Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 27: Look at it differently
On the empty street, Fang Jingxuan sat on Tuoyuan's back and walked forward.

The market town was blocked, and the streets that used to have a decent flow of people now only had a few shops open, selling some magical rice and medicine.

Tuoyuan was quite large in size, so he naturally attracted a lot of attention. Soon, he attracted a patrol team of five people.

"What are you doing? Which street are you from? The market is closed and you can't move around freely. If you don't have a valid reason, just come with me."

The leading cultivator of the fourth level of Qi Refining led his men to surround them. Seeing this, Fang Jingxuan cursed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and he jumped off Tuoyuan's back swiftly.

"Captain, I'm from Konoha Street. This is my household registration card. Please have a look."

Fang Jingxuan took out the household permit he had obtained when he rented the courtyard house and handed it to the other party for inspection.

After the monk took it, he just glanced at it casually and then pondered in silence.

Fang Jingxuan slapped his head, took out a low-grade spirit stone from his storage bag, secretly stuffed it into the other person's hand, and then said:
"I'm going to the West Gate to do something. The captain of the West Gate Guard is my eldest brother."

After receiving the spirit stone, the team leader's expression improved a little, but it still seemed a little too little, and he didn't care about what Fang Jingxuan said.

He has seen many people like this who use connections to brag nonsense. If he believes everything others say, how can he eat?

Seeing that it was no use bringing someone with him, Fang Jingxuan had to take out the token given by Chu Yunsheng from his storage bag.

As soon as the wooden token was taken out, Fang Jingxuan clearly felt that the other party's attitude had become gentler.

Seeing this, Fang Jingxuan guessed that this token was probably the internal token of their patrol team. When they saw this kind of token, they knew that the other party was one of their own.

And this kind of token cannot be issued to anyone, so its value is quite high, so it won’t be flooded and everyone will have one.

"So you're one of us. Fine then, go quickly and come back quickly, don't miss curfew."

The other party happily let Fang Jingxuan go and turned around to stop a cultivator. As for the unlucky guy behind him, Fang Jingxuan could only wish him the best.

Tuoyuan continued to move forward steadily. Fang Jingxuan played with the inconspicuous token in his hand. It seemed that Chu Yunsheng's status was quite high.

Just by showing it, he saved himself the expense of one or two low-grade spirit stones. Otherwise, looking at the situation, he would have to pay a few more if he wanted to leave.

Was it the value of the secret guard or his identity as a member of the Chu family that allowed Chu Yunsheng to casually take out such a token without feeling any regret?

Fang Jingxuan was thinking about these things along the way. If he wanted to live comfortably in the market, he had to use his brain more.

Arriving at the west gate, Fang Jingxuan came to Wei Tong's rental place and knocked on the door.

"Brother Wei, are you home? It's me, Fang Jingxuan. I heard you were back, so I came over to give you something."

Fang Jingxuan's voice entered the courtyard, and a few breaths later, Wei Tong's voice sounded.

"It's Brother Jingxuan, ahem, wait a moment."

There was a hint of weakness in Wei Tong's voice, which made Fang Jingxuan's heart sink. A moment later, the door opened, revealing Wei Tong's pale face.

Fang Jingxuan held gifts in each hand, including several kilograms of monster flesh and blood, a small bag of spiritual rice, and some miscellaneous items, all of which were quite practical.

Now that the market is blocked, the value of these things is already very high. It can be seen that Fang Jingxuan still cares about Wei Tong.

"Brother Wei, what are you doing?"

Fang Jingxuan hesitated to speak. He could see that Wei Tong was not in a good state, while Wei Tong smiled and said:
"It's okay, just a minor injury. It will be fine after a few days of rest. Please come in." Carrying the things and taking Tu Yuan with him, Fang Jingxuan walked into Wei Tong's courtyard. As the captain of the west gate guard, Wei Tong's courtyard was relatively large, and Tu Yuan seemed very comfortable staying in the courtyard alone.

Fang Jingxuan put the things down and said with concern:
"Brother Wei, are you really alright with your injury? What did the spiritual pharmacist say?"

Seeing Fang Jingxuan caring about him, Wei Tong felt warm in his heart. Fang Jingxuan was the first friend to come to see him, and he brought so much spiritual rice. It was not easy for him, who made a living by ferrying people, to save up such a fortune.

Thinking of this, Wei Tong's eyes softened a bit. He thought for a moment and said:

"I had a fight with a robber cultivator outside and sustained some internal injuries. I asked a pharmacist at the market to take a look. I think he'll be fine after a few days of recuperation. Don't worry."

"Ah, so Brother Wei, you really did fight with that robbery cultivator. How was it? Did you suffer any loss?"

"Humph, he's just a mere robbery cultivator. I fought against a late Qi Refining cultivator without losing. If that bastard didn't have such a deep pocket, I would have taken him down long ago."

Listening to Wei Tong's words, Fang Jingxuan was a little shocked. It was not something that ordinary people could do to fight against a late stage Qi Refining cultivator with a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Seeing Fang Jingxuan's interest in this matter, Wei Tongtan became a little excited and couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Don't look at the fierce and evil looking robber cultivators, but their skills are not good enough, so who would want to become a robber cultivator?
They all became bandits because they could no longer make ends meet, and very few of those who could not make ends meet were from prominent families.

Therefore, the skills practiced by these Tribulation Cultivators are worse than one another. They are all first-grade, low- to medium-grade skills. It is good enough to have a first-grade, high-grade skill, and second- and third-grade skills are even worse.

That is, they rely on the powerful magical instruments and talismans they have snatched. These robbery cultivators have always been attracted to such life-saving things. Although their realms are not very good, they do have a lot of experience in fighting magic."

Hearing this, Fang Jingxuan asked curiously:

"Then the robbery cultivators have never snatched a good technique. Don't they want to change their cultivation?"

"Of course I want to, but changing cultivation methods is not that easy. It may take one or two years to complete, but it may take four or five years to complete. If I fail and suffer backlash, my life will be over.

Moreover, as a Jie cultivator, you have enemies everywhere, so you don't have the time for such things. Jie cultivators also rule by fists. During the period of changing cultivation methods, your fighting ability is weakened, and if you are tricked, you have no place to seek justice. So, Jie cultivators may look carefree, but in reality, they live like rats.

When mentioning Tribulation Cultivators, Wei Tong's eyes were filled with contempt. In his opinion, the upper limit of Tribulation Cultivators was the late Qi Refining stage, and there were very few Tribulation Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Because once a Tribulation Cultivator breaks through the Foundation Establishment stage, he will have to try to clear his name, otherwise he will not be able to practice at all by just relying on stealing the resources of the Qi Refining Cultivators.

After chatting about the topic of robbery cultivation for a few minutes, Fang Jingxuan stopped asking these questions. He recounted the previous fight with Chu Yunsheng and hoped that Wei Tong could call Chu Yunsheng over to have a meal together.

After hearing this, Wei Tong's eyes looked at Fang Jingxuan with some changes. He didn't expect that Fang Jingxuan could fight with Chu Yunsheng and not be at a disadvantage.

"Chu Yunsheng, okay, wait for my news. Let's have a good drink tonight. I'll bring a few more guys over. They're all our own people, so you can get to know them. When I'm not around, you can just ask them to do anything."

Hearing Wei Tong say this, Fang Jingxuan felt happy. It seemed that Wei Tong was injured, and he made the right move by coming to visit him.

I didn't expect Wei Tong to get injured before, but this time it was an unexpected blessing. In this situation, Wei Tong became more emotional.

Obviously, Wei Tong recognized me and wanted to pull me into his small circle. As the captain of the West Gate Guard, he was in charge of five or six monks. Who were the powerful people in his circle?

Thinking of this, Fang Jingxuan immediately said:

"That's great. Brother Wei, go make the contact first, and I'll go reserve a table."

"Why order a table? Let's eat at my house tonight. I've got some good food for this outing. Let everyone try it. Just bring some wine."
