Regenerate into soil, master life and death at the beginning

However, under the leadership of Liu Shanchang and others, they did not continue to develop the inner city area where the miasma and filth had been exhausted. Instead, they opened up two outer city areas outside the north and south city gates, and defined the city wall as the inner city area.

The inner city is dominated by resident population, which is the foundation of Piaoshanji, while the outer city is dominated by migrants.

To the south of the inner city, a large number of warriors come and go here, and more often they are active in Piaoshan. This is only a place for them to rest, replenish, exchange, and purchase resources. It is also the base camp of the Jagged Alliance;

In the north of the inner city, although there are also warriors, there are also a large number of ordinary people. It is the place where Piaoshanji and other settlements trade and gather, and it is the place where He Tiezhu, Liu Shanchang and others are mainly responsible.

The red dust in the inner city area has always been stable, and it has grown slowly with the development of Piaoshanji.

The south of the city and the north of the city are very interesting. The south of the city is the place where all resources in Piaoshan trade and flow. There is a huge flow of money every day. The mortal air scattered and chaotic, can barely form a special "fence wall" outside the city to prevent the miasma and filthy air that was expelled from the inner city from making a comeback.

However, the northern part of the city, as a hub for trade and gatherings with other settlements, is far inferior to the southern part of the city in terms of daily money flow alone, and Piaoshanji itself has almost no profit from such activities, and in many cases even It is also necessary to post it upside down, more to play a role of threading the needle, strengthening one's own hub, and adjusting in the middle.

When Jiang Gan manipulated Peishang's body onto the city wall and looked northward, he could see the long lines formed by seven mortal auras, like flowing canals, flowing out from beyond his sight, and finally merged with the mortal aura of Piaoshanji. .

Jiang Gan immediately realized that at the end of the seven "canals" of mortal energy, there were the seven settlements attached to Piaoshanji.

My own harvest of mortal gas once a month, the harvest is increasing day by day, and their continuous contribution is indispensable.

Jiang Gan has a feeling that as long as Hongchen Dun is proficient enough, he can follow these "canals" and escape directly to settlements hundreds of miles away.

"When the future continues to develop, and the red dust within the sphere of influence of Piaoshanji is completely connected into one piece, then I can go wherever I want?"

Normally, the red dust atmosphere in this area is no less than that in the city.

As early as many years ago, it was guided by Liu Shanchang and has gradually become the default custom of all parties. When the end-of-the-month gathering arrives, not only will there be a large-scale team from the seven settlements directly attached to the Piaoshan Collection, but also other distances. The distant settlements are attracted by the increasingly famous reputation of Piaoshanji. They arrive in twos and threes at the end of each month. They either communicate with each other, or trade with Piaoshanji, or admire the reputation of Yaowang Valley and Shenbing Pavilion. I am here to buy precious medicine or magical weapons.

During this period of time, the red dust in this area was far stronger than that in the inner city.

For the fourth time, Jiang Gan manipulated Peishang's body to stand on the north city wall, overlooking the area where the red dust was overly dense due to the big gathering at the end of the month, and looked at the presence of strands of strange aura in the thick red dust. , finally made up his mind, Hong Chen Dun activated, and his figure disappeared directly into the air.

As early as the first month-end gathering, Jiang Gan looked from this position and noticed the sudden thickening of the mortal aura, but at the same time, he also discovered the existence of strange breaths that were completely different from the mortal aura.

A sense of vigilance immediately rose in his heart.

He thought of the cultivators who had briefly appeared in the observation area of ​​his consciousness, but they all left a deep impression on him.

This is the most threatening group in this world, so he can't help but be vigilant.

But at the end of the month, when the gathering was over, the ordinary people gathered from all sides left one after another, the red dust in this area dropped to a normal level, and these strange smells disappeared.

"Could it be...they are also here to go to the market?" Such an absurd thought flashed in Jiang Gan's mind.

When the second and third end-of-the-month gatherings came, and the mortal atmosphere was as spectacular as a rising tide, those strange auras also came, as if they were coming with the tide, and Jiang Gan had to admit that they, maybe they really were I came to the market with Fanmin!

"Then... go and have a look?!"

Not only because of curiosity, but even for his own safety, he had to go.

It has been 30 years since he woke up, and the number of times monks appeared in front of him can be counted on one's fingers. He thought that it is normal for Piaoshanji to be a settlement of ordinary people, and there are few practitioners. "Abalone House" is the same regardless of the righteous way or heretics, unless Qinghe has a special task and purpose, who would take the initiative to make up for it.

But now, when he "opened his eyes", he was shocked to find that there were monks "going to the market" beside him, and they would gather here once a month. Moreover, it seemed that this gathering pattern had been formed many years ago!

If he can't find out the situation thoroughly, he's afraid he won't be able to sleep peacefully—oh, he can't sleep, then he will always be in anxiety.

Hongchen Dunjiang Gan has mastered it very well. After he disappeared from the north city wall, he appeared silently in the place where the mortal aura is the strongest in the Dazhong. With the already strong mortal aura covering him, his appearance was calm.

He just casually glanced at the extremely lively trading scene around him, with a clear goal, and retreated towards the traces of strange aura.

Soon, he came to the target building.

A very ordinary, very ordinary tea house.

And the place where the breath came out was in a spacious private room on the second floor. There were not many such private rooms, and there were ten such private rooms on the entire second floor, because there were many discussions on large transactions at the end of the month fair. Such a private place for communication is the most urgent need of all parties, so there are many similar teahouses.

Silently escaped to the door of the private room, and listened attentively, with the keen perception of this golden core body, he didn't feel the slightest breath coming out, only a faint rhythm of aura fluctuations loomed.

"There should be a formation like sound insulation." Jiang Gan guessed in his heart.

Looking at those who are not restricted by the formation, they can freely come and go in and out of the private room, and the unrestrained mortal atmosphere.

In principle, as long as the formation here can't block the flow of Hongchen Qi from inside and outside, then it can't stop Hongchen Dun from using it. He can ignore the formation and escape directly into it.

However, he doesn't know what's going on inside. If a group of Nascent Souls hold a Dao exchange meeting here, what is he doing?The number one mortal evil cultivator in this world is still in such a weird state...Jiang Gan can even imagine the scene where they screamed and rushed forward to ravage him.

However, monks in the Nascent Soul Realm come here every month to go to the market?Based on his understanding of the situation in this world, this possibility is almost non-existent. What's more, even if there is an accident, this is just a "finger cot", and the loss is also lost. Compared with it, it is still necessary to find out the details more important.

Thinking about it, Jiang Qian manipulated this body to escape into the room along with a wave of red dust. When passing through the space, he felt that he had passed through several layers of barriers, each with different functions, sound insulation and warning, covering the breath, Defense against psychedelic and more.

But all of this is useless to him in the state of mortal escape.

The next moment, he stood in the room.

He could see everything in the room clearly.

In the spacious private room, more than 30 practitioners gathered here.They are practitioners because they all have a special aura that is completely different from ordinary civilians and warriors. As for their strength, they are unexpectedly low.

Taking Qinghe before and after breaking through the foundation establishment as a reference, Jiang Gan found that only three of them had the strength of the foundation establishment level, and the others were minor Qi training practitioners, and more than half of them were low in the Qi training level.

All the monks wore a white mask and black loose robes. Not to mention their appearance, even the male and female characteristics were difficult to distinguish under the cover of the loose robes.

More than 30 people gathered in the private room, but the atmosphere inside was audibly quiet. Everyone exuded an air of indifference and alienation that rejected people thousands of miles away, and everyone was aloof.

These people, including the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, turned a blind eye to Jiang Gan who suddenly appeared in the room.

Just as Jiang Gan was carefully looking at the people in the room, several people entered one after another. These people all held a wooden token in their hands. The incense stick with the smoke going straight up will vibrate slightly, and then the old man will make a seal with his hand, and the formation that isolates the inside and outside of the room will fluctuate slightly. Will be reduced to ashes the moment they enter the room.

Just like that, when the incense sticks were completely burnt out, the old man Zhuji reached out and put the incense burner into the storage bag, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, the incense sticks are exhausted, don't wait until the expiration date, the fellow Taoists lost their guidance, You can't get in without the right door, and you can't blame anyone... I hope everyone will learn from it. Although we aim to attract more Taoist friends to join the rally, safety first is still the first gist, remember, remember!"

"This time, a few new friends have joined, hoping to bring surprises to everyone." The old man glanced at several people in the field, then coughed lightly, and said: "Okay, don't say much, this time The trading meeting officially begins."

Chapter 63 Supreme Mystery

As soon as the old man finished speaking, another cultivator who had been leaning on the seat with his eyes closed suddenly said:

"As long as it is spiritual grass and spiritual fruit, I want it here, and what I can give here is all kinds of pills needed by Qi training monks.

The quality of the elixir is absolutely inferior to that sold in the market, and the price is also cheaper. Old friends should know that this is a long-term business, and there will never be bullying and shoddy things. "

His words were obviously aimed at those few newcomers.

After that, he stopped talking, and put a few empty storage bags in front of him, and he didn't open his eyes from the beginning to the end.

A monk stretched out his hand and took a storage bag into his palm. After a while, he sent the storage bag forward respectfully. The cultivator seemed to check it out, then quietly transferred the contents of the bag, and placed the emptied storage bag in front of him again for others to use. At the same time, he threw out an unattractive jade bottle. Put the jade bottle in your sleeve.

Except for the two of them, even Jiang Gan, who manipulated Pei Chang's body to watch all this, didn't know what they had traded in this wave, and the others naturally didn't know, they could only see the storage bag back and forth in the air Once again, the cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm threw out a jade bottle with a high probability of containing elixirs, but the specific elixirs and how many were unknown.

Afterwards, more than [-] monks made deals with this Foundation Establishment one after another. This Foundation Establishment was like a mobile elixir shop, and he seemed to be able to meet all the needs of these Qi-training monks.

Pei Chang's body is the body of the golden core, coupled with the wonder of the mortal alchemy, and the place is covered by the rich mortal air, Jiang Gan discovered a very interesting phenomenon through the perception fed back from this body.

Although these monks tried their best to cover up their aura, due to reasons such as their low level and shallow methods, some of their aura would always leak out. Therefore, he believed that all the monks present knew well that those who participated in this small meeting, There are not only orthodox monks who hide their heads and show their tails, but also many heretics whose aura is obviously different from the orthodox. They are varied and chaotic, but everyone ignores this point. Here, the orthodox and the outsiders get along harmoniously and have a very tacit understanding.

When this series of transactions was completed, the last of the three foundation builders also spoke: "The remains of wild beasts, different stone spirit mines, or other difficult-to-identify objects can be traded with me. I can provide regular talismans, magic tools, and array disks here, and if you need something special, you can also order it specially, and pick it up at the next big fair."

After all, he also took out a few empty storage bags and put them in front of him.

One after another, some people took away the storage bags and returned them immediately. The two foundation-building monks were late-stage Qi training monks. Compared with the two foundation-building monks, their needs were more specific, and the things they traded were varied and different.

After watching this journey, Jiang Gan's biggest gain is that he has enriched his understanding of the world of practice. Because he has no omniscient vision, he cannot read everyone's thoughts. All he can see and know can only be completed through this body, and his gains are relatively limited.

Unknowingly, the small trading meeting has turned to the last person. Although he is wearing a mask, Jiang Gan knows that this is a young man who has just entered the Tao and has a first-level cultivation of Qi.

Because the others have already completed the transaction, everyone's eyes naturally fell on him, because his cultivation base is low, and the means of concealing his own aura are also very rough, so his situation cannot be hidden from those who are interested , this young man obviously knew this situation, even through the mask, he could feel those pair of playful gazes, he was silent for a while, and then deliberately said in a deep voice:

"If you want to be peaceful in one sect, you can point directly to the orthodox practice method of Jindan. The trader must swear with Dao heart that there should be no hidden hands or other hidden dangers in the practice. Moreover, it is a method that can be confirmed to walk through the Dao of Jindan. , it cannot be the kind of cultivation method that few people have succeeded since its establishment, or the conditions are harsh, or there are special thresholds for practitioners."

Before he opened his mouth, everyone had a judgment in their minds that "this is a rookie". Not only is his cultivation base very low, but also he should rarely participate in similar small trading meetings, and it is even very likely that this one is his. first contact.

And after listening to his request, everyone immediately renewed their understanding of this rookie—before today, this rookie probably had never even come into contact with a serious practitioner, and he didn't have the slightest understanding of the practice circle .

Looking at his cultivation level, which is barely enough to enter the Tao, it is not difficult to guess that this is a "lucky guy" who has entered the Tao in a daze and knows nothing about the world of practice.

You, a little cultivator who has just entered the Tao, do you know how much your demands are too much?

Directly pointing at Jindan's cultivation method?How dare you say it!

The golden elixir is the beginning of the real Dao. If there is a practice method that directly points to the golden elixir, then the Nascent Soul method and the method of transforming the gods will basically be clear. The law of the gods, with the knowledge at that time and the long life, is enough to learn from others' strengths, and continue on the road of Nascent Soul Transformation God. It is rare to stick to the previous method to get to this point.

Therefore, a golden elixir method is basically equivalent to a set of Dao methods.There are so many pre-conditions, not only the upright and peaceful righteous way, but also the conditions are not harsh, and there are no hidden dangers, and you must swear with the heart of the Tao... You, a little cultivator who has just entered the Tao, how can you have the courage to make such a request? ?

Everyone looked at the young man more and more playfully, but the young man forced himself to be calm and continued: "My reward is a supreme soul secret art that combines cultivation and attack."

What he said, everyone's eyes fluctuated slightly, but that was all. The judgment of a qi training rookie who lacked basic common sense in the cultivation world was really questionable.

A monk in the late stage of Qi training finally couldn't help but said:

"Although the secret art of the soul is more precious than other secret arts, it depends on what it is compared with. If you say that it is supreme, it is supreme? Do you know what the secret art of the soul means? If there is such a secret art, Dazhong Academy, Both Dao Palace and Daming Temple will treat you as a guest of honor, and you can choose any Dao method at will... Hey!"

At the end, he sneered. Obviously, even he thought that a small trading club of this level was not qualified to do this business at all.

The rookie youth didn't respond, and sat there silently. Everyone thought that he had given up the delusions in his mind. Suddenly, everyone felt that the rookie youth had undergone a mysterious change in an instant. His body seemed to be faintly glowing. He sat cross-legged There, like an eternal and immobile shadow, there was a round of rising sun rising from behind him. This was not a real rising sun, but the light it emitted seemed to shoot into everyone's heart.

The soul is bathed in this mysterious light, and everyone has a strange feeling. The dust on the soul seems to be quietly reduced, the wisdom is bright, and the understanding is improved. In the past, there are many unreasonable and incomprehensible problems. At this moment, As if it has become so simple, just "look" and you will get the solution directly.

But just when they wanted to "see", the mysterious light disappeared, and everyone fell into the ignorant state of being entangled like a cocoon with each practice problem, and everyone was scratching their hearts and lungs. uncomfortable.

If they had never seen the light, then they could have adapted to the darkness, but now, they have seen the radiance that is fleeting but directly shines into the soul.

All the qi cultivators looked at the young rookie with a sudden hunger and enthusiasm. The three foundation cultivators looked at each other quietly. They were also shocked, but they seemed to be communicating with each other secretly.

The young man sitting cross-legged seemed to have never heard of anything outside his body, and calmly said: "The first pose, [The First Appearance of the Buddha's Light], tempers the soul, enlightens wisdom, sublimates understanding, not only benefits oneself, but also affects others!"

Everyone was digesting all this, but they saw the young man's demeanor suddenly changed. A moment ago, he was sitting cross-legged so aloof that he was not like ordinary people. In an instant, he was like a peerless monster, but he was trying his best to restrain himself and lurk in the abyss. But it didn't feel easy at all, and a huge, soul-deep fear gripped everyone's hearts.

They seem to have been inspired by the ancient memories in their blood. Before the goshawk hunts, it deliberately flies low and retracts its wings. Before the fatal blow, the beast looks obedient and harmless. The key just opened the secret acupoint in the heart of the person, and he was in a state of fear with great terror and danger hanging over his head, which could fall at any time.

However, although the young people's methods are mysterious, their cultivation base is too low after all. Some of the resolute Qi training later quickly recollected, and they got rid of the stiff state of being mermaid. They looked at the rookie youth and became more and more greedy. , They all clearly saw that although the three foundation cultivators got rid of the influence earlier than them, they still inevitably had a short-term absence.

It's a terrifying thing that a person who has just entered the Tao and doesn't even have a serious practice method for a small level of qi training can use a secret method that can affect a foundation-builder cultivator!

The supreme secret technique, only the supreme soul secret technique, is qualified to be so unreasonable!

The young man seemed unaware of the dangers around him, and continued: "The second form, [Don't use Qianlong], traces back to the source, arousing the great fear hidden deep in the blood and soul, and this is only what I have cultivated. It's just a trick, because I don't know what a dragon is, if I can truly understand its essence, I think this style will be even stronger!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the old man who presided over the small trading meeting, and asked, "I would like to use this supreme soul secret technique to exchange for the most suitable orthodox golden elixir method. Is it possible?"

The old man who established the foundation said: "Such a wonderful method, the old man has never heard of it before... I wonder if this method has a name?"

The rookie youth said: ""The Tathagata Subdues the Dragon"."

The old man who established the foundation frowned: "Who is the Tathagata? What is a dragon?"

"I don't know who the Tathagata is, but the true meaning of the Buddha's way that fills the world in [The First Appearance of the Buddha's Light] cannot be faked. It must be the real Buddha, but there is no name 'Tathagata Buddha' in Daming Temple.

Similarly, I don't know what the dragon is, but I think it must be a peerless evil, and it may even be an existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Buddha. "
