Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

"Since it has been sold, no refunds will be given." Luo Shan put away the spirit stone bag in front of several people and looked at Qin Yi:

"These two thousand spirit stones are more than the price of the fat-eared rabbit. They also include my labor costs. If you are not satisfied, you can try to see if these two thousand spirit stones are expensive."

After saying that, the pressure of the middle stage of foundation building was released. Qin Yi was the only one here who was in the early stage of foundation building. Feeling the pressure of Luo San, his pupils shrank and he stopped talking.

On the other side, Zhou Yuxuan, who was gnawing on rabbit meat, did not feel the pressure from Luo San. After all, she was a paying customer and could enjoy some special treatment.

"Big Brother, I only found this. Can Little Sister eat it?"

The sound outside the hall was getting closer and closer, and soon a male cultivator from Luoxia Sect walked in holding an emerald green snake in his hand.

"I don't want to eat it!" Zhou Yuxuan was so scared when she saw what the other person was holding that she took several steps back holding her roasted rabbit.

"Hey, junior sister, where did you get this rabbit meat?" The visitor asked in surprise when he saw the barbecue in Zhou Yuxuan's hand.

"I bought it with two thousand spirit stones." Seeing Qin Yi didn't say anything, another cultivator spoke awkwardly and moved his eyes towards Luo San.

"So..." Before he could even finish his sentence, Qin Yi interrupted him with a cold face:

"Junior brother, let's rest here for one night today, and we will set off as soon as the sky gets light."

"it is good."

Luo Shan glanced at the few people, then closed his eyes and meditated.

It was not until dawn that Luo Shan slowly opened her eyes. She first glanced at the few people who were also meditating with their eyes closed in the opposite corner, then stood up and walked out of the hall.

This movement instantly alerted the five people on the opposite side and opened their eyes. They looked outside the hall and only vaguely saw a white figure disappearing.

After scanning with his spiritual sense and confirming that the other party had left, Qin Yi's face instantly turned gloomy.

This would have been a humiliation for him if the other party was a Jindan Zhenren, but now he was only one level higher than him, and yet he used his coercion to suppress him.

He flipped his hand and a photo stone lay quietly in his palm. He took a photo of the appearance of the female cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. After finding out the other party's identity, he would take action slowly.

"Brother, who is that female cultivator?"

Previously, due to Luo San's cultivation level, the few of them couldn't even communicate with each other through their spiritual consciousness. Now that he left, they naturally began to inquire about the other party's origins.

"I don't know. She and we just met by chance. We still have a mission to accomplish. We don't need to care about her background." Qin Yi said seriously to his junior brother.

"So are we leaving now or should we wait a while?"

"Take a rest for a while."

Luo Shan didn't know that his previous behavior in the ruined temple had offended the eldest senior brother of Luoxia Sect. He left the temple and headed towards Xi Village again.

After traveling for about half a month, Luo Shan compared the map and found himself in a place called Shiyan Town.

After asking people in the town and confirming the location of Xi Village, Luo Shan headed towards his destination.

Xi Village is just as its name suggests, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a stream running through the foot of the middle mountain. About a hundred houses are built along the stream.

Before entering the village, Luo Shan sensed something was wrong. It should have been the time when smoke from cooking fires was rising, but the whole village seemed deserted and extremely desolate.

The spiritual energy here is thin. If there are any monsters, they can only be low-level Qi Refining Level 1 or 2 monsters. With such cultivation level, even dozens of strong men can capture them. Why does Luoxia need to send out Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even five of them came.

I sent out my spiritual sense to investigate the village first. Apart from the fact that every household had their doors closed, there was nothing strange.

Luo Shan thought for a moment, then took out a shield amulet and stuck it on his body before heading into the village.

He went straight ahead, passing by several houses with closed doors without stopping, until he stood in front of a mansion with a white lantern hanging at the door, then he stopped.

Luo Shan knocked on the door with his spiritual power and waited for a long time but no one came to open the door. If anyone had noticed that there were cultivators in this mansion, Luo Shan would not have rushed up.

The words "Zhu Mansion" are written on the vermilion gate. This mansion is considered to be the most imposing one in the village.

The divine sense detected that there were many Qi Refining cultivators inside, and the highest level of cultivation was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Spiritual power hit the door knocker, making a "bang bang" sound. Luo Shan waited for a long time before the door was opened a crack, revealing a frightened eye, looking outside vigilantly.

"you are?"

After seeing that the person standing outside was a girl who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, an old man who was hunched over behind the door tremblingly pulled the door inwards.

"I am a casual cultivator. I happened to pass by here and saw something unusual in the village, so I came to visit." Luo Shan bowed politely.

The old man inside became less alert, but still did not open the door. Instead, he lowered his voice and replied:

"Please wait a moment, let me report back to the master."

After saying this, he closed the door and quickened his pace towards the hall of the mansion.

At this moment, in the hall of Zhu Mansion, a middle-aged man in black clothes with golden cloud patterns was sitting in the main seat with a gloomy look on his face. A male cultivator who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining and looked three-quarters similar to the man could not hold back his anger and spoke first:

"Brother, when did you say someone from Luoxia Sect would come? It's been two months. If no one comes, what will we do?"

The man in the main seat sighed:

"Lifeng, how many days do you think we can hold out? If the Luoxia Sect's disciples haven't arrived by tomorrow, you can lead some of the tribesmen to leave Xi Village."

"Brother, aren't you leaving? I'm worried about you staying here alone." Zhu Lifeng frowned.

"Except for our Zhu family, everyone here is a mortal. If I leave, what will happen to the villagers in Xi Village?"

“Brother, you also said that they are all mortals, how can they be compared with your life.”

As Zhu Lifeng was speaking, he heard footsteps outside the door. He subconsciously shut his mouth, but his eyes revealed worry.

"Master, there is a monk outside the door who wants to visit." The old man bent down and told the master of the Zhu family about the Luo umbrella.

"Cultivator?" The two brothers of the Zhu family looked at each other, and then the head of the Zhu family said, "Let her in."

"Yes, master." After hearing what was said, the old man immediately turned around and left respectfully.

"Brother, could this be the cultivator sent by Luo Xia?" Zhu Lifeng guessed.

"We don't know yet. We'll know when she comes in and ask." The two waited for a while and saw a beautiful female cultivator coming slowly. They were shocked when they realized that they couldn't see through the cultivation level of this female cultivator.

Guessing that the other person might be a senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Senior, your visit to our Zhu Mansion is an honor to our family." The Zhu family's patriarch bowed and glanced at Luo Shan cautiously. Seeing that the other party had a calm expression, he guessed his background in his heart.

"I happened to pass by here and saw something unusual in the village. What happened?" This sentence made the two Zhu brothers confirm that Luo Shan was not a sect cultivator of Luoxia Sect. After feeling a little disappointed, they still replied sincerely:

"Something has indeed happened in Xi Village in the past two months, but we have not yet found out the exact cause."
