Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 71: Zhuya Market
Looking at the green snake Gu carefully, Ji Chang was quite excited.

In his opinion, this Green Scale Gu was quite similar to the Green Snake Gu he had refined. Both were green in color and small in size, and could also emit poisonous mist and corrode everything.

But there is a big difference in power between the two.

Although his green snake Gu can also emit poisonous fog, the range of the poisonous fog can only cover a few acres of land at most.

However, the Green Scale Gu in front of him could easily cover the entire Zhuya Market in a dark green poisonous fog.

You know, this Zhuya Market is different from Cangyu Market.

Although both are called market towns, Cangyu Market Town cannot compare with Zhuya Market Town in terms of area, size, or spiritual vein grade.

"But Zhuya Market is located on a second-level spiritual vein, protected by a second-level magic array, and guarded by a foundation-building cultivator. How could it be breached so easily?"

Ji Chang showed some confusion on his face.

Although the poisonous mist exhaled by his green snake Gu has the effect of corroding the restrictions of the formation.

The same should be true for the Green Scale Gu in Chen Biqi's hand.

However, this type of poisonous insect is not specifically designed to target the prohibitions of formations, so its effect is not that outstanding.

How could it be so easy to completely corrode the restrictions of the formation?

Furthermore, the formations arranged around the market town rely on the spiritual veins and have a constant supply of spiritual energy. Even if the formations are damaged, they can be repaired.

The speed at which the poisonous fog corrodes the formation may not necessarily be faster than the speed at which the formation is repaired.

In addition, there are foundation-building monks sitting here to control the formation of the market town.

Logically, it shouldn't be that easy to break through.

Could it be that Chen Biqi sneaked into the market town, suddenly took action, and killed the foundation-building cultivator who was in charge of the place before the formation was fully activated?
Ji Chang guessed this in his heart.

At this moment, the dark green mist shrouding the Zhuya Market was completely swallowed up by the green-scaled Gu in Chen Biqi's hand.

Chen Biqi was wearing a dark green robe, floating quietly in the air. With a slight wave of his sleeves, the terrifying Green Scale Gu instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"You still won't take action?"

Chen Biqi glanced at the group of Chen family monks outside the market and said in a cold voice.

The group of monks woke up as if from a dream upon hearing this, and rushed into the Zhuya market.

However, when they actually stepped into the market town, they were horrified by the dead silence of the place.

The streets were deserted, with only the storage bags, robes and magical instruments scattered on the ground, glowing with spiritual light, silently telling us that there had been monks here not long ago.

The cultivator leading the Chen family team was Chen Qianzhou, the head of Cangyu Market. He frowned, looked around, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"Everyone, please be careful. Perhaps there are some fish that have slipped through the net and used formations and magic tools to evade the ancestor's magical power."

Upon hearing this, all the monks nodded to show that they understood.

This kind of work, which only requires sweeping and cleaning, involves almost no danger and should make the Chen family monks happy.

However, walking in the dead silent market town, all the cultivators of the Chen family were shrouded in a depressing and tense atmosphere.

Even though the poisonous fog had dissipated and the sun was shining into the market town, there seemed to be a gloomy haze in everyone's hearts.

Looking at the Chen family monks who were cleaning the market town in the picture, Ji Chang's heart was filled with fear.

"Those dead monks seemed to have died without any resistance at all." "How terrifying is the strength of the foundation-building monks?"

It was not until now that he truly realized the huge gap between the Foundation Establishment cultivators and the Qi Refining cultivators. It was not just a difference in cultivation and magic power, but also a fundamental transformation.

"Just one person destroyed the entire Zhuya Market..."

Ji Chang's heart was filled with shock and powerlessness.

You know, even in a market like Cangyu Market, which is built on a first-level spiritual vein, there are many cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Then, in Zhuya Market, a market built on a second-level spiritual vein, there must be more cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

But even the late Qi Refining cultivator who was closest to the Foundation Establishment cultivator seemed to have no power to resist Chen Biqi, a true Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Killing enemies across levels? That seemed to be just an unrealistic fantasy of his.

In front of a true Foundation Establishment cultivator, the power of a Qi Refining cultivator seems so insignificant, one could even say it is extremely fragile.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Ji Chang's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, his gaze wandered around the screen, and finally stopped on an unusual object.

Not far in front of Chen Yinghu, a skeleton was half-buried in the ruins, with some broken flesh and blood hanging on it, which made it particularly eye-catching.

"This is?"

Chen Yinghu also noticed the skeleton. He was slightly stunned. Obviously, he did not expect to see such a scene here.

He frowned and walked towards the skeleton, as if he wanted to take a closer look.

At the same time, Chen Qianzhou, who was standing next to Chen Yinghu, also discovered the skeleton.

A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the skeleton for a moment, then slowly explained: "This person should have been a body cultivator in his lifetime. Judging from the toughness of this skeleton, I'm afraid only a body cultivator can withstand the aftermath of the ancestor's magical power."

After hearing Chen Qianzhou's explanation, Ji Chang couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Is this what you call being able to bear it?"

His eyes fell on the almost fleshless skeleton again, and a chill ran through his heart.

However, compared with other monks whose bodies were completely gone, the remains of this monk were indeed quite well preserved.

As Chen Qianzhou spoke, he walked towards the skeleton.

He walked up to the skeleton, lowered his head to look at it carefully, then raised his hand and waved it. A stream of magic power rolled up the skeleton and put it into his storage bag.

As he collected the skeleton, he continued, "Although only the skeleton remains of this kind of body refinement cultivator, it is still a good spiritual material. If we take it back and refine it a little, it may be of great use."

Ji Chang looked at Chen Qianzhou's actions and couldn't help feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Just like the body of a monster after death can be used to refine weapons and elixirs, the body of a cultivator after death also has considerable value.

However, except for those cultivators who specialize in body refining or those who have practiced special methods, the bodies of most cultivators in the Qi refining stage can only be regarded as basic spiritual objects of low grade after death, and their value is extremely limited.

Unless they are like the disciples of Huangquan Sect, who possess the inheritance of the corpse way, most cultivators would not use the bodies of ordinary Qi-refining cultivators.

After all, for most cultivators, using the bodies of their own kind to make medicine or refine weapons is difficult to accept.

Ji Chang took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and then continued to pay attention to other situations in the picture.
