The cultivation of immortality by mortals begins with the abandoned children of the river.

Thousands of feet high in the sky, a small leaf-shaped magic weapon was slowly flying towards Qiandao Lake.

In the middle of the leaves, a middle-aged monk with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was bragging to several young children sitting around him. The children were stunned and exclaimed from time to time, which made the middle-aged monk even more excited. excited:

"Seriously, children, you are very lucky. If you can enter my Feihe Sect, you will definitely..."

"call out!"

An extremely sharp sword light flashed, and a blood flower bloomed on the middle-aged monk's neck. His head suddenly flew up, and then rolled down like a bone.

"what!!!"

"Wow~"

This sudden bloody incident was beyond the psychological endurance of these children. They screamed in terror, hugged each other and trembled. Some children rolled their eyes and fainted, while several others screamed. He stepped back and was about to fall off the leaf magic weapon.

At this moment, a ghostly figure appeared on the leaf magic weapon.

He was tall, dressed in black and wearing a bronze mask. He grabbed several children who were about to fall into his palms with a single grab, and then knocked them all unconscious with several palms amidst their screams.

"What are you screaming for? If you scream again, I will kill you all!"

Listening to the loud cries of the other children, the black-clothed monk shouted sternly, with a murderous look in his eyes, which frightened several children into crying.

"It's really annoying. If I hadn't kept them in exchange for spiritual stones and elixirs, I would have slapped them to death."

The monk in black was upset by the children's cries and planned to knock them all out with a raised hand.

"Huh~"

However, as soon as he stunned a child, he looked at an eleven or twelve-year-old girl with strange eyes, looking around her body with an evil smile on his lips.

"Okay, people with small breasts are not small, and they develop very early, tsk tsk..."

Stared by his evil and filthy eyes, the girl was so frightened that she cried and backed away. Then she was grabbed by the laughing monk in black, who then tore her clothes to pieces with a sneer. He impatiently touched her petite and frail body.

"What are you trying to do by robbing them?"

Words that were as cold as ice suddenly sounded in his ears, and the monk in black suddenly found that there was an ordinary-looking young man in green clothes beside him.

Still unaware of being approached by someone else, the monk was so frightened that he immediately jumped tens of feet away. Then he turned back to take a closer look at the young man in shock. After some exploration, he felt ashamed and immediately flew away again. Come back.

This is actually just a young monk at the sixth level of Qi Condensation!

"Boy, why do I, the Sky-Splitting Demon Sha, need to explain to others what I do? Why don't you get out of here!"

Although the monk in black disdained Zhan Nianchuan's cultivation, he still cautiously stood at the end of the leaves, facing Zhan Nianchuan from a distance, hoping to scare him away.

"The Sky-Splitting Devil!" A smile appeared on the corner of Zhan Nianchuan's mouth, and then he lightly stamped his foot.

The leaf magic weapon suddenly shuddered, and everyone on it became unstable and their bodies shook violently, including the monk in black.

However, he reacted quickly, quickly stabilized his body, and used his double-sword magic weapon.

"Boy, you want to die..."

At this moment, an ordinary face suddenly appeared in front of him, with an extremely indifferent expression, and then a rapidly enlarging fist appeared in front of him.

"Ah~"

The monk in black screamed, and more than a dozen bloody teeth flew out, and his whole body flew out like straw.

His nightmare was not over yet. Zhan Nianchuan flew out like a maggot attached to his bones, and punched him hard in the lower abdomen, shattering all the energy in his Dantian.

He is useless!

The monk in black felt that there was no mana in his body, and his face showed madness and despair. He bit the tip of his tongue hard, but only made his mouth bleed.

He has no teeth left.

He couldn't even commit suicide, which made the monk in black despair to the extreme. His tongue was swollen, and he looked at Zhan Nianchuan who was carrying him and flying to the leaf magic weapon, and he uttered his most vicious curse vaguely:

"You son of a bitch, you have to be nice..."

A burst of red light enveloped his whole body, completely controlling his mind and making him stupid.

"What are you robbing these children for? Who ordered you to do this?" Zhan Nianchuan asked while smiling at the crying children, but it had little effect. Only a few children stopped crying.

"The purpose of my plundering them is to use them in exchange for cultivation resources. This is also the clan leader's order." The black-clothed monk replied dully.

Zhan Nianchuan's face darkened, and he thought of the evil cultivators he encountered in Yuyue County who robbed children to refine the Five Elements Spirit Orbs.

After catching a child who had passed out and checked, it turned out that he had spiritual roots, and they were very mixed. He had four spiritual roots. The same was true when he caught another child and checked.

"How long have you been doing this?"

"Only this once."

"So you have never robbed disciples of weak sects before?" Zhan Nianchuan discovered this keenly.

"Yes."

"Then why do you want to risk robbing children this time? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"I'm afraid, but the clan leader said that there are only a few people left to succeed. He asked me to be careful about robbing a disciple recruited by a small sect."

At this time, Zhan Nianchuan was completely sure that these people were planning to rob children and extract spiritual roots, because the methods were exactly the same.

However, these people are much stronger than the evil cultivators in Yuyue County. They actually dare to directly snatch the disciples recruited by the small sect. Perhaps after so many years, the forces behind these evil cultivators have become stronger, Zhan Nianchuan thought silently in his heart. Think.

What made his heart heavy was that this actually involved the Immortal Cultivating Family.

Yuyue County has already involved evil cultivators and demonic cultivators, and now even the Immortal Cultivator family is involved. I am afraid that this kind of behavior has been carried out secretly in various states and counties for many years.

Zhan Nianchuan took a breath when he thought of the many children involved and the countless families behind them.

After some further interrogation, Zhan Nianchuan found out that this guy knew nothing about the family's purpose of robbing children, and was a little surprised.

Although this guy doesn't know, he also understands why the Xiuxian family takes great risks to cooperate with evil cultivators, and why the three are mixed together.

Because it’s good for all three:

The Immortal Cultivation Family has a large number of people, so they can search a large area for qualified children. Moreover, if they have the Five Elements Spiritual Bead, they can mass-produce monks with single spiritual roots. In the future, the family will not be able to prosper, and it can also be used to improve The spiritual root qualifications of those in power within the clan.

Evil cultivators can obtain children's essence and blood, and demonic cultivators can obtain children's souls.

The three formed a strong enough interest group.

And Zhan Nianchuan is sure that other monks also intend to do this, after all, the effect of improving spiritual root qualifications is so incredible. But they don't have enough manpower to search for children on a large scale. After all, there are too few children with spiritual roots. There may not be one in a thousand people. Only the imperial court, sects and cultivating families have this ability.
