Cultivation World 26: The Scam Team
There is a hidden underground fire under the Fentian Mountains, and the temperature is extremely high all year round.
When Xie Yunsui landed at the foot of the mountain, he could already feel the heat of the fire.
However, this cannot stop the monks from entering to train, and the monsters inside are all fire-attributed and are high-attack monsters. Many monks who want to sprint through the realm like to come here to challenge.
Ever since Fu Wenming entered the Burning Heaven Mountains, he had been so hot that he only wore a single layer of clothing. He sweated more than he drank water, but he had been trying to endure it.
Xie Yunsui spent two days making an ice-attribute bracelet for him.
"This bracelet will cool your body temperature, but I still hope you'll take it off for three hours each day to get used to the heat of the fire."
Fu Wenming took the bracelet and said solemnly, "I will."
He knew that whether he was refining medicine or refining weapons, he needed to control the strange fire at close range.
Temperature was his first hurdle.
The Burning Heaven Mountains were unfamiliar to Xie Yunsui and Ling Xiyuan, so they did not enter rashly.
I stayed at the foot of Xinsi Mountain for two days and took the opportunity to get some information.
A cultivator who had lived and traded here for years said, "It depends on whether you're here for training or to make money. Most of the monsters in this nearby mountain range are only at the Foundation Establishment stage at most. If you want to make money, hunt foxes and bears here. Their bones, flesh, and tendons fetch good prices. A full Qiankun bag can earn you around a thousand spirit stones."
"If you want to break through, you have to go deeper. The monsters inside have unique skills, some flying and some burrowing into the ground. However, if you go past five peaks at most, you'll find the territory of the Fire Centipede, a monster with strength comparable to that of a late Nascent Soul. If you don't have that ability, don't go there and die."
Xie Yunsui thanked him and bought some animal bones from a few stalls nearby.
"Are you back? Did you find out anything?" Ling Xiyuan asked.
"The nearby mountains are filled with weaker monsters. Let's go there first to adapt to the attack methods of fire-attributed monsters before going deeper."
Fu Wenming was listening on the side, but he didn't hear the instructions for him. He suddenly shuddered and said, "Should I go in too?"
Xie Yunsui raised his eyebrows: "What else can we do? There are so many cultivators at the door. It's not safe for you, a young cultivator who has just started practicing Qi, to be here."
Fu Wenming trembled inwardly: Will it be safe for me to face those monsters?
But he only dared to whisper in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Ling Xiyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, this exquisite tower can withstand the attacks of Yuanying masters. Just hide inside when fighting the enemy."
Xie Yunsui came out in a hurry this time and has not yet been able to make a magic weapon like the Liuli Pavilion, mainly because he has not yet collected all the materials.
Fortunately, Master Lingye had a seven-story exquisite tower, which was originally a defensive magic weapon and also had accommodation function. There was also a space inside to assist in cultivation, so Xie Yunsui bought it.
Now Xie Yunsui has only used two floors, and from the outside it looks like just a two-story building.
However, such a dazzling magic weapon standing here still attracted some people's attention.
The person who had just kindly given Xie Yunsui advice turned around and walked towards the team of five people.
"Three people, two who have established their foundation and one who has just started to draw Qi into their bodies, they are just like children playing house."
A sturdy Foundation Establishment cultivator asked, "Whose young master hired these two bodyguards?"
"It's hard to say. Only the one who was trying to gather information came out these past two days."
"That little building of theirs... doesn't look like an ordinary magical treasure."
"Hehe, we don't want their lives either, but the Burning Sky Mountains are dangerous, and we brothers like to share our sights with others on the same prey. If we want to travel safely in the mountains, we have to bleed."
…
Ling Xiyuan was in the front, always on the alert for attacks from monsters.
He released his mental power, and once he sensed a monster he could deal with, he would go over and fight it to strengthen himself.
There is also a fire bursting out from under the ground that is cracked into a network, and you have to be careful to avoid it.
Walk slowly and be cautious.
Xie Yunsui was naturally not in a hurry. He had reserved half a year in the Fentian Mountains for Xiaoxi to train.
The Wanjie Shop determined that he had reached the Jindan stage of cultivation. Normally, as long as he refined Xuan-level pills or artifacts, he could obtain energy, not to mention that he had so many spirit stones available.
It’s just that he usually displays his foundation-building cultivation, and sometimes he gets lazy and forgets to show it.
As a result, in the eyes of others, he sometimes has no cultivation, sometimes practices Qi, and sometimes builds a foundation.
Ling Xiyuan was used to it, thinking that the technique he practiced was special and that he was good at hiding himself.
Xie Yunsui had no experience of breakthrough, no body, and could not learn the martial arts of this world. Now he was just waiting for Xiaoxi to break through the Jindan stage, and then they would show their Jindan cultivation to the outside world, and they would be considered to have broken through together.
Now he followed behind, instructing Fu Wenming to pay attention to his breathing while collecting lava fruits and other things hidden underground.
"There seems to be a demon bear ahead." Ling Xiyuan reminded.
Fu Wenming immediately became nervous: "Can I go into the Linglong Tower first?"
Xie Yunsui said, "Someone else has also taken a fancy to the demon bear. Let's take a detour."
They did not want to argue with others on this trip. Besides, most people came to the mountains ahead to earn spirit stones. They had no shortage of spirit stones, so there was no need to compete with others for a demon bear.
Ling Xiyuan nodded: "Let's go to the left."
After walking about a hundred steps, his brows furrowed again: "These people are coming towards us."
Xie Yunsui also sensed something was wrong and released the Linglong Tower, and Fu Wenming immediately went in.
When encountering problems, saving your life is the first priority, and you must not let the two big guys hold you back.
The first floor of the Linglong Tower still contained the two fox demons that Boss Ling had hunted earlier. Fu Wenming took a look at them, held the boning knife in his hand, and began to skin and bones them, thinking of what Xie Yunsui had taught him.
Outside the Linglong Tower, Xie Yunsui looked at the demon bear that was driven in front of him and the five-man team following behind with a subtle expression.
The Burning Sky Mountains are such a big place, why are they heading here?
"Hey! Over there, stop that demon bear!"
Compared to the demon bear whose strength is comparable to that of the middle stage of foundation building, Ling Xiyuan is more concerned about the team behind. There is only one person in the late stage of Qi training, and the other four are all in the foundation building stage.
A team of five people like this shouldn't be unable to stop even a demon bear, otherwise they would be making things difficult for others.
The demonic bear was already approaching. It was a ferocious beast that had been living in flames for years. It was huge in size, and the parts that should have been fur had turned into charred shells, which were extremely hard. It roared wildly and could even spit out flames from its mouth.
This is much more difficult to deal with than the fox demon.
Ling Xiyuan was not prepared, and after a moment's thought, he gave up his position.
The demon bear had no intelligence, but it was still sensitive to danger. It keenly realized that the Linglong Tower had its terrifying power, so it turned around and fled to another place.
The five-member team caught up, but instead of chasing the monster, they blamed Ling Xiyuan and the other two: "Why didn't you stop him?"
Ling Xiyuan was quite polite: "This demon bear is very powerful. I'm afraid the two of us can't stop it. Besides, this is the prey of several immortal friends, so we should avoid suspicion."
"Stop talking nonsense! We just wanted you to stop it. We brothers will come over and kill it right away. We can even give you some animal bones later. Look, you let this demon bear escape for nothing!"
The sturdy Foundation Establishment cultivator pinched his hand bones, making a crackling sound. He took a few steps forward and said in a bad tone, "We wasted a lot of spiritual talismans and magic tools trying to catch this demon bear. Now that you have released it, shouldn't we make up for the materials we wasted?"
In his words, he actually blamed the monster's escape on them.
Xie Yunsui was so angry that he laughed. This was simply a blatant attempt to find fault without even a good excuse.
Where is the injury on the demon bear's body?
Ling Xiyuan could no longer fail to see that these people were here just for them, so he immediately put aside his polite expression and said calmly, "What do you want?"
"Hehe, not much." A thin monk nearby laughed, "Just a dozen Fiery Fire Talismans and a top-grade yellow magic weapon."
Ling Xiyuan said: "There are two Fiery Fire Talismans, but no Yellow Grade Top Grade Magical Weapon."
"If you don't have the corresponding items, you can use spirit stones to make up for it."
The other side now became "reasonable".
"What if there are no spirit stones?"
"No? Then I can only offend you!"
The five-member team was used to doing this kind of thing, and they also knew that most ordinary cultivators would not be easy to talk to at the beginning. They would inevitably have to fight, and only after they knew their own weight would they choose to take the spirit stones and materials to escape.
The five of them immediately took up their positions, each holding a magic weapon. When activated by spiritual power, they glowed brightly, which was indeed quite intimidating.
The next second, a sharp sword energy attacked the leader's face.
The monk: “!!!”
Xie Yunsui was concerned about giving Xiaoxi more combat experience, so he didn't kill several people with one move. He just entangled the two of them and didn't give them a chance to help.
Ling Xiyuan waved his sleeves to summon a defensive magic weapon, allowing the remaining three people on the opposite side to attack, observing their attack methods and using music to disrupt the circulation of spiritual energy in their bodies.
The three people on the opposite side only felt that the tortoise shell-like magic weapon in front of this person was very solid. Several spiritual rays of light shot at it, but it was not damaged at all. On the contrary, they heard that weird tune, their breathing became disordered, and they almost couldn't even activate the magic weapon.
"Damn it, it's too difficult, change someone else!"
Ling Xiyuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately changed to a ninth-grade lotus platform. He activated his spiritual power and set up a confinement formation to control the three people.
He is still at the foundation-building stage, and activating a Xuan-level magic weapon is a cross-level operation, which consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
When Xie Yunsui saw this, he did not delay any longer and quickly got to know the two people in his hands.
The faces of the remaining three people turned pale. Their cultivation was not low, and they had always been able to escape even if they encountered a tough opponent. They never expected that they would lose two people at once today.
The three men immediately shouted, "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
They held the Qiankun bag in their hands, indicating that they were willing to give away everything in the bag, and they just wanted to save their lives.
Ling Xiyuan said calmly, "Don't you want a Fiery Fire Talisman? I'll give you one."
After saying that, he shattered a lotus petal. The three imprisoned people had nowhere to hide and had to take the damage from the Fiery Talisman.
The Fiery Talisman exploded with extraordinary power, and the movement was noticed within a radius of 100 kilometers.
Several teams looked in this direction, each with different thoughts, but all of them moved a little further away from this direction.
The three people who ate the fire talisman did not die, but they were only breathing their last breath.
Ling Xiyuan took the Qiankun bags from the three people and turned to Xie Yunsui and said, "Let's continue on our way."
The three men had been hunting geese all day and now had their eyes pecked by geese. They had accepted their fate, but they never thought that they were still alive. They hurriedly supported each other and left.
Xie Yunsui looked at their backs and said, "This isn't the first time these people have done something like this."
Ling Xiyuan explained, "They've offended many people for money, and nothing good will come of them if we let them go."
Xie Yunsui: "Okay."
The two picked out the items in the Qiankun bags when they suddenly heard another voice: "Hey - in front, be careful of the monster bear!"
Xie Yunsui looked up: "Again?"
There are not many monsters in the Burning Sky Mountains anymore. Are all the teams out there to kill people and steal treasures?
