Cultivation World 18 The Immortal Master’s Test?
Zhu Ming came here to discuss business. Now that the deal was done and the message was delivered, he naturally had to say goodbye first and prepare to catch up with his senior brothers' schedule.
Xie Yunsui and Ling Xiyuan had a schedule for tomorrow, so they were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they sat leisurely and planned to enjoy the dishes at Wushuang Restaurant.
After everyone left, Xie Yunsui took out a VIP sign and explained everything to Ling Xiyuan.
"This sign was specially made by me. The pattern is so unique that it's hard for others to imitate it."
Ling Xiyuan rubbed the character "3", which was different from the character "2" just now.
Xie Yunsui continued to explain its purpose. To put it bluntly, it was a discount for old acquaintances to jump the queue first. However, at the moment, there were not that many customers who came to Xie Yunsui to place orders.
However, he will not just open a small alchemy shop in Denglin Town. In order to seek opportunities in the future, he will travel all over the country and open a shop wherever he goes.
Ling Xiyuan replied, "I've made a note of this. If anyone comes with a sign like this next time, I'll tell you about it first."
Ling Xiyuan didn't care much about it. He knew that Xie Yunsui always had some clever ideas. It was nothing for him to carefully make a batch of small brands in order to attract customers.
Xie Yunsui looked much more relaxed.
There are some things I don't want to hide from Xiaoxi, but he has too many secrets, and they would never end. I don't want to reveal them all to Xiaoxi too early, for fear that he wouldn't be able to accept it all at once, so I have to reveal them slowly in daily life.
"Just now, Zhu Ming told us to be careful. Did he think that the Wanxiang Building's posture of looking for someone was not right and that they were coming with a strong momentum?"
"I didn't expect the Space Gourd to be famous for its anti-theft effect. The formation on it was something I came up with some time ago. I've been practicing formations hard recently and found nothing similar. They might be here for this formation."
In the world of cultivation, killing people and stealing treasures is a normal thing. Everyone wants their things not to be stolen, but also hopes to be able to use the things they have stolen from others.
This anti-theft formation probably attracted the attention of some people, but also caught the attention of others.
Ling Xiyuan nodded: "He is right. We must proceed with caution. Why not speed up our journey tomorrow and go to Hualuo City early to see the situation."
"good."
On the second day, they rented a second-level wind elephant, which was a tamed and raised monster beast. It was three times faster than a horse and was often rented by low-level monks to pull carriages.
Just as I finished paying, I heard a noise next to me.
"I'm really renting it for someone else, Uncle Wu. Please be kind and don't let me lose face. I promise I'll return it tomorrow!"
The young man in gorgeous clothes begged the manager Wu of the Monster Company, his hand still on the neck of a Qingyin Crane.
But Manager Wu didn't give him any face at all. He directly called for people to rescue He from his hands and take him away. He also personally "sent" the man out of the Monster Row.
The waiter serving Xie Yunsui and the other two was full of banter, eager to watch the fun. Before Xie Yunsui could ask, he started gossiping: "This is the young master of our Jinbao City Lord. He must be here to steal monsters again."
"Are you talking about the third-level flying monster?" Xie Yunsui took over.
"Yes, recently many cultivators have come to us to rent monster beasts for their journeys. Qingyin Crane is the most popular. Later we heard that there was an auction about to start in Hualuo City. I don't know where the young master got the news, but he insisted on going to see the excitement." The waiter sighed and said, "Don't you think that the auction will be attended by immortal masters like you two? What if... Oh, I mean, what if we disturb the immortal masters?"
Xie Yunsui glanced at him and felt that the next sentence he pressed should be "It would be bad if the immortals fought and their swords were not sharp enough to hurt them."
The auction invited cultivators from all walks of life, even Jindan-stage cultivators were there, so mortals really shouldn't join in the fun.
Putting aside other things, the pressure that a Jindan Zhenren accidentally released alone is not something that a mortal can withstand. If a fight really breaks out, a cultivator may still be able to save his life, but a mortal may be gone before he even realizes anything.
"The city lord has issued an order not to allow mortals to come here to rent monsters. The young master has come here a few times before. The first two times, he used the excuse of renting monsters for the Immortal Master. We didn't suspect anything and let him rent them. But who knew he would take the monsters out on his own and go to Hualuo City."
"If the monster hadn't been extremely hungry and had no food, and hadn't abandoned the young master and ran back, the matter would have been exposed. Right now, the young master might be fending for himself in the wilderness."
"It is said that when the city lord sent people to find the young master, he was so hungry that he was chewing grass."
Xie Yunsui was curious: "After this incident, will you still dare to rent to him?"
The waiter said, "He did bring the immortal master's notes later, and we confirmed it through testing. But he registered an extra monster quota. He was smart this time and brought monster rations. If he hadn't lacked spiritual power and couldn't control the monster, he would have taken advantage of it."
It has come to this, even if the young master comes again, they will not rent to him no matter what.
After more than half a month of peace, they thought the young master had given up, but they didn't expect that he would sneak in and start stealing monsters.
Ling Xiyuan listened for a while and then asked curiously, "If he wants to go to Hualuo City, he can just rent a carriage. Why does he always come here to steal monsters?"
The waiter laughed heartily. "It's not so easy out there. Young Master, you don't know where Hualuo City is. Just the fact that so many immortal masters have been traveling lately has those evil spirits and demons ready to make a move. The roads are incredibly dangerous. A fire at a city gate can affect everyone. I heard a caravan suffered a tragedy. The city lord specifically warned the guards at the four city gates not to let you leave Jinbao City. Ordinary carriages can't escape inspection, but immortal masters can only leave using demonic beasts, so they're not subject to inspection."
Ling Xiyuan suddenly realized.
Xie Yunsui asked, "If this young city lord really wants to seek immortality, why doesn't he send him to a sect to become a disciple?"
"Hehe, the city lord gave it away a long time ago. I heard that his aptitude was too poor and he had no chance to become an immortal, so he returned it. What a pity."
The waiter quickly changed into the monster, and Xie Yunsui finished listening to the gossip.
When leaving Jinbao City, they passed by a very delicious pie stall. Thinking that they would have to travel day and night and would not have time to cook, Xie Yunsui got out of the car and bought all the pies.
Ling Xiyuan was meditating in the carriage when he suddenly opened his eyes.
After Xie Yunsui bought the pies and got on the carriage, he realized something was wrong. He looked at Ling Xiyuan and they tacitly remained silent.
It was not until he left the city gate and walked on the official road with few people that Xie Yunsui released his spiritual power and drove the Wind God Elephant for ten kilometers before stopping.
The moment it stopped, a very loud retching sound was heard, and then it was stopped abruptly.
Xie Yunsui stepped on the carriage twice and said, "Aren't you coming out yet?"
The breathing sounds below almost stopped. After a while, there was a rustling sound and someone crawled out from under the carriage.
Fu Wenming had seen these two immortal masters in the Monster Walk, so when he saw the immortal masters' carriage parked on the side of the road at the city gate, he got carried away and quietly hid under the carriage with light movements.
He had been training for many years and held on to the horizontal bar at the bottom tightly. He thought that as long as he held on tightly, even if he was not given the monster, he could still go to Hualuo City.
There are so many immortal masters there, he will definitely be able to seize the opportunity, right?
He didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. Fu Wenming thought he was hiding very well.
Xie Yunsui lifted the curtain of his carriage and said to the subject of his gossip, the young master of Jinbao City, "Have you tasted the Wind God Elephant? Go back."
Fu Wenming immediately clung to the front of the carriage and said, "Masters! Masters! I didn't expect you two already knew I was down here. To be honest, I'm offering myself to be your groom. I'm strong and know the roads around here well. Would you consider it?"
When he talked about being strong and muscular, he even raised his fist in a bodybuilding pose, and his sturdy muscles could not be hidden even by his robe.
As a mortal, his physical fitness is indeed good.
Xie Yunsui nodded in satisfaction. Just when Fu Wenming thought he had succeeded, a powerful force suddenly dragged him off the carriage and stuffed a bag of ten pies into his arms. The Wind God sped away, leaving only one sentence in the air: "It's only ten kilometers. Run back."
Only then did Fu Wenming realize that the speed of the Wind God Elephant was much faster than before, and it disappeared in almost the blink of an eye.
Perhaps the two immortal masters discovered it when he climbed under the carriage, but they still took him to experience the Wind God Elephant. Were they just teasing him?
Fu Wenming touched the hot pie, slapped his forehead, and ran after the wind god elephant.
"That kid is still following behind."
Xie Yunsui brewed a pot of flower tea and poured a cup for Ling Xiyuan: "I didn't expect you to follow me."
Ling Xiyuan closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, feeling rather worried: "I should have let him down from the beginning. It would be bad if something happened."
"Among mortals, he's already an adult at this age and should have started a family and a career. An adult should be aware of what they might encounter when they go out, and he should be responsible for the choices he makes." Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "Besides, even if we weren't there, do you think he wouldn't be able to find a way to leave Jinbao City?"
"If he wants to go to Hualuo City, there are plenty of ways."
Ling Xiyuan felt a little relieved, but he still had to pay attention to whether there were any traces of demonic cultivators nearby.
Although Xie Yunsui said so, he always took the official road and avoided many small roads that could go straight.
They passed through two villages and a small town without stopping until they reached the next city, Xiyang, where they decided to stay for three days.
They went to six food shops in one day and cleared out all the spiritual plant shops in the city. Ling Xiyuan found a low-grade Xuan-level flute in the weapon workshop. The two of them also participated in Xiyang City's unique prayer ceremony and had a buffet.
Early on the fourth day, the two met Fu Wenming again at the city gate.
The man had changed into clothes that were convenient for traveling. He was covered in dust and was leading two horses, looking at them with a sharp gaze.
Fu Wenming:D
"Master! I knew this was a test from you. I've finally caught up with you!"
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Ling Xiyuan: “…”
This is a huge misunderstanding.
