The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 90: Foundation Building Master

"My fellow Taoists, please be patient and listen to what I have to say."

As Yun Ling finished his words, the noisy voices gradually died down, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

"My fellow Taoists, please be at ease. This trip is to Zhongzhou." Yun Ling spoke, reassuring everyone before continuing, "But the journey is dangerous. Monsters are rampant in this lonely mountain range, and there are also ancient formations left in it. If you are not careful, you will be trapped in it. With our abilities, we can't get out at all, so the flying boat can't pass through directly."

Hearing this, everyone immediately started talking, and someone even asked loudly, "Young Master Yun, if what you said is true, then won't our trip be in vain?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking again, and some people were so anxious that they couldn't help but ask questions.

"Yes, Young Master Yun, you promised us that you would come to Zhongzhou, but now..."

"Young Master Yun, how should we deal with this? Do we really have to go back the same way?"

"Yes!"

"Young Master Yun..."

Seeing that everyone was starting to get noisy, Yun Ling smiled, raised his hand gently, and the scene instantly became quiet. Everyone was waiting for him to speak.

Yun Ling smiled and said, "Don't panic, fellow Taoists. Since our Yun family has promised you, we will not break our promise."

He glanced around and continued, "I guess this is your first time entering Zhongzhou and you don't know the secrets. The Youji Mountains are full of dangers. No matter my Yun family or the Wang family of Biluo City, we dare not take risks. Therefore, we have set up a large formation on the outskirts of the Youji Mountains to safely pass through the center of the mountains. If there is no such formation, I'm afraid that even a Jindan Zhenren would not be able to leave the center of the Youji Mountains safely."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that they must have reached the range of the formation, so they stopped the flying boat.

Gu Nian, who was at the end of the crowd, also nodded slightly. This made sense.

But there is one thing I have never figured out.

The Yun family controls a road to Zhongzhou. Why don't they charge exorbitant fees like the Wang family to make profits, but instead spend a lot of money to let them act as protectors?

A road to wealth is right before my eyes. If I use it a little, I will have a steady stream of spiritual stones in my storage...

This made Gu Nian very puzzled.

When Yun Ling first told her about this, she had some concerns, but because she really wanted to leave Nanzhou as soon as possible and was reluctant to part with so many spirit stones, she agreed.

But the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Just when Gu Nian's mind was in a mess, he heard Yun Ling's voice again.

"Monster beasts are rampant in the Youji Mountains. Although my Yun family controls a large formation leading to Zhongzhou, we dare not travel casually. Moreover, the large formation controlled by my Yun family is incomplete. If we want to fully activate the formation, it will take some time. I hope you can wait for a day or two."

As soon as Yun Ling finished speaking, before everyone could have any doubts, a burly figure in a black robe came from behind. When Yun Ling saw the person, he immediately bowed and saluted respectfully.

"I've met my third uncle!"

"Ah."

His face could not be seen under the black robe, but his voice was deep and powerful, and a faint aura emanated from him, pressing down on everyone, shocking them for a moment.

Foundation-building monk!

Feeling this inexplicable pressure, everyone fell silent, even their breathing became rapid, their legs trembled, and those with lower cultivation levels broke out in cold sweats.

Gu Nian also felt a lot of pressure.

This feeling of being seen through made her very uncomfortable, as if she had no secrets at all. She really didn't like this feeling.

Gu Nian tried to spread her spiritual sense to block it, but as soon as her spiritual sense spread out less than an inch, it was like hitting a copper wall and iron wall, making her face pale. Gu Nian raised her head suddenly, her pale face was full of shock, and beads of sweat kept sliding down her cheeks.

The people around her were in the same condition as her. Some of them were even lying facedown on the ground with a little blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.

Is this the powerful foundation-building master?

Not only Gu Nian was frightened, but everyone present had a solemn expression, with strange emotions in their eyes, such as fear, unwillingness, and anger.

"Uncle San! What do you mean? These are all guests escorting my Yun family. Don't mess around!"

Just when everyone was about to reach their limit, Yun Ling's voice rang out, and then the pressure suddenly receded like a tide, causing everyone to relax.

The scene then fell into absolute silence, with only a few heavy gasps being heard.

"Hmph!" A low, cold snort came from under the black robe, and he said with a hint of meaning: "If they want to be the guardian of my Yun family, it depends on whether they are qualified."

When these words were spoken, everyone almost instinctively felt a cold gaze sweeping over them.

"Uncle San, you can't do this!" Yun Ling said immediately, "Father has ordered that we need to rely on you to protect us during this trip to Zhongzhou. We need to treat you with courtesy!"

The man in black robe remained silent.

Seeing this, Yun Ling could not continue to speak, so she had to bow and apologize to everyone, "Please don't blame me, my uncle has always had a strange temper. Yun Ling apologizes to everyone on behalf of my uncle! After arriving in Zhongzhou, the fee will increase again! Of course, this trip to Zhongzhou still requires the joint efforts of everyone to activate the formation. It is nothing but a foolish dream to want to activate the formation with my meager strength."

After hearing this, many people's expressions finally looked better, but there were still many people glaring at them.

They felt unfair, because many of them were personally invited by Yun Ling, the young master of the Yun family, to agree to be the protectors of the Yun family, but now they were being humiliated in public!

How can it be fun?

Those who can embark on the path of cultivating immortals are all outstanding talents, one in a million. Now they are being humiliated like this, how can they not be angry?

But more people know that the world of immortal cultivation is not the mundane world, and they always understand that strength is respected.

If others are strong, black can also be white; if you are strong, east can also be west.

This is the truth.

Obviously, most of those who were indignant at this time were people who had just entered the world of immortal cultivation and did not understand the reason.

Gu Nian took in everyone's expressions and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

At this time, Yun Ling spoke again: "My fellow Taoists, please go back and rest first. I will come to inform you when the formation is opened, but..."

He suddenly paused, glanced at everyone with a half-smile, and said, "We still need ten people to help activate the formation. I wonder if there are any Taoist friends who can help me. As for the rewards, I will definitely not let you down..."

After these words were spoken, the scene was quiet for a moment, and then dozens of people spoke up.

"Young Master Yun, I am willing to go!"

"Master Yun, I can do that too!"

"Me too!"

"..."

Seeing so many people willing to go, Yun Ling smiled and said, "Thank you all for your help."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and quickly selected ten people. Then he said to those who were not selected, "I have taken note of your enthusiasm, but the number of people is full. Please go back and rest for a while."
