The Path to Immortality

Seeing that it was his turn, Fang Ping walked forward calmly.

The law enforcement team member took a look and saw that Fang Ping was just a Qigong cultivator with a straightforward appearance, so he felt relieved.

He asked in a businesslike manner: "Who are you, and why are you here?"

Fang Ping imitated the accent and intonation he heard on the way and said calmly: "I am Fang Ping, a casual cultivator from Shilin Mountain. I came to the market to buy some spiritual medicine."

I'm from Shilin Mountain!

The law enforcement team members' eyes suddenly became a little colder. The reputation of casual cultivators in that place has never been very good.

Out of caution, he asked again: "You don't look like an alchemist, what's the point of buying spiritual medicine?"

Fang Ping casually reported several important medicinal materials for the recipe of Peiyuan Pill, and said: "My cultivation has stagnated recently, so I want to buy some medicinal materials and ask a senior to help me refine Peiyuan Pill. By the way, see if there are any spiritual objects that assist in foundation building to prepare for foundation building."

The ninth level of Qi training, this intention is reasonable.

The law enforcement team member saw that there was nothing suspicious, so he was too lazy to ask again: "Pay a spiritual stone and you can go in."

………

After a while.

Fang Ping passed the fog restriction outside the market and entered the Jinqueshan market through the entrance.

Until this moment, he seemed calm but was actually a little nervous, and finally put his mind at ease.

"Sure enough, this place is also within the sphere of influence of Wuhui Sect."

If nothing unexpected happened, the previous inspection was aimed at himself, Ding Biwu, and Duanmu Chen.

It seems that after collecting some information here and gaining a better understanding of the Western Wasteland, it is necessary to leave the sphere of influence of the Wuhui Sect as soon as possible.

Having made up his mind, he put away his distracting thoughts and looked around.

An ancient and lively market appeared in front of Fang Ping.

The layout of the market is roughly in the form of a nine-palace layout. The architectural style during this period is quite exotic in the Western Wasteland, which is obviously different from Yunzhou.

Walking in it, you can see cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi training everywhere, and the figures of foundation-building cultivators can also be seen from time to time.

The ordinary small market has already reached the level of Luoyunfang. Seeing the whole leopard from a small part, Fang Ping once again appreciates the prosperity of the cultivation world in the Western Wasteland.

He risked crossing Jishishan Mountain and had accidentally made enemies with the Jindan Sect of Wuhui Sect not long ago. It really cost a lot. But now it seems that these costs are worth it!

Walking in the market, Fang Ping looked at the shops along the way casually like an ordinary guest.

As usual, it is better to collect some information first.

It is obviously not possible to ask someone directly, as it will only arouse suspicion from the market and the disciples of Wuhui Sect.

After walking around the market for a while, Fang Ping walked into a teahouse called [Cai Ming Xuan].

He ordered a pot of spiritual tea with five spiritual stones and sat in the corner of the hall. He seemed to drink it carelessly, but in fact he was concentrating on listening to the conversations of the monks around him.

He just listened to a few words, and the content of the conversations of several monks made him excited. They were talking about the grievances and recent confrontations between Wuhui Sect and Ruyi Sect.

Before flattening the Wuhui Sect camp, Fang Ping had no feelings for these two unfamiliar Jindan sects, but since he had offended Wuhui Sect, it was different.

Since they were enemies, he naturally had to collect more information.

"... After all, Wuhui Sect is very powerful. Although the loss of the middle-grade spiritual stone mine in Jihai Mountain will definitely have a significant impact in the long run, in the short term, the combat power has not been greatly lost. Ruyi Sect wants to take down Wuhui Sect in one fell swoop, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

One of the cultivators who had completed Qi training confidently expressed his opinion.

The nearby cultivators obviously had different opinions: "This is wrong."

"The grievances between Ruyi Sect and Wuhui Sect can be traced back hundreds of years."

"Ruyi Sect's strategy is extremely wise. From the beginning, they never thought of defeating Wuhui Sect in one fell swoop, but instead took piecemeal measures and continued to suppress and nibble away. This time, the seizure of the mineral vein can be said to be a phased victory."

"If Wuhui Sect continues like this, the cultivation resources it can obtain will become less and less. Sooner or later, it will be completely suppressed by Ruyi Sect and will no longer be able to turn the tide!"

The previous Qi training perfect cultivator said disapprovingly: "It's just a medium-grade spirit stone vein, and the impact is not to the extent you said. Besides, Wuhui Sect is not without other resource channels. They control the entrance to Jishishan Mountain. I don't know how much income the cultivators who have traveled from Yunzhou to Xihuang in recent years have provided to Wuhui Sect!"

This kind of continuous income is no worse than a spirit stone vein!

More importantly, the mineral vein will be exhausted, but as long as Jishishan Mountain is still there, it can collect tolls continuously and never worry about exhaustion!

This statement would be correct on normal days.

But today, as soon as it came out, it attracted laughter from several cultivators in the hall.

Seeing this, the cultivator was a little confused, not knowing what was wrong with what he said.

After a while, a cultivator who was drinking tea said, "Daoyou are not well-informed. Just a few days ago, the camp of Wuhui Sect in Jishishan was razed to the ground. It is said that the loss was heavy, and six or seven foundation-building cultivators died."

This news caused quite a stir in the teahouse.

After all, Wuhui Sect is one of the largest Jindan sects nearby, and no one dares to provoke it on normal days.

Who was so bold as to dare to attack Wuhui Sect?

It happened only a few days ago, and even the manager of Jinqueshan Market received the news yesterday. Not many people knew about it, and someone immediately asked about it.

The monk who was drinking tea saw everyone looking at him and shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know the specific situation. I only heard from a fellow Taoist of Wuhui Sect that this matter was extremely bad, and even a Jindan ancestor was alarmed and personally took action to hunt down the murderer."

"At present, it is certain that a monk from Yunzhou has been captured. His soul was extracted and lit on a sky lantern, and hung on the mountain road in front of the sect. It will take a hundred years to be freed. The other two should still be on the run..."

Hiss~

Hearing the cruel methods of Wuhui Sect, many monks present took a breath of cold air.

Jindan monks personally took action to torture the soul for a hundred years. This is the most cruel punishment, which is a hundred times more painful than direct death!

It seems that Wuhui Sect really hates those people.

But it is understandable.

Wuhui Sect has been at a disadvantage in several battles with Ruyi Sect recently, and its prestige has been lost. It is a time of annoyance and frustration.

Now that someone has come knocking on the door, it is natural to punish them severely so that other nearby forces and monks will weigh the consequences of opposing Wuhui Sect and dare not easily have a different mind!

Even Fang Ping in the crowd was secretly shocked after hearing this.

"Someone has been arrested? Who could it be?"

Ding Biwu? Or Duanmu Chen?

In a hurry, Fang Ping could not make a rash guess and could only pity the man in his heart.

It was obviously the people of Wuhui Sect who had evil thoughts first, forcing the three of them to resist, but they ended up suffering such vicious torture. This made Fang Ping remember Wuhui Sect again in his heart.
