Chapter 323 Murder and Robbery Xu Hui followed the group of monks,...
Xu Hui followed the group of monks and walked for three days. In the distance, he saw a mountain that towered into the clouds. It stood out among the mountains and ridges, reaching into the sky.
That is where Wenshang City is located. Unlike most cities built on plains, Wenshang City is a mountain city built around the mountain, with houses in the market densely distributed according to a formation.
It can be said that the iconic buildings of this city are all part of the formation, and the remaining ordinary buildings are also arranged according to the formation. When necessary, they can be combined into different formations.
Therefore, there are almost no private houses built by individuals in Wenshang City. If you need a house, you can only buy the ones that have already been built in the city. Although the concentration of spiritual energy is similar, the price is more than twice that of other cities.
But there are still countless monks flocking there, if for no other reason than safety!
As long as you settle down in Wenshang City, you can find a job to make a living in the city, work to earn resources, and practice at the same time. You don’t need to go out to experience danger and can upgrade safely. For most cultivators, it is a good choice.
Of course, if you want to get a well-paid job, you need to have skills, such as making medicine, drawing talismans, refining weapons, etc.
What these monks discussed most was how to master a skill so as to obtain a safe and well-paid job.
It was obvious that they did not hold out much hope for their advancement to the Golden Core Stage. They just wanted to live peacefully through the two to three hundred years of the Foundation Establishment Stage, while laying a solid foundation and having a few children with good spiritual roots.
If this could allow them to enter the Wen family and become disciples of the Wen family, they might even be able to obtain resources for advancement to the Golden Core stage. However, they have no hope on their own and do not have the ambition to do so.
In their conversation, they mentioned a place: Wenxin Book Tower!
It was a 'library' built by the Wen family, available for all monks to borrow. The contents were all-encompassing and contained a lot of basic knowledge.
Even ordinary casual cultivators can go in and borrow books, and it only costs a few spirit stones each time. They can also copy basic skills and various miscellaneous knowledge, but it costs more spirit stones, which is equivalent to buying them.
In fact, many shops also sell various jade slips. The advantage of Wenxin Shuta is that it is comprehensive. It has all kinds of jade slips you could want, and there are especially many and complete ones for formations.
In addition, other places may only allow you to buy Huang-level and Xuan-level skills, but in Wenxin Book Tower, if you have the ability to gain recognition and reach the sixth floor or above, you will have the opportunity to obtain Di-level or even Tianji skills.
Of course, these monks were just talking about it, and they didn't know how to obtain this qualification.
But Xu Hui remembered this place. She lacked knowledge of the whole world and needed a place like this to supplement her understanding of various knowledge and common sense.
I took a look at the few people and found that they stopped flying far away from Wenshang Mountain and chose to walk. I was surprised, but I followed them secretly.
As soon as he landed, Xu Hui had a vague premonition that the underground was not simple, as if there was something restricting his flight.
Just as he was thinking this, he felt a strong wind behind him and immediately dodged to the side.
A tall figure suddenly pounced on the grass in front, creating a large hole. "Bah, bah, bah, how can this Wen Mall be so overbearing that it won't let people fly from such a distance?"
The monks in front also heard the noise and turned to look. Seeing his embarrassed appearance, they burst into laughter and said, "That's not all. Not only is flying prohibited here, but there are also various strange formations. Fellow Daoist, please be careful."
"Oh," the cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building didn't get angry. He got up, dusted off the dust on his body, and said with a smile, "Little cultivator Jiang Yang has just arrived at Wenshang City and doesn't know the secrets yet. Please help me solve my doubts, fellow Taoists."
As he spoke, several high-quality second-level spiritual plants flew out and were placed in front of the people.
The men happily accepted it and invited him to join them.
Xu Hui frowned, feeling that the cultivator named Jiang Yang was off-putting, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She just vaguely felt that the aura he exuded made her dislike him.
Xu Hui moved a little further away, keeping the maximum distance within which she could see and hear.
"This Wenshang City is full of formations. However, there are regulations within the city that prohibit the setting up of formations in public places without reason, except in private residences. However, there are not so many requirements outside the city. As you know, this is the territory of the Wen family's formation masters. Sometimes, when they feel like itching to do something, they will run outside the city to play with a few formations. Of course, those with high lethality are not allowed, but some harmless little tricks that can only prank people are allowed to run freely. So when walking here, you must be careful, or you will be caught..."
Before he could finish his words, he was trapped by a lit formation. The formation sprayed out pink smoke, surrounding the monk. Not long after, the formation disappeared, revealing a pink... and sturdy monk.
The hair is pink, the robes are pink, and even the giant axe in his hand has turned pink...
“…Hahahaha,” everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
This is really funny. I don’t know which formation master is so mischievous to create such an interesting formation.
Xu Hui was also surprised when she saw it. Can a formation be used as a stylist?
This transformation was truly thorough. Originally, the cultivator was big and strong. Although he was not a physical cultivator, he had a sturdy body and a dark complexion. But now, even his skin has become pink and tender, like a peeled egg.
"Bah, damn it! Don't let me know who he is, otherwise I will shave all his hair off," the monk said angrily.
Another cultivator said coldly, "Although this formation is tricky, judging by the technique, it's at least a third-level formation master."
The pale and strong monk immediately shut up. A third-level formation master is either a Jindan monk or a monk with high talent. In the Wenshang City, most of the formation masters with high talent are disciples of the Wen family.
I can’t afford to offend! I can’t afford to offend! The monk walked forward awkwardly, feeling too embarrassed to speak under such a dignified attitude.
"Okay, here's what you'll get. Wear this hairpin made of li wood and you can change your appearance and figure," a kind-hearted female cultivator handed over an ordinary hairpin.
The pale and strong monk immediately opened his mouth to express his gratitude, "You female monks are really kind-hearted. Thank you very much. After I sell the spiritual plants, I will treat you to a meal and a show at the Fragrant House."
The female cultivator covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then I won't be polite."
The strong monk put on the wooden hairpin, input spiritual power and transformed himself, and soon returned to his original appearance.
But in Xu Hui's eyes, he was still a strange-looking guy with a pink and strong appearance.
Xu Hui was speechless. Her eyes were quite powerful. That sturdy monk was in the late stage of foundation building, which was higher than her current cultivation level, but she could still see through him at a glance.
After walking a little further, they came to a valley. Suddenly, several monks became cautious, lined up in a row, and moved in a snake-like pace.
They reminded Jiang Yang, "This is a small path leading into Wenshang City. Most of it is safe, but there's a trap set up here. If you know how to use the formation, it's fine. If you don't, you'll be trapped for at least ten days to half a month. Be careful and follow our steps."
As soon as he finished speaking, a spiritual whip suddenly appeared in the air and lashed towards them.
In order to avoid, several people took wrong steps in panic and got trapped in the formation.
Several people were surprised, "Where did the spiritual whip come from?"
Then, they realized something and looked at Jiang Yang suddenly. They saw him throw a magic weapon into the air, and instantly unfolded a barrier, locking several people inside.
"What do you want to do?" They were shocked and immediately took out their weapons to fight back.
Several of them were cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they were quite powerful. After their full-strength attack, cracks appeared in the barrier.
Jiang Yang rushed in swinging his spiritual whip and fought with them. He was in the middle stage of foundation building, while the others had one in the late stage of foundation building, two in the middle stage of foundation building, and two in the early stage of foundation building. No matter what, they were all stronger than him.
So soon, Jiang Yang was at a disadvantage and had scars on his body.
Several people surrounded him and attacked him individually, coordinating their moves in perfect harmony.
Jiang Yang was no match for his opponent, and his injuries were getting worse. His eyes became fierce, and he suddenly threw out a bunch of insects.
The insects buzzed and rushed towards the monks, who blocked them with their weapons and most of them were chopped down.
But the situation became extremely strange. The killed insects actually split into two, came back to life, and rushed towards them in a huge crowd.
A few people noticed something was wrong and tried to deploy defenses, but they found that they could not use formations to defend themselves under the barrier.
In the Wen Mall, the most frequently used items are array plates. Here are a large number of Wen family disciples' practice works. For things with the same effect, the price of array plates is a full one-third lower than other items.
For ordinary cultivators, buying an array plate is much more cost-effective than buying magic tools, talisman paper, or elixirs with special functions.
Therefore, these people all brought formation plates, so they couldn't come up with anything suitable and could only resist.
But these strange insects seemed to be immortal and could even reproduce twice as fast. No matter how fast they moved and how tightly they danced, some insects still found a way to find a way.
"Oh no, this bug is eating our spiritual energy," screamed a monk who was bitten by the bug.
"What?" The others were surprised and sped up their movements.
However, it was useless. Jiang Yang cooperated with these bugs and quickly broke through their defenses. "Hahaha, you all have to die today!"
The insects swarmed in and pounced on the monks. Even if they used their spiritual power to strangle them, they still entangled with them.
Soon, their spiritual power rapidly faded until they were in the early stages of Qi training and were beaten to death by Jiang Yang's whip.
The battle was over and all the cultivators were dead. After Jiang Yang put the insects back into the spirit beast bag, he stepped forward to collect all their storage bags and magic weapons, released a cluster of flames, and threw them on several people.
Watching the raging fire engulf the corpse, Jiang Yang laughed wildly, "A bunch of idiots, they were protected too well by the Wen family, they deserved to die!"
After watching this scene, Xu Hui felt a chill in her heart and became even more determined to be cautious. This world of cultivation was too dangerous. She knew nothing about anything now. If she met such a person, she would only wait for death. Those methods were really hard to guard against.
That’s not right. She saw Jiang Yang walking around, as if he was trying to break the formation. Suddenly, she thought of something. It seemed that her knowledge of formations was quite good?
As he thought about this, some knowledge emerged in his mind. Xu Hui immediately made a hand gesture and quietly changed the trapping formation into a killing formation.
