Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 343 Settlement
A few handymen were laughing and joking below, which was nothing formal, in stark contrast to the tenants wiping their tears in the fields.

Lu Ye watched all over the sky.

It seems that the quiet place in Buddhism is not peaceful at all. It is full of filth. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is naturally crooked.

These handymen all have bulging temples and full of energy. They move cleanly and neatly. They can control horses effortlessly with just their legs. Each one of them has the skills of a great martial arts master in the world.

Lu Ye snorted coldly. He came here to find a wife, but when he encountered someone else's wife being robbed - well, even the wife's man was robbed.

Can he tolerate this?
He pressed down in the air, and immediately several mana fluctuations fell down silently.

The handymen were talking and joking when they suddenly felt a gentle breeze blowing through them, making their waists feel numb. After the numbness passed, there was no reaction.

A few people didn't take it seriously. They spurred their horses and whips, and ran away in great joy.

They didn't know that the breeze was mixed with fine mana, and in each of their two waists, there were fine needles condensed with mana stirring back and forth.

After an hour or two, they will find that after taking off their belts and looking beautiful, they no longer have the ability to bother.

Halfway through the month, he will urinate blood. By the end of the first month, he will be bedridden with black and swollen kidneys. Then he will stay in bed for several months, and finally he will be suffocated to death by urination.

Lu Ye didn't use thunder to get rid of this person because he didn't want the peasant women and farmers they plundered to suffer, nor did he want to alert the monks immediately.

If we change the place and give each of them a bolt of lightning to help them achieve enlightenment immediately, then they can only use the slow method of cutting their flesh with blunt knives, which will hurt just as much, but they will not die happily.

Disciples like these handymen can be powerful and domineering in front of ordinary farmers, but in the sect, they are not even disciples, and their status is low.

Lu Ye has stayed in Xuanmo Sect for ten years, and he is very clear about the sect's arrangements for these handymen. As long as they don't die immediately, no matter how seriously ill they are, most of them will not attract attention. Anyway, the servants without spiritual roots will die endlessly. , just call him again after he dies.

After dealing with these people, Lu Ye didn't hesitate anymore and ran forward with lightning speed, quickly passing through these big cities.

Behind the city is a majestic mountain.

When people are in the air, they smell the strong scent of sandalwood.

I saw that the top of this large mountain several hundred feet high had been flattened by monks in a big way, and various Buddhist temple buildings were scattered on it.

Among the many Buddhist halls, there are hundreds of warrior monks in the lower courtyard wearing iron armor and holding long soldiers. They are lined up in a queue and their killing sounds are soaring to the sky. They must be people working in the field.

There are also monks who exhale spiritual energy in the air and create various strange images above their heads. Some have lotus flowers falling from the sky, and some form a spiritual mountain behind their heads, with gods and Buddhas looming on top.

In addition, the entire building is protected by a thin golden light, which is the protective array of Tianlun Sect.

At the foot of this mountain, there is a bustling market. In addition to many monks and nuns walking around, there are also many casual practitioners living in it.

Lu Ye only looked at it from a distance, and without daring to look further, the clouds lowered.

There is a powerful golden elixir in this sect, and the range of its spiritual consciousness is far beyond that of the foundation-building monks, reaching up to a hundred feet away. With the help of the sect's formation, it may be possible to detect further.

By the time he descended from the sky, he was already outside Fangshi.

The gate of this city has the word "wenxin" on it. It is called "wenxinfang" and is managed by the Tianlun Sect.

Tianlun Sect is the only major Jindan sect in the north of the mountain. The city under its rule is like a small city, several times larger than Linyunfang City.

Lu Ye was wearing a hooded cloak and striding towards the door. At this time, he had slender eyes, a long face and a beard. He had the appearance of Ling Yuangou who showed off his talents in the secret realm of the black cave.

In front of the gate, there was a monk in yellow robes, sitting on a recliner with his eyes narrowed and his legs crossed, with two baskets in front of him.

One basket contains spiritual stones, and one basket contains gold and silver.

If a monk enters the market, each person needs to hand over a spiritual stone; if a mortal enters the market, they need to hand over gold and silver.

In addition, there were several monks holding iron Zen staffs, standing crookedly outside the gate of Fangshi with playful smiles, talking about where to drink, eat meat and find female Bodhisattva to preach Buddhism after their shift.

This is a paid card, and as long as you have spiritual stones and gold and silver, you can enter. Lu Ye noticed that these guards did not even ask about the identity, place, purpose, etc. of the people entering the city.

Perhaps this is the absolute confidence of the Jindan sect.

Lu Ye followed the team, handed over the spirit stone as usual and entered the city smoothly.

He sighed in his heart - the price of a spirit stone is several times higher than that in Linyunfang City. What a profiteer!

The yellow-robed monk squinted his eyes and seemed to be asleep. Lu Ye passed by him, but the other party didn't react at all.

Lu Ye restrained his magical aura and was only in the late stage of Qi training, so he was not conspicuous at all among the monks who entered the city.

After entering Fangshi.

The noise was coming, it was so lively.

Lu Ye only glanced at it and felt that time and space were out of order, as if he had returned to Heikokufang City, which was controlled by Gujianzhuang and Baihemen when he escaped from Heikoku Mountain.

The streets were crowded with pedestrians, rubbing shoulders with each other.

The most numerous are monks and nuns. The robes of these monks and nuns are all embroidered with a round wheel of different colors, which is the symbol of the Tianlun Sect.

In addition, the largest number of casual cultivators are dressed in different styles. This is the north of the mountain and has been included in Beishazhou. Therefore, many casual cultivators wear high-crown robes that are very different from those in Dazhongzhou. Most of them wear arrow uniforms.

Lu Ye also saw several blond and blue-eyed human beings, who should be from Xizhou. Who knows how they traveled tens of thousands of miles to get here.

Apart from the monks, the most numerous ones are the demon clan children.

What is different from Heikufang City is that the demon clan children here all walk with their heads held high, unlike the demon clan in Black Kufang City who are cautious.

From here, we can also see that the demon clan in Beishazhou is powerful and should not be underestimated.

In addition, as Baian remembers, many monks and nuns of the Tianlun Sect are the transformed human forms of the demon clan.

There are even many human disciples riding monsters as mounts.

It is said that the head of the Tianlun Sect, Monk Huiding, had a Foundation-Building Demon pet lion as his mount, and naturally all his disciples imitated it.

Except for the busy flow of people on the street.

The shops on both sides are also very dense and prosperous. In addition to the mainstream shops selling various immortality materials in the market, there are many more restaurants, restaurants and gold-selling caves here than in other markets in Huangsha Mountain.

It seems that the spending power of the monks and nuns of the Tianlun Sect is far greater than that of ordinary monks.

Just seeing many flower monks going in and out of the wine shop, the brothel always felt a little inconsistent.

Luye pondered.

That Baiye Buddha should not go to Dazhong Continent to experience the world of mortals. As long as he stayed in Wenxinfang City at the foot of the Tianlun Sect Mountain for a year and a half, he would have passed the world of mortals.

With Ling Yuandou's face in his face, he walked around the market several times and finally found an alley where casual cultivators gathered to set up stalls.

This alley is about two feet wide and more than ten feet long. It is crowded with people and looks very lively.

On both sides of the alley, there are many casual cultivators who have left their furoshiki on the ground, with some elixirs, talismans and materials on them for sale.

There is also a yellow-robed monk at the entrance of the alley. He has a fat head and big ears, a bare chest, a belly as big as a bucket, and black chest hair on it. The breath of his power seems to be someone who has been practicing in the middle stage of Qi training. He is taking a nap with his eyes closed, and he is snoring. Lei, he smelled strongly of alcohol and powder.

Lu Ye's eyes lit up and he moved closer.

This seems to be a managed stall market, which is suitable for retail investors who cannot afford to rent a shop. They can trade with confidence and safety is guaranteed.

He went over and coughed.

"This master, master? Master?"

Lu Ye's voice gradually increased, but Master Naihe slept more and more soundly, and his snoring increased by two tones.

Helpless, Lu Ye could only release the fluctuations of his late-stage qi-training magic power.

"Yeah!" The monk felt a surge of magic power coming towards him and opened his eyes angrily, "Who disturbed the Buddha's sleep?"

When he opened his eyes and saw Lu Ye, he snorted, but his attitude was still arrogant.

"You want to go in and set up a stall? It's a spiritual stone for a month. If you go in and stay for a day, it's still a spiritual stone. You won't get change if you don't return, do you understand?"

"In addition, no matter how much is sold every day, you have to pay a hundred and fifty commission. Even if you don't open for a day, you still have to pay a spiritual crystal. You can never pay it on credit!"

"If you think the conditions are acceptable, just hand over the spirit stone quickly and don't disturb Buddha's sleep!"

Lu Zhiyong cursed a black shop.

This monk is backed by the Tianlun Sect and has no respect at all for the monk whose magical power is obviously stronger than his.

Lu Ye flicked his fingers and decided to use a special skill.

I saw two spiritual stones falling on the belly of the fat-headed and big-eared monk. The collision of the spiritual stones made a sweet sound.

The fat monk let out a sigh, and put the spirit stone into his bag with a single move of his extremely flexible hands. He jerked upright, ignoring the sound of the chair under his butt squeaking under the weight of the weight.

With a smile on his face, he nodded and bowed.

"Fellow Taoist, come on, come on, I'll take you inside and find a good place for you."

"Don't worry, I won't accept your spirit stone for nothing. If you have bad luck in this alley one day, you don't need to hand over the spirit stone anymore."

The fat monk curved his way ahead, and when he entered the alley, he found the bustling area in the middle.

There are two stalls here. On the left is a veteran selling elixirs, and on the right is a somewhat colorful Kun cultivator selling some materials for refining weapons.

The monk changed his face again, kicked the corner of the stall roughly, and said arrogantly.

"Make room to the left and right to make room."

Lao Tao and Kun Xiu couldn't afford to offend them, so they reluctantly gave up the two stalls to the side, and at the same time shouted to the Taoist Taoist next to them to give way.

Like the undulation of waves, several stall owners around were not surprised and quickly got up and moved to the surroundings.

Soon, a space more than half a foot wide was made available in the center, which was considered a large stall in this alley.

"Fellow Taoist," the fat monk turned around and smiled with a smile on his face, "You can settle down here!"

"The poor monk Zhenjin is responsible for the management of this alley. If you have any trivial matters, you can come to see the young monk!"

Lu Ye smiled and nodded and said a few polite words.

Then Shi Shiran sat down in the vacant seat, fiddled with a piece of furoshiki in his storage bag, and took out some talismans to place them out. Now he was out of the stall.

"Brother, what do you call me? You look familiar. Do you have any connections in the sect?" The old man selling elixirs next to him immediately came over with a smile on his face, "That Zhenjin Monk is not a genial one. People are rarely so warm to people.”

"Yes, we will be neighbors from now on, so please take care of us!" The female cultivator selling materials on the other side also winked at Lu Ye and leaned over with a scent.

The two of them reported their names, the old Taoist was named Dan Yuanzi, and Kun Xiu was named Su Li.

Lu Ye smiled.

"Easy to say, easy to say, my little brother's last name is enough."

"It doesn't matter in the sect, but I just handed over an extra spiritual stone to Monk Zhenjin!"

Dan Yuanzi and Su Li did not expect the newcomer Ling Yuangou to use such an unpretentious method, and their faces immediately lost some enthusiasm.

Bah, isn't this a case of being taken advantage of?
Luye said again.

"Monk Zhenjin is a bit rude. I am very uneasy because my stall occupies the space of two close neighbors." "Why don't I host you tonight and treat you two to a drink?"

Their eyes lit up and they immediately became more enthusiastic.

One afternoon, Lu Ye randomly sold some talismans.

As a second-level talisman master, the talismans he makes are of course of high quality, so they sell well.

Looking around, no matter whether the transaction is good or not, there is always a deal.

He cursed the real gold monk a few more words in his mind, setting up a stall in this alley, how clumsy it would be to not open a single order, and to show his love to the other person without wasting any money and making promises.

Lu Ye, Dan Yuanzi, and Su Li also spent half a day getting to know each other.

It turns out that Wenxinfang Market is backed by the Tianlun Sect, with sufficient foot traffic and a large number of casual cultivators. These casual cultivators can make more money by setting up street stalls than in other markets.

It's just that the monks have to take a commission from the daily transactions. The Tianlun Sect obviously doesn't have this rule. Those spiritual stones have gone into the pockets of the monks. Everyone is a little heartbroken, but there is nothing they can do.

Lu Ye asked the two of them for advice again and found out that there was a cave in Fang City for rent, which was suitable for a stay.

In the afternoon, he asked the two of them to help look after the stall, and he went out to find the real gold monk for help and rented a cave.

In the evening, when he was a host at Fengyan House, Dan Yuanzi and Su Li were treated to a feast, and the two of them smiled at him even more sincerely.

Lu Ye made up his identity, only saying that he was from Pakistan, traveling around, looking for suitable opportunities to break through and build the foundation.

Dan Yuanzi and Su Li secretly laughed at this fellow Taoist who made his face look fat. As a casual cultivator, he was able to reach the Great Perfection of Qi training in one go. The only way to save spiritual stones and buy foundation-building elixirs was to make the monks talk about it in the late stages of Qi training. What an opportunity or not.

Both of them are natives of Shanbei and people from Beishazhou. Both of them are in the late stages of Qi training.

Dan Yuanzi is a lonely man, nearly a hundred years old, with no hope of breaking through the foundation building. He relies on practicing elixirs to accumulate spiritual stones, hoping to collect a large amount of spiritual stones to send his grandson to the mountain to become a monk.

Su Li, on the other hand, was a pretty widow who once had a Taoist companion, but her boyfriend offended a great monk from the Tianlun Sect when she went out one day and was beheaded with a sword.

She restrained her body and gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes but still persisted in pursuing a life in the market. When talking about the Tianlun Sect, there was always a trace of resentment in her eyes that could not be erased.

Time flies by in such a few days.

Lu Ye had already taken root in the market. He set up a stall in the alley every day, chatted with Dan Yuanzi and Su Li, and got a lot of gossip about the Tianlun Sect.

The current head of the Tianlun Sect is Master Huiding, a middle-level Jindan master. He has been the head for more than two hundred years. There is also an elder in the sect who has been in seclusion all year round. It is rumored that he has reached the late stage of Jindan. , in the process of hitting the golden elixir full period state, I want to cultivate into Nascent Soul.

There are more than twenty foundation-building monks inside the gate, which can be regarded as the backbone.

Among them, the "young" and promising disciples who still hope to achieve the golden elixir are considered true disciples or inner disciples.

Those who have exhausted their potential as they grow older are considered outer sect elders.

Master Sanhei is such an outer sect elder. She has reached the stage of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen and has little hope of attacking the Golden Core. She is the leader of the female nuns in the sect and can be regarded as a top figure in Tianlun Sect.

Dan Yuanzi and Su Li knew all the important figures in the sect and knew them all.

Because when doing business in the market, one must be bright-eyed and must not offend the powerful monks or nuns in the sect.

Half a month passed in a hurry, and he left the cave as usual and set up a stall.

The real gold monk was still guarding the alley, and the fat monk was still sleeping soundly. He was on duty during the day, and at night he would spend the day and night, either in a restaurant or in a brothel.

Looking at the rouge lips on his forehead and the black and blue bags under his eyes, he knew that the battle last night was fierce and he would probably sleep peacefully all day long.

Lu Ye passed by him and walked into the alley leisurely.

It was still early, and all the people who came were casual cultivators setting up stalls. He nodded politely to a few people he met, and everyone smiled and said hello.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, are you here? Morning!"

"Fellow Taoist, I found a good talisman pen here. When we leave today, you can come and taste it. If you need it, I'll sell it to you at a cheap price!"

Half a month was enough for Lu Ye to become familiar with everyone, and there were even wild demon girls who winked at Lu Ye.

Everyone knows that fellow Taoist Ling, although he has a long face, is easy to talk to, can draw talismans well, earns a lot of spiritual stones, and is willing to give preferential treatment to his colleagues. He is a talisman maker with a good future.

Waiting for Lu Ye to say hello all the way to his stall.

Dan Yuanzi and Su Li had already set up their stalls.

"Fellow Taoist Master," Su Li enthusiastically handed over a warm lotus leaf package, "this is a meat bun made by my family."

"It's made of spiritual rice as the skin and mixed with deer demon meat as a stuffing. Can you try it?"

Lu Ye took it and smiled and said thank you.

Next to him, Dan Yuanzi suddenly stuck his head out and said that the old man also needed to be replenished.

Su Lixing's eyes widened, and she scolded fiercely: "What supplements do you need, you old man?"

The relationship between the two is very good, Su Li dares to scold, and Dan Yuanzi is not angry. He laughs that the Taoist will be worthless when he gets old.

Lu Ye slowly gnawed on the buns, which tasted pretty good.

During this period, Su Li left for something, and Dan Yuanzi came over and whispered.

"Fellow Daoist, I shouldn't gossip about people behind their backs."

"Fellow Daoist Su is naturally good, but her obsession is still there and her intentions are very big. You'd better keep a distance."

"Otherwise, it will harm you and her!"

Lu Ye smiled and thanked him. He knew that Su Li wanted to take revenge, and the other party was a Zhenzi Qi-practicing Dzogchen monk, so he wanted to find a Taoist companion to help him live together.

He himself had a secret, so he ate the buns, but Su Li couldn't mess with him.

Of course, buns can't be eaten for free. If you encounter Su Li's enemy one day, just get rid of him easily.

By the time the sun was up, Lu Ye had already placed a few orders, so he asked Dan Yuanzi and Su Li to look at the store and left the alley.

Anyway, those talismans were very easy to sell, so it made no difference whether he was there or not. He had better take the time to visit the market and get familiar with the local areas, so that he might be able to use them in the future.

In addition, maybe we can meet Fu Ronger and Sister Hong in the market?

He had hope in his heart.

Of course, Lu Ye was not just wandering around. During this period, he also did something serious. He found a professional weapon refiner to repair the long bloody stick and the damaged blood flag.

He had all the materials, but after all, he was minoring in talismans, not weapon refining, so he couldn't do it himself, so he had to find a real weapon refining master.

Lu Ye turned left and right and arrived at a shop with the name Qingshan Pavilion written on it. It was a shop that all the cultivators unanimously recognized as powerful and with a mysterious background. It was a place where even foundation-building treasures and techniques could be sold openly.

There is a second-level weapon refiner in this shop.

At this time, he ordered Yuan Guo to have a magical mask on his human skin face, which would be shattered if someone's spiritual consciousness probed it. The magical aura on his body was still the aura of the late stage of Qi training.

He entered the store, took out a jade plaque issued by the store, and waved it at the waiter who came up to him.

"I'm here to pick up the things that were delivered ten days ago."

When the other party saw him, he hurriedly invited him into the private room.

After a while, the shopkeeper entered the private room with a long iron box and said with a smile, "Guest, what you want has been repaired. It is made by Master Mo in our shop. It is absolutely exquisite."

I saw the shopkeeper taking out a long piece of spiritual soldiers from the iron box, which was the blood flag in the hands of the people on the Blood River.

The long pole and the damaged blood flag were once again integrated, and the big hole in the flag that was violently broken by Mo Ruyan has been repaired.

Lu Ye took it and shook it gently, and felt the pungent smell of blood coming from the private room. The magic power was running smoothly inside, leaving a forbidden mark easily.

He explored it again with his spiritual consciousness, frowned, chuckled, and handed over a thousand spirit stones, clearing both parties' property.

After Lu Ye leaves.

Another person came in outside the private room, it was Master Mo with a long beard.

The shopkeeper stood up quickly and called Master Mo.

Master Mo asked with a smile.

"The fat sheep is gone? I have repaired the foundation-building treasure weapon with all my heart, but I left a hidden hand in the flag. Unless you have an intermediate foundation-building cultivation level, you can use your spiritual sense to detect it and point out the location."

"This fat sheep is generous, and the treasure weapon is used by the demon sect. It must not be the right way. If you kill him, you don't have to worry about causing disaster."

The shopkeeper said worriedly.

"There's just one thing. I'm afraid that this person is a Foundation Establishment monk in disguise."

"Besides, I'm always worried that the car will overturn and damage the store's signboard. The people from the headquarters will not let us go."

Master Mo laughed.

"Don't worry, if you are not above the intermediate level of foundation building, it will be difficult to find my hidden hand, and it will be even harder to break it. How can it be such a coincidence? I think he is at most a junior foundation building monk who came from a casual cultivator. He is no match for you and me. Two people..."

"The old rule is, after you get it, you and I will be together, and when the inspection envoy from the headquarters comes, we can share some of it with him."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly spit out blood and his face turned gray.

The shopkeeper hurriedly helped him.

"Master Mo, what's wrong?"

Master Mo's lips were trembling and his face was bloodless.

"That guy...that person...that...he actually broke my secret plan!"

"We're afraid we're going to be doomed!"

The shopkeeper suddenly sat down on the ground.

It's over. As long as this matter spreads out, it will destroy the shop's sign. The inspection envoy from the headquarters will definitely not let them go.

"I'll go find him!"

The shopkeeper jumped up and ran out without even bothering to help Master Mo.

He didn't want to silence him, but wanted to negotiate a price and see how much blood could be used to erase the matter.

But when I ran out of the shop, the streets were crowded with people. Where was the shadow of the monk just now?
The shopkeeper groaned, swayed, and sat down in the middle of the street, sweating like rain.

A few streets away, Lu Ye walked with his hands behind his back and a sneer on his lips.

It was absolutely unthinkable that the shop was big enough to deceive customers. If he hadn't used the Lotus Seat Technique to scan the flags, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

Let me teach you a small lesson today, and I will try to regain my position in the future if I have the opportunity.

He walked slowly, his eyes casually scanning the streets on both sides. Suddenly he saw a figure in the crowd, and his whole body was shocked...
