Xiuxian: I have an inventory

Chapter 151 The evil spirit appears again!

Compared with the growth of the soul and the improvement of the spiritual root qualifications, the third skill of the Dragon Essence Pill, the physical cultivation talent, seems "ordinary".

Mainly because in today's world of immortal cultivation, physical cultivation has become an eliminated cultivation system.

There are very few specialized body cultivators.

Even if there is, it is basically up to the second level, which is equivalent to the foundation-building level.

As for the third-order physical cultivators who are even more powerful and comparable to the Jindan cultivators, there may be such powerful existences in the Dayu immortal cultivation world, but these cultivators must have already formed the Jindan in their Qi training a long time ago!
First form the elixir, and then use physical cultivation as a means, or supernatural power, to improve.

In the current era, there has not yet appeared a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there is no one who has reached the third stage of physical cultivation.

Therefore, in Xiao Changqing's view, physical cultivation talent is equivalent to talismans, alchemy, and beast taming. It is used as a trump card and a means to enrich one's own skills, rather than the main method of cultivation.

He put more of his energy into cultivating his magic power and tempering his soul.

Magic power and soul are the foundation.

"What's good is that the level of the physical training talent is green, not the lowest level white..."

According to the levels classified by Xiao Changqing himself, white talent is equivalent to middle and lower grade spiritual roots, which is the most common in the world of immortal cultivation. It is mediocre even if one has certain talents.

The green talent can be regarded as a top-grade spiritual root, and can barely be considered a good genius.

Of course, this is from Xiao Changqing's current perspective.

If you are in a small place like Nanshanfang, you will be a rare gifted person.

For example, in Xiao Changqing's evaluation of the talisman master Lu Qiulu back then, his talent in talismans was roughly a darker green.

Xiao Changqing now has green talents in talismans and physical cultivation.

Green talent does not require too much time to be honed and improved, and the rewards are far less than investing time in the cultivation of the top-grade water spiritual roots.

So after the auction, Xiao Changqing practiced more diligently, stayed at home and rarely went out, determined to build the late stage of foundation as soon as possible.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

In the past two months, in addition to practicing diligently, Xiao Changqing also did not forget to look for opportunities to find Blood Crow Master "alone".

Unfortunately, it seemed that True Man Blood Crow had obtained the Three-Pattern Jade Dew Pill and wanted to take this opportunity to break through to the middle stage of the Core Formation Stage, so he had been in seclusion for some time, and did not give Xiao Changqing the opportunity to assassinate him quietly.

However, a lot of things happened in Liyang Fairy City in the past two months.

Perhaps it was because of the grand auction held once every ten years, which gathered too many monks from all walks of life, and many treasures appeared, so many vicious incidents occurred outside the city, and many monks were robbed of their property and lost their lives.

According to the rules, what happened outside the city had nothing to do with Li Yang Xian City.

But although Liyang Immortal City is a city for independent cultivators, it is a righteous city after all, and they will not allow robber cultivators to surround the immortal city and do evil, robbing the cultivators and caravans passing by.

First of all, it is morally unacceptable, and secondly, it is also a damage to the image and reputation of the fairy city.

Therefore, under the leadership of Gu Zongyuan, the Liyang Guards have been dispatched frequently during this period, hunting down robbers and wanted criminals everywhere.

Xiao Changqing did not participate.

Because the powerful ones among these Tribulation Cultivators were only in the middle or late stages of the Foundation Establishment Stage, ordinary Li Yang Guards were enough to deal with them, so Gu Zongyuan did not bother Xiao Changqing.

It was another thing that made Xiao Changqing feel a little alert.

This was the news that the Lin sisters found out.

In the cave area where they lived, there was a middle-aged male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building who died suddenly in the cave a few days ago!

Not only did he die, but all of his concubines and maids died.

He was not killed by Jie Xiu.

In Liyang Immortal City, no robbery cultivator had dared to act so boldly, not to mention that the target was a cultivator named Cui who was in the middle stage of foundation building.

According to the information we got, this person had gone out treasure hunting with friends three months ago and when he returned he noticed something was wrong and suspected he was haunted by evil spirits!

The specific circumstances were unknown, and the Lin sisters had not found out.

The general news is that after Master Cui came back, his spirit became weaker and weaker day by day. His body became weak inexplicably and his soul was exhausted. Even though he was in the middle stage of foundation building, he was unable to reverse this strange negative state.

After more than ten days, Monk Cui finally feared that he could not bear it anymore, so he tried every possible way and spent a lot of money to ask an expert for help to solve the problem.

Finally, he invited a fake Dan Zhenren to suppress and drive away the evil spirits in his body.

Afterwards, Master Cui's condition was relieved and gradually recovered. Two months ago, he participated in an auction and even spent more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy an unpopular second-grade high-grade magic weapon specifically for evil spirits and ghosts.

As a result, no one expected that this monk named Cui would suddenly die after such a long time.

Not only that, all the concubines and maids around her suffered the same fate, no one was spared.

"Master, do you think this is a trick by the robbers to create mystery, or is there really an evil spirit?"

Lin Ziyu also knows a little about evil spirits.

Back in Nanshanfang, Sister Ruan Qingzhu's son Ruan Bufan was haunted by an evil spirit and almost lost his life. He was saved by Xiao Changqing's talisman.

The problem that time was obviously not too serious, or the evil spirit was not strong enough.

Then there was Mu Renjie, the patriarch of the Mu family, who also seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and turned himself into a half-evil, half-human walking corpse.

"Why do you seem not worried at all?" Xiao Changqing asked curiously, "When we were in Nanshanfang, you were very worried when you heard about the evil spirit."

Lin Ziyu analyzed, "How can Nanshanfang be compared with Liyang Immortal City? Even if an evil spirit really appeared this time, and it is much stronger than the one in Nanshanfang before, even the cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building would be powerless to fight back. However, this is the largest city of independent cultivators in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World. There are many fake elixir and elixir-forming real people, and there is also Liyang real person in charge. No matter how powerful the evil spirit is, it is impossible to stir up a big storm in Liyang Immortal City."

Xiao Changqing nodded. In the prosperous place of the immortal cultivation world, although the costs in all aspects will be much higher, it is difficult to stand out and become an upper class.

However, when encountering danger, the ability to resist risks will be much stronger.

In a small place like Nanshanfang, a powerful evil spirit could cause panic among everyone, but in Liyang Fairy City, it is not enough to attract many people's attention.

"However, we still need to find out more about this matter to be prepared for any eventuality." Xiao Changqing thought for a moment and said.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Although evil spirits are unlikely to cause much trouble in a place like Li Yang Fairy City, it would be troublesome if one were to be caught in the trap unknowingly, like this foundation-building cultivator named Cui.

Moreover, Xiao Changqing had fragments of the Immortality Stone on him.

The fundamental reason why Mu Renjie became a half-evil monster was because of this fragment of the Immortality Stone.

The fragment of the Immortality Stone is currently Xiao Changqing's important equipment. It is no exaggeration to say that it is his right-hand man and left-hand arm. He is indispensable.

Even though the fragments of the Immortality Stone seem to be normal now and will not cause any negative impact on Xiao Changqing after systematic extraction, Xiao Changqing still wants to figure out the secrets and involvements involved.

and……

On the way to Liyang Fairy City, before crossing the Yunling Mountains, Xiao Changqing's experience of Qingjianfang, which was once quite prosperous but has now fallen into a black market, has made him more cautious when facing evil spirits.

Although Qingjianfang is just a market town, there are tens of thousands of cultivators there, including many in the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, it is suspected that nearly half of them died at the hands of evil spirits overnight. Finally, a Jindan cultivator from the Luoxia Sect went to investigate the situation, but he also suffered a great disaster and eventually died.

If it were an evil spirit of this level, Xiao Changqing would be afraid of it with his current strength.

the next day.

After more than two months, Xiao Changqing finally "visited" the Liyangwei base camp again.

"What brings you here, Brother Bai? Did you hear that Liyangwei has been quite busy lately and is short of manpower, so you want to come and help?" Gu Zongyuan joked with a smile.

"Is the Li Yang Guard still busy? I heard that the robbers near the Li Yang Immortal City have been almost cleared out and order has been restored." Xiao Changqing pretended to be puzzled.

Gu Zongyuan said unhappily, "I thought you were in seclusion practicing and didn't care about what was happening outside, but it turns out you know everything? Since you have the time to inquire about these things, why don't you come to Liyangwei to report and lead the team to hunt down the robbers?"

Xiao Changqing smiled and said, "I am giving the opportunity and credit to others. Hunting down the robbery cultivators is a bit hard, but these robbery cultivators should be quite wealthy. Catching one will yield a lot."

"Alright, I know you're not short of money. You don't even care about a small-time robbery cultivator like me. You even want a share of the spoils... It's not even enough for you to buy one-tenth of the Dragon Spirit Pill!"

Gu Zongyuan waved his hand, then seemed to have thought of something, and said seriously: "Oh, right. Xingyue Palace's Ding Yanran is still staying in Liyang Fairy City. I heard that she is still obsessed with your Jiaolong Essence Pill and wants to snatch it from you. You have to be careful."

"So persistent?" Xiao Changqing frowned.

These Yuanying sect disciples may not be very good in other aspects, but their "perseverance" is very firm.

However, it is impossible to take the Dragon Essence Pill from him.

The two chatted for a while.

Xiao Changqing started talking about business. "What happened to the foundation-building cultivator surnamed Cui who died suddenly in Jinxiufang a few days ago? Was it a robbery cultivator who committed the crime, or did he really die at the hands of an evil spirit as rumored?"

Hearing this, Gu Zongyuan's expression also became more solemn, "It's not a robbery cultivator. There are no signs of fighting. Even a fake Dan cultivator would find it difficult to do this. It can be basically confirmed that he is entangled with something unclean."

"In fact, it's not just this Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Cui. In Liyang Immortal City, another Foundation Establishment cultivator also died suddenly and inexplicably. His death was similar to that of the cultivator surnamed Cui, both of them were very miserable. These two were the partners who went out together to explore opportunities three months ago!"

"I'm still investigating this matter. There were three of them who went out at the time. These two died in an accident. The other one was not a cultivator from our Liyang Immortal City. He rented a cave on a small second-level spiritual vein thousands of miles away. I have sent people to check and inquire about the situation."

"If this person is still alive, perhaps we can find out the specific reasons. What happened to the three of them when they were searching for treasure? What unclean things did they encounter?"

Xiao Changqing nodded.

It seems that we have indeed encountered evil spirits.

The death of one person could be considered an accident, but the sudden death of another foundation-building cultivator who was traveling with them must have led to his being contaminated by something ominous during the treasure hunt.

This situation is much worse than what Ruan Qingzhu's son Ruan Bufan encountered.

Ruan Bufan was just on his way when he sensed the ominous sign from afar and was so scared that he quickly turned around and fled. So after returning to Nanshanfang, Xiao Changqing solved the problem with a few evil-breaking talismans and calming talismans.

The three monks surnamed Cui had obviously entered the territory of evil spirits, and even had close contact with them and even had a conflict with them, which is why the medicine was ineffective.

Even though he had reached the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he returned to Liyang Immortal City and looked for solutions everywhere, even asking for help from the fake Dan Zhenren, but he still died in the end without knowing it.

"Let me know when you have specific news."

After Xiao Changqing gave his instructions, he prepared to leave.

At this time, Gu Zongyuan suddenly called him, "Now that you are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? There is a mission coming up, do you want to join in?"

Xiao Changqing stopped and asked, "What mission?"

Gu Zongyuan smiled and said, "It must be good, and the reward is not bad. With your strength, brother Bai, how can I have the nerve to ask you to participate in ordinary tasks?"

Afterwards, Gu Zongyuan explained it in detail.

It turned out that during this period of time, the Li Yang Guards had been hunting down the Tribulation Cultivators around the Li Yang Immortal City. Although most of them were small fish and shrimps, most of them were Tribulation Cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building.

But before we knew it, we also found some clues to the 'big fish'!

Among them, there was a criminal who had committed countless crimes and had a long backlog of cases. He was also a well-known robber in the entire Dayu cultivation world...

The strength of this Jie Xiu was unfathomable. Several Jindan sects in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World issued a wanted order for him and sent out real people in the early Jindan stage to hunt him down, but they all returned in vain and let him escape.

Therefore, the immortal cultivation world estimates his strength and believes that this guy is most likely a fake Dan Zhenren.
