The Path to Immortality

After a selection, Fang Ping selected two mortals with clean backgrounds and no connection with the three major families on the island to become the new assistants in the store.

The monk who served as the manager was a disciple of a poor small family who had settled in the market for more than a hundred years.

Under sufficient survival pressure, the newcomers did not dare to be careless at all.

Except for a few days after coming in, they made a few small mistakes because they were not familiar with the business. After just six or seven days, they performed well and did things quite reliably, which made Fang Ping very satisfied.

"The situation here at Luoyuefang is on the right track. Then, we can do something next!"

Fang Ping smiled slightly, took out the list of alchemy apprentices who signed a supply contract with Luoyun Dan Pavilion, and added a fabricated identity of a casual cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training on it.

This false identity is of course not necessary.

But it is safer and more secretive to do the whole show with this procedure.

Therefore, when a new batch of supplies arrived, Fang Ping put his previously accumulated elixirs in the name of this casual cultivator and put them on the counter of the Dan Pavilion.

As for how much fake water there was in them, only he knew.

Anyway, just one month later, the news that some fine elixirs could be bought from time to time in Luoyun Dan Pavilion gradually spread among the casual cultivators in Luoyuefang.

………

Deep in Luoyue Valley.

Several cultivators flew through the lush forest with flying instruments and stopped in front of a deep cave.

The leader was a casual cultivator with the strength of the sixth level of Qi training, named Wei Wen.

A few days ago, he passed by this place and accidentally found a valuable elixir in the cave.

He was overjoyed and was about to pick it, but he was attacked by a mid-stage Qi training monster guarding the elixir.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and had good luck, so he escaped by chance.

This time he brought people here to hunt the monster and pick elixir.

Perhaps sensing the arrival of the cultivator's breath, just as Wei Wen and others were discussing how to lure the poisonous scorpion out, the monster had already appeared from the cave on its own initiative.

"What a beast!"

Seeing the shape of the poisonous scorpion, the invited monks all took a breath of cold air.

This poisonous scorpion was three or four feet long, and its body was covered with dark green poison spots.

Before getting close, several people smelled a faint, poisonous fishy wind. And the breath it exuded reached the extreme of the sixth level of Qi training.

If it were later, the poisonous scorpion might be promoted to a late-stage Qi training monster, becoming an existence they couldn't afford to offend!

"Fellow Daoists, follow the previous plan and start!"

After a brief confrontation, Wei Wen knew that it was meaningless to continue the stalemate, so he took the lead in launching an attack.

I saw a green sword light whistling down and fiercely slashing the poisonous scorpion.

This attack completely angered the poisonous scorpion.

The original fear of human monks was dominated by hatred, and they immediately attacked the monks in the air.

A series of dark green venom, under the influence of the magic power of the monster, attacked several people in the air.

Wei Wen and others did not dare to be careless, either actively avoided or condensed magic to stop the venom in advance.

Then, the human monks fought fiercely with the poisonous scorpion.

In terms of realm, the poisonous scorpion is slightly better. In addition, the monsters in the Qi training period generally have physical advantages and outstanding defense. In a short period of time, the poisonous scorpion fought evenly with several monks.

But over time, the numerical advantage of human monks gradually came into play.

Several people covered each other and took turns to attack. In addition, they could fly in the air, which gave them a great initiative.

As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, the poisonous scorpion's body continued to gain wounds.

Seeing victory in sight, Wei Wen and others couldn't help but cheer up and stepped up their attacks.

But at this moment, perhaps the poisonous scorpion sensed that a disaster was about to happen, and suddenly gathered all its magic power, raised its long scorpion tail, and fired a series of scorpion tail needles containing extremely poisonous poison at the monks in the air!

The speed of the scorpion tail needle was extremely fast, even the monks with the best eyesight could only see a flash of black light.

"Not good!"

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

The faces of several monks suddenly changed, and some quickly dodged, or used all their strength to activate their protective magic tools.

However, as the desperate trick of the poisonous scorpion, the scorpion tail needle is not only extremely fast, but also has an unimaginable penetrating power, comparable to the flying needle magic tools of human monks.

The monk who was closest to him was caught off guard and was directly pierced through the protective magic tool by the scorpion tail needle, which pierced into his heart. He was almost killed on the spot and fell from the air.

The other three reacted a little faster. Although they failed to completely avoid it, they at least avoided the vital parts.

But before Wei Wen and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, the next moment, the poison contained in the scorpion tail needle spread rapidly, covering their wounds with a large dark blue mass, and it was still spreading rapidly.

"Damn it!"

The three people's faces changed, and while using their magic power to suppress the poison in their bodies, they took out the detoxification pills prepared in advance from the storage bag and stuffed them into their mouths.

But what shocked them was that the scorpion tail needle was more toxic than they could imagine, and the detoxification pills prepared in advance could only slightly suppress the poison, and there was no way to really remove the poison.

"It can't be done!"

He Qiu and Ge Fei, who were traveling with them, looked at each other and had a tacit understanding in their hearts.

The two turned around and ran away before the poison completely spread!

Although everyone was invited to help and had a good relationship on weekdays, they were all casual cultivators after all. When it really came to a life-and-death moment, their own lives would definitely be the most important.

Seeing the two escape first, Wei Wen was somewhat unwilling, but he had to admit that the situation was irreversible.

Just when he wanted to escape, Wei Wen suddenly remembered something and took out another porcelain bottle from his storage bag.

It contained the top-grade basic elixir [Qingxin Pill] that he bought from a shop called Luoyun Pill Pavilion in Luoyuefang before leaving.

This pill is expensive and is said to be able to remove most of the toxins in the Qi training period, and its effect is far better than ordinary low-grade detoxification pills.

Wei Wen was reluctant to give it up, but he was cautious by nature, and Luoyun Pill Pavilion had a good reputation recently, so he spent a lot of spirit stones to buy a spirit pill as a backup.

At this moment, he quickly took out the Qingxin Pill and swallowed it with a little trepidation and doubt.

As soon as the Qingxin Pill was swallowed, it quickly turned into a cool medicinal power that flowed throughout the body.

Under the amazing medicinal effect, the toxins of the scorpion tail needle were almost like hot soup pouring on snow, and were cleared away in an instant.

This effect was beyond imagination.

Wei Wen was shocked, but also overjoyed.

He quickly activated his magic weapon and attacked the seriously injured scorpion.

The scorpion was a little confused to understand that the human in front of him seemed to be unaffected even though he was poisoned.

Facing the attack of the human monk, it once again used its magic power to carry venom and sprayed it towards Wei Wen.

For a while, the air near Wei Wen was filled with the smell of toxicity.

But the residual medicinal power of the Qingxin Pill made Wei Wen immune to these toxicities. He intensified his attack for several rounds and completely killed the scorpion, which was only one step away from the late stage of Qi training!
