The violent fluctuation of spiritual energy made everyone panic. The middle section of the Yunzhong Mountains was mainly composed of casual cultivators who practiced Qi and built foundations. There might be some golden elixirs, but they were not in everyone's circle, so no one knew about it.
"How about going out to take a look?"
"This..."
"I think so too. We should go out and take a look instead of sitting and waiting for death."
"No, no, if it's a fight between golden elixirs, what if we go out and get affected?"
"I think it's safer to stay at Fellow Daoist Sun's house."
More than a dozen people had two opinions. Some wanted to go and take a look. Maybe it was an opportunity. Even if it was a fight between golden elixirs, both sides might suffer losses. But more people thought about not causing trouble and just staying quietly.
"Daoyou Sun, how is your defensive formation?"
"It's OK. The outermost layer is a second-order inferior Three Talents Fish Scale Formation. The core is a third-order Eight-Gate Golden Armor Formation, and there is also a third-order Five Elements Shocking Killing Formation. However, the spiritual energy here is too thin. To activate the third-order formation, I must use spiritual stones to help."
Sun Man said. His formation is very advanced, but the spiritual energy is not enough, because he planted a large number of high-level spiritual medicines around the cave, and a small half of the spiritual energy poured into the spiritual medicine garden.
"Daoyou Sun is wealthy, I admire you."
This was not what Lin Jiang said, but he also meant that the alchemist was really rich, worthy of being the first of the four arts of cultivation.
The cost of a third-level formation is tens of thousands of spirit stones. It depends on the specific needs. Sun Man's core area is also five or six hundred acres in size. According to Lin Jiang's understanding of the formation market, this set of third-level eight-door golden armor formation costs no less than 80,000 spirit stones. In addition to other formations, Sun Man invested more than 130,000 spirit stones in safety alone.
This financial strength is enough to make Lin Jiang and his friends envious. Lin Jiang's family does not have a third-level formation now. Of course, the main problem of Lin Jiang's side is that the spiritual vein level is low, and the third-level formation is useless. It can't be used at all.
"Don't make fun of me, fellow Taoists. In the Yunzhong Mountains, there are always a few foundation builders who die every year. Everyone knows that we alchemists are rich and are targeting us. We are reluctant to invest. I am afraid that we will be making wedding clothes for others when the time comes."
Sun Man smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was also distressed to invest so much money, but there was nothing he could do. Among the casual cultivators, alchemists are the richest. Everyone knows that they are fat sheep. I don't know how many bandits are watching them. If they don't raise their own security level, then they will be others.
"Others store food while I store guns. Others are my granaries. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. In the eyes of others, talisman painters are also rich people."
Lin Jiang nodded secretly. There are many poor and arrogant people in the world of cultivating immortals. They don't have any skills to make a living, but barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. They make a living by killing people and stealing treasures. In their eyes, talisman painters are also rich people.
"Daoyou Sun, since your family has a third-level formation, why not open it? Let's take off and see what's going on. If there is really danger, we must make plans early."
"Well, to open the third-level formation, a lot of spirit stones are needed. I'm afraid you will need some support from fellow Taoists."
Sun Man looked embarrassed. The third-level formation is not trivial. In theory, it can block the attack of the Jindan period. If it is opened, the consumption will be large. He doesn't want to be the scapegoat. Anyway, everyone is taking refuge. How can he be the only one to pay for this spirit stone?
Lin Jiang and others' faces suddenly darkened. Sun Man, this bastard, is too dark. He came to your house to hold an exchange meeting, but he was unwilling to pay even this little money.
But this was not the time to be fussy. After discussing for a while, everyone contributed 500 spirit stones each, and gathered 7,000 spirit stones for Sun Man. Sun Man took the spirit stones and immediately activated the third-level formation.
With the third-level formation as a protection, everyone felt much more at ease. Even if the golden elixir attacked directly, it could resist for a while, so they took off with peace of mind.
When they reached a height of 100 meters, everyone cast spells to look around. Some people specially practiced eye skills, so they could see clearly within dozens of miles. Lin Jiang did not practice eye skills, but his eyes were blessed by spiritual energy, so it was not a problem to see within three or four miles.
"There, I saw him."
"He's from the Giant Wave Fishing Gang."
"Do you know him, fellow Daoist?" "I
've seen him a few times, he's definitely the leader of the Giant Wave Fishing Gang."
"It's indeed Liu Jian, I've seen him a few times, and the one fighting alongside him is Shen Bo, the great elder of the Giant Wave Fishing Gang, but I don't know who the man in black is."
Everyone immediately started discussing. Sun Man and the others were veteran foundation builders, over a hundred years old, and were familiar faces in the Yunzhong City area. They recognized two of them as the leader of the Giant Wave Fishing Gang, Liu Jian, and the great elder Shen Bo.
Lin Jiang recognized the man in black. Wasn't that the man in black who was seen killing the members of the Giant Wave Fishing Gang in the Yuntuo River before?
"Friend Sun, don't you think the black-robed man's martial arts are familiar to you?"
"Indeed, the black-robed man practices the Huangtu Ba Zhen Jue. I didn't expect that there are really people who practice such evil martial arts."
"I heard before that the descendants of the Sancha Fishing Gang attacked the Julang Fishing Gang everywhere. That must be this person. The Sancha Fishing Gang and the Julang Fishing Gang have a feud of exterminating each other. The descendants will definitely seek revenge at all costs."
"That makes sense, that should be the case."
Everyone started talking again. Lin Jiang remained calm and confirmed that the man in black was indeed Liu Dong. Otherwise, Lin Jiang didn't believe that there would be another person who would do this.
“Huangtu Bazhen Jue, this evil technique should have been banned long ago”
“How can it not be banned? Zhonghang Sect and Yunjian Sect have been destroying this technique. It’s just that the immortal cultivation world has been repeatedly banned, and many people have kept it privately”
“I know this too. Many independent cultivators hide this technique as a weapon, thinking that if one day they are bullied, they can take it out and practice to avenge their blood feud”
“It’s not that simple. I have also seen this technique in my early years. This technique does not require the practitioner’s spiritual roots, but not everyone can practice it successfully. Only those with great willpower can do it, and the price to pay is extremely terrible. Don’t look at the black-robed man who is now a golden elixir cultivator. It’s not certain whether he can live beyond a hundred years old”
Sun Man said. The technique is not a panacea. It does not mean that you can practice it successfully. Countless people have died from the side effects of the technique halfway.
Lin Jiang listened to the discussion while watching the fight several miles away. The black-robed Liu Dong fought one against two, but he was not at all inferior. He even suppressed the two of them. Liu Jian and the others were extremely passive.
"Liu family boy, don't fight to the death. The demise of the Sancha Fishing Gang is not our intention. You should know that if we don't take action, other fishing gangs will also take action."
Liu Jian was beaten anxiously and yelled at the black-robed man. The Emperor's Hegemony True Secret is a heaven-level skill, which is much better than the skills they practiced. Whether it is the amount of spiritual power or the quality, it is one level higher. They are really no match.
"So what? You killed the people. If I don't kill you, how can I be worthy of the more than 30 people in my Liu family?"
Liu Dong said coldly. The root cause of the conflict among the fishing gangs lies in the game of the upper level. The Sancha Fishing Gang's backer has fallen, and they have no support. If they are not swallowed up by the Julang Fishing Gang, they will be swallowed up by other fishing gangs.
This is the fact, but he doesn't care. He only knows that more than 30 members of the Liu family died at the hands of the Julang Fishing Gang. This is enough. He didn't find the wrong person for revenge.
"Shen Bo, when will the support arrive?"
"I have sent 18 messages for help."
"Don't wait, your backer is not in Yunzhong City now, wait to die."
Liu Dong laughed. He was discovered by Liu Jian and chased here, but as a result of his careful calculation, the backer of the Julang Fishing Gang is now in seclusion and can't receive the message.
"Join hands, fish swallow the world"
Liu Jian heard this, his face changed drastically, and he looked at Shen Bo, ready to join forces to cast a spell.
"Haha, without water, what can fish do?"
Liu Dong was not afraid at all. The secret art of the Julang Fishing Gang, Fish Swallow the World, is indeed very powerful, but the premise is that there must be water. In Yuntuo River, they are blessed by nature. Here, what water is there?
As expected, after the two of them performed the secret technique, the streams around them were quickly sucked dry by them, and the water turned into a water dragon that swept towards Liu Dong.
However, the nearby streams were not big enough to sustain the water dragon's consumption. After a few rounds of fighting with Liu Dong, the water dragon collapsed.
"If someone from the Giant Wave Fishing Gang casts water magic at this time, maybe they can win,"
Lin Jiang said in his heart. No other magic is needed, just a cloud and rain will be enough, but the premise is that there must be more people, a little bit is not enough.
Unfortunately, no one from the Giant Wave Fishing Gang appeared, and I don't know if they dared to come, or they were held up by other things.
"Break it for me,"
Liu Dong saw the collapse of the water dragon and immediately increased his attack. He didn't practice many secret techniques, and a big knife just chopped out a series of knife auras, which were invincible and instantly broke Shen Bo's magic shield. He chopped him with a knife, and Shen Bo screamed and flew out.
Seeing this, Liu Jian quickly turned around and fled. The two of them were not opponents, let alone him alone. Liu Dong refused to let him go and chased him alone again.
"Shen Bo seems to be dying"
"What should we do?"
"Save him or..."
He couldn't finish his words. Someone in Sun Man's cave was ready to make a move, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"I don't know anything, ignore me."
Lin Jiang was the first to land. He would not do anything, whether it was to save people or to take advantage of the situation. He would do everything in a safe way and just stay alive first.
"I don't know either."
"Me too."
Several people landed quickly like Lin Jiang. They couldn't control this matter, but more than half of the people hadn't come down yet, including Sun Man. They all knew that the Golden Core Patriarch was rich, not to mention the Great Elder of the Fishing Gang. He was definitely a super fat sheep. Saving people could get a generous reward, but killing people, hehe.
