Chapter 1 Obtaining the Black Pill

Xiang Yangsheng woke up from his bed as usual. It was another bright morning, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. Familiar smell, familiar room, everything is familiar but feels like everything has changed.

He reached out and wiped the dried tears from the corners of his eyes. He had cried painfully and begged for mercy countless times in his sleep, but the result was the same every time.

He lost his golden elixir.

If it weren't for the pain that came from his dantian, he would have thought that everything that happened before was just a nightmare last night. He has an innate golden elixir, which means that his cheap father or mother is at least an immortal-level existence, but he has never seen them, and he doesn't even know their names.

Although he is such a powerful being, he has never cared about him for a day since he was born. He also sealed his Dantian, allowing himself to become a mortal without the qualifications to become an immortal and live an ordinary life.

What cruel parents they are! ! !

Don’t you know who in this world is willing to be an ordinary person? Who doesn’t want to cultivate immortality? Why do I let you decide my path easily?

Have you asked me what I think? I also want to be the most powerful being in this world, just like everyone else.

In this plane world, there are five major levels of immortality cultivation: mortal level, immortal level, Hunyuan level, heavenly level, and great avenue level.

Each major level is divided into different realms. For example, the mortal level is subdivided into: Qi refining stage, foundation building stage, golden elixir stage, Nascent Soul stage, god transformation stage, etc... Each stage is divided into early stage, middle stage, Later stage, peak and other realms. Being able to reach the Immortal level and the subdivisions of the Immortal level were beyond his imagination and understanding.

Only the world's top super power can exist.

Normal golden elixirs must go through the Qi refining period, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then be used. Only when the amount of spiritual energy in the Dantian within the body reaches a certain huge scale can it enter the foundation building stage. The spiritual energy crystallizes to form the golden elixir, which is the acquired golden elixir. And he was actually born with a golden elixir, which he had with him since he was born.

There is only one possibility, that is, his parents are only immortal-level experts, so that their offspring can directly form a golden elixir. In addition to the pain in his Dantian, his heart also ached more and more. The corners of my eyes were once again filled with tears. All parents hope that their children will achieve success on the path to immortality, but you sealed my Dantian.

When someone cut off the golden elixir, he smiled. It turns out that he is not a useless person, he still has Dantian.

It was the third uncle who rescued Xiang Yangsheng who was still alive. Who else could care about him except the third uncle and Li Yuer. Who can you rely on for a child who doesn't even want his own parents?

He is not afraid of death. Even if he vomits blood and uses his last breath, he still wants to ask his third uncle why he is about to die and his cheap father and mother don't show up? Why do you want to seal your Dantian so that you can only be an ordinary person?

Looking at the stubborn Xiang Yangsheng, the third uncle couldn't bear it, and in order to calm him down, he could only tell him some of the truth.

His father and third uncle were sworn brothers of the opposite sex, brothers who could share life and death together through thick and thin. Xiang Yangsheng's father was his second brother and his uncle. The three of them were sworn sworn sworn sworn sworn sworn sworn sworn friends. They were young and frivolous, and the three of them conquered the world of immortality together.

At that time, the spring breeze was full of joy and attracted the admiration of many fairies. Beauty is made in heaven, and the third uncle also married a fairy and gave birth to his beloved daughter Li Yuer. But the good times didn't last long, and he was plotted by his enemies. After the death of his beloved wife, he did not want his daughter to live in the world of immortality under constant crisis, so he retired with the infant Li Yuer.

But not long after, Xiang Yangsheng's father and mother, covered in blood, found him with the infant Xiang Yangsheng. He begged him to take care of the child, but before he could agree, he left.

His parents said at the time that they just wanted Xiang Yangsheng to be an ordinary person and let him live a stable and happy life, so they took him to find his retired self and sealed his Dantian.

The third uncle thought at that time that his second brother might also be hunted by his enemies and had to leave the child with him. It's just that more than ten years have passed, and they haven't come back. And those two people had obviously survived the crisis that day, and they were both influential figures in today's world of immortality.

Are you unwilling to have this child again? As for the reason, Xiang Yangsheng can only ask them himself.

Stay alive and ask them yourself, okay? These were the last words that his third uncle said to Xiang Yangsheng before he passed out.

It turns out that he is desperately trying to survive. If he survives, I will go find them. I want to ask them face to face, why did they give birth to me if they didn’t want me?

His thoughts were in turmoil, and his face was full of tears. He was interrupted by the sound of the door opening, the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling to the floor, and a bowl of white porridge scattered all over the floor. Not as good as Xiang Yangsheng looking up. A girl pushed open the door and came in. She quickly rushed to Xiang Yangsheng's bed and hugged Xiang Yangsheng fiercely.

Brother Yangsheng, you finally woke up.

After being silent for a long time, he could only feel the fragrance of the girl's hair floating in his nose. This silly girl was probably worried about herself, so he just let her hold him like this. Feeling each other's heartbeats, they slowly calmed down.

Brother Yangsheng, I'm afraid. I'm so afraid that you'll die and I'll never see you again. The girl cried, raised her head, and stared at Xiang Yangsheng.

Yue'er, am I still alive? Fool. Xiang Yangsheng touched the girl's head lovingly.

Brother Yang Sheng, when dad brought you back, you were no longer breathing. He said that you were poisoned by bad guys and had your golden elixir cut off. Even he might not be able to save you. I really So scared, so scared... He said if you don't wake up today, you may never wake up again. Before he finished, the girl started crying again.

How could it be? I promised Yue'er that I would protect you for the rest of my life. I said that for the rest of my life I will protect you for the rest of my life.

After saying that, Xiang Yangsheng reached into his arms and took out something wrapped in a cloth handkerchief. He opened the cloth carefully and found a broken jade bracelet inside.

Here, your birthday present, but it's broken.

The girl cried even more sadly, blaming herself for being willful and clamoring for a birthday gift. If Brother Yang Sheng had not gone down the mountain to prepare a birthday gift for her, how could he have been poisoned by this and almost lost his life? She threw the things away, hugged Xiang Yangsheng and started crying again.

I don't want gifts, I just want Brother Yangsheng to be well... Before he could finish his words, he hugged him tighter.

oops!

Maybe he hugged her too tightly and touched the wound in his pubic area, causing Xiang Yangsheng to bar his teeth.

The girl quickly let go of him, It's all my fault. I hurt you, right?

It's okay! It seems I won't die yet.

Feeling the body's strength slowly recovering, I knew that I was fine, and the next step was to slowly recuperate. Wanting to take a look at his wounds, Xiang Yangsheng slowly opened his clothes and found that his whole body was covered in scars. There is a big scar on the belly, right at the Dantian area, which has been carefully sutured with thin threads.

It was here that his golden elixir was dug out.

Now it is bulging inside, as if something has been stuffed to replace the golden elixir that was cut away. There is no need to think that the reason why I am still alive after losing the golden elixir is because of the thing stuffed into my Dantian. It gave off a special strange aura, which stabilized his heart and prevented him from dying.

The girl also carefully stared at the wound on Xiang Yangsheng's stomach. Except for a slight protrusion, it seemed to be no different from the original one. As long as her brother Yang Sheng is still alive, it doesn't matter whether it's a golden elixir or something else.

What strange thing did Third Uncle put in my Dantian? Xiang Yangsheng asked the girl.

The third uncle Xiang Yangsheng was talking about was naturally Li Zekai, the father of the girl Li Yuer. Xiang Yangsheng has been living here with the two of them for as long as he can remember.

Dad said it was a black elixir and said it was an unlucky thing. But I saw that it was a rare treasure. If it can save Brother Yang Sheng, it is a good thing.

Black Pill? I heard that my third uncle said that it was obtained from hunting a certain monster when he was young, and it has always been a trophy that he was proud of. Did he give the Black Pill to me?

It can be considered that the monster has done a good deed. Li Yuer said.

At that time, there was an urgent need for a golden elixir. Li Zekai was already in the Nascent Soul stage, so of course there was no golden elixir to dig up for Xiang Yang. And Li Yue'er was still in the Qi refining stage, so of course she didn't have a golden elixir. With only Xiang Yangsheng still alive, Li Zekai tried various methods to no avail, so he used the black elixir out of desperation.

Speaking of black elixirs, in fact, those who cultivate immortality form golden elixirs, while those who cultivate demons form black elixirs. There is no difference in others in the same realm. This black elixir is naturally formed by absorbing pure black demonic energy. Unlike the spiritual energy absorbed by immortal cultivators, which is golden, it is called black elixir.

Brother Yang Sheng, look inside your Dantian. Didn't you always say that you couldn't look inside your Dantian? My father said that the seal on your Dantian has been lifted, Li Yuer said.

Xiang Yangsheng closed his eyes and looked inside his Dantian.

He saw the black pill staying quietly in his dantian, slowly releasing traces of black energy. He carefully observed the black energy. Suddenly, many cries and wailings were heard, coming from the black air. He seemed to be frightened and quickly withdrew from the inner vision.

When he regained consciousness, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

Brother Yangsheng, what's wrong with you? What did you see? Li Yuexin asked worriedly.

It's okay. I couldn't see my Dantian internally before, but today I can suddenly see it. I'm just a little excited and surprised. Xiang Yangsheng didn't want to go into details, pretending to be calm, not wanting to cause Li Yuexin to worry, so he casually passed it by.

That's great. Brother Yang Sheng has always wanted to cultivate immortality. Now his Dantian has recovered and the seal has been lifted, so he finally got his wish. It's a blessing in disguise. Li Yuer said happily.

I hope so. Xiang Yangsheng said nothing, just looked at Li Yuer and smiled.

By the way, porridge. The porridge was spilled just now, so I knew that Brother Yangsheng would definitely wake up today. I have to prepare a meal for Brother Yangsheng quickly. As long as he is full, Brother Yangsheng will get better quickly.

As if he remembered something again, he carefully asked Xiang Yangsheng to lie down.

Lie down quickly, lie down quickly, and have a good rest. Be good, and I will bring it to you when the food is ready.

After watching Xiang Yangsheng lie down and close his eyes to rest, Li Yuer carefully closed the door and went out.

Just as he fell asleep, the events of the past few days turned into nightmares and pounced on him. On the bed, Xiang Yangsheng frowned tightly in his sleep.

Chapter 2 A lot of money

By the way, that was a few days ago, and Xiang Yangsheng was practicing on the mountain as usual.

What he practiced was the basic boxing technique that he insisted on being taught by his third uncle--Ding Dang Fist. When he reached great success, his fists broke through the wind and made a clanging sound. Because the Dantian is sealed, it is impossible to gather Qi. He practiced this boxing method more diligently, hoping that he would achieve something, and practiced from dawn to dusk every day.

He also knew in his heart that his third uncle was just giving him martial arts to kill time to kill him. But he is equally diligent, because this is the only way for him to reach immortality.

On this day, he had just performed ten sets of boxing, and besides the jingle of his own boxing style, he heard other sounds. An idea suddenly came to mind, someone was fighting with swords.

He practices hard by himself every day, and he doesn't know what level his boxing skills have reached. The third uncle always said that he practiced well, but he was not stupid. He knew how much he weighed, but he just lacked a comparison object. There happened to be someone competing today, so I just wanted to take a look.

He carefully looked for the sound and walked away. It was a man in white and a man in gray fighting with swords in the woods. This was the first time he saw immortal cultivators fighting. In addition to sword skills, there were also different spells and magic weapons flying in the sky.

This is the world of immortality that Xiang Yangsheng has always been looking forward to!

The two of them were obviously trading their lives for each other, and the man in gray slowly found himself at a disadvantage. When the fight came to a critical juncture, Xiang Yangsheng, who was fascinated by the fight, couldn't help but cheer. This cheer distracted both sides of the fight.

Shouting secretly, Xiang Yangsheng turned around and ran away. Third Uncle said that people who cultivate immortals are most afraid of someone hiding in the dark during a fight. Even if this person has no evil intentions, it has exposed his true identity and left endless troubles.

There is an unwritten rule in the world of immortality: Those who hide themselves will be killed if their strength allows.

He ran away, but fortunately he was familiar with the terrain and ran very fast.

Brother Yang Sheng, what are you practicing? You run so fast. He asked softly, it was Li Yuer who brought him food.

Not caring about anything else, Xiang Yangsheng picked up Li Yuer and ran away. As soon as they paused, the man in white stood in front of them with his sword in hand, blocking their way with his horizontal sword. Xiang Yangsheng hurriedly protected Li Yuer behind him and raised his fists to prepare for the fight.

    May I ask why you two are running so fast? The man in white is a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, about the same age as Xiang Yangsheng. There was a sarcastic smile on his face, and his chest in white clothes was red. He didn't know whether it was the blood of the man in gray clothes or his own.

Can you care? Xiang Yangsheng said angrily, while Li Yuer looked ignorant.

If you see something you shouldn't see, don't blame me for being rude. The young man in white raised his sword and was about to pounce on him, his face full of murderous intent.

Xiang Yangsheng's jingle fist has not yet been released, but Fa's sword has already reached his forehead. Fast, accurate and ruthless! After a comparison, I realized that the boxing technique I practiced so hard every day was rubbish.

Daddy, help! Li Yue'er was so frightened that her face turned pale.

A pressure from the Nascent Soul stage came quickly, causing the young man in white to stop hastily, and his murderous aura disappeared. The young man's swordsmanship has obviously been perfected and he can use it freely.

I don't know which senior is living in seclusion here. The junior disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect, Liao Fanyu, is disturbing the senior's cultivation.

After saying that, the boy in white put away his sword and slowly saluted in one direction. Liao Fanyu knew that he was no match for this coercive force, so he hurriedly reported his apprenticeship. Killing two insignificant people in front of you is not worth losing your own life.

To travel in the world of immortality, the first thing you need is strength, the second thing is luck, and the third thing is your master. Disciples of prestigious sects naturally have an extra chance to save their lives. No one wants to offend a powerful sect. If you accidentally kill an elder or the leader's proud disciple or descendant, you will really have to fight to the death with those old monsters.

When Xiang Yangsheng was locked by the opponent's sword, he broke out in a cold sweat. If the third uncle's pressure hadn't come in time, the opponent's sword would have killed him long ago.

Get out! An angry shout came from the sky.

Thank you, senior! The man in white was not annoyed when he was scolded, knowing that the senior would not pursue the matter any further. He glanced at Xiang Yangsheng coldly, moved his eyes a few more times, saluted again, and flew away with his sword.

No one noticed that he sneered again, looking at Xiang Yangsheng as if he was looking at a dead man.

Dad, that man just wanted to kill Brother Yang Sheng and me without saying a word, and you actually let him go so easily. Bad dad! Li Yue'er was clearly frightened just now, her face was still red and white.

Stop causing trouble, come home quickly, and disturb my nap. The majestic voice was replaced by an elder's light scolding.

knew.

Li Yue'er stuck out her tongue and made a face.

    Yue'er, you go back first, I still want to practice boxing. Xiang Yangsheng said.

Ah, Brother Yangsheng...

Be good!

Li Yuer handed the food she brought to Xiang Yangsheng, You must finish it.

I know, I know. Xiang Yangsheng reached out and took it.

Tomorrow is Yue'er's sixteenth birthday, and I want brother Yangsheng to give me a birthday gift.

Xiang Yangsheng opened the lunch box and looked at the food. Yue'er added a chicken drumstick for herself, turned around with a smile and said, What kind of birthday gift do you want?

When you give someone a gift, do you still need to ask what they think? It's up to you. Hmph! Li Yue'er obviously had something she wanted, but she didn't say anything and ran away quickly.

This girl. Xiang Yangsheng shook his head.

He was not in a hurry to eat, but put down his lunch box and ran towards the place where he found the man in white and the man in gray fighting. The man in white flew away with his sword, and he wanted to confirm the situation of the man in gray. I was thinking more about the talismans and magic weapons flying all over the sky. Those are the standard equipment for cultivating immortals.

When we arrived at the location, were there any traces of the fight just now?

Unexpectedly, they fought so fiercely. After the battle, the battlefield was cleaned up so quickly, and the boy in white caught up with him so quickly.

wrong! In such a short time, there must be some oversights. Xiang Yangsheng carefully searched this area, recalling the location and scene of the fight just now.

He moved lightly and finally stood still. Found some clues, he carefully squatted down and gently pulled away the soil under his feet with his hands, and a human hand was exposed. When he dug out the body, he saw that the man in gray was still bleeding from his neck. This sword must have been his fatal wound.

The face of the man in gray was covered in blood and flesh, and he must have been disfigured after death. There is a piece missing on the chest of the clothes, which is where the school uniform emblem of the sect is. It was obvious that the boy in white had torn it apart so that no one could identify which sect he was from and who he was?

A broken sword and an open Qiankun bag fell next to the body. The Qiankun bag had obviously been searched. The loser's Qiankun bag is the winner's trophy, and it is also an unwritten rule in the world of immortality.

Looking at the broken sword, the sword of the man in gray was not ordinary at first glance, but it was actually cut off by the man in white. Xiang Yangsheng didn't know swordsmanship, so he was naturally not interested in the broken sword. Instead, he picked up the Qiankun bag beside him.

There were no talismans or magic weapons he wanted in the Qiankun Bag, and they were all searched by the man in white. He poured everything out and placed it at his feet.

One thousand tael of silver notes, two thousand taels of silver notes, three thousand taels of silver notes... a total of twenty, a total of 20,000 taels of silver were buried in this wilderness. I think the young man in white gave it up deliberately. Immortal cultivators would not despise the huge sum of money in the eyes of mortals, but it was a big gain for Xiang Yangsheng.

It doesn't matter, I don't have the charms or magic weapons I want, but I got this huge amount of money, and I will go down the mountain to buy a gift for Yue'er tomorrow. Thinking about it this way, the feeling of loss without charms and magic weapons was better.

He was no longer as nervous as when he first started digging up the body. He buried the body and bowed before him. As a thank you for the gift, he carefully put away the banknotes and Qiankun bag.

He was no longer in the mood to practice Jingle Boxing. He had been practicing hard for many years, and he couldn't even dodge the sword of the boy in white. Such a useless boxing technique will never make it to the top even if you practice it to death.

The young man from the Immortal Sword Sect with a murderous look on his face was also respectful in front of his third uncle. He scared him away with an angry shout. I guess his third uncle was also very powerful. It's just that the third uncle has been hiding his strength, so Xiang Yangsheng is not sure about the true level of the third uncle, but he is definitely an expert.

When I go down the mountain tomorrow, in addition to buying a birthday gift for Yue'er, I will also buy some good wine for my third uncle, so that he can pass on some real skills to me.

In my wild thoughts, the sun went down quickly. This is also the first time that Xiang Yangsheng has stopped practicing Dingdang Boxing.

Xiang Yangsheng and Li Yuer were sitting in the courtyard eating together, while the third uncle was drinking wine in the house, not thinking about them. Xiang Yangsheng leaned towards Li Yuer and whispered.

You know? Your dad is very powerful.

It goes without saying. Li Yuer looked like she had known about it for a long time.

You know? What state is Third Uncle in now? Xiang Yangsheng looked at Li Yuer expectantly.

I don't know anything about cultivating immortals. I just do whatever my father tells me to do. For example, I am in the Qi Refining stage now, and my father seems to be in the Nascent Soul stage, which is several realms away from him. Li Yue'er looked serious, It's like talking about a big thing.

What? You are already in the Qi-refining stage. You are my daughter, and my third uncle is partial. Xiang Yangsheng put down his chopsticks, and everything he ate was tasteless.

Brother Yangsheng, don't be angry. You practice more diligently than me, and you will definitely be better than me in the future. I just took the pill and barely reached the early stage of Qi refining! Li Yuer also put down her chopsticks and acted coquettishly.

What elixir? Xiang Yang was energetic.

Dad said it's called Qi Gathering Pill, which can quickly increase the speed of Qi gathering. I promise, next time dad gives me the pill, I will definitely keep it for Brother Yang Sheng. Li Yuer raised her hand and was about to swear.

Fool, don't I still believe you? But my Dantian is blocked, and even taking all the miraculous medicines is useless.

Seeing Xiang Yangsheng depressed, Li Yuer quickly comforted him.

That's all! I'll secretly go down the mountain tomorrow. Tell me, what gift do you want? I'll buy it for you. Xiang Yangsheng thought of the Qiankun bag he picked up today, and suddenly became rich.

I want a jade bracelet. My father often takes out a jade bracelet when he is drunk and looks at it. That is my mother's thing. It is my mother's favorite thing. Yue'er is about to be sixteen years old. She will grow up. Yes, I also want a jade bracelet. Li Yuer blushed and expressed her request.

Okay, tomorrow I will go down the mountain and buy you the best jade bracelet. But you have to help me hide it from my third uncle and don't let him take me back.

In the past, the two of them often sneaked down the mountain to play, but in the end they were captured by Li Zekai.

Brother Yang Sheng, you have to come back soon. The person you met today is really dangerous. Li Yue'er wanted the jade bracelet very much, but she was very scared when she thought of the boy in white today.

Don't worry, I'll be right back!

It's a deal!

Chapter 3 Buy a primary spell

In the early morning of the next day, Xiang Yangsheng went out early under the pretext of going to practice boxing. Since Xiang Yangsheng learned Dingdang Boxing, he has been practicing diligently and with unwavering enthusiasm, so Li Zekai will not doubt him.

Brother Yangsheng, haven't you eaten your breakfast yet?

Xiang Yangsheng waved his hand towards her and walked away minding his own business.

Li Yue'er looked at Xiang Yangsheng's retreating back with a little worry, feeling a little bad about it. He looked at his father who had been drinking in the house all morning, but couldn't say what he wanted to say. I can only think that I am too worried.

Yesterday, the fierce young man in white was scared away by his father. He would definitely be too scrupulous to cause trouble again.

The past few years of practicing boxing have not made Xiang Yangsheng very strong in combat, but his body has obviously become much stronger. He ran all the way down the mountain quickly. It was rare to sneak out, and he wanted to have fun.

    The hunter at the foot of the mountain was repairing his hunting bow and arrow when he saw Xiang Yangsheng running by. He raised his head, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile, Haha, I wonder if your kid has sneaked down the mountain again, be careful if your third uncle catches you and beats him again.

The hunter at the foot of the mountain and Xiang Yangsheng naturally became familiar with each other after getting along for a long time. They went down the mountain to do some shopping and naturally chatted with each other. Sometimes hunters would go into the mountains to hunt and ask for a drink of water from Li Yue'er. Li Zekai would also buy some prey from the hunters.

It is inevitable to chat about daily life, and we will naturally become familiar with each other.

Xiang Yangsheng stopped in a hurry and looked at the cakes on Orion's table, Uncle Zhang, don't laugh at me. I have something urgent to do in the city.

I didn't eat breakfast and ran all the way down, which consumed a lot of energy and inevitably made me feel hungry.

Come in, you brat. You must not have had breakfast yet. Your aunt just baked some cakes. Zhang Orion pointed at the cakes on the table.

I was a little embarrassed that my little thoughts were seen through by the other party.

I took the cake and it was very hot. Xiang Yangsheng exchanged the cake back and forth between his hands and took a firm bite. Thank you Auntie, thank you Uncle Zhang.

What are you going to do in the city?

It's Yue'er's birthday today. I'm going to buy her some gifts and some good wine for my third uncle.

Good boy, if there is good wine, I will bring you a jar for Uncle Zhang. After saying this, Orion took out a few taels of silver.

How can I ask for your money, Uncle Zhang? I will definitely bring it to you when I come back. I will treat you as a filial piety.

Zhang Orion didn't expect Xiang Yangsheng to be so generous, and he was very happy with a smile on his face, Let's have another cake, Zhang, eat more to grow taller.

Thank you, Uncle Zhang. After taking another piece of cake, Xiang Yangsheng ran away quickly.

This kid, at this age, is still as naughty as when he was a kid, running so fast. The old couple said with a smile.

Old man, if you don't want to go hunting in the mountains, you should talk to the child's elders. If the child sneaks out, don't get into any trouble!

Okay, okay. Zhang Orion adjusted the bow and sat down to drink tea and eat cakes.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Orion, Xiang Yangsheng looked around while eating the cake. It didn't take long for us to hit the main road. There were stalls all the way, selling all kinds of novel, delicious and fun things.

This is the main road to the capital, so it is naturally more prosperous than ordinary places. The roads are paved with bluestone, which is quite easy to walk on. Rich people ride big horses or sit in large sedan chairs, while ordinary people stroll slowly, while others bargain with roadside vendors.

There are always people who buy satisfactory items at satisfactory prices.

After eating the cake, Xiang Yangsheng felt energetic and crowded in front of various stalls. After seeing several jade bracelets, I felt dissatisfied. It's Yue'er's sixteenth birthday, and she has a lot of money, so she must buy the best jade bracelet. It seems that the only way is to go to the city first and then look for it.

In the crowd, Xiang Yangsheng suddenly heard the sound of selling charms. Sure enough, it is the main road to the capital, and even the charms of immortal cultivators are sold. This time he had planned to go to the auction house in the capital to see if there were any auctions of charms and magic weapons.

The stall selling charms was crowded with people. Most ordinary people had only heard of it. This was a rare sight, so they were all crowded together. There are also some people who have seen a little bit of the world, looking at the charms and making comments.

This is really a talisman. I saw it at the Shangjing Auction House. I didn't expect someone to sell it here with a talisman.

Shangjingcheng is indeed Shangjingcheng. It's my first time here. I didn't expect that there are people selling charms on the avenue.

People talked a lot and continued to express their opinions.

Give me a moment, please, please let me pass. Xiang Yangsheng squeezed in the crowd.

After finally squeezing into the front row, I could see the true appearance of the talisman. I saw that the stall owner was about forty years old, and he was wearing a strong attire and had a slight bald head. He is holding a piece of yellow paper between his index and middle fingers on his left hand, showing it to everyone. The charm was in his hand like an ordinary piece of yellow paper.

Everyone, come here and take a look. Is there any expert who knows the basic fireball spell? It only costs a thousand taels of silver. It's a bargain.

One thousand taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live comfortably for more than ten years. It's not like you are a powerful person going to the capital. Who on the road to the capital would spend a thousand taels here to buy a junior talisman. Immortal cultivators' belongings must only appear in auction houses in the upper capital, and be sold to those who know the goods.

This is considered common sense. There is naturally a special trading place for the items of immortal cultivators. This is the first time that he sells cultivators' charms in a market for ordinary people. Although everyone knows about cultivating immortals, not everyone will practice it. But I have never eaten pork, and there are still some people who have seen pigs running, and people watching the excitement keep coming around.

The stall owner didn't care about this at all and continued to shout, Good products only wait for the right people. Don't miss them when you pass by. This is the only one for this shop. Once sold out, leave.

That was a talisman, standard for immortal cultivators, and Xiang Yangsheng was immediately moved. With the talisman, he was one step closer to being a cultivator of immortality. It's just that he's not stupid. Things sold on the street will not be recognized as soon as he hands them over. You can't spend your money on a fake.

Some people whispered to each other, and some were amazed, but no one wanted to buy it. Xiang Yangsheng stood up and said, Can you prove that this charm is real? I will buy it.

Go away, poor boy. Can you afford it for a thousand taels of silver? When the stall owner saw Xiang Yangsheng's dress, he didn't look like a young man from another family and drove him away impatiently.

People around him laughed at Xiang Yangsheng, who really thought he was, and said he would buy someone else's charm for a thousand taels. Judging from the way this kid is dressed, he is probably crazy from poverty, so poor that he has lost his mind and gone crazy.

Without explaining his contempt for everyone, he directly took out a thousand-tael silver note from the Qiankun bag hidden at his waist. The money is here. It proves that the spell is real. The money is yours.

Just now everyone said he was a poor man, but unexpectedly he actually took out a thousand taels of silver notes and slapped them in the face every minute.

The stall owner's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, spiritual power was injected, and the spell glowed red. A fireball appeared faintly on the yellow talisman, ready to go.

The crowd suddenly became commotion, it was a real spell. Several wealthy people immediately took out their banknotes and rushed to buy this charm. Some people are upset that they didn’t bring enough money when they went out and missed the opportunity to buy this charm.

I'll give you one thousand one hundred taels.

I'll give you one thousand, two hundred taels.

I'll give you one thousand three hundred taels.

…

The avenue seemed to have turned into a small auction house. It was inevitable that there would be a few wealthy people. How could they be willing to miss the chance of a treasure? Even if you don't need it yourself, you can still give it to the powerful people in the city to build connections.

I'll give you two thousand taels. Xiang Yangsheng took out another one thousand taels of silver notes.

Those who just looked down upon him as a poor man took a breath of air. This poor boy was still a hidden rich man.

The charm is yours. The stall owner put the charm in Xiang Yangsheng's hand and took away the two silver notes in his hand.

Before anyone else could bid again, the stall owner directly made contact with Xiang Yangsheng, which surprised the other people who wanted to bid again. Didn't he earn even more money?

Unexpectedly, he got a talisman as soon as he got off the mountain, and Xiang Yangsheng was filled with joy.

Boy, give me the talisman. I'll give you two thousand one hundred taels to make a friend. A man with a fierce look said to Xiang Yangsheng.

Not for sale. It's rare to get the charm you want, how can it be easily changed hands.

The man with a fierce look wanted to find the stall owner and ask him if he had a second charm for sale. The crowd dispersed, and the stall owner disappeared with the flow of people. A moment later, the stall owner appeared in a teahouse in Shangjing City.

In a private room, a sword was placed on the table. A young man in white clothes was looking out the window absentmindedly, gently sipping the fragrant tea in the cup. Two beautiful ladies beside him gently fanned him without saying a word.

Young Master, everything is as expected. A young man bought the talisman for two thousand taels. The banknote has been confirmed and he is the person the young master is looking for.

The boy in white took a look at the banknote. A trace of spiritual energy on the banknote returned to the boy in white. There was absolutely no mistake. It was the bank note that he deliberately abandoned yesterday, and it was the bait that he deliberately put down.

Some people, no matter how powerful their elders support them, will eventually fall. They are like fish that were pulled ashore, and finally lost their lives for the small profit in front of them.

Young Master, I think the other party is a stupid young man. Who would sell magic talismans on the road? It's such an obvious trap. Why don't you let your subordinates kill him on the road to save you the trouble of planning.

The young man in white glared at him and spilled some tea. The two ladies quickly wiped it carefully. The man immediately lowered his head, facing the boy in white with his bald head, not daring to say another word.

Other than him, there is no interesting layout. Besides, there are elders from the Nascent Soul stage behind him. Can you guarantee that after killing him, his elders will not doubt me? That is the Nascent Soul stage, do you want me? Are you going to hide in the master’s gate all your life and never go out?

Young master is wise. When he enters the city, he will be like a sparrow in a cage with wings. I will contact other people to kill him and make sure he is clean. Baldhead hurriedly gave him a flattery.

Keep an eye on him and lead him here after entering the city...of course someone will take care of him. The young man in white is naturally Liao Fanyu of the Immortal Sword Sect.

The bald man listened to Liao Fanyu's arrangement and smiled sinisterly, How wonderful! Any accidents in the city are always inevitable. Besides, if he gets into trouble himself, his parents can't do anything about it.

Go! The lady poured the fragrant tea for Liao Fanyu again.

The bald man retreated, and Liao Fanyu looked out the window again, with a murderous look on his face and said, The unwritten rules of the world of immortality: if the strength allows, those who hide will be killed. If you want to blame, blame you for not appearing at that time. You should not have appeared at that time. The place."

Chapter 4: Money makes things easier

Shangjingcheng, the capital of the Empire of Light, as the capital of a country on this continent, naturally cannot lose face.

Entering the city, it can be said that there is a lot of traffic, various shops are dazzling, people are surging, and it is indescribably lively. Xiang Yangsheng was shocked every time he entered the city, and this time was no exception.

Go to the capital, I'm coming. He yelled and entered the city, making the soldiers guarding the gate look like a fool.

In this city, as long as you have money, you can buy everything you want. Before this, you can't buy everything with large banknotes, you still have to exchange banknotes for cash. He quickly ran into a nearby bank and prepared to exchange the banknotes.

When the banknote was handed over, the shopkeeper did not look at it, but first looked at Xiang Yangsheng.

The shopkeeper of the bank always judged people very accurately, but Xiang Yangsheng was not like the rich people he judged by his standards. Even if someone suddenly took a large banknote to exchange, he would still think of him as a servant of a wealthy family.

He just asked him to wait aside, and then walked to the back room. This was the bank's practice of checking the authenticity of banknotes. Xiang Yangsheng didn't say anything and could only wait obediently.

In the back room, a bald man was sitting there drinking tea. If Xiang Yangsheng saw it, wouldn't this be the stall owner who sold him the elementary fireball spell in the city? Why did this bald man end up in a bank?

The shopkeeper of the bank came in and carefully presented the banknotes with both hands. The bald man put down his tea and took the banknote. There is no need to go outside to identify the person, and he knows that there is nothing wrong. The person the young master must kill is outside this bank. I admired the young master again in my heart. The young master really knows everything well and has everything under control.

I exchanged it for him and gave him a piece of good news for free. Today's competition in the city is held by Nestorian and Yunjiao. The winner can get a good magic weapon. Tell him accidentally and lure him there.

The shopkeeper of the bank definitely didn't know the bald man's intention, but the bald man was an immortal cultivator, and he came to him with the token to do something, so he was not someone he could offend. Whatever he said, he did. Take the order, bow and leave.

Turning around and going to the front hall again, Xiang Yangsheng stood under the counter and waited for a while. When the shopkeeper finally came out, he raised his head and looked at him. My banknote was taken from an immortal cultivator. There is no way it could be fake, so I should exchange it as soon as possible.

The shopkeeper, who was still cold at first, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and immediately put on a smiling face, I have kept you waiting for a long time, young hero. There is nothing wrong with the banknote. I am redeeming it for you. Please come into the inner hall and wait a moment.

Before Xiang Yangsheng could think too much, a secret door in the front hall opened. A pretty little maid who looked to be in her early teens came out and timidly led Xiang Yangsheng in. It doesn't matter, Shangjing is not a small place, and such a big bank belongs to a chain, no doubt others, so I just went in to see what it was like inside.

This is the first time he has entered the inner hall of a bank, which is where the bank serves big customers and important figures. I've been coming to the bank quite a lot in the past, but it's rare that I can enjoy the VIP service today, which is the first time.

The inner hall is luxuriously decorated, and the chairs and tea tables are worth a lot of money at a glance. Only when the shopkeeper kept asking him to sit down did Xiang Yangsheng regain his consciousness and sit down carefully. Not to mention, this chair is really more comfortable than the ordinary chairs on the mountain. I will go back and buy one for my third uncle. Why do we have money now?

    It was the same little maid as before. She immediately handed over the tea, then pressed her shoulders and tapped her legs. Xiang Yangsheng was flattered, the VIP service was really considerate. Running all the way down from the mountain is rare and tiring, not to mention how pleasant it is.

The shopkeeper of the bank saw Xiang Yangsheng's lack of understanding and made up his mind. Just now, I was still worried about how to unintentionally reveal the information to the other party that Mr. Xiangfa explained. After seeing Xiang Yangsheng's behavior, I was already 90% convinced.

Immediately determine that the other party is a heartless master.

Young hero, please have some tea! the shopkeeper extended his hand to ask.

Xiang Yangsheng didn't hesitate to pick up the tea and drink it all in one gulp. Not to mention, he was really thirsty after eating two large cakes on the way. Seeing Xiang Yangsheng drinking tea so rudely, the little maid serving him covered her face and smiled. How can anyone sample such good tea like this?

The shopkeeper glared at the maid angrily, Why don't you continue pouring tea for the young hero?

The maid stopped smiling and immediately gave Xiang Yangsheng a cup of tea. After pouring the tea, he brought fruits and cakes for Xiang Yangsheng to eat, and then picked up a fan to fan Xiang Yangsheng.

This fruit is so delicious, and this pastry is so fragrant. Xiang Yangsheng had never seen such exquisite fruits and pastries, and he was very happy to eat them.

I ate in a hurry and choked. The little maid immediately handed me the tea. After several cups of tea, Xiang Yangsheng finally felt comfortable and less nervous, and thanked the shopkeeper repeatedly. It’s just that I haven’t seen the shopkeeper bring the cash for exchange yet, so I wonder if the food and drink just now won’t count, right? Ask.

Young hero is an honored guest. Don't be dissatisfied with poor hospitality. Why would you ask for money from young hero?

The shopkeeper stopped laughing heartily and continued.

But you don't know, there is a competition in the capital today, it is very lively, and naturally there is a lot of money flowing. So you can only wait here for a long time. I have ordered people to go to other banks to transfer cash.

After saying this, the shopkeeper pretended to pick up the tea and drink it, but his eyes were always observing Xiang Yangsheng's actions.

Who is organizing the competition? Xiang Yangsheng was indeed led to this topic by him.

Young man, you are not from Shangjing City, right? You don't even know about such a large-scale competition. The competition that caused such a sensation must be organized by the Nestorian Church and the Long Church. The shopkeeper responded naturally.

Jingjiao, is it the Jingjiao in Rizhao Shangjing? Longjiao, is it the Longjiao with a dragon by its side? Xiang Yangsheng was excited.

Does our Bright Empire have a second Nestorian Church and a second Obscure Church? Even if they are not immortal cultivators, everyone in the Bright Empire knows about them.

    Nestorianism and Yunjiao are the two major immortal religions in the Guangming Empire, and they are also known as the state religion. Their competitions are naturally the most exciting in the Empire of Light. No wonder Shangjing City is particularly lively today, and there is another reason behind it. The people of the Bright Empire all want to take this opportunity to perform well in front of the second religion, hoping to be accepted into the religion.

I heard that those who perform well in wrestling can be directly selected by the Second Sect to become registered disciples. What a great opportunity! Seeing the opportunity, the shopkeeper added fire to encourage him.

In the past, Xiang Yangsheng would have tried it immediately. Now that I know how powerful my third uncle is, I even think about how to slap him on the butt. Why would you still think about other sects of cultivating immortals?

Seeing that Xiang Yangsheng didn't answer immediately, he was still eating and drinking cakes. The shopkeeper put down the tea cup and got down to the topic, I saw that the young hero is also a martial arts practitioner. Isn't the young hero curious about the prize in the arena?

The lottery prize is naturally not an ordinary thing, otherwise it would not be worthy of the arena set up by Nestorian and Longjiao. However, since he only knows jingle boxing, he already thinks of jingle boxing as a rubbish boxing technique, so he is no longer interested in fighting.

The assessment of Dingdang Boxing as rubbish boxing was exactly the same as yesterday's sword fight with Liao Fanyu. I have practiced boxing for three years, but I can't stand a single round with the opponent's sword.

To be honest with the shopkeeper, I have indeed practiced boxing and kicking for three years, but it is only a superficial skill and cannot be used on the stage. Naturally, there are many people who can compete in the two major teachings. This lottery is still available to those who are capable, but I am really powerless.

The shopkeeper didn't let Xiang Yangsheng interrupt the rhythm and said directly, Magic weapon, I heard it is a great magic weapon. Aren't you even interested in seeing the brilliance of the magic weapon?

Of course I have to go and see it if I have time, but I have other important things to do.

Young hero, if you have something important to do, maybe I can be of some help. There's nothing I can't do in Shangjing City. The shopkeeper said.

Jade bracelet, I want to buy the best jade bracelet in the capital. Does the shopkeeper know where I can buy it? Xiang Yangsheng was full of joy. He didn't expect that the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic to help. He really met a noble person when he went out.

The shopkeeper reached out and took out a cloth handkerchief, and when he opened it, there was a jade bracelet inside. Young hero, please take a look.

The sparkling light made it look like a jade bracelet of excellent quality. This was exactly the high-quality jade bracelet Xiang Yangsheng had been looking for.

It's just what I want. I wonder how the shopkeeper can sell this thing?

It's a worthless thing. We are so destined to each other, so I just want to make friends and give it to him. I wonder if the young hero is free now. How about we make an appointment to watch the competition in the ring?

Xiang Yangsheng naturally didn't believe that there was such a good thing, but after getting the thing, he had to believe it. It's easy to talk, but I have other things to do. I'll go there in an hour.

Something really happened at this time. I bought wine to flatter my third uncle and took someone else's jade bracelet. I couldn't ask others to give me a few bottles of wine. I went out and bought it myself, and then I came back.

Okay, I will be waiting for you in the ring in an hour. In the evening, I will set up a table of good food and wine for my little brother in the Juxian Tower.

I don't want to take it, I don't want to take it. Xiang Yangsheng declined immediately, almost thinking that the shopkeeper he met on the first day was his friend.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, the shopkeeper retreated, turned around and walked to the back room to report back to the bald man. He was still saying, Wait a moment, young hero, I'll get the cash right away.

The little maid whispered that the shopkeeper was a little strange today. Just give away the precious jade bracelet you finally received? Still so enthusiastic about this silly boy. Could it be the shopkeeper's long-lost relative?

After a while, Xiang Yangsheng walked out of the bank with the exchanged cash. He went to the stall in front of the door and bought candied haws on a stick, which is a snack he must buy every time he goes to town. This time I have money, so I buy ten strings at a time. It's so sweet that your mouth can't open anymore and your saliva is so sweet that you can't even swallow it.

I saw several women chatting and laughing in front of a stall again. Xiang Yangsheng came forward and saw that it was a stall selling rouge and gouache.

Sisters, which rouge is better?

Several women laughed when they saw Xiang Yang giving birth to a man to buy rouge. Does such a handsome young man also wear rouge?

I don't think so. I must have bought it for my sweetheart.

Little handsome boy, if you buy rouge for your sweetheart, your sisters will be angry.

Sisters, please stop teasing me and spare me. Xiang Yangsheng could only choose a rouge for himself, guessing that Li Yuer would like it. I paid the money and left the stall.

He wandered to several food stalls. There were many snacks that he had wanted to eat but had never eaten before. Today he wanted to try each one. Only when he couldn't eat anymore, he sat on a bench on the street to rest.

After playing for a while, he had already forgotten what the bank boss said about waiting for him in the ring. If he had time, he would definitely go and have a look. He just promised Li Yuer that he would go back early, so naturally he didn't dare to waste time with fun.

It's annoying that the bank boss was waiting in front of the ring but no one from Xiang Yang was there. The bald man looked at him coldly in the crowd, making his back feel cold. Today's young people are not honest at all.

We just talked about it well, we are brothers and sisters, but after taking the things, we disappeared. I really lost my bracelet, but I didn’t become bald.

Chapter 5: Overturned jealousy

    Juxian Tower is the best restaurant in Beijing. It is also the most self-willed restaurant that only sells one type of wine, called Drunken Eight Immortals. Legend has it that eight immortals came here to drink before. The wine was so fragrant that even the eight immortals became drunk.

Originally a fairy in heaven, he fell into the mortal world for wine. The Eight Drunken Immortals are famous far and wide. It is said that the immortals occasionally gather in this restaurant, so it is called Juxian Tower.

A young man walked out of Juxian Tower with a jar of wine in his left hand and a jar of wine in his right hand, feeling a pain in his face. But it was only two jars of wine. I didn't expect it to be so ridiculously expensive. Fortunately, I had a lot of money.

I wanted to try the delicacies inside, but I was too full from the street snacks just now. I thought I would try it again next time I brought Li Yuer with me. Eating can't be just about eating. Eating and drinking alone is boring.

Picking up girls is the real meaning of eating!

The young man who has such a high level of consciousness at such a young age is Xiang Yangsheng. He was thinking happily as he walked towards the outside of the city, planning to go back to the mountain.

This is the best wine in the capital. Take it back to honor your third uncle. When he is happy, he might accept me as his disciple... In the future, if I learn a lot, maybe we can even get married, hehe...

After walking for a short distance, the street in front was noisy.

The crowd gathered around to watch the excitement, and only heard the cry of a girl, mixed with the angry curses of several big men. It was obvious that someone was about to be bullied. The passers-by pointed and pointed, but no one stepped forward to stop him.

Such a thing happens in the capital. There are still people who bully civilian girls in the street. Xiang Yang felt chivalrous and walked quickly. He had to make the thugs look good.

After rushing into the crowd, I saw three strong men with big faces and thick necks, and full beards. When he raised his arms, they were thicker than his legs. At first glance, these three are tough characters who have been practicing martial arts for many years. Their faces are full of fierceness, and they are not angry but proud. Xiang Yangsheng absolutely believed that he would die if they came over with a fist.

They were surrounding a little girl, who was still in the pear blossoms in the rain, and her makeup was all stained from tears.

Before he could take a closer look, the strong man in the lead glared angrily when he saw Xiang Yangsheng rushing into the crowd. He was so frightened that Xiang Yangsheng loosened his grip and
