Yunmeng Market.
Shen Lian dragged his tired body and rushed into the market with all his might.
call--
Seeing the buildings on both sides of him, he let out a long breath.
He exhaled a large amount of black air from his mouth, just like the Black Mountain Demon, and his face turned pale.
Around him, a dozen or so figures scattered around also looked up one by one.
Open your mouth.
Spit out black circles.
"It doesn't matter. I've survived another day, which is already impressive."
Exhaling heavily, Shen Lian wished he could vomit out his lungs.
If we don't get rid of the miasma in the vast mountains and wilderness, we'll be finished sooner or later.
"puff--"
Among the people who exhaled, one person spat out blood.
The other monks around him who were spitting out black air immediately pounced on the person who was vomiting blood.
Shen Lian ran towards the depths of the market town; he didn't want to get involved in the hustle and bustle.
After a brief scramble, the bleeding figure was stripped naked and his body was thrown aside like a shrimp.
…
"This is the thirtieth... ahem... thirty-third unlucky person I've met this month."
"No, we must move out of Yunmengfang City as soon as possible!"
"If you are soaked in the miasma, you will be poisoned to death sooner or later unless you are killed by someone."
“Ahem…”
“…Ahem…”
Feeling the stinging pain in his lungs, Shen Lian's face turned even paler.
Being constantly immersed in miasma, even a Qi training cultivator of the third level like him cannot stand it.
Shen Lian had never expected that after coming to the world of cultivating immortals, he would have to worry about losing his life all the time.
Practicing Taoism to seek immortality, but dying right at the beginning, what’s the point of seeking immortality?
It would be better to be in my hometown in my previous life.
They carry a small mortgage and drive their own or someone else's second-hand car.
At least I can live for a few decades. Here, I breathe in the miasma every day and watch out for the little black hand. It's really amazing! Even if a fairy comes, I have to be Yu Yu.
Shen Lian headed towards the center of the town, preparing to report the tasks he had done in the past few days in exchange for some spirit stones to pay for next month's rent.
Yunmeng Market was founded by the Bishui Sect, a Jindan sect.
The purpose is to develop Yunmeng Lake.
Before Shen Lian traveled through time, his original owner received a land reclamation mission issued by the Bishui Sect.
It's just that my luck was a bit unlucky. Only two months after arriving in Yunmeng Market, my life was taken away by the God of Hell.
Then, Shen Lian came through.
When he came here, he inherited a little inheritance, but also inherited an environment of living in fear all day long.
All the way to the center of the city.
There stands a tall stone archway here.
Behind the stone archway is a street of shops.
A faint spiritual light appeared and disappeared, and the defensive formation was activated at all times.
After entering the archway, Shen Lian took two deep breaths of spiritual energy.
The stinging pain in my chest was also relieved a bit.
This street was built under the leadership of the Bishui Sect and is undoubtedly the safest place in the entire market.
Shen Lian dreams of living here.
Even if I'm just a repairman here.
But he has five spiritual roots.
The fire and wood spiritual roots are only slightly prominent.
Good news.
In ancient times, the five spiritual roots were a standard requirement for becoming an immortal.
Bad news.
Nowadays, even if one can reach the late stage of Qi training in one’s lifetime, it would be considered a huge blessing.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the wrong time of time travel.
Walking on the street, Shen Lian did not look too much at the shops around him, and tried his best to avoid the gazes of other cultivators.
There's no way, it's useless to watch it.
There is no other reason.
It’s just what everyone thinks~q~i~ong!
In addition, since he only has the strength of the third level of Qi training, it would be better for him to retreat strategically.
After passing through various shops, the innermost part is the General Affairs Hall built by the Bishui Sect.
All cultivators who accept the mission of opening up new land for the Bishui Sect need to accept the mission here.
Most of the pioneering missions involve exploring the environment of the surrounding area.
Where is the spiritual vein?
Where is the best place to base your family?
Where is suitable for opening up spiritual fields, etc.
Simple, right?
It's just a bit life-wasting.
In the undeveloped wilderness, there are dangers including but not limited to miasma, poison gas, monsters, swamps, and attacks from one's own kind.
If no one dies every day, the day won't get through.
The mission Shen Lian accepted this time was to investigate the terrain of Area 136.
That's it.
His name still kept flashing in the Book of Life and Death.
You never know, maybe the King of Hell will be able to make a comeback one day.
Half a year ago, after traveling through time, Shen Lian sensed the danger and also wanted to leave.
After all, as a time traveler, he has a golden finger.
but.
The damn Bishui Sect is really a piece of shit.
Before coming, it was Sweetie.
After coming here, he was treated worse than even Mrs. Niu.
Want to leave?
Sorry, I have to pay for the spirit stones.
The predecessor came to take on the task of pioneering the new land, so you can imagine that he was a complete pauper.
Playing badly and not accepting tasks? Haha——
The Bishui Sect will kill you.
If you accept the mission, you will either be poisoned to death or killed.
Of course, if you have spirit stones, that’s a different matter.
But his previous life was a poor guy, and he still had five spiritual roots when he was over thirty years old.
Shen Lian obediently entered the General Affairs Hall and came before a manager of the Bishui Sect, where he handed in his task.
"Topographic map of one hundred and thirty-six areas."
As a cultivator at the third level of Qi training, he couldn't take on any difficult tasks.
This kind of drawing of topographic maps is barely acceptable for exploring the specific environment.
A guy asked, since outsiders can't see it anyway, why not just draw eight strokes of Xia Kun?
You know what, there are actually some smart people who have done this.
But the Bishui Sect has been passed down for so many years, and they are the ancestors of using tricks.
Many people will be sent to investigate a region.
If the picture you draw is too different from that of most people, you will be given the King of Hell's Red Set.
At the beginning, many people tried to break the law.
The result is that the people behind are extremely obedient.
The steward carefully looked at the map drawn by Shen Lian and some of the marked places, and nodded.
"Do you want contribution points or spirit stones?"
"I need spirit stones."
Five spirit stones.
Shen Lian grabbed him and left.
The rent for next month was enough, and now he just wanted to go back to his shack and rest.
…
"It's so tragic. My internal organs have been hollowed out."
"Damn demon cultivator, they are still in the market town, aren't they afraid of the Bishui Sect's law enforcement team?"
Before returning to his residence, Shen Lian saw a group of people gathered in a corner, pointing and talking.
A broken body lay in the corner.
He walked over quickly without even taking a second look.
I returned to the small house I rented and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ahem…”
This small house located in the outer area of the market town did not give Shen Lian much sense of security.
call--
Lying on the wooden bed, Shen Lian regulated his breathing.
My luck was pretty good this time. I didn't encounter any monsters or evil cultivators, but I did breathe in some miasma.
Five spirit stones, and I can live for another month.
“We must move!”
Staring at the roof, Shen Lian once again began to think about moving.
Such crisis-ridden days are not suitable for him.
The outer housing area is too unfavorable for stability.
Nightfall.
[Keep calm, insight points +1]
[Bonus: 0]
A virtual panel appeared in front of Shen Lian.
Shen Lian was not panicked, but was used to it.
This is why he pursues a stable environment.
Only in a stable place can you be calm and peaceful.
Hence, he calls this panel a robust system.
But the Yunmeng market is very unstable.
What a bullshit land reclamation mission! He, Shen, has to go there in person.
He has been worried for half a year and he must move!

Regarding the setting of divine consciousness in the chapter, some Taoist friends said that the gap between Qi training and foundation building is relatively small. Later, when the author wanted to revise it, he found that the context had changed a lot, so he made up for it in Chapter 72 when building the foundation. It does not affect the reading experience.
