Yunzhong Mountains, middle section
"Master, our neighbor's house has sound transmission notes flying around, it's so noisy"
"If you are really that bored, turn over the ground in front of the door"
Shao Xiong looked at Shao Jie and shook his head. This kid's temperament is not good enough. He is still in the mountains and he is so restless. If he goes to Yunzhong City, won't there be chaos?
"Master, I'm just curious. I've never dealt with so many people before. Master, how do you think they will deal with us? Will they unite all the foundation-building cultivators in the entire Yunzhong Mountains to besiege us?" "
No."
"Why not? Wild beasts only need a head, just like wolves, there is a wolf king, the alpha wolf."
"Guess why there are no Jindan cultivators in the Yunzhong Mountains, or if there are, they have to hide."
"Don't know? Why, Master?"
"Because such awesome people are not allowed here,"
Shao Xiong said. There are so many cultivators near Yunzhong City, how could there not be a few heroes? But you are a hero, but once you have the idea of commanding the support of everyone in the middle section of the Yunzhong Mountains, or even unifying this place, you are doomed. Someone won't allow them to do so.
"The two major sects are so domineering, Master, when have we ever been so domineering?"
Shao Jie said. Shao Xiong told him a lot of the rules of Yunzhong City, and he immediately guessed that it was the two major sects that were in charge.
"Don't think about it. Your master is not that powerful. There are more talents in the two major sects than you think. The most powerful cultivators are always in the sects."
Shao Xiong shook his head. His talent and understanding were good, but he knew very well that in the eyes of the sect, it was nothing. You are a genius, but there are people who are more talented than you, and most of the geniuses that can be seen on the market have been taken away by the sect.
"Master, why are you so modest? Didn't you say that we are wolves, real wild wolves, ordinary casual cultivators are at most domestic dogs, and sect disciples are just sheep. If it really comes to a one-on-one fight, I can kill three domestic dogs and ten sheep. It's not like I haven't killed them
before." "You believe what I lied to you when you were a child?"
Shao Xiong was shocked. Why did Shao Jie still believe this at this time? Wasn't this what he coaxed Shao Jie to play when he was a child?
"But that's the fact,"
Shao Jie said. In the north of the Yunzhong Mountains, he met many sect disciples, ordinary casual cultivators, whose cultivation looked good, but very weak. They didn't seem to know how to kill. With the same cultivation, he could kill them quickly.
"Shao Jie, I warn you, don't cause trouble for me. Ordinary sect disciples and ordinary casual cultivators are indeed like this. They are weak, but there are masters among them, masters that I can't afford to offend. I am only in the late stage of foundation building, understand?"
Shao Xiong said sternly. He had a basis for what he said back then. People like them grew up in killing since childhood and were often besieged by more enemies. It was common for the weak to defeat the strong. The immortal cultivators who survived in this environment were vicious wolves.
As for ordinary casual cultivators, they farmed and did business, and maybe fought and killed people. How could they compare with them? For them, killing monsters and people is as simple as drinking water, so they can be called domestic dogs.
Ordinary sect disciples are even weaker. The protection of the sect makes them soft sheep. There are even sect disciples who have reached the foundation building stage but have never killed anyone. Such immortal cultivators have only cultivation, but don't know how to use it.
But this is just a common situation. There are also powerful and outstanding ordinary casual cultivators. It goes without saying that the sects will not play equal damage with you. You are in the foundation building stage, but they are in the golden elixir stage. If the golden elixir stage is not good, there are primordial infants, and even gods, although he has never seen gods.
Now Shao Xiong is very worried that Shao Jie does not know the height of the world and offends the big sects. He really does not know how he will die.
"Master, I am not a fool. I know that I can't afford to offend the two big sects. Don't worry, I won't do stupid things."
"It's good to know. The most important thing for this trip back to Yunzhong City is to collect money. When the money is enough, we will go to get the Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill. When I break through the golden elixir, I will also find a place to establish a sect."
Shao Xiong said. He has been a casual cultivator for many years. He knows too well the hardships of casual cultivators. If he is really capable, he will still establish a sect. It is so cool to be the ancestor of a sect. The disciples under the sect are responsible for collecting money. He only needs to practice. Why should he run around?
“Hehe, Master, I’ve been to Yunzhong Mountains for a long time, and I haven’t been to Yunzhong City. Take me for a walk.”
“Okay, I’ll go get you some Zhenling Pills. There are still many battles to fight, and your cultivation is a little weak.”
Shao Xiong nodded. Now he regards all the casual cultivators in Yunzhong Mountains as prey. They are bound to be besieged, and they will need the help of their disciples when the time comes.
·······
“The casual cultivators of the Northern School have a saying, saying that we, the casual cultivators of the Southern School, are domestic dogs, and the disciples of the sect are sheep, and only they are wolves. Wolves eat sheep and domestic dogs···”
“It’s ridiculous. How dare an old man despise us like this?”
“Is the wolf a very powerful monster? Why doesn’t he call himself a dragon?”
"Because there is a wolf king in the north, which is in the late fourth stage, equivalent to the late Nascent Soul stage. The more powerful monsters are in the deeper part, and we cultivators have not had much contact with him. The wolf king is already very fierce. Zhongxing Sect once dispatched three Nascent Soul ancestors to hunt it, but they all failed to kill it."
In the Yunzhong Mountains, as soon as Shao Xiong and his disciples left, more than ten foundation-building casual cultivators gathered together. They were all in the early stage of foundation building, the weakest existence in the foundation-building period. They were all scared to death, afraid that Shao Xiong would come to them, so they gathered together to discuss.
"Brother Fan, among these more than ten people, only you have been to the north. Tell us about the north,"
Lin Jiang said to the organizer. This person is called Fan Tong, who is in the early stage of foundation building. He has been to the north of the Yunzhong Mountains for three years and is the only casual cultivator among them who has been to the north.
"The situation in the north is not very good. The demons and us cultivators have been fighting back and forth. I went there more than ten years ago. At that time, there were less than twenty strongholds built by the cultivators. The only solid one was the stronghold of the two major sects, which had formed a small city. The strongholds of the two major sects had about 10,000 people.
The most common thing for the cultivators over there is fighting, fighting with demons, fighting with the harsh environment, fighting with cultivators. Except for the strongholds, there are no rules anywhere, and the disciples of the two major sects are often killed and injured.
It can be said that the cultivators who can survive for ten years in the north, even if they are in the Qi training stage, cannot be underestimated. They are really ruthless people, ruthless to the enemy and to themselves..."
"Are their individual combat effectiveness very strong? To what extent?"
"It's hard to say, but one day, with the same cultivation level, their spiritual power is much more condensed than ours. They fight frequently, their spiritual power output is very fast, their attack power is very strong, and their meridians are strong. Some of our so-called big moves and trump cards are used by them on a daily basis, so their attack power is much stronger in our view."
"Another point is ferocity. Some ruthless people may look gentle and gentle at ordinary times, but once they see blood, they will immediately become extremely ferocious. After being injured, they will go crazy and their fighting power will soar. When fighting with them, remember not to let them get close to you. It's best to keep them hanging."
Fan Tong said one by one. Thinking of the past events, he still had lingering fears. At the beginning, he had just established his foundation not long ago. He was full of ambition and thought that other people were no better than him, so he went to venture into the wilderness. However, he did not expect that the facts would slap him in the face. He could not make it at all. Most of the three years were spent in the stronghold. He was not like the others who dared to go deep into the wilderness.
"What great achievements do Shao Xiong and his apprentice have?"
"Yes, when Shao Xiong was in the middle stage of foundation building, he killed an opponent in the late stage of foundation building, and the opponent was also a ruthless person who had fought in the wilderness for many years. His apprentice is even more abnormal. He grew up in the wilderness since he was a child. In the wilderness, he would eat the flesh of monsters alive, like a wild beast."
"These news are too general. Aren't there any details?"
"No, how dare people know their details in the wilderness? Are they afraid that they won't die quickly enough?"
Fan Tong shook his head. The wilderness is a lawless place. If the details were known to others, someone would definitely hunt them down.
"Now it depends on how to deal with them. The number of foundation building casual cultivators in the Yunzhong Mountains has been maintained between fifty and one hundred all year round. Not too many, as long as there are twenty people, it will not be difficult to kill the two of them."
Lin Jiang said leisurely. After listening to Fan Tong's words, Lin Jiang actually didn't think Shao Xiong and his apprentices were that powerful. A true peerless genius could kill people across boundaries, such as killing an early Jindan cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. But obviously, Shao Xiong didn't have this ability.
He heard more about how ruthless Shao Xiong was and how he could survive in a harsh environment, but were these things cool? Not necessarily. These factors were not evidence of his invincibility.
When everyone heard Lin Jiang's words, they were silent. No one said anything. Twenty people might be able to kill Shao Xiong and his apprentice, but there would definitely be casualties. Who would die? No one wanted to die by themselves.
This is the characteristic of casual cultivators. Freedom is their advantage, but fighting alone is their disadvantage. No one would leave their backs to the people around them.
"Let's find a way to contact the seniors in the late stage of foundation building. To put it bluntly, we are all poor ghosts. How many spirit stones can we get by killing us? Only those in the late stage of foundation building are rich,"
Fan Tong said. There is really not much money in the early stage of foundation building. Most of the money earned is invested in cultivation. Those seniors in the late stage, on the one hand, live longer and have more ways to make money. On the other hand, they are also preparing for Dan formation and have saved a sum of spirit stones.
Lin Jiang smiled and said nothing to Fan Tong. He was not a poor man. These people combined were not as rich as him. Apart from other things, the talisman alone was enough to multiply their wealth several times.
Lin Jiang also understood that it was impossible to expect these people to unite. They were all used to being a mob, a pile of loose sand. To unite them, they must have a person with extremely high prestige, and at present, no one had such prestige.
Lin Jiang had the talisman as a trump card, and he was not afraid of Shao Xiong and his apprentice. He just didn't want to expose his strength and waste his trump card, so he just waited and saw. If Shao Xiong and his apprentice really wanted to provoke him, there was nothing he could do but kill him.
