the annual spiritual stone salary alone is three times that of the disciples of the same level.

Moreover, there are always various special lurking rewards, and their descendants are also given preferential treatment. For example, Yu Pan, who is lurking in a place for a long time and needs to run a certain industry to disguise his identity, also has special resource supply, and the profits generated also belong to the lurker.

All the treatment is extremely generous.

But there is also no doubt that anyone who has extravagant hopes for immortal cultivation is obviously unlikely to be willing to perform such a task.

After all, regardless of whether it is dangerous or not, just this long time span is enough to dissuade many people.

Therefore, those who perform such latent missions either feel that there is no hope for immortality and want to plan for future generations, or they want to take advantage of the huge and generous rewards of latent missions to take advantage of them.

According to his understanding, the remaining dishes in front of him belong to the former.

He was injured in the chaos that year, and his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building was no longer possible. After getting married and having children, he applied for this latent mission and has been here ever since.

His descendants, under his support, have become disciples of the Changsheng Sect in just over two hundred years.

Although he is still unknown within the Changsheng Sect, it is obvious that if the journey goes smoothly and there is support from Yu Pan, there is hope for the golden elixir realm in the future.

"It was you who reported to the sect earlier that the Cloud Eagle appeared here..."

"I'm sorry for the true inheritance, but the Yunying thief has a high level of cultivation, while his disciples have a shallow level of cultivation, and they also shoulder the responsibility of lurking and monitoring, so they don't dare to peep too much..."

"It doesn't matter, this time, Chu is here just for this thief."

"This thief has been free and easy for so many years. It's time for him to be punished..."

Chu Mu waved his hand. He stood up and went to the window, looked out the window, and said, "Now let me investigate the traces of the Cloud Eagle. How confident are you?"

Yu Pan was silent for a while and said cautiously:

"Disciple cannot guarantee it."

Immediately, Yu Pan immediately added: "However, the disciple has been stationed here for more than two hundred years and has also met many local monks. If Yunying really settled in Emerald Lake, it should be impossible for there to be no traces. The disciple can Let’s get in touch and try to find out..."

"Okay, you can make arrangements."

Chu Mu nodded: "If anything happens, report it in time."

"Disciple, obey."
