"I haven't met such a bold young man in many years. He actually dared to take action in the market. He didn't take me seriously at all."

The cranes riding the wind remain the same as before.

Also likes to be in the spotlight.

His cultivation was still at the foundation building stage, and he had only broken through to the late stage, so he was still a long way from condensing a demon pill. However, demons had a long lifespan, and even a human cultivator who had formed a pill might not be able to outlive him.

“Crane!!”

The little boy looked at the majestic crane riding the wind with excitement. Only this kind of fairy bird was worthy of his yearning for the world of immortal cultivation.

The praised crane Chengfeng was even more proud.

Showing off his power in public was his biggest hobby. When the Shenhu Immortal Sect was still around, his favorite thing to do was to stand at the foot of the Wudao Peak and watch the new disciples showing their shocked expressions. Now that the Shenhu Immortal Sect was gone, he had no place to display his hobby. The independent cultivators in the market were all timid, and no one dared to come here to cause trouble.

"Grandmaster, why are you here again? There are still many things to deal with on the mountain."

A figure quickly flew down from the inside of the market town. The person who came was Du Qiuxian, the descendant of the eldest brother Du De, who left Shenhu Xianmen with Xianhe Chengfeng.

"What Grand Master Uncle? How many times have I told you to call me Grand Master Uncle?"

Hearing Du Qiuxian's address, Xianhe Chengfeng showed a dissatisfied expression. He had lived a long life, but if this kid continued to call him that, in another hundred years, wouldn't he become the grandmaster's uncle? By then, there would be a long list of addresses, and how could he show off his saintliness in front of others?

"You are Uncle Chen's elder, how can I mess up the generations?" Du Qiuxian looked stubborn.

He had argued with Xianhe Chengfeng about this issue many times, and he was criticized every time. But he had no choice, because the other party was his elder, and he could not refute. It was not okay to completely follow the other party's wishes. According to Xianhe Chengfeng's calculations, wouldn't he become Uncle Chen's junior apprentice and his father's younger brother?

"Don't talk about seniority with me. It makes me feel dizzy."

Xianhe Chengfeng looked impatient. Du Qiuxian's rigid personality often made him angry, but he just liked this kid's temper. In Du Qiuxian, he saw a shadow of his old friend, the master of Wudao Peak who brought him into Shenhu Xianmen.

"This kid is good, he is a good candidate for cultivating immortality, let's take him up the mountain."

Without dwelling on this issue any further, Xianhe Chengfeng signaled the little boy next to him and asked Du Qiuxian to take him to Gumo Mountain.

"this"

Du Qiuxian was a little hesitant. He glanced at the two foundation-building immortal cultivators who were suppressed by Xianhe Chengfeng and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

He was just a junior in the late stage of Qi Refining, and he had been practicing for only fifty years. It took him more than fifty years to reach the late stage of Qi Refining, which was considered a genius in the Tiannan Region. But in front of the foundation building cultivator, he, a junior in the Qi Refining stage, didn't even have the confidence to speak loudly. If Xianhe Chengfeng hadn't been here, he would have been trampled into the ground by the two foundation building cultivators on the ground.

"That's it! I get upset just by seeing you."

Xianhe Chengfeng was too lazy to talk to him, and he flapped his wings and flew away from the market town, taking away with him two Foundation Establishment Monks who were causing trouble.

The biggest reason why the Gumo Mountain Market can be so stable today is the rules.

Anyone who breaks the rules here will be punished, ranging from a fine to death.

"Come with me."

Watching the crane Chengfeng leaving, Du Qiuxian could only go up the mountain with the little boy beside him.

Whether or not you can be accepted into the mountain sect depends on the decision of Senior Sister Mu.

Cloud.

Chen Luo and the flower-backed turtle stood above the clouds, looking down at the market below like immortals.

With their current state of mind, it was impossible for the crowd below to discover them.

"Your old friend?"

The flower-backed turtle looked at Chen Luo and asked. With the previous experience, he is now very calm and will not be like before, calculating everything before encountering it.

Chen Luo didn't explain and controlled his body to fly towards Gumo Mountain.

He had already sensed several familiar auras; registered disciple Ding Zhao and eldest disciple Mu Xiaoyu were both here.

"A bunch of juniors in the Qi Refining Foundation Establishment stage, what's there to see? Even if you have some relationship with their ancestors, it has faded over the years. These juniors will have no other emotions except fear when they see you. Even if they do, it's to get benefits from you."

The flower-backed turtle looks very happy.

He has lived for more than two thousand years and has experienced many things.

In his opinion, Chen Luo was a great cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and he had practiced for at least two thousand years. These juniors below could not possibly be related to him.

The life span of a Qi-refining cultivator is only 150 years, and that is without any accidents. In fact, most Qi-refining cultivators do not live to this age. The life span of a foundation-building cultivator is only 500 years, and the difference between this life span and that of a Nascent Soul cultivator like them is so great that the other party will die in a single retreat.

The Flower-backed Tortoise also experienced similar things when he was young. He watched his old friend's son and grandson grow up and then grow old.

Later, I saw my great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Later, they became complete strangers. When he returned to his hometown, he saw the changes in the world and the strange and respectful faces. His old friends remained in his memory forever.

Flying into the mountains, Chen Luo saw the familiar buildings again.

The layout of the houses on the mountain was still the same as it was back then. When he and Madam Bai Gu inherited Gu Mo Mountain from Brother Han Jiu, the layout was like this. On the left was the house where Chen Luo practiced, and on the right was where Madam Bai Gu practiced. Later, Madam Bai Gu left, and this place became Chen Luo's own dojo.

After he left, this place was managed by his registered disciple Ding Zhao.

This former senior brother of Shenhu Xianmen completely surrendered to Chen Luo and strictly followed the rules set by Chen Luo. Not even the grass or the road was allowed to change, so as to ensure that Chen Luo would not feel strange when he returned.

After the rise of Lingchi, Mu Xiaoyu brought Ao Ye here, and everyone else went their separate ways.

Unlike other high-level spiritual veins, Gumo Mountain is only a place for foundation-building cultivators. In the eyes of a strong person like Fairy Lingchi, it is not worth paying attention to at all. Mu Xiaoyu took advantage of this mentality and took his junior brother Ao Ye back here. With the two of them, the development of Gumo Mountain has been quite stable over the years.

However, big things have big troubles, and small things have small difficulties.

Just because Fairy Lingchi looks down on Gumo Mountain doesn’t mean that her disciples and collateral relatives look down on it.

Interests move people's hearts.

In recent years, more and more people have been eyeing Gumo Mountain. A few years ago, a disciple of a Lingchi Yuanying elder came to the door and claimed that he would increase taxes on Gumo Mountain. In order to deal with this person, Mu Xiaoyu also agreed to his request. Unexpectedly, this person had a big appetite and kept asking for money again and again. Until recently, this person actually gave Mu Xiaoyu a betrothal gift, saying that he fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to become a Taoist couple with her.

Such a straightforward calculation, anyone who is not a fool can see it. But they have no other choice. Without a Nascent Soul cultivator, they can only suppress their anger. Qionghua Sect can hardly protect itself, so it is impossible for them to provide assistance.

Mu Xiaoyu and Ao Ye have been looking for a way out of the impasse.

Without the support of their master, they had to solve many problems on their own. After experiencing the changes in the Qionghua Sect, their feelings became more profound.

What makes cultivation difficult is not only the aptitude, but also the path.

"What's going on?"

Hearing the voice, Mu Xiaoyu frowned slightly. She had been handling all the affairs of Gumo Mountain for these years, and she hadn't laughed for a long time under the pressure. The same was true for Ao Ye, the disciple that Chen Luo had casually accepted in the Water Palace, who was now able to take charge of his own affairs.

"These two guys were making trouble downstairs, and I caught them."

With two muffled thuds, the fairy crane returned riding the wind, and the two foundation-building monks who were subdued by him were thrown to the ground like dead dogs.

"make trouble?"

Ao Ye put down the jade slip in his hand and walked over.

"Could it be Xue Erlangzi's men?"

Ao Ye glanced at the two and asked. The main trouble they were facing now was the second-generation ancestor of Lingchi. It was easy to deal with him alone. Ao Ye had at least ten ways to make him disappear. The trouble was the Nascent Soul ancestor behind him. The cultivators who were related to the Qionghua Sect were most afraid of getting in trouble with this group of people.

"It shouldn't be. Their aura is not from here, and there is less evil energy on them." Xianhe Chengfeng's expression became much more serious.

It is these few people who have been supporting Gumo Mountain over the years.

Among them, Mu Xiaoyu had the highest cultivation level and was the "Acting Mountain Master", with Chengfeng and Ao Ye as his assistants. The members of the Xiuxian family who were originally responsible for managing Gumo Mountain were assigned to the market to manage more detailed matters.

"breath?"

Ao Ye reacted instantly.

The characteristic of the evil cultivation place is its aura.

As long as he is a cultivator from the evil land, no matter how he hides, there will be an evil energy mixed in his spiritual power. This evil energy is very weak and ordinary cultivators may not be able to detect it, but Xianhe Chengfeng can just sense this energy.

"Who sent you?"

Mu Xiaoyu glanced at the two of them with cold eyes, and the pressure of a Jindan cultivator spread out, making the two people on the ground quiet down all of a sudden.

Jindan cultivator!

Mu Xiaoyu was very talented, which Chen Luo knew when he accepted her as a disciple. But even a genius with extraordinary talent could not advance to the Jindan level so quickly. Mu Xiaoyu was able to break the rules, thanks to the transformation of the Yuanying of the Shiying Sect.

In the battle with Qionghua Sect, Mu Xiaoyu was transformed into a shadow puppet. Under normal circumstances, people who were transformed into shadow puppets would die, but Mu Xiaoyu had the master Wuwei Zhenren.

With the help of Wuwei Zhenren, she escaped certain death and turned a disaster into a blessing by breaking through to the Jindan realm.

Wuwei Zhenren poured the power of the Shadow Eater Sect back into her body. This process was the same as Wuwei Zhenren devouring the 'Heart Demon Ancestor', which was a transition of power. In the long run, there are great hidden dangers, but in the short term, it can quickly improve a person's strength. (End of this chapter)
