The Path to Immortality

"Sorry, I was lucky enough to get a bottle. Now there are only a few left, so I won't sell them!"

Fang Ping was not short of this little spiritual stone and rejected He Yunchen without hesitation.

Not only because he has a bad sense of He Yunchen, but more importantly, all the monks in Qingyuan City are potential competitors for him to gain the opportunity to build a foundation.

Naturally, it is impossible for Fang Ping to be an enemy!

Seeing that his tone was firm, both He Yunchen and Mao Gang looked a bit regretful.

However, they secretly made up their mind to buy a few of them even if they only had ordinary Bingxin Pills after returning from this trip, so that they would be prepared for any trouble.

At this moment, the ground in Qingyuan City once again shook slightly.

Fortunately, although the interval between the demonic energy changes this time was short, no new cracks appeared, and no demons came.

The four of them stopped chatting and each swallowed the elixir to restore their mana. After a short rest, they got up and headed deeper into Qingyuan City.

………

Two days later.

The four people went through seven or eight battles and killed dozens of alien monsters and demons. During this period, they took several detours and finally arrived at Siping Alley near the center of Qingyuan City.

In this street, many wealthy businessmen and petty officials from Qingyuan City have settled.

It is already less than a thousand feet away from the two-realm passage that runs north to south and stretches for dozens of miles.

But standing on the ruins of a collapsed attic at the entrance of Siping Alley, the four of them looked a little solemn.

"Something's wrong!"

Looking at the increasingly dense demonic energy around him, Mao Gang felt a little uneasy.

Not long ago, Qingyuan City was shaken again. Apparently, there was another change in the demonic energy in the demonic realm connected by the passage between the two realms.

This time, it was the eighth change in two days, and the frequency was obviously more frequent than in the past few months.

Not only that, the intensity of the demonic energy fluctuations this time was also more obvious than the previous seven times.

With the violent shaking of the earth, the remaining city walls and buildings nearby, at least a dozen, could no longer hold up and collapsed suddenly.

Even the two-realm passage that divided Qingyuan City expanded further.

More intense demonic energy emerged from the passage between the two realms along with the torn space and turbulence.

"Perhaps, the demonic realm connected to Qingyuan City is currently in a period of active activity..."

Ji Hongling whispered her guess.

Mao Gang also thought so, and he gradually began to think about quitting: "In the two days since I came here, except for yesterday afternoon, I was lucky enough to find a few demon soul flowers, and I have gained nothing else. On the contrary, I have encountered more and more demons. Otherwise, let’s stop our exploration here.”

"It's okay to quit and rest for a few days."

Ji Hongling hesitated for a moment and agreed to Mao Gang's proposal.

He Yunchen, who was dissatisfied with this gain, originally disagreed.

Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly heard Ji Hongling's words and immediately followed his advice: "Senior Sister Ji, do you think so too? I think so too. Sure enough, we have a good understanding!"

Fang Ping observed the changes in the demonic energy around him, thought for a moment, and chose to agree.

As a result, the four people stopped exploring and started to return the same way.

However, they still underestimated the impact that the relatively violent movement of demonic energy had on Qingyuan City.

The relationship between demons and demonic energy is like fish and water.

Affected by this impact, the alien beasts and demons in Qingyuan City were obviously much more active than before and became more threatening.

The disciples who were looking for opportunities to build foundations in Qingyuan City encountered a crisis of some magnitude.

Although the original exploration of Fang Ping and the four of them can be described as walking on thin ice, as long as they are careful enough, they can still avoid most dangers.

But since the violent outbreak just now, the four people were attacked several times more on the way back.

All kinds of blood demons, Yin demons, eye demons, five-party demons...and other demons came one after another.

As soon as they left Siping Alley for a cup of tea, several groups of demons discovered them one after another.

Even though Fang Ping had the Divine Illumination Pearl and could circumvent the danger to a certain extent, he couldn't stop these demons from swarming in from all directions.

As the four people attacked, the noise and mana fluctuations caused by the battle continued to attract more demons and alien monsters.

"There is no point in continuing to fight. We must break out as soon as possible. Which of you has any means?"

Ji Hongling felt the pressure for the first time. Although her top-quality magic weapon was powerful, it also consumed an astonishing amount of mana.

While intensifying his attack, he asked the three of them without looking back.

He Yunchen used his magic power without hesitation and killed a blood demon. But before he could take a breath, he was immediately entangled by a new blood demon.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, he was forced to hand over his trump card: "I have a Yin Thunder Bead, which can severely damage the devil at a critical moment. But I am afraid that the movement will be too big and it will cause more danger."

Yin thunder bead?

Fang Ping was very familiar with this thing, so he quickly dissuaded him: "Although the power of the Yin Thunder Bead is amazing, the movement is even greater. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to use this thing."

Immediately, he said: "I have a few first-level talismans here, which should be able to buy some time."

"good!"

Ji Hongling spoke hastily: "I have a method that can temporarily drive away the demon, but it only takes a few breaths. You need to seize the opportunity and break through the gap. Otherwise, if I miss the opportunity, I will not turn around to save people." Junior Brother Fang, you can judge the timing by yourself and use the talisman to block the following demons."

After quickly discussing a solution, Ji Hongling counted three times and took out a lotus seed-shaped object from the storage bag. After activating it, she threw it in the direction of the breakout.

"Bang!"

In a silent explosion, a dazzling white light lit up, instantly penetrating the nearby demonic energy and illuminating the darkness within dozens of feet.

Under the illumination of the white light, the nearby demons seemed to have suffered great damage and rushed back.

Seeing that the gap for the breakout had been opened, Mao Gang also used one of his own magic tools.

The green magic power turned into a gust of wind and blessed the four people, and they suddenly felt as light as a swallow.

"Go!"

Ji Hongling shouted in a low voice, and her figure was as graceful as a startled wild goose, flying out.

Fang Ping was not in a hurry, and urged the Yanluo step to catch up effortlessly.

Mao Gang and He Yunchen followed closely behind and ran wildly.

Just as the four rushed out several dozen feet and the demons behind them showed signs of catching up again, Fang Ping's eyes flashed and he threw out the talismans he had prepared one after another.

First, a series of ten-foot-high earth walls rose from the ground, blocking the road one after another and slightly blocking the demons.

Then, four illusions that looked exactly like Fang Ping and his group were conjured up under the power of the talismans and fled in all directions.

These illusions, which were lifelike and even retained 10% or 20% of their original combat power, should be able to delay them for a few more breaths.

As the four rushed out of the most dangerous area with the help of the talisman power and escaped from the demons' perception range, the original ubiquitous peeping and sense of crisis suddenly dissipated.
