Chapter 727: Digging Graves and Settling Down

Qingyan City is in chaos.

The 'fake spirit stone' attracted more people than Chen Luo and his companions had expected. The day after they left, four figures dropped from the sky and landed in the residence of the Lord of Qingyan City.

"Luckily I'm already dead."

Zi Tianji and Chen Luo stood on the hill outside Qingyan City, watching the noise coming from the city and spoke with glee.

The Blood Curse has done such a great favor that it is natural to repay it.

When he was being chased in the market, he pretended to be "seriously injured" by an unknown person, fell from the sky, hit his head on a rock, and "died" on the spot. Although this way of death was a bit sloppy, this kind of thing itself is not important.

As long as there is a reason, no one will care whether it is true or not.

“Dead?!”

The man in white looked at the corpse in the house with an ugly face.

Since yesterday, the situation has been out of control. They didn't even know where the enemy was, and they were inexplicably plotted against. Now a group of sharks who smelled the fishy smell surrounded them and asked them to share the method of refining the "fake spirit stone", which put them in a passive position all of a sudden.

"A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator fell from the sky and died. Do you believe it?! You want me to use this excuse to deal with those people outside?"

"If you don't believe me, let them come to me!"

The Qingyan City Lord had a gloomy expression on his face.

He had confirmed several times that the blood curse planted on Zi Tianji was indeed shattered, and the shattered location was also where Zi Tianji fell.

He suspected that someone took advantage of the chaos to kill Zi Tianji, and the person who did it was at least a Transformed God, or even a Return to Void Venerable. These people wanted to use this incident as an excuse to encroach on the interests of Qingyan Market, and this kind of thing had happened many times in the past.

"The 'fake spirit stone' incident may have been a conspiracy from the beginning, a plot against our Bluestone City."

The Lord of Qingyan City has already locked on several suspects in his mind. Qingyan Market has occupied such a large piece of profit, and there are many people who are secretly jealous. There are some old guys in the Ancient Sword Sect who want to get more, and those who secretly support him also want him to increase his share.

Everyone feels that they get less.

Sitting in the position of Lord of Qingyan City, he felt like a puppet who could be killed at any time by the person behind the scenes.

'In the final analysis, it's still because of my lack of strength. If I had the strength to reach the Return to Void Realm, I could dominate the area like the Lord of the Five Elements City, without having to look at anyone's eyes.'

The eyes of the Qingyan City Lord gradually turned cold, and his right hand was placed on the bronze mirror again.

Maybe it's time to give it a try.

With the self-detonation of the "Ancient Sword Sect disciple" and the "death" of the deputy city lord who discovered the problem, everyone's attention will be shifted to the Qingyan City Lord. Some people think that the Qingyan City Lord took the initiative and wanted to monopolize the refining method of this "fake spirit stone".

The Lord of Qingyan City denied this several times, but unfortunately no one believed him.

"Let's go."

Chen Luo retracted his gaze, turned around and flew away. There were too many troubles in Qingyanfang City, and the contradictions in the dark had reached the crater. If he continued to stay here, he would definitely be dragged into it. At this dangerous moment, he naturally had to protect himself and avoid the sharp edge.

As for the push I made before leaving.

That was done by the Ancient Sword Sect! What does it have to do with him?

“It’s a pity that the spiritual vein quality of Qingyanfang City is too low, otherwise this place would also be a good place for cultivation.” Zi Tianji said with emotion.

Then the figure turned into light and flew away after Chen Luo.

A few days later.

Southwest, wilderness.

Two figures were moving around in the center of the ruins, surrounded by dug pits and some scattered sarcophagi.

“Why are these graves being dug?”

Zi Tianji was a little puzzled. After he and Chen Luo left Qingyan City, the head master took him directly to the cemetery and started tomb robbing.

He has been digging so much these days that he is starting to doubt his life.

He remembered that before he joined Chen Luo, the life of cultivating immortals was not like this, and he didn't know how he went astray.

"When arriving at a place, the most important thing is to pay respect to our ancestors. Only with the permission of our ancestors can we practice peacefully on this land."

Chen Luo raised his hand to close the coffin lid, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

There's nothing good about it.

They were all Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment level brains, not even one in the Dan Jie level. It was useless to collect them, so he simply picked up two, familiarized himself with the situation here, and buried them back.

"Paying respect to the elders?"

Zi Tianji subconsciously looked back at the densely packed pits and the skulls rolling on the ground behind him, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

“Still digging?”

"No more digging, let's go to Five Elements City."

After flying out of the tomb, Chen Luo flew towards the Five Elements City without looking back.

Seeing this, Zi Tianji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and followed Chen Luofei away.

As long as they don't dig up graves, everything is fine.

The Five Elements City is very big.

Occupies an entire spiritual vein.

After entering the checkpoint of the Extreme Western Mountains, all the areas to the west of the mountains are under the jurisdiction of the Five Elements City. The Five Elements Patriarch is the most prestigious Dharma cultivator in the southwest. Whether in terms of cultivation or reputation, he has reached the end of the casual cultivators. Above him are the Taoist sects such as the Ancient Sword Sect.

The disciples of the Five Elements Patriarch are spread all over the southwest, and the people he has taught are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.

There are thousands of sects, large and small, in the entire southwest region, and almost every sect is related to the Five Elements City. Even those from the Ancient Sword Sect have to give face to the Five Elements Ancestor in the southwest.

After leaving the cemetery, Chen Luo and Zi Tianji did not take a detour. They flew straight to the Five Elements City and found the person in charge of selling the caves there.

"The other places have all been sold out, and the remaining ones have also been reserved. However, both of you seniors are Yuanying cultivators, and you have the right to jump the queue."

The disciple who was selling the cave residence enthusiastically introduced the spiritual place in Five Elements City to the two of them.

“I have to queue up to buy this crappy place?”

Zi Tianji couldn't help himself. He didn't expect that the Five Elements City was so big. In the entire southwest region, there were no less than 100,000 cultivators from the Qi Refining Realm to the Return to Void Realm. Although 99% of them were Qi Refining cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Realm, it did not hinder his influence.

This can no longer be considered a single force, but a smaller world of cultivation.

"Although the location is a little off, we can hang the sign of our Five Elements City. In the southwest cultivation world, who doesn't know the name of our Five Elements City? As long as we hang the seal of the Five Elements City, the robbery cultivators will not dare to come here to cause trouble."

The disciple who introduced the cave had a proud look on his face.

That kind of pride comes from the heart, and all the immortal cultivators in the entire southwest are like this. In this land, the name of the Five Elements Patriarch is more famous than that of the Ancient Sword Sect.

"Here it is."

Chen Luo casually chose a secluded place on the star map.

The purpose of coming here this time is to touch the spiritual vein, contact the Five Elements Ancestor, and understand the characteristics of returning to the void in this era. Other unimportant things can be put aside for later.

"Senior, you have a keen eye. This place is called Luochao Valley. It is full of spiritual energy, has an elegant environment, and has a beautiful view of the lake. It is a treasure land that all spiritual cultivators love."

Seeing the place chosen by Chen Luo, the sales disciple's expression became more eager, and he introduced it more enthusiastically.

If he completes this order, he can collect a commission of 2,000 spirit stones from the city, which is much faster than completing daily tasks.

Chen Luo was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and directly handed over the spirit stone.

The strength of the Nascent Soul is out there, so he is not afraid of this kid cheating him of spirit stones. This is the benefit of the world of immortal cultivation, strength is the foundation.

Hand over the spirit stones and obtain the spirit tablet.

The whole process only took half a day, and Chen Luo spent ten more spirit stones for it.

The disciple who was selling the cave completed all these tedious procedures by himself, saving them a lot of time. That night, the two flew away from the Five Elements City and headed towards the Falling Tide Valley.

"Is this the treasure land with beautiful lake views and abundant spiritual energy?"

Falling from the sky, Zi Tianji looked at the barren bay in front of him with a face full of shock. If it weren't for the token in his hand responding, he would have thought he had gone to the wrong place. One million spirit stones to buy such a place, how shady is this Five Elements City? No wonder the Five Elements Patriarch was able to break through to the Return to Void stage. With this ability to earn spirit stones, he has a chance to break through to the He Dao stage.

"The immortal cultivators of this era are so black-hearted!"

"The spiritual energy is pretty good, not too bad."

Chen Luo found the mark of the Five Elements City near the mountain wall. With this mark, cultivators from other places would not dare to come and harass him, which was also a disguised way of buying the protection of the Five Elements Patriarch.

"It's a pity that the spiritual power is insufficient, only enough for one person to practice. Go find someone, and come back and tell me if you have any clues."

With his palm placed on the ground, sensing the spiritual power seeping up from below, Chen Luo turned around and gave instructions to Zi Tianji.

"Master, rest assured. I will find the location of this old fellow in three months at most."

Zi Tianji nodded in agreement.

His current practice has reached its limit. Before he finds the problem of this era, no matter how much spiritual energy he absorbs, he will not be able to break through the realm. It would be better for him to spend more time looking for the ancestor of the Five Elements.

If you go directly to the door, you will definitely meet the opponent's disciples. If you arouse the Five Elements Patriarch's vigilance, it will not be so easy to catch him later.

Determine the goal and make the final decision.

This is the plan Chen Luo made for Zi Tianji.

He believed in this without a doubt and regarded it as a golden rule. Since he followed Chen Luo, his sword style has changed. Now his sword style is becoming more and more insidious. If he can sneak attack, he will never fight head-on. If he can poison, he will never show up. The style of sword cultivators who can decide life and death with one sword has completely become a thing of the past for him.

After seeing Zi Tianji off, Chen Luo flew around the bay.

The location of the spiritual vein branch is in the area near the sea on the mountain side. There is a small town of mortals here. According to the requirements of purchasing a cave, all mortals in the city are gifts, and their lives belong to the cultivators. Even if they are used to sacrifice the soul flag, no one will ask.

Chen Luo didn't ask about it. His soul flag was filled with high-quality evil souls. He really looked down on the souls of ordinary people.

After searching for a while, Chen Luo found the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on the left cliff.

'Stone Spirit.'

He placed his palm on it, and a pale white light merged into the ground.
