The Path to Immortality

After completing the daily half-hour body training, Fang Ping stood up and stretched his muscles, then walked down from the second floor of Luoyun Dan Pavilion.

He called over a clerk and asked casually, "Has anything major happened in the market in recent days?"

Seeing the shopkeeper appear from upstairs, the clerk said respectfully, "The robber cultivator Baihe Taoist has appeared again and attacked the law enforcement team of the market again. Apart from that, there is nothing else."

"The Taoist Baihe has appeared again?"

Hearing this, Fang Ping frowned slightly.

This robber cultivator who fled south from the Qingxu Sect's territory to Luoyue Valley sold a Xuanyuan fruit in his own store a few years ago. Not only did he pretend to be seriously injured, but he also deliberately showed off his wealth to lure people into the trap.

Although Fang Ping was not fooled, more than one manager and shopkeeper of other shops in the market were attracted and secretly chased him out, but were killed in return.

After the news spread, Taoist Baihe disappeared for several months to avoid the joint pursuit of the three major forces in Luoyuefang.

Just when everyone on the island thought that Taoist Baihe had fled to other places, he appeared again, repeatedly killed monks, and committed several major crimes.

In desperation, the Ji family, Shi family, and Zhao family could only send more law enforcement teams to maintain the order of the market and offer a reward for the pursuit of Taoist Baihe.

But something incredible happened. Taoist Baihe not only repeatedly escaped the search and pursuit of the market law enforcement team, but even after being chased closely, he was so bold that he ambushed the law enforcement team and killed several law enforcement team monks in one fell swoop.

Even a late Qi training monk from the Ji family died in battle.

In the past few years, the business of Luoyuefang has been much worse than before because of the harassment of this robber cultivator.

The Zhao family specializes in the business of refining instruments. The quality of the magic instruments is well-known and there is no worry about selling them. The impact is relatively small.

The Shi family's spiritual rice business, and the Ji family's various profits and income from controlling the market, have fallen into decline.

The three major families have also offered high rewards, but no one has been able to find the whereabouts and hiding place of Taoist Baihe.

"He has been able to escape the pursuit many times, and no one has found the hiding place of this robber cultivator so far... There is a lot of water in this!"

Fang Ping did not forget that among the three major foundation-building forces on Luoyue Island, the Ji family and the Shi family were very hostile to the Zhao family that came more than 20 years ago, and the relationship has deteriorated in recent years.

He thought about it and asked, "Did the law enforcement team that was attacked this time suffer casualties?"

The guy replied, "It is said that one cultivator died and several people were injured. The deceased seems to be a disciple of the Ji family, and it is unclear how many people were injured."

The Ji family again?

Hearing this, Fang Ping sneered in his heart.

Once or twice, it can be said to be a coincidence.

In the past two years, the law enforcement team sent by Luoyuefang to hunt down Taoist Baihe has almost always suffered casualties from the Ji family and the Shi family.

Although several Zhao family cultivators were injured, no one was killed!

"If Taoist Baihe has contacted the Zhao family and received the latter's protection and intelligence support, then these strange things seem to be explained."

Thinking of this, Fang Ping's eyes were a little deep.

However, the grievances of the three major families have nothing to do with him, an inner disciple of Luoyang Sect.

He only has about one year left to stay here.

As long as he survives this period, he can return to the inner sect of Luoyang Sect and continue to be his inner disciple.

After that, even if Luoyuefang is razed to the ground, he will not even look at it.

Thinking of this, he added a batch of pills he had refined in his spare time recently to the counter under a fictitious identity, and then returned to the second floor in a leisurely manner.

Today's Taiwei Yangshen Chapter has not been practiced yet, he has to continue to nourish and temper his soul.

………

It was getting dark.

After a busy and fulfilling day, Fang Ping got up and prepared to make some spiritual rice, but he found it troublesome.

He immediately decided to go downstairs and go to the restaurant across the street to order some spiritual food to reward himself.

But just as he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly felt that the restriction of Luoyun Dan Pavilion was triggered.

Fang Ping was stunned, turned around and went to the window to check, and found that it was a communication talisman that triggered the restriction.

"Who in Luoyuefang would send me a communication talisman?"

This is not in the sect!

Fang Ping was a little surprised, and took a look at the style and mark of the communication talisman, and his face changed slightly.

Ji family?

Fang Ping pondered for a few seconds, activated the communication talisman, and browsed the information inside.

Then, he showed a half-smile and sighed: "It seems that this spiritual food tonight can't be eaten!"

Using the Condensation Technique, he suppressed the breath of the ninth level of Qi training back to the eighth level of Qi training. Fang Ping went down to the first floor and waited patiently.

A moment later, a cultivator with an ordinary appearance who was not conspicuous in the crowd walked in from outside.

Seeing Fang Ping waiting for him in the lobby on the first floor, he nodded slightly to Fang Ping and said in a clear voice: "This is the owner of Luoyun Dan Pavilion, right? I have a big deal to discuss in detail. Do you have a quiet room?"

Fang Ping showed no strange expression, just like a normal business, he extended his hand and said: "In this case, please follow me."

He asked the waiter to serve tea, and after he left, Fang Ping activated the soundproof ban to isolate the room from the outside.

At this time, the ordinary-looking monk removed the disguise of the magic weapon.

I saw his body swaying like water waves, and after just a few breaths, he had turned into an old man in green clothes with white hair and beard and bright eyes.

If it was when he first came to Luoyuefang five years ago, Fang Ping would definitely not have known this person.

But today, he is quite familiar with the image of this green-clothed old man.

The other party is one of the two ninth-level Qi training elders of the Ji family, a foundation-building family. Ji Changqing has a great reputation in the entire Luoyuefang.

It is said that this Ji family elder is very talented. As long as he practices a good technique or joins the five major immortal sects, he has a great chance to achieve foundation building.

Unfortunately, the concentration of spiritual energy and the poor cultivation resources in Luoyue Valley, coupled with the burden of the Ji family, made him stop at the ninth level of Qi training. Now he is over seventy years old and it is no longer possible for him to build a foundation.

The previous communication talisman was also sent by this old man.

"Hello, Senior Ji."

After all, the other party was an elder, so Fang Ping did not deliberately put on the airs of a disciple of the Five Great Immortal Sects. He greeted him and then asked curiously, "It's so late, why did Elder Ji suddenly come to visit? Is there something important?"

Ji Changqing stroked his gray beard and smiled, "Is it possible that you can't come to visit Fellow Daoist Fang if there is nothing important? Fellow Daoist Fang is a disciple of the upper sect and has been training here for several years. I have always wanted to visit you, and today I happen to be free..."

Seeing that he was still talking about politeness, Fang Ping shook his head, "If Elder Ji came here just to say these, then please go back."

Seeing Fang Ping say this, Ji Changqing knew that the other party probably had some guesses.

With an awkward smile, he said, "Well, I think the disciples of the upper sect have guessed some of my intentions. In this case, I won't hide it. I wonder if you know about the robbery cultivator White Crane Taoist who has repeatedly committed major crimes near the market in recent years?"
