If I let you become a druid, would you join the Demon Sect?

Chapter 82 Life is short, why do you take shortcuts?

Gu Yan looked around and soon found his target.

He came to the sky above a city, his body shape changed, and his robes emerged, turning into human form again, floating leisurely downwards.

The city is not big and is mostly populated by ordinary people.

Gu Yan followed the location he had just explored with his spiritual eyes and came to a restaurant, then walked towards a table by the window.

There were three men and one woman sitting there.

One of them noticed Gu Yan approaching and gave a look to his companions.

Four people watched at the same time.

Seeing this, Gu Yan chuckled: "My fellow Daoists, please, I would like to take a look at the map of the surrounding area for a fee. Could you please give me a favor?"

I heard the name from fellow Taoist.

The older man, with a flash of intelligence in his eyes, stood up in astonishment. With a flick of his hand, he cast a small isolation spell, pulled the others along, and saluted Gu Yan respectfully: "Senior, you are too polite. It's just a map, please take it."

As he spoke, he looked at the woman among the four.

The woman looked young and was frightened by the reaction of her elders.

She took out a jade slip tremblingly, lowered her head, and handed it to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan took the jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows only after making sure that there was no problem with the spiritual pattern on it.

next moment.

The densely packed map inside came into mind.

Gu Yan used the map above and compared it with the maps he had collected before, and quickly determined his location.

He was a little surprised: "It turns out that I rushed all the way three years ago and came to the mortal kingdom ruled by the neighboring Tianxuan Sect..."

Tianxuan Sect is different from Baigu Sect. It is relatively peaceful and belongs to the so-called orthodox sect.

No wonder the few low-level cultivators in front of him were relatively peaceful cultivators under his eyes of judgment. None of them practiced those techniques that would damage one's virtue. Especially the female cultivator among them, the white light was thick, without a trace of black light, and she had never even seen blood.

Gu Yan put down the jade slip and returned it to the female cultivator along with a spirit stone: "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Looking at Gu Yan's back as he left.

The female cultivator finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She happily put the spirit stone into her small animal hide bag, then looked at the middle-aged man who had just spoken and asked curiously, "Uncle, was that senior's cultivation level very high?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Under the Spirit Eye Technique, I can't see any spiritual energy emerging. I don't dare to use my spiritual sense to easily detect it. However, the clothes he is wearing are a mid-grade robe."

Hearing this, the others were all envious.

It turned out to be a mid-grade robe!
You have to know that a small Qi-cultivating family like theirs with only seven or eight cultivators cannot even raise enough spirit stones to buy a mid-grade robe even if they spend all their money.

On weekdays, they can only go to nearby immortal cultivation families or markets to do hard labor, dig mines, farm, or take risks to hunt monsters and explore the land of no spirits, in order to maintain the needs of their daily practice.

This also indirectly illustrates the strength of the person just now.

The world of immortal cultivation, even the area ruled by the Tianxuan Sect, is relatively peaceful and tends to focus on deep cultivation and development, but its essence is still the survival of the fittest.

Since the other party dares to wander around wearing a mid-grade robe, his strength must be good.

Leave the restaurant.

Gu Yan wandered around again and felt pretty good.

The world here is actually not as peaceful as the Lin Kingdom, where it seems to be. There are still cases of bullying of men and women.

But the aura of each cultivator he saw was quite pure, which was very different from the cultivators who practiced various sinister methods under the rule of the White Bone Sect, and the evil aura on their bodies was also much weaker.

But he didn't stay here long.

After buying a few roast suckling pigs for Balian, Gu Yan found the direction and continued to fly towards the high-level weak spirit area where Tianxuanmen was located.

a few days later.

Gu Yan's body slowed down, and he felt that the spiritual energy around him was one or two times denser than before.

His falcon eyes swept down and he was even more surprised.

From time to time, there were flashes of light in the jungle below, and occasionally you could see what was obviously a first-level monster wandering around hunting, which was very novel.

"It seems I have reached the high-level weak spirit area..."

Gu Yan thought about it, turned into a human form, took out the lotus leaf magic weapon, and flew slowly towards the front.

The further you fly inside.

The richer the spiritual energy.

Gu Yan even saw many buildings with manors in the mountains and forests. There was a flickering spiritual energy inside, which clearly showed that there was a spiritual place. There was also a market built in the mountains. Judging from the distribution of spiritual energy, it was not worse than the Juxianfang, and there was even a first-level spiritual vein underneath.

In contrast.

Lin Kingdom is just a rural place.

Seeing the market, Gu Yan fell down directly.

Some inquiries.

He then realized that there were many such mountain markets in this area, and there were even more small manors with only spiritual springs and spiritual lands, all of which were occupied by small families who practiced Qi.

This kind of territory was basically snatched from those monsters in the past.

Unfortunately, the Tianfan cultivation world is so small.

Nowadays, most of the spiritual veins in the wilderness are taken.

If a foundation-building cultivator in the Later Jin Dynasty had no support, he would either have to rely on robbing others, or he would have to join other foundation-building forces, or become a guest official of the three major Jindan forces and become a high-level thug.
The situation is even worse for the independent cultivators who have nothing. They either live in the mortal world, do hard labor in the world of immortal cultivation, or simply sell themselves.

Near the market announcement area, Gu Yan saw some notices about recruiting sons-in-law and workers.

You know what, there were quite a lot of people surrounding.

It can be seen that the cultivation atmosphere here, with more planting and breeding than looting, is more inclined towards the stable development of resource cultivation. The cultivators coming and going are also less like those under the command of the White Bone Sect, who have a sense of intrigue and suspicion where everyone is on guard against each other.

This market is too small.

After Gu Yan sold sundries worth nearly a thousand spirit stones in several shops, he immediately felt a burning spiritual consciousness sweeping over him.

He doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Just release your spiritual sense and fight back fiercely!

Two powerful spiritual consciousnesses collided in the void.

More than a dozen unlucky low-level monks who passed by fainted before they could understand what was happening.

The rest of the wandering cultivators were so frightened that they scattered in all directions, not daring to approach this area.

It was estimated that the owner of the spiritual consciousness did not expect Gu Yan to be so strong, and suffered a loss, so he quickly retreated.

Gu Yan snorted coldly and waited for the other party to come over.

moment.

A middle-aged man descended from the sky, speaking with great enthusiasm: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I am Pingshan, the owner of this Pingshan Market. This shop is also under my name. I thought you were a robber cultivator who had fled from the White Bone Sect, so I was carefully investigating."

Seeing that Gu Yan's consciousness was a mixture of several divine runes, and he found it difficult to detect the other party's cultivation level, he thought that Gu Yan was a foundation-building cultivator whose cultivation level was higher than his own, so his words were quite respectful.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person.

Since the other party has admitted defeat.

Gu Yan didn't hold on to it.

He waved his hand and said, "I want to sell some sundries and buy some Five Elements spiritual materials. I hope you can help me."

Probably because of fear.

The owner of Pingshanfang took out all the stock in the market and gave it to Gu Yan.

Unfortunately, the opponent is too small.

He didn’t even eat one-third of Gu Yan’s stock.

The total amount of spiritual materials purchased was only four or five thousand spirit stones.

Only then did Gu Yan realize the value of the spirit stones, magic weapons, elixirs and the like in his hands.

I guess the average foundation-building cultivator’s wealth is not as good as his.

The head of Pingshanfang probably saw that Gu Yan was not a good person, so he quickly recommended Taiyu Fairy City opened by Tianxuanmen to him and provided him with a map for free.

Taiyu Fairy City is located on a second-level spiritual vein. It is presided over by a Jindan Zhenren and is surrounded by seven or eight first-level spiritual vein branches. It covers a vast area and gathers more than tens of thousands of cultivators and millions of ordinary people. Even in the entire high-level weak spiritual area, it is considered the largest trading place.

It was easy to finish Gu Yan’s food.

Gu Yan became interested.

After he understood clearly, he continued to fly towards Taiyu Fairy City.

Another two days passed.

This day.

Gu Yan stopped to rest and strengthened the bubble world.

Seeing that Balian was still fast asleep, he controlled the bubble world and merged all the spiritual materials accumulated inside. The whole process was a bit slow.

It took half a day to complete the fusion.

The spiritual object that swallowed nearly four or five thousand spirit stones had originally had some illusory small bubbles, which had obviously become much more solid.

"Not bad. Thanks to the crowdfunding from fellow Taoists, my little bubble world has a promising future!"

Gu Yan smiled, took out the lotus leaf magic weapon, and continued on his way.

This place is close to the Taiyu Immortal City. Occasionally, you can see figures of people who are building their foundation passing through the sky. Continuing to transform into falcons will easily cause trouble.

Another half day passed.

Gu Yan calculated that he would be able to reach Taiyu Fairy City in the afternoon, so he sped up.

Just as he flew over a mountain.

More than ten figures suddenly flew towards him from a distance.

This was a kill.

Among them, there was one man and two women, riding on the same flying magical instrument similar to a magic disk, flying in the front.

In addition to the female cultivator who was controlling the magic disk, another man and woman were throwing talismans behind them from time to time, or controlling magic weapons to attack.

The seven people behind followed calmly.

The two monks on both sides are responsible for intercepting the talismans and magic weapons, while the remaining five people cooperate in interference.

One chasing and one escaping.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

"Wow, I've been here for so long, and I finally saw the ambush. It's really not easy."

A flash of intelligence appeared in Gu Yan's eyes. After seeing that they were all cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, he simply stopped aside, folded his arms, stood on the magic weapon, and started eating melon and watching the show.

Gu Yan saw the situation in front.

The monks in front naturally saw him as well.

The female cultivator who was controlling the magic wheel felt like she had seen a life-saving straw when she saw Gu Yan.

She immediately activated her magical powers and said anxiously, "Fellow Daoists in front, run! The ones behind us are the Seven Devils of Yinfeng Mountain. We are from the Wang family who are building the foundation of Baituo Mountain. They want to snatch the Deliverance Pill from us and will not let anyone who witnesses it go. Hurry up, fellow Daoists!!!"

The other two heard the noise, turned around, and then reacted, shouting in unison: "Daoyou, quickly go to White Camel Mountain to report the news. The Wang family will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Gu Yan:
But when he heard about Du'edan, he became interested.

There are three stages in foundation building, namely essence, energy and spirit.

This Du'e Pill is a very popular elixir when breaking through the foundation. It can protect the mind during the breakthrough, reduce the intrusion of inner demons, and avoid going astray.

The Deliverance Pill is far inferior to the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, in the Tianfan cultivation world, only the three major golden elixir forces can produce foundation-building pills.

Most cultivators who want to break through the foundation-building stage either force themselves to break through, or purchase elixirs corresponding to the three levels to increase their chances of a safe breakthrough.

Although Gu Yan was interested in the Du'er Pill, he did not say anything and continued to look like he was enjoying himself.

He only saves those who are destined to be saved.

Those three people have a great connection.

I don’t know what happened to the seven people who were chasing me.

The man who was chasing them heard the three people shouting and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

After the seven people communicated with each other through their spiritual consciousness, three of them immediately left the team and flew towards Gu Yan.

Seeing this, Gu Yan kindly advised: "I am just a passerby, everyone."

"die!"

The three men didn't give Gu Yan any chance to speak. They controlled three mid-grade magic weapons and attacked from three directions.

next moment.

Boom~
Thunder boomed.

Electric snakes are moving around.

The three cultivators in the late Qi training stage fell from the air like dead dogs, turning into charcoal.

"It seems like you and I are destined to be together!"

Gu Yan retracted his index finger.

After obtaining the divine pattern, he could summon wind and thunder, and his status immediately became different.

Cool.

He took the three mid-grade magic weapons, then flashed to the ground, skillfully searched the three people, captured their souls, and refined their bodies.

Do it all.

Gu Yan was wrapped in the power of wind and thunder, as if shrinking the earth into an inch. He took one step and covered more than a hundred feet. He flashed repeatedly and came under everyone, reaching out to grab them.

In an instant, wind and thunder surged.

Of the remaining four people who were chasing them, three of them were torn to pieces and scorched by the hurricane and lightning before they could react. They died on the spot, like grass and trees by the roadside, vulnerable to any attack.

There was only one person left, who seemed to be the leader of the group.

The opponent not only had the ninth level of Qi training, but also had a mid-grade defensive shield, and barely survived Gu Yan's attack.

His expression changed drastically: "Foundation building!"

Without hesitation, he spat out a mouthful of blood mist, which enveloped his body and turned into blood light. He instantly flew hundreds of meters away at an extremely fast speed.

He was about to escape far away.

A short spear came through the air.

The leader didn't even have time to react before his defensive weapon was forcibly knocked away, and he was turned into a bloody mist and died on the spot.

Gu Yan swept his spiritual sense.

All the spoils flew towards him.

After refining the corpses of several people, he absorbed their spirits, collected the animal skin space bag and magic tools, and scanned them with his spiritual sense. He was in a good mood and said, "These people are indeed worthy of being the famous robbery cultivators. They are all very wealthy."

Gu Yan put away the things, took back the spear, and waved to the remaining three people who were destined to meet him.

The three people who were being hunted stood on the magic plate, terrified.

The notorious Seven Devils of Yinfeng Mountain died just like that?

See Gu Yan waving at them.

The female cultivator who was controlling the magic wheel dared not continue to escape.

After transmitting a message to the two people beside her, she controlled the magic disk and landed obediently. She led the two people behind her, bowed her head, and said respectfully, "Thank you for saving my life, senior."

Gu Yan asked curiously, "Life is short, why do you still want to take shortcuts?"

The expressions of the three people changed drastically.

The leading female cultivator said in horror: "Senior, we are..."

next moment.

The three men's bodies stiffened, a blood mist burst out from behind their heads, and they slowly fell down.

Looking at the corpses of the three people who died with their eyes open.

Gu Yan smiled lightly:
"I know, you are the cultivators of the Wang family who are building the foundation of Baituo Mountain.
But even if they are relatives of the foundation-building cultivator, it is wrong to shift the blame.

Well, forget it for this life.

I won't argue with you anymore.

Be more careful in your next life."

It captured the souls of several people.

He finally reacted and patted his head.

Almost forgot.

These people no longer have an afterlife.

Whoops!
These three people are much poorer.

but
Gu Yan looked at the pill in his hand, smelled it, and felt happy, a bit like the feeling when he was asleep.

"Yes, I heard that the production of this Deliverance Pill is very small. Although I don't need it, it would be very useful to exchange it for something else."

He was even happier after getting a Deliverance Pill for free.

After cleaning up the scene, Gu Yan continued on his way.

This time, there were no more accidents and we arrived at Taiyu Fairy City safely.
