Chapter 64: Big Demon (asking for monthly ticket)
Desolate, dilapidated...
The original location of Qinglin Market now seems to have turned into a huge ruin!
"This... Where is the Qingxuan Sect's mountain protection formation?"
Looking at the surveillance screen, Fang Xing suddenly thought of a question.
Qinglin Market is protected by a large formation! Once it is fully activated, it is like a giant bowl, firmly guarding the entire market.
But now... the fog and spiritual light of the great array are gone! The Qingxuan Peak, which is rarely seen, is revealed.
Not only that, there are even some low-level monsters wandering around the market, occasionally rushing into the market and hunting immortal cultivators, as if they were treating this place as a hunting ground! "The number of monsters... is too many."
"Is it another beast tide? Has Qinglinfang City fallen?"
Fang Xing was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that during the time when he was distracted by the final exam, Qinglin Market would have undergone such a huge change! "The key is... where is the Jindan Zhenren from Qingxuan Sect?"
Fang Xing touched his chin, thinking: "It seems... I have to find a cultivator to ask..."
…
Qinglinfang Market.
Periphery.
Yu Xia, the former monster hunter, hid behind an ancient tree in fear, feeling full of regret: "I was really blinded by greed. I came out at this time..."
"But the spiritual rice and fasting pills at home are almost gone. What else can I do if I don't want to starve to death?"
After not seeing him for a while, this once mighty monster hunter has become pale and it is obvious that he has not been living well recently.
“Ouch!”
At this moment, accompanied by wolf howls, a group of "Green Wind Wolves" rushed past him.
After a long time, Yu Xia came out and took out a jade bottle: "There's not much of this odor-removing powder left... Let's use it sparingly."
The odor-purifying powder is a secret medicinal powder passed down by his lineage of monster hunters. It can cover up the smell on the body and deceive the noses of most monsters.
The monster hunters who dare to go out hunting at this time usually have one or two unique skills.
Just as Yu Xia was about to leave, suddenly! The spiritual energy in the bushes fluctuated, and several green wind blades followed.
"not good!"
Yu Xia quickly activated the golden light shield talisman, and a layer of golden light appeared on his body, and he struggled to block a wind blade.
But the second one, the third one...
The wind blades seemed to be endless, and were accompanied by wolf howls!
“Ouch!”
From the dark depths of the dense forest, more than a dozen pairs of blue or green eyes suddenly emerged, all with bloodthirsty looks.
"Damn it... it's the wolf pack from before. They haven't left yet? This wolf is really cunning!"
Yu Xia had only one thought in his mind, and then he heard a puff and the golden light on his body exploded into pieces.
As the strong wind approached, he rolled on the ground in a very embarrassed manner, thus avoiding most of the wind blades, but his body was already covered in blood, and one of his arms was thrown away...
“I never thought that my life journey would end here…”
Yu Xia had a dejected look on her face as she calmly accepted the reality that she was about to be killed by a wolf.
This is the case with the wandering cultivators in the market town. They are like weeds on the roadside, and you never know when they will be blown away by the wind.
Woo woo!
Suddenly, the howling of wolves in the dense forest changed.
The excitement of foraging turned into fear...
"Has another powerful monster come? I don't know which monster will kill me. I hope it's not the 'Backer Boar'. It smells too bad..."
Yu Xia's consciousness was a little fuzzy.
A moment later, a figure appeared in front of him, and then a talisman was torn open. A green light overflowed and turned into drops of sweet rain falling down.
——Sweet rain talisman!
"I...thank you for saving me, fellow Taoist!"
Yu Xia felt that his wound was slowly stopping bleeding. He could not help but get up with a pale face and thank him, but there was still a trace of vigilance in his heart.
What casual cultivators fear the most is not the monsters, but other casual cultivators!
Even if this person saved him, it might not be out of good intentions.
But when he saw that person, his expression froze instantly.
He is big and strong, with a face full of flesh and a very ferocious look. You can tell at first glance that he is not someone you want to mess with.
Yu Xia instinctively felt that it was very dangerous, and her smile became three times warmer.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Fang Xing held the wolf king's corpse in his hand, with an impatient look on his face: "I was out hunting monsters before, and accidentally went deep into the wilderness, which delayed me for some time. How come the market has become like this?"
"You don't know, fellow Taoist? Sigh..."
When talking about this, Yu Xia was filled with bitter tears: "It's all the fault of that damn Qingxuan Sect. I don't know what happened when I explored the secret realm and attracted a third-level monster... That old witch who formed a Jindan took her disciples and left, leaving us here. There is no way to go up to the sky, and no way to go down to the earth..."
"A third-level demon?"
Fang Xing's heart skipped a beat. This was a monster that was comparable to a real person at the Jindan stage. After reaching the third stage, a monster could even condense a monster pill, nurture innate magical powers, and skyrocket its strength!
"Perhaps it's not just an ordinary third-level monster, otherwise the Qingxuan Sect's Jindan Zhenren might not have left... Or maybe there's more than one?"
Fang Xing's heart skipped a beat: "How much do you know about that secret realm? Are there still people buying monster materials and selling elixirs in the market?"
He is not very interested in the secret realm of immortal cultivators.
But whether or not one can purchase subsequent elixirs is crucial, as it determines whether one's practice in the Jade Realm can continue to advance by leaps and bounds!
"Secret realm? I don't know much about it, but I know it is in the Five Scorpion Valley and contains foundation-building opportunities..."
Yu Xia smiled bitterly: "The Qingxuan Sect disciples may know more..."
Fang Xing asked a few more questions and found out that the Qingxuan Sect left in a hurry, almost fleeing in panic. There might even be a third-level flying bird monster that took action and smashed several flying boats.
Therefore, even many disciples of the Qingxuan Sect stayed here and were unable to leave.
Because of this, these Qingxuan Sect disciples are regarded as dogs in trouble. The key point is that they are wealthy and coveted by the casual cultivators in the entire market. They often hide their identities and disguise themselves as other casual cultivators, making them very difficult to find.
Fang Xing was not surprised at all. Even though casual cultivators were usually very humble in front of the geniuses of the sects, when it came to the time of bloodshed, even the true disciples would dare to kill you! Not to mention, the Qingxuan Sect disciples had rich pockets, and they might even carry sect classics, elixirs, and the like. They were definitely the best fat sheep!
'Although the sect disciples have a high level of cultivation, if they have not experienced actual combat, they may not be able to defeat the casual cultivators who are several levels lower, not to mention the robbers who are definitely using their numbers to bully the few, traps and poisons, and everything else.'
Fang Xing silently mourned for the disciples of Qingxuan Sect, and then asked: "Where is the place of transaction?"
"The original market has long been reduced to ruins... Only when the fog rises in the early morning, there are occasional monks setting up stalls, which is called the 'ghost market'..."
Yu Xia replied, "In addition, every three days, there is a black market in an underground cave in the southeast of the market... The items sold there are often better than those in the ghost market, but they are also more dangerous..."
"I see."
Fang Xing nodded and walked away.
Yu Xia looked at Fang Xing's back as he left, licked her lips, and immediately went into the dense forest...
…
Qinglinfang Market.
Walking among the ruins, Fang Xing was quite emotional: "A good market town has become like this... This market town has been plagued by disasters... Eh? It seems that the disclosure of the secret realm has something to do with me? Never mind, it's okay..."
"But now looking at it again, it is actually the best choice to leave early this morning with Meng Zi, just like Shen Yuxin did. Hua Feiyue lacks some courage after all... I wonder if this woman is dead or alive?"
He had no intention of looking for the other person, he could only help if he met him.
If you don’t meet him/her… then it’s just bad luck.
"Meow!"
A cat's meow suddenly came from a beam among the ruins.
Fang Xing looked over and saw a two-tailed cat monster that looked like a little leopard. Its green eyes were staring at him and its claws were glowing with a dark sheen.
"snort!"
He snorted coldly, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.
The double-tailed cat immediately jumped up as if its tail had been stepped on, its fur standing on end, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared deep into the ruins...
"The spiritual vein in this market is probably not of a high level and cannot attract third-level monsters... Therefore, many cultivators are still struggling to survive in the ruins. After all, the outside world is even more dangerous!"
As for leaving the market town and heading to the real Qingxuan Sect’s headquarters?
Not only is that distance extremely far, but the journey is also full of difficulties and obstacles. In any case, ordinary Qigong practitioners don't even think about it.
"It is somewhat similar to the black market on the Eagle Planet..."
'It turns out that any order is better than no order at all...'
Fang Xing carried the wolf's corpse and walked past the wooden house where he had lived before, only to find that the place had already turned into a deep pit with all the surroundings charred. He had no idea what had happened there.
He walked by with a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't know the place at all.
There were almost no people along the way, but Fang Xing had sharp ears and eyes, and as a rough jade, he had extraordinary perception and could feel the gazes coming from all directions.
This also made him sigh: "This person is really as tenacious as a weed. He can survive no matter where he is..."
Fang Xing continued to move forward and found Qingdanfang. Unfortunately, the place was already in ruins and had been searched countless times...
Obviously, this was a good deed done by other independent cultivators when the market town was hit by a disaster.
"They are all scammers... Fortunately, they can't take away this spiritual energy."
Fang Xing came to a small courtyard. This was the superior cave area of the market town. Even a warrior could feel the fresh and active atmosphere in the void.
He randomly found a yard that looked relatively intact, opened the door, and walked in with a swagger.
"Who dares to trespass into my cave?"
A late Qi training cultivator came out angrily, holding a flying sword. He glared at Fang Xing and his expression was obviously much more relaxed: "Warrior?"
He immediately looked around, fearing that Fang Xing was a bait for some robbery gang.
"Is this your cave? Take out the spiritual contract so I can see it..."
Seeing this, Fang Xing smiled.
