Immortal Road.

Chapter 556: Changli Demon Village, Encounter with the People in the Market

"Luanchun, he should have gone to the Changli Demon Village."

The old woman's eyes were cloudy and her scattered gaze had just focused as she was pulled back from her memories.

The little girl carried a basket and acted coquettishly to her for a while, then hummed a song and walked down the long steps.

Looking at her apprentice's innocent appearance, she couldn't help but sigh. Looking at the vast and lush mountains in the distance, she began to recall the past. This is what people like when they get old.

But he suddenly came to his senses and shouted to his disciple who had disappeared down the mountain.

"Where are you going? Be careful of the evil thieves outside, don't get fooled!"

A clear child's voice was heard from the far end of the stairs.

"Hehe, don't worry! I'm just going to the mountain next door to pick some mushrooms!"

Although the old woman was worried, she thought that the surrounding mountains were under the influence of their sect and those evil thieves would not be so presumptuous, so she let her go.

Little did they know that there were already several groups of people secretly following in the forest outside, watching a little girl go down one mountain and up another, with sinister smiles of long anticipation on their faces.

Changli Demon Village.

A woman in a black veil and a bamboo hat sat quietly in a noisy tavern. There was a jar of wine and two plates of side dishes on the table, but she didn't even touch her chopsticks.

The evil men around were shouting incessantly, laughing loudly, clinking their bowls together, and the shiny wine was spilled all over the floor.

Some leftover fish and chicken bones were thrown on the ground without any scruples by them. The shopkeeper and the waiters were used to it and no one cared.

The restaurant was a mess.

There were some ragged beggars wandering around, snatching leftovers from the equally skinny dogs.

These beggars have some level of cultivation, but it is only in the initial or middle stage of Qi training. After such a long period of neglect, they are no different from ordinary warriors.

In the world of cultivation, this kind of person is called "Zhi".

彘 means piglet.

They had been slaves, or had their organs removed for transplants, or were disabled in fights, or were poisoned and terminally ill, or were addicted to magic poison, or lost all their wealth in gambling and whoring.
There are even more people who are unable to earn enough spirit stones to heal themselves in this cannibalistic place.

Can only degenerate!

Under the fast pace and high pressure of the demonic world, one must either develop into a tenacious, strong-willed, and ruthless person to go against the tide.

Otherwise, it will breed those at the bottom of the cultivation world who have no hope in life and no future!

The strong become stronger and the weak become weaker.

In the devil's world, lying down means begging!

Even if they really go to the mortal world, these people might not survive!
Because Chu is a kingdom of magic.

Those innate masters in the mortal world, seeing these low-level immortal cultivators who are doing miserably, will want to take advantage of their weakness to kill them, and come in groups of three or five to "fight monsters"!
Aren't you a fairy master? It's best to be sick!
We are hunting the Immortal Master!

As long as we kill you, we will inherit your property and we may also become immortal masters!
In the kingdom of magic, kings, princes, generals and ministers are really brave!

Therefore, these losers who were washed away by the great waves can only hide in the magic market to beg for food, and dare not even return to the secular world.

And the local dog that was competing with them for food was no ordinary dog, but a "monster".

Actually, there were no Warcraft in this world.

It is only because the monks of the magic path, in order to transform their spiritual pets, use magic energy to nourish and cultivate them, strengthen their whole body, and even plant magic seeds in them, that the magical beasts are born.

However, because Warcraft's minds are somewhat violent and chaotic, and their bloodlines and talents are polluted, they are mostly unable to reproduce.

But there is one exception.

There was a big boss of the Demon Sect back then. He summoned a 'Demon Dog Lord' from the hell world!
The bloodline of this hellish creature was too powerful, and it left offspring directly in this world. Coupled with its strong reproductive ability, it quickly spread everywhere.

At the beginning, it caused a frenzy in the demonic and cultivating world!
Because at that time, Warcraft was still a rare commodity that only high-level monks could have. After all, not everyone could afford to "modify" it!

But seeing more and more monsters appearing, they would be willing to keep even a dog!

This led to the situation in that era where everyone carried a magic dog with them when they went out, which basically became the standard in the world of magic cultivation.

People at that time jokingly said: "You start with a dog and have to rely on robbing for equipment." This is how it came about.

But things were different later.

You know, blood will definitely be diluted over time.

The laws of nature are always like this.

Therefore, for most of the demon dogs, their offspring have increasingly thinner bloodlines, lower upper limits, and weaker strength.

In the end, there was no other choice but to abandon many magical beasts that had no potential and leave them on the streets of the cultivation market with no one to care about them.

Because these monsters have been polluted, they cannot be served on the table, so they can only wander the streets and compete with beggars for food.

However, there is always a one in ten thousand chance that some magical beasts with their ancestral bloodlines will be born, which gives rise to another industry of opening blind boxes before the birth of the cubs in the world of magic.

"Gambling dog".

As the name suggests, he is simply a gambler.

People who gamble on dogs are also called dog gamblers.

Gamble on the dog, gamble on the dog, and in the end, you will have nothing.

Living on the streets and begging with dogs is also a helpless act.

Therefore, in many demonic families, the clans strictly forbid their children from getting involved in gambling, as the elders are afraid that the younger generations will squander all their accumulated assets.

Of course, there are some individual cases.

For example, Lao Mo, a subordinate of Young Master Jiuyou, had been lurking in Lu State for so many years. He had a dark demon dog at the peak of foundation building stage, which was a mutated demon beast created by gambling.

On the demonic side, the debt collection industry is also booming.

The various methods of door-to-door debt collection have been developed to the extreme, and the number of people engaged in this field is very large.

Correspondingly, the number of debt evaders is even larger.
Because the evil characters are inherently selfish, only a few of them actually borrow money, and most of them are lenders!
And many more low-level monks got into debt without knowing why, and even they themselves didn't know when they fell into the trap!
What should I do if I can’t afford it?
Run!

What if I can’t run away?
Either sell your organs or become a slave, choose your own path.

Most people don't want to be slaves, so they can only hurt themselves, which then leads to increasingly difficult conditions for the lower classes. This is a deformed development in the world of cultivation.

But because of the fierce competition, all the cultivators here are brave and aggressive. In addition, the cruel training and elimination mechanism of the top sects of the evil way enables them to not lose out in the confrontation with the righteous cultivation world.

When Lin Shan was exhausted from the journey.

When they came to the Demonic Chu State from the northeastern border of the State of Lu with Brother Chicken and the Pig-Headed Monster, they wandered around and finally walked into this cultivation market.

He contacted an old friend in advance.

"Why don't we go to Jin State instead of Chu State?"

Brother Ji asked in confusion.

Lin Shan walked on the street, looking at the bustling crowd, marveling at the huge base of low-level cultivators in the Demonic Path, and patiently explained it.

"There are two reasons." "First, I have a good brother in Jin who is jealous of me. I am afraid that he will trip us up after I go there. With his current power, your sect will definitely not be established."

"The second option is here in Chu State. There is an elder of mine who is a demon here. We can go to her place to rest first, learn about the local intelligence, and then make plans."

After listening to this, Brother Ji nodded repeatedly and praised Lin Shan for his thoughtful consideration.

The pig-headed monster dozed off on his other shoulder and snored in his sleep.

When the cultivators in the Demonic Market saw him passing by, most of them thought it was normal, believing that this young man in white at most had two spirit pets, which was no big deal.

Although the chicken on this person's shoulder looks quite spiritual.

As Lin Shan walked deeper into the market town, he saw a more comprehensive view and gained a more intuitive understanding of the atmosphere of this demonic kingdom.

This place is completely different from the former Yichuanfang City!

Although Yichuan was later occupied by the State of Yan, most of the people living there were still the original natives. It would be difficult for them to change their roles from the righteous to the evil in a short period of time.

But Changli Demon Village is a legitimate magic market!

Eighty percent of the monks inside are practicing magic!

The men and women on the street were all dressed in wild, revealing, seductive, and primitive clothes.
There are various shapes and colors, competing with each other for beauty.

Everyone has his or her own personality and doesn't care about other people's opinions.

The decoration styles of the shops and stalls on both sides are very different.

Some like to turn their shops into haunted houses, some into fishy mouths, some into spooky demon caves, and some into dark caves.
When you walk on the street, you can feel the cold air blowing in, which is so chilly that it makes people retreat.

Especially a 'animal stable'.

The entrance is shaped like a bull's head, and the two horns on top of the head are long lightning rods. Various spirit beasts and demons are howling inside, making people mistakenly believe that it is the underworld.

Lin Shan, who was used to living in a bright place, was a little uncomfortable when he first came here.

Fortunately, he is now strong enough, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

When I have some free time, I will bring Brother Chicken and the Pig-headed Monster with me to take a look.

What made him feel strange was that there were many beggars on the street with lifeless eyes, kneeling on the ground begging for food.

A beggar in the world of cultivation.

I used to always hear in Lu that there were many beggars from the cultivation world in the Demonic Kingdom, but everyone just laughed it off and treated it as a topic of conversation, and few people took it seriously.

After all, in the righteous country, no matter how terrible the immortal cultivators are, they can still live well in the mortal world. It is nothing more than ruining their own future and indulging in pleasure.

It would be nice to be a guest official for a mortal prince!

But in the world of cultivation in the demonic kingdom, there are cultivators who have become beggars. It feels so unreal.

Yet it is what it is.

All kinds of innate warriors in the mortal world have an urge to hunt the old, weak, sick and disabled. Who can not love the chance to change their destiny by taking a chance?
There were stray dogs running around on the ground, and the dirty and poor security environment made it feel like I was in a slum.

Only those shops with imposing facades and guards at the door will be clean and tidy and look more comfortable.

Lin Shan only walked three streets when no less than ten groups of people came up to him and wanted to buy the chicken on his shoulder.

Because Brother Ji behaved so spiritually, many demon monks were attracted to him.

Lin Shan didn't care and just laughed it off, but Brother Ji was so angry that he almost tore those people apart.

Came to a tavern.

'Ancient Burning Demon Drink'.

The name of this guy's shop is quite domineering, and it is exactly the same as the meeting place Lin Shan had arranged.

He parted the door curtain and looked inside.

Noisy, dirty, smelly, cramped space.
There was disgust in Brother Ji's eyes.

Lin Shan walked in calmly, and using his senses to pass through the people gathered at the tables, he came to a table in the corner.

"Why not choose a cleaner place, or even a private room?"

The woman in a black veil and a bamboo hat opposite him stretched out her arm. Her wrist was white and translucent under the veil. She opened her hand, which was as white as jade, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Why, you opened a private room for our Master Lin alone, are you planning to provide some shameful services?
If you want to tell me earlier, I can satisfy you~"

After saying this, the woman set up an anti-spying barrier around herself, temporarily lifted her veil over her bamboo hat, smiled with her red lips, and intentionally or unintentionally parted her skirt to the side, revealing her smooth and slender calves.

Her eyes became magical, charming, attractive, watery and alluring.

She is no longer the innocent and arrogant Luanchun she once was.

"You've changed over the years."

Lin Shan could also predict that after being in the magic world for so long, this little girl had indeed learned some seductive techniques, which are a must-have for every female cultivator in the magic world.

Once a young girl, now a seductive young woman.

Time passes silently and makes people sigh.

"After all these years, you haven't changed."

The old friend opposite looked at Lin Shan carefully. He was still the same young man seventy years ago, as if time had left no trace on him.

She knew that the young man in front of her had become a genius in the immortal way who was famous in the country of Lu, the leader of a sect, and a Jindan Zhenren who held great power!
Natural youthfulness remains.

As for myself, I am stuck in the foundation-building stage and it is difficult to make any further progress.

It's not that she couldn't try to break through the Jindan stage, but she didn't have more than 30% confidence and didn't dare to take that step.

This is a huge hurdle that stands in the way of the vast majority of low- and middle-level cultivators!
Even though her master had been worrying about her breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage for years and had tried every possible way to look for it everywhere, he still couldn't find a reliable spiritual elixir.

If the breakthrough fails, it will be a pain she cannot bear.

The young man in front of him had already waded to the other side and was walking further and further away, and the gap between the two was getting bigger and bigger.

She has endured so much grievance over the years and has learned to endure humiliation. She is no longer the little princess under the protection of her master.

Under the training of the big environment, his character has become particularly cautious. He has to change his appearance when going out and hide in the market when meeting old friends.

She knew how hard it was for her master to lay this foundation for his disciples in the demonic world, and she could no longer act recklessly as she had done before.

While not causing trouble for the master, you should also find ways to share her worries.

Because she has grown up.

Similarly, not only her personality and behavior have changed, but her flat breasts have also changed to A-c. The outline alone is visibly fuller and rounder, giving off the aura of a mature young woman.

Lin Shan didn't know whether there was real substance or it was just something added in.

Although he could detect with his spiritual sense and see through things with his pupils, that was very impolite, especially when dealing with old friends, as it seemed a bit distrustful.

"Protector Yan, how is she doing recently?"
