Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Although cultivators pursue a simple and ascetic lifestyle, focusing only on their own cultivation, they still have a curious nature.

Recently, this cruel and uncompassionate flower thief has attracted a lot of attention.

With the body of Fellow Daoist Zhou, the butcher, hanging outside the hall of the Purple Cloud Sect, it is impossible not to notice.

Now, as soon as there is news, the independent cultivators on the street all perk up their ears, and some hot-tempered individuals start cursing,

"You're teasing us, what's the point of guessing? Do you believe that I'll tear you apart?"

"That's right, we're all so busy, who is this person? If you keep playing around like this, I'll really tear you apart!"

The person who shouted shrunk his neck, no longer daring to tease, cleared his throat, and looked mysteriously at the crowd,

"You might not believe it when I say it, but this person is neither from the Endless Pleasure Sect, nor from the Qian Jue Gate or the Xian Yin Pavilion. Instead..."

He pointed with his chin towards the location of the Purple Cloud Sect's main peak, Qian Jue Peak,

"This person's surname is Zhou, and he is a Foundation Building disciple of the hall!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, a tall cultivator suddenly kicked him and sent him flying. After crashing into several stalls, he spat out blood and immediately stopped moving.

"How dare you speak ill of the Purple Cloud Sect!"

The independent cultivators, who were just burning with curiosity, immediately closed their mouths and looked at him with fear in their eyes.

What a mess!

Just a few days ago, Zhou's body was still hanging on the wall, so how did they suddenly start discussing the hall of the sect?

Lin Xiu's reaction, however, was different.

As soon as he saw this person, his eyes narrowed, and he quietly pulled Li Yingxue's hand and retreated from the crowd.

It turned out to be that fake Gao Jun.

And at this moment, Gao Jun was wearing the white robe of the hall, and his cultivation was no longer visible under his divination technique.

"In less than half a year, he actually broke through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the Foundation Building stage!"

"No, what's hidden inside him is the Foundation Building stage, or rather, a second-rank demonic beast!"

Under the scanning of the three-star "Virtual Reality" of his green pupils,

In Gao Jun's dantian, there was a black beetle-like thing emitting a faint demonic aura.

And it was this demonic aura that allowed him to disguise himself as an ordinary person.

"The Twin Soul Gu!"

He had previously speculated that this person was being controlled by puppetry or zombie techniques, but now it seemed that he had become an external incarnation for a "Gu Master".

At this moment, Gao Jun stood on a stall and coldly swept his gaze over the silent independent cultivators.

"You bunch of idiots, yes, that person was indeed a disciple of the hall, but he is not a disciple of my Purple Cloud Sect. Now that the truth has been exposed, he has already been killed by the hall master and his body is hanging together with Zhou the butcher's, avenging his wife's murder!"

After speaking, he glanced at the body of the previous independent cultivator and sneered,

"Remember, anyone who dares to question the hall of the sect before knowing the truth, he is the example!"

After that, he jumped off the stall and left the street, with the crowd automatically making way for him.

It wasn't until Gao Jun had walked far away that the independent cultivators let out a long sigh of relief.

"So the flower thief was also hung on the high wall?"

"It seems to be true!"

"Let's go and see, I really want to see what this despicable person looks like!"

"Let's go together!"

With a rush of excitement, the gossip fire that had just been forcibly extinguished was ignited again, and more than half of the people on the street surged towards the center of the market where the hall of the sect was located.

Lin Xiu also went.

This kind of excitement was not dangerous, nor as cruel and disgusting as the iron cauldron explosion. He just wanted to see what this person, who had made him anxious for months, looked like.

But deep down, he almost vomited blood.

Damn it, I just sent away one of my wives!

Do you mean to say that despicable scoundrel is already dead?

Isn't that all for nothing?

But on second thought...

It's good that Qin Yawen left early. Her cultivation is the lowest. She killed one flower thief, but who can guarantee there won't be a second one?

Even if there isn't, what about the bandits?

They are considered the biggest threat in the city, with a large number of people and complex identities.

And they are all deeply hidden.

During the day, they may appear as friendly fellow cultivators, but they could turn into ruthless killers and treasure snatchers in an instant!

The body of the flower thief is hanging on the wall like a piece of torn cloth.

It's clear that he was killed by a blow to the left and right temples.

The way he is hanging is brutal, with a chain directly piercing through his temples and tied to a log, stretching his neck.

Zhou Butcher and the other two are hanging on the walls on both sides of the gate of the steward's hall. A steward from the Gold Core stage of the steward's hall is standing under the eaves of the city wall, coldly watching the independent cultivators below.

It seems to be proving that the steward's hall is not to be trifled with.

And that flower thief with the surname Zhou, Lin Xiu actually knows him.

When he traded talismans with Bai Yunshi, he had seen him a few times. He is at the mid-Foundation Building stage and is extremely skilled at tracking bandits.

No wonder he was so difficult to catch. It turns out he is a master at evading pursuit!

The onlookers are whispering and discussing in low voices from a distance. He secretly glanced at the Gold Core steward who had killed Zhou Butcher a few days ago, then turned and left with his wife.

"Interesting, he is actually the mastermind behind Gao Jun. The mother worm of the 'Twin Gu' is inside him!"

When he returned home and the two of them were suddenly gone, the whole courtyard felt empty.

Lin Xiu personally cooked a few dishes.

The cultivation world is ruthless, often changing people's original habits.

Many people would rather eat fasting pills to save time for cultivation, striving to earn a little more chance of survival in this dangerous mountain range.

But since Lin Xiu married Li Yingxue, he has been paying more and more attention to three meals a day.

Although he could easily cut vegetables and meat with spiritual energy, he still liked to use a kitchen knife, trying to retain a bit of human warmth.

After dinner, Li Yingxue inserted the Phoenix Cry Sword into the pond in the courtyard and activated the "Three Powers Killing Formation" within the sword. A dual-colored light screen of earth and gold flashed and disappeared, hidden under the outermost protective formation.

In addition to the huge "Mysterious Ice Shield" talisman hidden underground, it could easily withstand the attacks of a late-Foundation Building cultivator for more than a dozen breaths.

And this was enough time to react, either by escaping into the small building with another layer of formation set up by Ji Ning, or by throwing out the "Golden Gong Talisman" as a warning to scare away the enemy.

Lin Xiu was extremely grateful for this.

Unfortunately, he currently had nothing to repay him with.

In the first half of the night, he didn't refine talismans but sat cross-legged honestly, running the trash family cultivation technique for eighty-one great cycles.

Because of the existence of the high-grade water spiritual root, his progress was already comparable to that of a decent cultivation technique.

This made him even more eager to obtain a good cultivation technique.

Thinking about the cultivation techniques in the Treasure Pavilion's second-floor study, he looked at his storage bag.

He had given Qin Yawen five high-grade spirit stones and fifty medium-grade ones, and also stuffed fifty medium-grade spirit stones to that girl.

He couldn't give too much.

Having too much money wouldn't be helpful, but would instead attract the covetousness of others. It was not advisable. Having enough for a few years was sufficient.

"Husband~"

A seductive voice entered his ears.

Li Yingxue, with her clothes half-open and her long hair loose, leaned against the door frame, her eyes full of charm.

It seemed like Lin Xiu's bones had become lighter. He stood up and hugged her in his arms with a wicked smile.

"Today, there's no need to listen to the gossip from the wall. Wen'er is probably about to leave the Thousand Despair Mountains. Tonight, I'll listen to you and do whatever you want!"

Li Yingxue playfully punched his chest with her small fist, revealing a mischievous smile.

"Really? Don't blame me if your waist breaks..."
