The Path to Immortality

Two days later.

Under Wu Quan's guidance, Fang Ping entered a teahouse called Wanghu Tower.

This is a three-story teahouse that mainly sells cheap spiritual tea and pastries. Many casual cultivators who have no hope of building a foundation and like the hustle and bustle like to gather here to chat, pool their money to order a pot of the cheapest spiritual tea, and sit for most of the day.

Fang Ping came here for one person and did not do anything surprising.

He followed suit and ordered a pot of Qingluo spiritual tea. He found a secluded corner in the lobby on the first floor and sat down. While drinking slowly, he listened to the casual chats of the casual cultivators and observed the cultivators in the teahouse.

"Uncle, the three cultivators at that table are from the Qingmu Liu family."

Wu Quan hinted with his eyes and quietly transmitted his voice with his magic power.

Following Wu Quan's gesture, Fang Ping saw a burly man and two teenagers who were obviously brought out by their elders to gain experience.

Not long ago, Wu Quan had bought a copy of [Qingmu Body] from the sturdy man and presented it to Fang Ping.

However, the Qingmu Body that Wu Quan bought was exactly the same as the one Fang Ping got from Master Liao of Tingxue Temple. Both only had the first four levels, and the last level was missing.

Fang Ping had told Wu Quan that there were five levels of the complete Qingmu Body.

For this reason, Wu Quan had questioned the seller in every possible way.

But the sturdy man who sold the skills insisted that his own [Qingmu Body] only had four levels, and he had never heard of the five levels.

Ordinary buyers, if they had not done a special investigation, might really be deceived by this statement.

However, according to the information Wu Quan had further inquired in the past few days, the Qingmu Liu family had once produced a physical cultivator who had cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building!

Although it is not ruled out that the ancestors of the Qingmu Liu family had a change of fate and the family fell into decline, resulting in the failure of the complete skills to be passed down. But Fang Ping suspected that it might be that the head of the Qingmu Liu family was unwilling to sell the complete technique for various reasons, so he kept it hidden.

In order to get this last level, at least he had to ask the truth, so Fang Ping went out in person and followed the three Liu family members who were closing their stalls to come to this teahouse.

Fang Ping has always believed that the so-called non-sale items are 99% likely because the price offered is not high enough.

As long as he finds an opportunity to talk to the head of the Qingmu Liu family in person, with the countless chips in Fang Ping's hand, he is not afraid of not being able to impress the other party.

Just when he was secretly considering whether to directly reveal his identity as a foundation-building cultivator and go up to talk, or to find a suitable reason first.

The two late-stage Qi training cultivators on the table across from him caught Fang Ping's attention.

At first glance, the two cultivators, like him and Wu Quan, were also sitting and drinking tea, listening to other cultivators in Wanghu Tower chatting.

In fact, the two were communicating secretly, and from time to time they looked in the other direction of the hall with their peripheral vision, with some ill intentions in their eyes.

The direction they were looking at was exactly the table where the three people from the Liu family were sitting.

Although their actions were not obvious, and could even be said to be obscure, everything was revealed in front of the spiritual sense of the foundation-building cultivator.

Fang Ping's mind moved, and his spiritual sense easily penetrated the soundproof barrier set up by the two people, and eavesdropped on their voice transmission.

"... As long as we do this, our Liuhu duo will be guaranteed to have a good life from now on."

"Hey, this Qingmu Liu family was also prosperous in Liuhufang in the past, and produced more than one foundation-building cultivator. Who would have thought that it would decline to this extent under the hands of Liu Dongqun, and it should be a good thing for you and me."

"That's right! Come on, cheers!"

The two Qi training cultivators looked at each other, replaced wine with tea, and clinked their glasses. They were a little proud, and then began to discuss the specific details of the action.

From the words of the two, they were still quite afraid of Liu Dongqun's strength. However, who asked Liu Dongqun to bring two younger generations from the family this time?

As long as they can capture these two clansmen by surprise, they can be used as hostages to make Liu Dongqun afraid to act rashly.

Even if they cannot kill Liu Dongqun in the end, they can force the Liu family to make a profit!

"... Don't the current robbers know how to be more secretive when doing such a plan? At least choose a quiet room without others!"

After eavesdropping for a while, Fang Ping couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, the plan is good!

Isn't the ready-made reason to contact the Liu family here?

"I hope that you Liuhu Duoxiong and Qingmu Liu family will not let me down..."

Fang Ping's eyes flashed, and he secretly left a secret mark on the Liuhu Duoxiong.

This mark is not a profound method, but with a strong enough divine sense, it is enough to ensure that ordinary foundation-building cultivators will find it difficult to detect.

The two who called themselves Liuhu Duoxiong only had the cultivation of the late stage of Qi training, so it was naturally even more impossible for them to detect the abnormality.

At this time, the cultivators chatting in the teahouse, I don't know who took the lead, talked about the invasion of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and the situation in Liang State. Attracted by this, many cultivators told the news they had heard.

Seeing this, Fang Ping put aside the Qingmu Liu family's affairs for the time being and listened to the conversations of the cultivators in the hall.

However, after just listening for a moment, Fang Ping's mood sank.

Although he had left the Wuji Sect from the moment he left the camp secretly, he had stayed in Luoyang Sect for decades after all, so he must have some feelings.

If possible, he naturally hoped that the situation in Liang State was still good.

But unfortunately, the various information received by the cultivators of Liuhufang, although not necessarily accurate, but no matter which one, all of them were extremely bad.

It was nothing more than the difference between bad and worse.

In just a stick of incense, Fang Ping had a general understanding of the latest situation in Liang State.

Almost all the news clearly mentioned that the Mingyun Immortal City's defense line had been completely conquered by the demon cultivators, and even the mountain gate of the Cangjian Tower, one of the five major immortal gates, had been surrounded by the monks of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance.

Faced with the demon lord with raging flames, the Jindan monks of the Immortal Alliance had no choice but to prioritize their own family. Even those forces that turned against the demon cultivators at the last minute were not punished.

"It seems that it was wise for me to run away decisively..."

Fang Ping sighed, paid for the tea, and asked Wu Quan to continue to watch the Liu family as a layer of insurance, then stood up and walked out of Wanghu Tower.

The Liu family showed no signs of leaving for the time being, and his time was precious, so he naturally didn't want to wait here.

In the previous listening, Fang Ping noticed that the local monks mentioned a force called [Qiankun Pavilion] twice.

This force is not only famous in Liuhufang, but also in most of Weiguo. It seems that there is a Jindan ancestor behind it. The scope of business is very wide, and the most important thing is to sell various intelligence. It is said that the reputation is very good.

Soon, Fang Ping will pass through Jishi Mountain and go to Xihuangzhou.

But Fang Ping has no idea about the Jishi Mountain forbidden area, which is said to be extremely dangerous and haunted by Jindan monsters.

Forewarned is forearmed, otherwise it will fail.

Fang Ping plans to go to Qiankun Pavilion to see if he can buy some accurate information about the Jishi Mountain forbidden area.
