Immortal Road

Chapter 275  On the eve of departure

The monk surnamed Lu smiled instead of getting angry and said, "It's just a few bugs. If you want them, you can take them. I'm afraid that you don't know these bugs, so they are useless and will be wasted."

"If that's the case, I'll leave first. Goodbye." Ishikawa didn't understand why this person's attitude changed so much. But Ishikawa didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.

"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist!" The monk surnamed Lu said hurriedly when he saw Ishikawa leave without saying anything.

"Does fellow Taoist have anything else to say?" Ishikawa turned around and said.

"Nothing, in fact, this spiritual insect is called the gnawing spiritual insect, which is a rare spiritual insect and is also very beneficial to our cultivation. Since fellow Taoist has obtained it, it is also an opportunity. I have a method of using the gnawing spiritual insect for cultivation. If fellow Taoist doesn't mind, you can take it and have a look." The monk surnamed Lu said, throwing a jade slip to Ishikawa.

Ishikawa didn't even look at it and put it directly into the storage bag.

"I see you look a little unfamiliar, you don't seem to be a local cultivator. I wonder where your cave is. We can exchange our cultivation experiences."

"I just arrived here, and the place of cultivation has not been determined yet. Let's talk about it later." Ishikawa bowed and flew away.

The cultivator surnamed Lu looked at Ishikawa's figure escaping away, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Do you think this gnawing insect is so easy to train? I spent hundreds of years to cultivate it to such a level, how could I let you get away with it."

"Hello, Senior Lu..." The cultivator of the eighth level of Qi training said respectfully.

"Hmm? How long has your master been in seclusion?" The cultivator surnamed Lu asked casually.

"This..." The cultivator of the eighth level of Qi training period showed an embarrassment on his face, but still said respectfully: "About three to five months."

"Three to five months?" The cultivator surnamed Lu counted with his fingers and smiled coldly: "If that's the case, then... you can die in peace."

The cultivator surnamed Lu waved his hand for a while, and countless green gnawing spirit insects flew out from his sleeves. In a flash, the bones of these cultivators in the Qi training period were gnawed away, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.

…………………………

Ishikawa flew back to the Lingkuang Pavilion on his sword, released his spiritual consciousness, and searched a little, but no one caught up.

It seems that the cultivator surnamed Lu did not follow him, but Ishikawa did not believe that the cultivator surnamed Lu was so good that he would teach him the method of controlling the gnawing spirit insect for no reason.

This person must not have any good intentions.

Ishikawa will see this method of operation, but Ishikawa will definitely not copy it.

Shichuan entered the Lingkuang Pavilion. Wu Pu, Long Yanning and Hua Yingwu were all sitting in the hall, chatting about something.

"Master, you are back. I am really ashamed..." Wu Pu burst into tears.

"Shopkeeper Wu, I made you work hard when I was away." Shichuan said.

"Master... I..."

"Shopkeeper Wu, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so you should rest." Shichuan supported Wu Pu and injected a spiritual power into Wu Pu's body.

Wu Pu was already old, and he worked too hard for the store. His body was already very poor. Wu Qingzi planted the gnawing spirit insects into him, so his body was naturally extremely weak.

"It would be good if Wu Pu could practice some Taoism." Shichuan thought secretly.

However, if Shichuan could think of it, Long Yanning must have thought of it too.

Shichuan shook his head helplessly. People are born, grow old, get sick and die. Cultivating the truth is just fighting with the sky for life. Those who are lucky can live a few hundred years longer, and those who are unlucky may die in the battle of cultivating the truth.

Wu Pu's life span is coming to an end, so reincarnation is also a given.

Shichuan originally wanted to take them all away, but now that he thought about it, he hesitated.

"I have something to tell you." Shichuan said, "But this is not the place to talk, let's go inside."

…………………………………………

In the inner room of Lingkuang Pavilion, Shichuan and Wu Pu sat in the middle.

On the left and right were Hua Yingwu and Long Yanning.

There were also a few servants who moved stools to do this. These were all Lingkuang Pavilion had.

Shichuan cast a sound-screening formation and said, "Everyone, you should have heard about the Qingyun Sect's massive attack. Although we are in a remote area, we have also been affected."

"The master said that after several surrounding sects were wiped out, our business has been getting worse and worse and it is difficult to continue." Wu Pu said.

Long Yanning also added: "Many shops have moved away. This place is not making enough money, and there are many vacant shops."

Shichuan nodded and said: "I left Nanliang Kingdom during this period, crossed the northern desert, and went to Huolie Kingdom. I also learned the difference between Nanliang Kingdom and those countries. So in order to practice better and avoid harassment from Qingyun Sect, I decided to leave Nanliang Kingdom."

Shichuan's words immediately shocked Wu Pu, Long Yanning and others.

"Master, are you leaving here?" Wu Pu showed a trace of regret on his face.

"Manager Wu and Miss Long have been helping me handle the business of Lingkuang Pavilion, and they have done a good job. Although I don't know your names, Manager Wu can hire you, which is enough to show your efforts."

"Master, you are too kind. This is what we should do." Wu Pu looked ashamed.

"I will give everyone freedom now, and allow you to take some items from the store for your future needs. It can be regarded as my gift to everyone."

After Shichuan finished speaking, there was a silence.

Since Ishikawa took over the shop, Wu Pu and Long Yanning have been almost free. Ishikawa rarely comes back. They are basically the owners of the shop and have a lot of feelings for Lingkuang Pavilion. Ishikawa's words now made them feel cold.

"Master... I am reluctant to leave..." Wu Pu burst into tears, but he also knew that it was almost impossible for him to cross the northern desert.

"I won't live for a few years, and I don't need anything." Wu Pu said.

"I don't want anything either." Long Yanning took out a few storage bags and handed them to Ishikawa, saying, "The shop is not doing well. All the valuable things in the shop are with me. Senior Brother Shi, please take a look."

Ishikawa put a few storage bags on the table.

He continued, "You have been with me for many years, so I will naturally not treat you unfairly. If there are those who don't want to go with me, I will leave them with a hundred years of living needs."

"What, can I go with my senior brother?" Long Yanning, who had tears in her eyes, suddenly smiled.

"Master, Miss Long is practicing very fast. If she practices well, she will definitely have a bright future. If it is convenient for you, why not take Miss Long with you?" Wu Pu said earnestly.

"If you want to go, I have my own way to take all of you. You can think about it carefully." Ishikawa said.

"What, Master can also take me away, I won't be a burden to you." Wu Pu asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Wu." Hua Yingwu said with a smile: "Senior Brother Shi has a flying boat with a very fast speed, which can carry as many as seven or eight people. It only took us a few days to come here from the northernmost part of Nanliang Country."

Ishikawa nodded with a smile.

"Is that so?" Wu Pu looked at Ishikawa and said: "Master has been very kind to me. If you need me, I will die."

"Since Shopkeeper Wu and Miss Long both want to go with me, let's go together." Ishikawa said with a smile.

Opening a store is also very convenient for Ishikawa.

Moreover, for Long Yanning, going to a yellow-level cultivation country is much better than staying here.

"I wonder what you guys think." Ishikawa looked at the servants.

"I have an old mother, wife and children at home, so I can't follow the immortal..."

"Shopkeeper Wu, give him a hundred years of need." Ishikawa said casually.

"This..." Shopkeeper Wu hesitated and took out a few silver notes from his arms. Long Yanning took back the storage bag he had just handed to Ishikawa, took out some pills and spiritual stones from it and handed them to him.

"Thank you, Master Immortal, thank you, Shopkeeper Wu, thank you, second shopkeeper." The servant knelt on the ground. He didn't expect that this was true.

So many silver notes and pills, he couldn't earn them in his lifetime.

With these things, he went home to buy hundreds of acres of land, and several generations could live a stable life.

The other servants were envious of this. They also expressed their desire to stay here.

Ishikawa still asked Wu Pu to give them a hundred years of need.

Although Wu Pu had a look of pain on his face, he did not dare to object to what Shichuan asked him to do.

The few people were naturally delighted to receive such a generous gift.

Only one servant did not speak. Shichuan knew this person, named Wu Shi.

"Xiao Shi, what do you want?" Shichuan asked.

Xiao Shi knelt on the ground and said, "Wu Shi is free and has no parents. He grew up eating at many families. Later, he was taken in by Manager Wu. I hope to be able to accompany Manager Wu in the future and serve him like a relative. I hope the master can take me with him."

"It's rare that you have such filial piety." Shichuan nodded with satisfaction. This person is also an ordinary mortal. Seeing others get so many treasures, he did not envy them. He will definitely achieve great things in the future.

"I'll take you with me."

"Thank you, master." Wu Shi showed ecstasy on his face and kowtowed on the ground.

Shichuan used his spiritual power to help him up.

Then he took out some Vajra Talismans from the storage bag.

Then he injected some spiritual power and gave them two each.

"These are all protective amulets. When you are in danger, just shout out my name and it will work." Ishikawa said calmly: "The wealth I give each of you can allow you to live a hundred years in peace. If you have some brains, several generations can have no worries about food and clothing. So don't covet other people's wealth. If I know who has evil intentions, I will definitely not forgive them."

"Master, don't worry, we will definitely remember your teachings." Several people nodded and agreed to this.

Hide the Vajra Talisman close to your body. Everyone knows that this is a life-saving treasure given by the master.
