Although he had already entered the Nascent Soul Stage, he had only been practicing in seclusion as an ordinary person. This was his first time traveling outside. When he heard about the dead, he was instinctively a little scared.
"Is there a powerful beast lurking in Yushan, or are there cultivators robbing here?" Luo Yi asked in panic.
Yi Ming was speechless. "Those who died were all Qi Refining cultivators. The most powerful one was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. What are you afraid of?"
"Well...what if the murderer was a Jindan ancestor, but the more powerful cultivators didn't have time to die yet?" Luo Yi asked quietly.
God damn, I haven’t had time to die yet!
If the Jindan Patriarch really appeared so easily, Tianwu Continent would be full of Condensation Stage cultivators, so where would the survival space for Qi Refining Stage cultivators be? "Don't worry, even if it's the Jindan Patriarch, I can take you away." Yi Ming said, "You are so cowardly, and you still want to travel abroad?"
Luo Yi blinked, "I just want to go abroad to see the customs and practices of other parts of the continent. I didn't say I want to fight with monks or ferocious beasts!"
Yi Ming nodded, "There is no trace of cultivators in the town. It seems that the news of someone's disappearance has spread."
The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!
As expected of their scholarly backgrounds, their understandings of traveling are completely different.
"So the two of us came here today to find out the reasons for the disappearance or death of those monks?" Luo Yi asked.
…
It’s nothing more than that their ancestors have lived here for generations, have fields and houses, and have become accustomed to life in Yushan Town.
…
Luo Yi calmed himself down, steadying himself, and then was the first to step into the town.
"Although Yushan is a remote place for ordinary people, it is not unknown among the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. Many cultivators who practice water-based techniques will come here to watch the rain." Yi Ming said.
"Of course it starts from this town." Yi Ming pointed to the small town shrouded in mist and rain, "Maybe the life-threatening danger is hidden in this town?"
The lush vegetation, the swimming snakes and insects, everything in the Rain Mountain fell into the two people's sea of consciousness, but they were all ordinary things and did not look like they could pose a threat to the cultivators.
The old man nodded. "Of course there are, but they are not like you. They don't interact with people in the town. They just stay in the town for one night occasionally, and then go into the mountains."
The two entered Yushan Town and saw that the people in the town were all in a leisurely manner. Some were working, some were carrying loads, some were opening shops, and some were walking on the streets, as if they had already gotten used to living in the rain.
Probably because Luo Yi had a good image, the people he stopped were very kind and answered his questions one by one.
"Is there anyone practicing cultivation in this town?" Luo Yi grabbed an old man who looked quite old.
“So if there is a top-grade yellow spiritual plant here, it should have been discovered long ago.” Luo Yi said immediately.
So Luo Yi continued to ask, "Has anyone from outside come to Yushan Town recently?"
Hearing Yi Ming's question, Luo Yi couldn't help but look up at the top of the mountain, and then the two of them walked towards the top of the mountain step by step.
Luo Yi was curious, so he stopped a few passers-by who didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask about the situation.
"Think about it, if there are cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage coming to watch the rain, where will they go?" Yi Ming asked.
Luo Yi turned around and looked at Yi Ming. Yi Ming shook his head and motioned Luo Yi to continue asking.
"It seems there is no danger?"
However, before the two reached the top of the mountain, they were blocked by a cliff.
The old man looked at Luo Yi with his cloudy eyes, "Outsiders, aren't you outsiders?"
"Should we go up?" Luo Yi shrank his neck and asked, "How about we go to those more famous secret places?"
Yi Ming, "..."
The drizzle continued. Luo Yi and Yi Ming used their true energy to protect their bodies, so they were not affected by the rain. The mist drifting in the mountains could not block their spiritual consciousness.
It turns out that this old man didn’t know that those people were monks?
"Top-grade yellow-level Jiao Ling Flower?" Luo Yi had obviously also done some homework in the world of cultivation.
Luo Yi walked through this small town, and scanned it with his spiritual sense. He found no trace of cultivators. He and Yi Ming passed through the town safely. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to Yi Ming, "It seems that the danger is in the mountains."
Then Luo Yi used his spiritual sense to carefully investigate again, "No ferocious beast guarding it?"
Yi Ming looked at Luo Yi with a smile.
Luo Yi turned his head and looked at the Rain Mountain that was looming in the mist and rain. It felt like a giant beast reaching into the sky.
Luo Yi was a little stunned, "Uh, I mean, other outsiders..."
Yi Ming nodded, "That's right."
Yi Ming nodded. "This is your first time stepping into the world of cultivation. I have to show you around so that you don't get into trouble when you act alone."
However, they were from two different worlds, so they were not surprised. They just provided some information or food, and that was it. As for those people who disappeared in Yushan, they naturally didn't know. At least ordinary people in their town had never disappeared after entering the mountain.
Of course, there are also people who go out and never come back. After all, they are used to staying outside and they are not used to returning to Yushan Town.
“…”
Luo Yi swallowed and thought of the girl who was killed by his sister with a sword when he and Yi Ming met for the first time.
Of course, as cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, a cliff could not stop them. The reason they stopped was because they saw a spiritual plant on the cliff.
Luo Yi let the old man leave, and then asked the townspeople, only to find out that some people still knew that those people were monks.
"No, it rains here all year round, so it's difficult for ordinary people like us to go out. Those young men who have some martial arts skills have all gone out to make a living." The old man shook his head and replied.
So he could only look at Yi Ming innocently.
Seeing Yi Ming's expression, Luo Yi couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to investigate again, but still found no clues.
"I see." Luo Yi nodded, "Then where do we start?"
Yi Ming raised his eyebrows, "Yushan just has a little more rain, but it's not enough to reach the secret realm. Are you really sure you want to go to the secret realm and fight a mysterious beast directly?"
Looking at the spiritual plant, Luo Yi used his spiritual sense to investigate again and finally found a flaw, "Was this spiritual plant transplanted here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-red sword light shot out from a cave next to the spiritual plant that was covered with vines and could not be seen, and pierced Yi Ming.
Yi Ming stretched out his finger and accurately touched the flying sword, sending it flying.
"He is a cultivator in the early stage of Condensation. He should be practicing some kind of evil technique that absorbs essence and blood. He is fishing here." Yi Ming said casually, and then turned to Luo Yi, "He is injured, just in time to be your first opponent."
