The children who woke up looked at the strangers and started to sob. Since they were very young, they basically didn't remember what had happened.
Only a seven-year-old boy seemed to know something, but he didn't say anything and looked at the person in charge with tears in his eyes.
When the person in charge saw this situation, he immediately asked someone to notify the families of the lost children to come and pick up the children. Then he politely settled the task reward with Lian Yi and invited her to visit the City Lord's Mansion, but Lian Yi declined.
Ripples immediately reported what happened here back to the sect, asking the Wuyun Sect to also pay attention to the matter of missing children in the sect's territory. After all, the evil cultivators had changed their methods again, and they had to be on guard.
After reading the communication jade slip, Qiao Qianshan summoned Elder Xiao and Elder Shang to discuss strengthening patrols in the sect's territory.
“Although we go to the territory to recruit disciples every ten years, the fixed schedule also gives these evil practitioners an opportunity to take advantage of us.
I think that in addition to the fixed disciple-recruiting conference once every ten years, if the disciples who go out for training on weekdays come across a good seedling, they can also bring it back to the sect. This will also avoid omissions when we recruit disciples and prevent evil cultivators from having the opportunity to act first.
Thinking about those five children with only one spiritual root, my heart aches!"
Qiao Qianshan was really heartbroken. Such good talent was ruined by those evil cultivators.
"What the Sect Master said makes sense. Dealing with the evil cultivators who have returned is not just our sect's job. We'd better spread the news to the three major sects as their territories are most likely to be targeted by the evil cultivators."
Elder Shang stroked his hair and said.
After all, there are many cultivation families affiliated with large sects, and their children will have better qualifications.
"Elder Shang is right. We need to notify not only the three major sects, but also the Loose Cultivator Alliance. You should know that the evil cultivator sneaked into the Yuntian Secret Realm ten years ago by posing as a lone cultivator."
Elder Xiao also agreed.
A month after Lianyi left Laurel City, the news that evil cultivators were stealing children with spiritual roots and training them as evil cultivators had spread.
Lian Yi was facing five monks who blocked her way. This time she did not rush to attack. Instead, she looked them up and down several times, and after considering her words, she spoke:
"Five Taoist friends, how could you grow up like this? Did you practice some strange technique?"
After hearing Lian Yi's words, the five people on the opposite side looked even uglier. The only male cultivator who looked acceptable, with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, said:
"My fellow Daoist, we have no ill intentions. We just want to exchange some elixirs and spirit stones with you."
"There is a city ahead, you can go and buy it yourself, why do you have to stop me from exchanging it?"
"Do you think we don't want to? Those monks look down on us and don't allow us to enter the city. If my brother hadn't been seriously injured, we wouldn't have stopped them here."
The person who was speaking had a square face, squinting eyes, an upturned nose and a sausage-shaped mouth. Lianyi wanted to wash his eyes out when he saw him. He had been through so many dimensions but had never seen such an ugly person.
'But I don't want to exchange with you.'
Although Lianyi didn't say it out loud, her expression was too obvious.
The monkey-like male cultivator on the opposite side stared at Lianyi and said:
"If you don't want to, please forgive us for being rude!"
After he finished speaking, a meteor hammer appeared in his hand, and it was obvious that he was preparing for a forceful attack.
The reason why Lianyi did not take action immediately was not only because the five people on the opposite side were extremely ugly, but also because the strength of each of them was not bad. The one who spoke first was in the Nascent Soul Stage, the remaining three were in the late Golden Core Stage, and the last one was in the middle Golden Core Stage.
With this level of cultivation, they are stronger than the average small sect. How could they have fallen to the point of robbing here?
Lianyi was also very helpless, but Xuanfeng could no longer wait and jumped out of Lianyi's arms. After landing, he turned into a fourth-level black tiger, showing his sharp claws and teeth, glaring at the male cultivator holding the meteor hammer and roaring.
The expressions of the five people opposite changed. They just wanted to stop a lone cultivator to exchange resources, but they didn't expect that the other party had a fourth-level spirit beast, which was equivalent to the strength of a human cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
Look at the female cultivator opposite. Although she is wearing the Taoist robe of a casual cultivator, her aura is restrained and contained. They probably hit a wall this time. The spirit beasts are all level four, so how weak can their masters be?
The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment, and just when it was about to explode, a cough was suddenly heard from behind a big tree, and then a white-robed monk walked out slowly.
Seeing the white-robed male cultivator walking towards them, Lianyi's eyes lit up. The other person seemed to be feeling broken due to his injury, but his face was gentle and gave people a very comfortable feeling.
In fact, the other party's appearance is just an ordinary male cultivator in the world of cultivation, but who made him stand together with those five ugly men? The comparison makes his handsomeness more prominent.
"My fellow Daoist, my five brothers are rude. They are not evil people, and they have no intention of robbing you. It's just that I was seriously injured and my cultivation level has dropped. They are worried about me going to the city alone, so they want to exchange some healing medicine with others here. Please forgive them."
The man in white robe bowed and apologized.
Lianyi took two steps forward, touched Xuanfeng's head, and said with a smile:
"What kind of elixir do you want to exchange?"
"Soul Condensing Pill, preferably a third-grade one."
The narrow-eyed male cultivator said immediately.
"You've hurt your soul."
Lianyi said to the man in white robe, and her words were affirmative.
"Yes, I was caught by someone else at the wrong time. If my five brothers hadn't come to my rescue in time, I'm afraid I would have died."
The white-robed male cultivator said with a self-deprecating smile.
Ripple smelled a hint of a story.
"What will you exchange for it?"
"Purple gold sand."
"It's a good thing indeed. How many do you have? Is it enough to upgrade my natal sword?"
Lianyi asked directly.
"It should be enough. I was stabbed in the back just for this handful of purple gold sand."
The monkey-faced male cultivator said indignantly.
Although the purple gold sand was not stolen, it is a pity that it can no longer be kept. For the sake of their own brothers, they are willing to exchange the things as long as they can get elixirs.
"make a deal!"
Lianyi touched her storage bracelet and took out a pill.
When the five people on the opposite side saw Lianyi was so straightforward, the man with squinting eyes immediately took out a transparent bottle from his arms, which was filled with purple gold sand.
Both parties pushed the exchange item towards each other at the same time, then reached out to take it together. After a spiritual sense scanned it to confirm that there was no problem, the bottle of medicine was stuffed into the hands of the man in white robe.
"Xiao Liu, take the medicine first, we will protect you."
"Yes, your injury cannot be delayed any longer."
"Xiao Liu, listen to your elder brother"
The five of them talked at once, then surrounded the man in white robes and released an isolation array to protect their younger brother.
Lianyi was very interested in these six people, so she did not leave. Instead, she set up an isolation formation not far away and began to practice, preparing to find them to answer their questions tomorrow.
"Master, all five of them have been poisoned."
Duoduo suddenly transmitted the message.
"Poisoned? How come I didn't see that? Apart from being ugly, they are quite strong!"
"It's because they were poisoned that they are so ugly."
See you tomorrow, my dears~
