Chapter 708: Follow the Local Customs and Kill Immortals

In the elegant room of Baoge.

Yu Lie pondered for a long time. He wanted to ask the person in front of him about the specific ways to join the Lingbao Immortal Sect and obtain the skills.

But just as he was about to speak, he suppressed the thought.

Although Yu Lie came here in disguise today and the other party was unsure of his identity, he could not reveal too much of his intentions now.

Yu Lie then said: "In this case, I will not expect to buy the skills.

"Sir, may I ask if there is any medicine in your pavilion that can make people stay young forever, or even turn back the aging process?"

The female fairy looked at Yu Lie in surprise, as if she had not expected Yu Lie to change the subject and suddenly ask about this.

She muttered in her heart: "Looking at this person's behavior, he seems to be a man. Why is he thinking about buying some elixir of eternal youth? Could it be that I was wrong and this person is actually a female Taoist?"

Yu Lie explained, "My cultivation is slow, and my age and appearance have aged a lot now. I have to prepare early, otherwise this body will age and wither before long, and I will have to reincarnate."

A smile appeared on the face of the female immortal. She was no longer surprised. She immediately took out another booklet from her hand and handed it to Yu Lie:

“In this volume are the fourth-grade and above elixirs in this pavilion. Many of them have the effect of nourishing the skin.

The book has a relatively detailed introduction, including the origin of the pills and who made them. You can make your own choice, fellow Taoist."

Yu Lie nodded calmly, then flipped through the booklet of pills.

But after only looking at it for a while, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he whispered:

"I won't hide it from you, fellow Daoist. I am indeed a newcomer here. I didn't expect that elixirs above the fourth grade would be so expensive.

All those who are worthy of my attention are actually those who possess the aura of immortality."

There was no coldness on the fairy's face; she was still very enthusiastic.

She thought to herself, "Although this man is a newcomer and looks like a country bumpkin, he specifically asked for immortal skills and only wanted the best fourth-grade elixirs. He must be an immortal.

The total number of immortals in the market is less than one thousand. I can't turn away such a new customer. He may become a regular customer in the future."

The fairy chuckled and whispered:

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Our Treasure Pavilion not only sells goods, but also collects goods. If you have any good things, you can give them to our Treasure Pavilion for processing.

If it is a rare item, don't worry that we will cheat you. We can put it up for auction."

The woman said calmly, "Our pavilion has no less than 300 immortal-level regular customers every year. This is a real number, not an imaginary number. Therefore, our treasure pavilion will hold auctions from time to time. Even the disciples of the Lingbao Immortal Sect often ask our pavilion to handle some goods."

Yu Lie nodded in agreement.

He came to this shop today mainly to negotiate, so he had naturally inquired about it beforehand.

However, Yu Lie did not follow this person's words. Even if he wanted to sell something, it would not be today.

Immediately, Yu Lie frowned and changed the subject: "By the way, may I ask if your pavilion has any medicinal herbs that can help people maintain their beauty forever?

Compared to finished pills, medicinal materials must be much cheaper, right?"

When the female immortal heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Hey, this fellow Taoist, could it be that he is an expert in alchemy?"

Yu Lie smiled but said nothing.

Not long after.

The female immortal personally escorted Yu Lie out of the gate of Wanjing Treasure Pavilion.

Although Yu Lie still didn't buy anything and didn't sell anything, the people in this pavilion were still warm and hospitable, and there was no annoying condescending behavior like in small shops.

The female immortal even wanted to finalize a deal with Yu Lie, asking Yu Lie to help her shop refine pills. The price and other things were negotiable, and she could purchase the herbs herself or sell them at the internal price.

Of course, if this is the case, Yu Lie will naturally show his skills and face many rules and regulations. Therefore, when faced with the temptation of Wanjing Baoge, he just smiled and said nothing.

After leaving the shop, Yu Lie did not return to Xia Xian's tavern, but continued to stroll in the market, inquiring for information, and also went to several other shops to inquire about the news.

About three days later.

Regarding the cultivation techniques in the ancient immortal realm, Yu Lie has already determined that all the cultivation methods above the immortal level are monopolized by the Lingbao Immortal Sect.

Even if they leave the territory of Lingbao Immortal Sect and go to other areas, the immortal sects in other territories will treat the market immortals under their jurisdiction in the same way.

For this reason, among the four immortal realms occupied by this ancient cultivator, the immortal sects only include Lingbao, Taiyin and other ten directions. All other Taoist sects are below the level of immortals, and at most can cultivate human immortals or ghost immortals equivalent to the level of scattered immortals in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

In other words, if Yu Lie wanted to obtain the methods used by the ancient cultivators to cultivate to become a true immortal, he must first join an immortal sect before he would have a chance.

Otherwise, he could only live like the Xia Xian family and others, living honestly in the market and contributing to the Xian Sect. As for continuing to practice, he basically forgot about it.

Of course, since the management of the Ten Directions Immortal Sect is so strict, there are naturally immortals in the immortal realm who resist such practices.

However, they are often passed down from one line to another. The older ones are either recruited by various immortal sects and accepted into their sects, so that the secrets of their skills that they have painstakingly researched can be turned into new classics within the sect.

Or they just disappeared one by one silently in the fairyland without making any splash.

There is only one force that is an exception.

And this force is none other than the Anti-Cultivation Alliance where Yu Lie’s cheap senior brother belongs to!
"Eh!" Yu Lie sat cross-legged in the guest room, thinking carefully:

"How about going to the Anti-Cultivation Alliance first? Maybe I can get the ancient cultivation techniques from my cheap senior brother. This way, I don't have to really become an ancient cultivator and work for the Ancient Cultivation Sect..."

But he quickly suppressed this thought.

After much thought, he still felt that he could not take too much risk. After all, it was unknown what kind of person Niliuzi was.

Moreover, the main reason why he needed the ancient cultivation technique this time was to hide his identity and broaden his horizons.

The most important thing for him at the moment is not to delve into the ancient methods of cultivating immortals, but to quickly complete the remaining two transformations of the Dancheng realm and enter the immortal realm in one fell swoop!
Yu Lie pondered, he stretched out his hand and waved, wisps of Dan Qi formed words, appeared in front of his eyes, and pictures appeared.

These words and pictures are exactly the medicinal herbs he has been asking around these days. And these medicinal herbs are also the kind that may help him complete the transformation of "eternal beauty"!
"Fortunately, the ancient cultivators and the Mountain and Sea Realm are indeed of the same lineage, and the properties and names of the main medicinal materials are surprisingly roughly the same."

Yu Lie was relieved in his heart: "And the types of immortality medicine here seem to be richer than those in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

His eyes flickered between the several medicinal herbs in front of him and soon landed on one called "Changchun Buxiucao".

This medicine also belongs to the category of elixirs of immortality. It contains the spirit of immortality in its shape like orchid leaves. If the flower blooms, mortals only need to smell it to remain young forever.

If a young child accidentally hears this, he will remain a child forever and will not grow another year older until his death, when he will complete all the changes from a child to an adult, and then to an old man in an instant. It is quite magical.

Yu Lie flicked his fingers, and all the other medicinal herbs that appeared in front of him disappeared, leaving only the pattern of the Immortal Grass in front of him.

"This elixir of immortality has effects that affect one's appearance, but its price is not expensive among many elixirs of immortality. This is beyond my expectation."

He sighed softly, "But even so, with only one plant, it can only be purchased with immortal energy, or exchanged with an equivalent immortal medicine.

This is still extremely expensive for me. I can’t even afford a leaf.”

It is said that most of the ancient immortal practitioners had already taken various anti-aging pills or practiced methods to prolong vitality long before they became immortals. Very few people thought of taking anti-aging pills and the like after they became immortals.

This also led to the fact that the material for the anti-aging pill that Yu Lie needed was the cheapest among the immortality drugs on the market. But even so, the immortality energy required for one leaf was still calculated by kilograms, not ounces.

Yu Lie compared several stores and bargained for a long time with the cheapest one before the other party was willing to sell a finger-sized leaf for eight ounces of immortal energy.

The leaves sold by the other party are actually a "ten thousand year old" medicinal material. The ten thousand years here does not refer to the growth period of the medicinal material, but to the fact that it has been more than ten thousand years since it was picked and processed.

We don't even know where the other party found this old stuff from, and there might be problems with its efficacy.

Yu Lie bought the medicine for himself, so he couldn't just buy the cheap ones. In his opinion, it would be better to buy a whole plant directly, so that he would be prepared for any eventuality when he transformed.

After sighing, Yu Lie's eyes darkened:
"At present, I only have four ounces of immortal energy left, which is far from the required amount. In addition, all major stores are unwilling to use spirit stones to make up for any goods involving the word 'immortality'.

We must find a way to make money, no, we must find a way to make immortal spirit!"

In an instant, many ideas popped up in his mind. He could either follow the Chamber of Commerce in the market and go to the void to search for foreign lands and plunder the immortal energy, or he could join the mine of the Lingbao Immortal Sect and work hard for ten or a hundred years...

But he rejected all these thoughts one by one.

Even if he wanted to go out to plunder other worlds, or go down to the mines to mine, Yu Lie could not join in with his current identity as Dan Cheng, but had to find a way to trick himself into becoming an immortal, so that he would be more secure.

Suddenly, Yu Lie thought of someone.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You have been watching me for so many days, but you seem to be a little slack recently. Are you planning to give up?

In this case, I will give you a chance!"

The person Yu Lie was thinking of was the immortal named Zhu who had taken away his immortal energy at the ferry crossing in the market that day.

In the past few days, every time he walked out of Xia Xian's tavern, he would always feel someone following him. Xia Xian even hinted to him that he should not leave the market for at least three months, since they did not charge him for tea anyway, and after three months, the man surnamed Zhu would have other work to do.

Xia Xianjia's words made Yu Lie realize belatedly that it was no wonder that this person had taken the initiative to waive his alcohol bills for three months.

It turned out that it was to allow him to hide in the market without any worries and avoid the immortal named Zhu.

But he was going to let down such good intentions.

Yu Lie was ready to make a move. He suddenly closed his eyes and made a plan:

"As long as you dare to follow me out of the market, and you don't have a trump card of the Earthly Immortal level in your hand, I will definitely take care of you!"

Now that he is in the ancient immortal realm, he should adapt to the local customs and see the long-standing practices of the ancient cultivators.

The next day.

Yu Lie first wandered around the market in a swaggering manner before returning to the tavern where Xia Xian's family lived.

Then he pretended to be cautious, and when there were few people outside the tavern, he sneaked out of the tavern and ran towards the nearest market gate.

Yu Lie did this in order to prevent the immortal Zhu from becoming suspicious and to reduce the possibility of him calling for help.

He was even worried that because he was too "cautious", the other party would not be able to track his whereabouts and would give up the idea of ​​taking away his immortal energy.

Fortunately, Yu Lie's worries were unnecessary.

When he quietly left his guest room, the immortal named Zhu had already received the message.

This person was not at the ferry, but in a shop on the edge of the market, looking after business. However, the business of his shop was too miserable, and it could be said that there were few customers.

With a buzz, the immortal surnamed Zhu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes brightening slightly.

A sneer appeared on his face:

“It really is hard to persuade that damned devil with kind words.

Even if the man surnamed Xia gave a warning, how could such a person who had just ascended to the Immortal Realm suppress his restless mind? There would definitely be flaws revealed!
It's worth it for me to continue paying attention. "

He glanced at a piece of silk book in his hand, which clearly marked Yu Lie's movements in the market.

The immortal surnamed Zhu calmly put the silk book into his sleeve, shook his robe, stood up, and immediately flew towards where Yu Lie was.

"No matter how alert and cunning you are, you would never have thought that long before you moved into that old dog Xia's inn, I had already booked several rooms in his inn and planted spies there, one of which happened to be right next to you."

A smug smile appeared on this beast's face.

After a while, he arrived at the gate of the market where Yu Lie escaped.

The immortal surnamed Zhu did not hide his true identity at all and walked out of the market in his true appearance. As soon as he left the market, he chased straight in the direction of Yu Lie.

He waited for a month before Yu Lie left the market, but he didn't plan to play hide-and-seek with Yu Lie anymore, and he was too lazy to ambush him in a remote place.

Although the area nearby is the territory of the Immortal Sect, as long as he acts quickly, does not cause too much trouble, and cleans up all traces, even if that Xia guy goes crazy afterwards and wants to stand up for this guy, he will surely be fine.

He didn't even need to ask for benefits, because no one from the Immortal Sect would care about such a small matter. After all, it was just murder and robbery, and the dead were not even from the outer sect of the Immortal Sect.

Soon.

In the void, Yu Lie was wearing a black robe, with a faint glow on his body, flying slowly.

His gaze was directed to a meteorite not far from the market. The size of the meteorite was comparable to that of the Lingbao Market. It was also covered by a formation and had many buildings, which were densely packed and more in number than the market.

This kind of area is actually called a market, but it is where the Dan-level cultivators hang out. There are no immortal shops inside, and no immortals will enter unless necessary.

All the goods there will only be circulated to the next level after they are no longer needed in the Lingbao Market where the immortals live.

Apart from the goods and people, it is not safe to hang out in such a market. If an immortal kills someone in such a place, it is not as simple as paying money, but it is definitely not a matter of losing one's life.

In comparison, the real Lingbao Market is strictly managed. Even if a disciple of the Lingbao Sect kills someone, even if the person is a mortal, as long as the other party enters the market normally and is not a slave, the murderer may lose his life.

Even if he didn't lose his life, at least his career would be ruined and he would be imprisoned for more than 300 years. Of course, all of the above were what Yu Lie had heard from the public, and he didn't know whether they were true or not.

At this moment, Yu Liefei was in the void. He saw that he was about to reach his destination, but there was still no movement around him.

This made him wonder in his heart: "Could it be that the Zhu guy really didn't notice my whereabouts?"

Yu Lie pondered whether he should stay in the Dancheng-level market for a while after arriving there, or even make some moves to secretly seduce the immortal named Zhu.

Suddenly, at this moment, a ray of cold light suddenly shot out from the diagonal corner behind Yu Lie, aiming at his head.

Yu Lie's thoughts were immediately withdrawn, and he thought to himself: "Here it comes!"

He turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction where the cold light came from, but his body suddenly turned again and avoided it.

Just in front of Yu Lie, a figure appeared. The other party was holding a long whip in his hand. The whip was like a poisonous snake, biting towards Yu Lie fiercely.

It turned out that the cold light that had just attacked Yu Lie from the rear was just a cover. The opponent's real location was that he had already flown ahead of Yu Lie, waiting for him to pounce on him.

The immortal named Zhu appeared.

He saw that he could not help but whip Yu Lie to death with one whip, but the magic weapon in his hand didn't even touch the corner of Yu Lie's clothes.

The beast suddenly became anxious: "We must not let this beast escape!"

But what was even more unexpected to him was that after dodging the whip, Yu Lie not only did not retreat quickly, but instead stopped in mid-air, raised his face, and looked at him with a smile.

Yu Lie's consciousness spread out, and his voice rang in the other party's ears:

"Master Zhu! I have been waiting for you for quite a while!"

As soon as a divine consciousness was sent out, the expression of the immortal named Zhu who was planning to kill Yu Lie suddenly changed and his eyes were shocked.

"Oh no! It's a trap!" The beast was shocked and felt nervous.

He actually had no intention of fighting with Yu Lie again, but just pinched the magic formula and tried to escape. It was as if his cultivation was far lower than Yu Lie's, he was the elixir master, and Yu Lie was the immortal.

This was actually because when this beast attacked Yu Lie, it intentionally kept a distance from Yu Lie, which was as much as a thousand feet away.

Logically speaking, the consciousness of a wild cultivator who has achieved Dancheng would absolutely not be able to cross this distance, and magic spells would also be difficult to be effective.

As a result, when Yu Lie spoke, his voice was clear, which made the immortal surnamed Zhu suspect that Yu Lie was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, or even that he was not a Dancheng person at all, but also an immortal!
Who knows, maybe that Xia was plotting against him and hired a killer to kill him!
Yu Lie was also surprised by the immortal Zhu's action, but he had already made preparations the moment he spoke.

He just made a slight gesture and two sharp weapons hidden in the darkness floated out, buzzing, and blocked the immortal named Zhu behind him.

Yu Lie's body flashed, and he appeared in front of the other party at lightning speed.

Yu Lie smiled at the immortal Zhu, showing his white teeth, and said happily:
"Senior, kill people and rob them... No, kill the immortals and rob them!"
